master of ceremonies.

the direction of Leland Barber

sented a special number for the
occasion. The bandmaster also
presented a solo on the piano in
which he specializes.

Alska Flag Song by Maxine Book,
which she graciously dedicated to
Carrie McLain who usually sings i
it for this pioneer event but who I
is hospitalized this season. Miss
Book is a nurse at the MMM Hos- j
pital who arrived recently.

trumpet, clarinet and drums,
called The Saints, made their first

posed of Leland Barber, Clifford
Steele, Ray Arnold, Rod Boucher,
and Devon Alexander.

Parka Pedestrians Beware!
CHICAGO, — Alaska has a
unique traffic problem — the par
ka pedestrian — the National
Safety Council reports. The par
ka pedestrian, a person wearing
the face-protecting parka, is mak
ing himself a major traffic hazard.
While protecting the wearer
from the cold, the parka also acts
like blinders, and makes the parka
pedestrian a walking duck for
the driver, whose vision also is
limited, perhaps by ice fog.
