CHRISTMAS FUND SET
UP FOR (HISTINSON
BY LOCAL MILL MEN
Because they figured that the j
money set aside for their Christmas
party would do better some place
else, members of the Local M-271, |
International Woodworkers Union.!
decided to help two people with the j
funds equally divided between them.
Mrs. Howard Dixon, whose husband
died from a sudden heart attack
last Wednesday morning, and Hel
wig Christinson are recipients of I
the Christmas party funds. j
Dixon was employed at the Ju- ,
neau Lumber Co., as a mill worker.
Christinson survived three days of
exposure on Yakobi Rock after the
sinking of the fishing vesel Dixie
November 15. Fred Wetche and son,
both of Pelican, did not survive
the accident. Christinson, who has
been hospitalized since November
18 when he was brought into Ju
neau. Is making it about the hospi
tal in a wheel chair now.
His attending physician. Dr. Jo
seph Rude, said that Christinson
will be home for Christmas holidays
if he continues to imprive. His legs
were amputated midway to the
kiiees as a result of freezing while
he clung to Yakobi Rock for three
days prior to his rescue. Christ
inson will have to return to the
hospital here after Christmas for
more medical attention.
In light of this. Local M-271 is
setting up a Christmas fund for
Christinson. Donations to the fund,
according to L. G. Hicks, local un
ion president, wil be accepted at
the office of the Juneau Lumber
Co., South Franklin. Checks or
money can be mailed to the of! ice
for the fund through Saturday.

Holy Year Jubilee Is
Extended One Year;
Proclamation Soon
VATICAN CITY. Dec. 15 — (iP) —
The holy year jubilee which ends
here on Christmas Eve will be ex
tended through all of 1951 to the
entire world.
Millions of Catholics who were
unable to make a pilgrimage to
Rome in the 1950 holy year will
thereby be given the opportunity to
gain the spiritual benefits in their
own cities.
Vatican sources said today that
extension of the holy year—which
will apply to the whole world except
Rome—will be the same as for the
holy year now ending the 25th in
the nearly 2,000 years of the church.
A Papal bull proclaiming the ex
tension officially, as was done at
the end of the 1925 holy year, is
expected to be published on Christ
mas Day.
Eggs that fail to hatch in U. S.
commercial incubators would load
nearly 1,400 freight cars a year.'
Only about 70 per cent of eggs
placed in commercial incubators
hatch out. according to the U. S.
North American Indians seldom
kept dogs as pets in early times,
but as hunters and sentinels'anti
sometimes as food.
