A “G EYE VIEW
OF NOME
By CPL. W. D. STARNES
‘ Out of the ever-increasing de
mand for entertainment for the
Iboys in the armed forces has
risen a new and unique form of
Screen fare which is produced
exclusively for the men overseas
in the form of “G. I. MOVIES.”
The pictures run for approxi
mately 45 minutes in length and
cover practically everything un
der the sun from the adventures
of an outstanding cartoon charac
ter by the name of “Private
(Snafu” whose troubles seem end
less, to rare action shots taken
in the thick of battle.
.. This program^ is produced by
the Motion Picture Unit of the
War Department and is shown to
the men overseas by the Special
Service Division. It’s a first
jclass bit of entertainment and
ihe boys really eat it up.
The talk of the post the past
Jew days has been about the holi
day events, including the Xmas
Variety Show and Boxing Car
nival. And in regards to the lat
ier and for those who wish to be
informed, we’ve certainly a lot
of fistic talent hidden in the
ranks, but soon to be unveiled.
. The boys have been hitting the
tundra and training hard lately
under the ace supervision of
Warrant Officer Lou Price, a
former top-notch “Golden Glov
er” before answering the call to
the colors. Included among the
Specialists in the manly art of
self-defense are Cpl. John Alt,
Johnnie Terasoff, Sgt. Louis
Dawson, Pfc^Yirgil Hendon, Pvt.
feus Wovlr.'hi/'Pyt- Grad»e Edmis
ton, Pfc. Henry ‘‘Hammering
Hank.” Cullen, Sgt. Loren Cox.

COUNCIL RECEIVES
PETITION
Accompanied by an accusing
sp eech by Sam Estes, well known
Fairbanks resident, an aftermath
of the Second Avenue fire ten
days ago was plumped on the
City Council table last night in
the form of a petition asking ap
pointment of a full time fire
chief.
The Council listened to the
reading of the petition and the 57
names of signers, then voted to
receive and file it. In a subse
quent action the whole question
of the Second Avenue fire was
referred to the fire committee for
a report next meeting. Members
of the committee are Percy Hub
bard, chairman; A. L. Wilbur and
Wilbur WalkeT.
The petition follows in part:
“We the undersigned, tax pay
ers and citizens of Fairbanks,
.Alaska, respectfully petition the
Honorable Mayor of Fairbanks,
Alaska, and the City Council, of
Fairbanks, Alaska, to aprpoint a
full-time fire chief for the said
City of Fairbanks, Alaska, for the
reason that it has become appar
ent that one man cannot hold two
jobs at the same time, namely
Chief of Police and Fire Chief,
and that it is to the best interest
of the Town of Fairbanks, Alas
ka, that a full-time Fire Chief
be appointed,”—Fairbanks News
Miner.
BENEFIT GAMES
HELD WEDNESDAY
The Christmas benefit games,
which netted $57.00 to the Com
munity Christmas Tree Fund,
were played with great gusto.
$27.00 of the amount was raised
by the army Engineers’ team.
The first game between two
arm teams was a sort of one-sid
;ed affair, ending in a score of
! 30 to 3.
i The second game was quite a
different story. The ball game
, was hotly contested every inch of
the way. First one side had a one
run lead, then the other team
would nose out to an equal lead.
It was no man’s game r.ght up
to hte last inning.
Many of the spectators sa d it
was the best game they had seen
in years. The Alaska Territorial
Guard was nosed out in the sev
enth inning by one run. the final
score being 13 to 12.
CANDLE LIGHTING
SERVICE HELD
Sunday evening services a! •
Federated Church were very .m
pressive. A candle-lighting ser
vice was held in which the en
time congregation marched in a
candle procession. Mr. Lmdgren
of White Mountain conducted
the services and preached a fine j
sermon at the request of Rev. !
Booker, who has been ill the past
week. The junior and Federated
choirs sang hymns and special
music. After the services refresh
ments were served in the social
room, by Hostesses Mrs. Pete
Sather and Mrs. John Kanari.
