tentive.
“But the session produced no
concrete action on any of the
issues which have split the house
into bitter factions.”

U. S. Army, Alaska, Gets
Highest Safety Award
HEADQUARTERS, U.S. ARMY
ALASKA — United States Army,
Alaska, this week received the
Army’s highest award for safety
in 1952. The certificate was pre
sented by Lt. Gen. Joseph H. At
kinson, commander-fn-chief, Alas
kan Command, to Maj. Gen. Wm.
M. Miley, Commanding General,
U.S. Army, Alaska.
In accepting the award on be
half of all Army troops in Alaska,
Gen. Miley said: “This award was
made possible only through the
efforts of the individual soldier—
the truck driver, the rifleman, the
clerk, and the cook.”
The award was based on the de
crease in accidents involving mili
tary personnel and civilian em
ployees over the 1950 and 1951
figures.
Fort Richardson personnel set
the pace for all Army installations
in Alaska, with men of the 68th
AAA Group taking top safety
honors among units stationed at
the Post.
The Army pointed out that its
personnel, with the exception of
those in Korea, were safer during
1952 than if they had been em
ployed in civilian industry. This
claim is based on statistics of the
National Safety Council. In in
dustry, Council data show, three
out of every 42 workers were in
jured. In the Army, excluding the
combat zone, only one Out of 42
was hurt in accidents. The Army
said its figures also show that
only half of the non-fatal injuries
and 20 per cent of the fatal in
juries occurred during on - duty
hours.

GAMBELL NEWS
By CLARENCE IRRIGOO
Since last Gam-bell News went
to press things have improved
from fair to good.
One polar bear was killed on
the 12th. Another bear was sight
ed at the same area. Many walrus
with babies are * killed in three
short days of hunting. Because
there is little or no ice in and
around Gambell, spring hunting
has not gone into full swing yet.
New arrival of a baby boy was
heard yesterday. Born to Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Oseuk of Gambell.
Birds and animals which mig
rate only in the summer months
up here are seen in the Bering
Sea near Gambell. We can rest
assured that cold months of the
winter are over for at least a
while.
Brush Fire Roars Out of
Control Sunday, Destroys
Homes South of Anchorage
ANCHORAGE, UP)—Department
of Forestry officials are trying to
determine the damage caused by
a wind-fanned brush fire which
roared out of control for 6 hours
Sunday in a homestead area south
of here.
The blaze, which broke out
shortly after noon Sunday, de
stroyed two homes, two trailer
homes and left 8 persons home
less. The fire was brought under
control about 6 p.m. Sunday.
Officials credited Joe Traversie
with probably saving many lives.
Traversie ran through the neigh
borhood of scattered homestead
ers to warn them of the flames.
One man loaded his family into
a truck and drove through a 50
foot wall of flame to safety.
Firefighters from the Army, Air
Force, Forestry Department, Spe
nard, the Alaska Railroad, and
Civil Defense units helped bring
the flames under control.
