Igloo Constructed By
Fairbanks Food Market
FAIRBANKS, (A*) — Many resi
dents of this interior Alaskan
city saw their first igloo today.
The ice house, built with 140
specially made blocks, is part of
a market’s promotion of its frozen
food sales. Set up in the store’s
parking lot, the sales are handled
by a parka-clad salesgirl in the
30-degrees-below zero weather.
Purchases can be transported by
a dog sled and team.
Blocks for the igloo had to be
specially made because snow here
is too soft for igloos.

Loses In Court Battle
| SEATTLE, [ff\ — C. W. Liston
stuck his neck out yesterday and
| held it there while a city bus
| closed its doors on the neck three j
' times. It was all in the line of j
duty.
An assistant in the city claims '
department, Liston was trying to I
prove to an awestruck jury that |
lined the sidewalk that having a |
bus door shut on one’s neck didn’t
really hurt at all.
The jury didn’t believe him,
and awarded Mrs. Mirdza Toland,
who had testified it hurt her
plenty, $9,500.
They Don’t Want Voters
To Get Their Irish Up . . .
DETROIT, UP) — The Irish vote
is heavy in suburban Roseville.
With this in mind, Roseville’s
school board is going to change
the date of an important school
tax election.
“We can’t afford,” said board
attorney Raymond Cashen, “to get
the Irish mad at us.”
Cashen, himself an Irishman,
said the board inadvertently set
the election for March 17, St. Pat
rick’s Day, requiring the closing
of all bars under election law.

P. O. Dept. Advises
Spell Out
Alaska Fully
WASHINGTON, UP) — Take it
from the Post Office Department,
you can’t feasibly abbreviate
Alaska. So spell it out.
The Department’s official direc
tor of U. S. Post Offices for many
years has carried under Alaska
the notation: “Do not abbreviate.”
And officials said there is no plan
to depart from this now that the
Territory has become the 49th
State.
It is pointed out that Alabama
has preempted “Ala.” Post office
officials feel the possibilities
“Ask,” or “Aka” are not only
awkward, but are highly suscep
tible to confusion with ‘Ark.”
Alaska thus falls into a rather
exclusive list of states which are
never abbreviated by the Post
Office. The others are Idaho, Io
wa, Maine, Ohio and Utah. The
same is true of Guam. Hawaii
and Wake Island.
Post office officials disclaim any
formal function as the nation’s
official abbreviator. Its official
Director is issued primarily as a
guide to postal workers or mark
ing mail sacks or making up post
marks.
But schools, and the public gen
erally, follow the post office styles.
Actually, the department has
urged for a long time that all
states and territories be spelled
out fully in addressing mail, as
an aid to the sorting crews. How
ever, the department suggests that
if a state is to be abbreviated, the
post office style be followed.
The Interstate Commerce Com-1
mission has come up with a simple |
term to include Alaska in its or- I
ders, since Alaska came under its
jurisdiction .Tor the .first time on I
January 1.
Previously, ICC prescribed rates
or regulations ‘within the United
states.” It now says “Within the
Continental United States” which
takes in the 49th.
