Shortage of Skins Slows
Distribution Kotzebue '
Chamber Certificates
SEATTLE, OP) — The Alaska
Steamship Co. finally has its 1952
certificate of membership in the
Arctic Circle Chamber of Com
merce. With the 1952 certificate
was a letter explaining why the
certificate is just now being de
livered.
The certificate, hand-lettered by
Wilbur Walluk and decorated with
a picture of a polar bear on a
cake of ice is not on paper, but
on seal skin.
The Arctic Circle Chamber of
Commerce, which is at Kotzebue,
is believed to be the only cham
ber in America which used seal
skins for its certificates, and this
gives the organization a problem
all its own.
A letter accompanying the 1952
certificate and signed by Alice C.
Connolly, treasurer, explained:
“I am sorry we were so slow
in sending this to you. We had
some difficulty in obtaining the
necessary skins.”

000 deaths a year in the United
States.

Parolee Involved
In $25,000 Robbery,
Clues Indicate
KETCHIKAN, UP) — U.S. Com
missioner Kathryn Davenport
Monday bound James E. Duncan,
New Jersey state prison parolee,
over to a federal court jury in
connection with a $25,000 robbery.
During a two-hour preliminary
hearing in Commissioner Daven
port’s chambers, Deputy Marshal
Fred Bryant testified paint parti
cles from Josephine Hill’s side
walk were found on Duncan’s
shoes and on both front mats of
his car.
Bryant said the indications were
that two persons were involved in
the robbery of $25,000 from a
cedar chest in Mrs. Hill’s bedroom
January 1. Mrs. Hill said she had
kept approximately the same
amount of money in the chest the
past 20 years.
Duncan, paroled from the New
Jersey prison in 1946 after serving
12 years of a life sentence, named
a local bartender as having knowl
edge of the money when he was
first questioned, Bryant testified,
adding that in doing so Duncan
revealed his knowledge of the
robbery.
