Chena Ice Is Out -
Nenana Breakup
Expected Daily
FAIRBANKS, UP) — The Chena
River ice is out.
It moved out at 4:49 p.m. Fri
day, bringing winnings of $8,469.29
to M. E. Reed of Fairbanks, who
guessed the Chena ice would move
at 4:47. His was the closest guess
and none of the more than 10,GOO
guesses hit it on the nose.
The ice on the Chena usually
goes out from one week to ten
days before the Nenana ice
breakup.
Scores of Fairbanks residents
gathered along the Chena to wit
ness the climax. The Chena flows
through the heart of Fairbanks.
Breakup of the ice at Nenana
on the Tanana River is still to
come, and many believe it may
be only a day or two away.
‘Law Day’ Observance
Stresses Contrast To
Russian Rule By Force
An impressive ceremony was
held last Friday afternoon at the
Court Room of the Federal Buil
ding, with Judge Walter Hodge
presiding.
The ceremony was for Law Day,
and Judge Hodge made a compar
| ison betweeri this ceremony to
recognize democratic justice and
the celebration on the same day
in Russia, which is a vast* display
of military power and fear. He ex
plained how the courts of America
are for the benefit of all.
Every American takes part in
our courts of justice, one of the
speakers stated, by serving on
juries, giving evidence at trials,
and by teaching the youth to re
spect law and order!
Special music during the cere
mony was presented by a sextette
of the Nome School Band, and
Carrie McLain as vocalist.
Members of the C.A.A. pre
sented the colors.
