Will Extend Service
Far to North and West
JUNEAU, UP)—Television Sta
tion KINY-TV in Juneau has an
nounced plans to expand its ser

the capital city.
But Manager J. W. McKinley

and Skagway. Later, he says, an
other micro-wave relay system
will be erected to carry the TV
signal south and then west across
Admiralty Island to Angoon, and
from there to Sitka.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVORSON
The people in Alaska and the
far northern regions of the world
have been unusually fortunate
this spring in that a comet has
been visible to them.
Because the comet is close to
the meridian of the sun, it has
not been visible to the average
observer in the States. Only the
astronomers at the observatories
using their ' telescopes have ob
served the comet. In the far north,
however, the sun was at a con
siderable distance below the
northern horizon, making it suf
ficiently dark to behold the comet.
The comet called Arend-Roland
is named after two Belgians who
discovered it last November 8th.
It was brightest on April 10, but
at that time it was so close to the
sun in the sky that it could be
seen only from certain parts of
the southern hemisphere.
The comet has now practically
vanished but astronomers at the
observatories hope to follow it
for many months with telescopes.
Johnnie Stephenson of the
| Music Box returned from a busi
I ness trip to Seattle. She said that
her husband “Steve” Stephanson
who has been in the States for
medical treatment is much im
proved and will be returning to
Nome very soon.
Croked politicians get into of
fice because honest men fail to
do their duty.
