Alaska Jail System Takes
Over Operation of Federal Jails
U. S. Marshal Ben Mozee re
turned from Anchorage where he
attended an orientation session of
U. S. marshals last week. The
meeting was attended by mar
shals from the four divisions and
was for the purpose of discussing
the newly - formed Alaska Jail
System.
Until July 1, 1953, the federal
jails have been under the super
vision of the U.S. marshals. In
the future the Alaska Jail System
will take over the operation and
the officials were briefed on the
new method of handling prisoners
under, the new system.
Maurice Kelliher is Chief Jailer
at the Nome. Federal jail.
CORONATION CAKE WILL BE
GIVEN AWAY AT FOOD SALE
There will be an especially
large and beautifully decorated
cake raffled on Friday, July 3, at
the U.S. Merc during the food sale
sponsored by the ladies of St.
Josephs Catholic parish. Also
available will be a wide variety
of salads and other foo’ds to fill
out Fourth of July picnic menus.
The cake is being made by Mrs.
Margaret Russell, whose hobby is
extra-fancy cake decorations. This
year’s cake, we are informed, will
be a replica of one of the crowns
used in the recent coronation and
will be studded with candy jewels
and various royal emblems.
