Double Wedding i(
Performed In Koyuk
Covenant Church
(‘ November 30, 1954
Double wedding bells were
ringing today at the Koyuk Cove
nant Church. They were Mr. Rog
er Nassuk and Loleta Nelson, and
for Mr. Walter Kavairlook and
Irene Nagaruck, who were mar
ried at 3 p.m.
Rev. Mrs. Lilly Savok married
the above couples. Almost half of
the village of Koyuk attended the
wedding, including Koyuk school
teachers.
In the middle of the ceremony
•the lights went out and Lilly Sav
ok called for a flashlight. Some
one gave her one and the affair
continued. When the light came
on again everyone was smiling.
There was a strong south wind
blowing at this time—40 to 50
miles an hour. Snow was drifting.
But everyone was happy with
the wedding anyway.

25 Aircraft Destroyed
In Spectacular Fire at
Calgary City Airport
CALGARY, Alberta, UP)—An es
timated 25 aircraft, ranging in
size from a large DC-3 to a tiny
fleet Canuck and in price from
$3,00,000 to $2,000, were destroyed
Monday night in a spectacular fire
which raked a hangar at Calgary’s
municipal airport.
Damage was unofficially esti
mated at $2,500,000. No one was
injured although one airman col
lapsed from smoke poisoning.
The flames took 10 minutes to
rush through the one-story, 300
foot-square frame structure. It
took firemen two hours to bring
it under control but there was
little left then. Only one plane
was saved.
The fire was first noticed in the
rear of the hangar, built during
the second world war for $250,
000. There was speculation the
fire might have been caused by
an office heater.
70-Year-Old Butcher Chases
Robber Away With Knives
DENVER, Iff) — Louis Fiffles
reached for one of the knives on
his butcher’s block yesterday
when a masked holdup man com
manded him to “put up your
hands or I’ll shoot.”
“Go ahead,” said Fiffles, about
70, as he let fly the knife.
It missed. The bandit retreated
a step, still holding a pistol.
Fiffles flung a second knife. It
missed, too.
Fiffles reached for another
knife. The gunman was gone.
