Training Program
For Alaska Vol.
And Paid Firemen
Territorial Fire Marshal Hilton
E. Dearinger, announced that his
office, in cooperation with the
Alaska Department of Education,
is sponsoring a training program
for all Volunteer and Paid Fire
Departments in Alaska. John Mar
vik, Nome fire chief, will be at
tending.
Because of the limited time, the
training specialists are available,
and in an effort to reach the
greatest number of Volunteer and
Regular Firemen, it was decided
to offer a four-day program at
both Anchorage and Fairbanks
and to invite all Fire Department
delegates to come to either city,
if possible, to participate. The
training team will be in Anchorage
September 22 through 25, and
they' will be in Fairbanks Sep
tember 27 through 30.
An arson school will be held in
Ketchikan and Juneau the last
week in October.
Training Specialists are from
the Washington State Fire School
and the Arson instructors are
from the National Board of Fire
Underwriters and the Alaska Fire
Marshal’s Office.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
We are now in the season of the
autumnal equinox, a time often j
accompanied by equinoxial
storms. The equinoxes are the
two opposite points of the celes
tial sphere where the ecliptic
crosses the celestial equator.
They are so named because days
and nights are said to be equal
in length when the sun arrive at
the equinox, although atmospher
ic refraction makes the duration
of sunlight slightly longer on this
occasion.
From March 21st'to September
21st the days at Nome are longer
than any place to the south of us.
T rom Sept. 21st to March 21st our
days “will be shorter than any
region south of us.
Everyone knows today that the
f arth revolves around the sun. We
1 am this fact at an early age
f -'d accept it. The sun is about
93 million miles away, so the
earth is speeding along at the
average rate of 18Vfe miles a
second.
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Lyle, who
have been visiting with Mrs. Em
ma Lyle and friends of forty
years ago, leave today for their
home in San Bernardino, Calif.
They plan to visit other former
Nomeites as they drive down the
West Coast.
