Two basketball games are to;

scoring Polar Trtornets.

the odd game. So basketball fans
are advised that two fast action- ,
packed games are in store—and I
here also is a chance to see the!
new score board in operation.
Fire Inspection Pays Off
There has been such a marked
decrease in the number of smoke
stack fires since the inspection
last fall by the City Fire Depart
ment, that Fire Chief Carl Webb
(urges home owners to keep up
the good record by checking the
soot traps on oil-burning stoves
and to tap all horizontal pipes
(for accumulation of soot.
Webb declared that it should
not be necessary for another sur
vey this winter if home owners
would assume this responsibility
•for their own protection.

guilty in the U.S. Commissioner’s
Court at Nome to charges of mak
ing false statements to obtain un

30 days with sentence to be sus

Discounts Reports
Of Delinquency
At Mt. Edgecumbe
Fred Geeslin, temporary direc
tor of Alaska Native Service
work here, until a permanent ap
pointment is made to replace Jack
Jenkins, arrived from Juneau on
Wednesday. Jenkins died sudden
ly in Anchorage last month.
Mr. Geeslin is very concerned
over the publicity recently given
to reports of juvenile delinquen
cy at the Mt. Edgecumbe School.
Mr. Geeslin has been at Mt. Edge
cumbe for the A.N.S. for eight
years, from 1947 until July of
last year.
He declared that the native stu
dents at Mt. Edgecumbe School
generally maintained good be
havior and were good students.
He said that “We are proud, end
all Alaska should be proud of
the record of these students.”
He said he feels that there is
no reason for any undue concern
over the reports as there is bound
to be a little trouble now and
then and that this should- not be
construed as “juvenile* delin
quency."
•Mr. Geeslin said that over 50
per cent of the Mt. Edgecumbe
graduates are able to get work
immediately and that 19 of the
last graduating class went on to
take higher learning.
