I VOTE I
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET 1
Alaska’s General Election occurs next month
on Sept. 8th. Among the things our country is H
lighting to preserve is the right of ballot — the a
right of a free people to elect their representa
tives in Government.
Every citizen who is a qualified voter in the B
2nd Division should cast his vote on election day. I
If your work or business does not permit going I
to a voting pace, provided you are two or more
miles away, you can up to two days before elec- ®
tion, cast an absentee ballot at the U. S. Com- §j
missioner's office of your district, or you can r;
write to your commissioner requesting that an p
absentee ballot be mailed to you.

Fire Causes Damage of
$21.000 At Cordova As
School Building Blazes
Cordova, Aug. — Fire,
thought to have been caus
ed. b\ spontaneous combus
tion in the chemistry lab
or tore recently gutted the
upper floor of the old part
of the school building and
caused extensive damage
to both the old and new
parts of the building.
The old part of the build
ing is of frame construc
tion and the new part is
concrete.
The total damage is esti
mated at $21 ,()T)0.
Difficulty in securing ma
terials and equipment pre
sents a problem to the city
and school officials to get
ready for the opening of
the fall term of school.
There is a possibility the
municipal building may be
i pressed into service to
meet the emergency.
NOTICE AS TO
BIRTH CERTIFICATES
The Board of Census of the Do
partment of Commerce has is
sued a notice to the various Reg
istrars of Vital Statistics through
out the country, that hereafter a
fee will be charged for the ex
amination of census in all cases.
Frank A. Boyle is registrar of
Vital Statistics in the Territory
of Alaska. Where the examina
tion is to be made in due course
of business the fee is $1, but
where the applicant is in a hurry
and wants immediate action a fee
of S3 will be required.
In view of the recent decision
by the Government, not to re
quire birth certificates of persons
applying for work in defense
activities, it is likely that there
will be little necessity for inquir
ies of the Census Bureau in the
future.
Paul V. McNutt, Chairman of
the War Manpower Commission,
has announced that applicants in
; defens plants need no longer
present birth certificates to prove
; citizenship. Applicants merely
! need to sign, in the presence of
I an army or navy plant represent
j alive, that he is a citizen and
that he knows the penalty for
i misrepresenting his status. The
fine for such misrepresentation is
S 10.000 or five years’ imprison
ment, or both.

Installation Of New
Giant Transmitter for
KFAR Goes Ahead Fast
Installation work on Radio Sta
tion KFAR’s giant now transmit
ter. which when installed will !
blast forth Alaska’s strongest ]
radio signal, is progressing rapid \
ly, according to advices from the
j station management.
In answer to hundreds of in- !
quiries as to the opening date of j
the new tran-piission with 5000 '
watts of power in comparison to
the present 1000 watts, KFAR en
gineers state that there is a pos
sibility of broadcasting the first1]
programs on October 1st. with a |
remote possibility of an even ear j
lier date. \
Anxiously awaited in Alaskan jj
cities and towns not now receiv
ing KF^AR programs. Bud Fos
ter, KFAR manager reports that
people in these areas are writing
for full information on the in
creased power and added service.
Full Time Service
It is conservatively estimated
by KFAR engineers that KFAR
will give full time service to all
major Alaskan cities and towns
in Greater Alaska and night-time
coverage to cities in the north
ern section of the Alaska “Pan
handle” such as Skagway, Ju
neau. Sitka, Petersburg and
Wrangell. The high, mountain- j
ous region which separates these
cities from the Interior is a nat
ural barrier to radio signals.
Will Have Unlimited Coverage
KFAR at night will however,
have an unlimited coverage and
easily should be heard on the
Pacific Coast.
More complete details on the1
progress of the installation will
be hear over KFAR each Mon
day evening at 7 p.m. (Fairbanks I
time) when Manager Bud Fos- J
ter and Chief Engineer Stan j
Bennett discuss the progress of I
the work just to keep the listen- j
j er informed on latest develop- j
! ments and take him “behind the
j scenes" tor an intimate glimpse I
! of what “makes the wheels go!
j ’round."
