That cold spell was a “dilly” I
while it lasted and did the oil:
j run through the burners? How
ever the temperature has moder
ated and again returned to nor
mal.
Only one call was made on the
fire department during the three
or four day cold snap. Upos ar
rival at the Nevada it was discov
ered that a chimney had been
throwing sparks and the services
of the department were not need
ed.
Usuallp during extreme cold
temperature the fire department
receives many calls to homes and
cabins where overheated flues
and smoke-stacks present a grave
danger. The recent snap however
passtd with no one being burned
j out and with no damage done in
j the wya of fires.
Arrivals on the Monday PAA
| mail plane were Mrs. Guy E
Mish and Warren Stanton. Mrs
Mish is wife of the local post

Telegraphic advices from Geor
ge Hupprich, 1940 manager of
the Nenana Ice Pool declared
that this year the pool will close
April 6th after which date no
more guesses will be accepted on
the date and time cf the ice mov
ing out at Nenana.
Tickets for guessing it is re
ported will be ready for the pub
lie in a few days.
Last year nearly $100,000 was
gathered in the pool and was di
vided up those guessing nearest
the time the ice went out.
Now known as annual Alaskan
guessing classic the Nanana Ice
Pool has drawn attention all over
the United States. Reason for|
such interest is the manner and
way in which the pool has been
conducted. It has always been
free from any racket or crooked i
ses and the confidence cf the j
public has been steadfast in its
j management. It is open to the j
public of Alaska only and is not
nation-wide although requests
from various parts of the States
for tickets are often received, j
