Emergency Numbers
Persons having telephones will
find enclosed in their December
statements a red sticker which is
to be mounted on all telephones
with the Fire and Police Depart
ment phone numbers. These have
been supplied by the city of Nome
to be used in emergencies.
In a recent fire, when a small
child was burned to death, there
was some delay due to the new
numbers not being familiar. The
phone company in making a sur
vey found out that very few
people knew the emergency num
bers, Every minute saved in call
ing the Fire Department means
less property loss and may some
time mean the saving of life also,
■ so everyone is urged to use the
stickers on their phones.
Santa Had a Busy Day
Santa Claus and his beautiful
team of huskies was busy all
afternoon on Christmas Day

adults, many of whom had never
had a dog sled ride.
The rides were so popular that
consideration is being given to
making this an annual part of
Nome’s Christmas, so people can
plan for the ride and be ready
with

Santa Claus
The Navy Communications Sta
tion at Kodiak, both officers and
other members of the organiza
tion, played Santa Claus to needy
families in Nome yesterday.
Headed by the Commanding
Officer of the group from Kodiak,
Lt. C. E. Loomis, and with the
assistance of the US. Coast
Guard Air Detachment who sup
plied the transportation through
cooperation of Commander Chet
Richmond, these Santa helpers
tried to arrive on Christmas Day.
Since they were unable to come
on Christmas Day they decided
to come the day after Christmas
and give toys and clothing to
families that needed extra help.
Distribution was made at the
ANG Armory under the super
ed by Mr. and Mrs. Roy Conklin.
In addition to the clothing and
toys, about $150 was given to be
used for some worthwhile proj
ect. After consultation here, it
was announced that the money
would be put in the ANG public
address system fund which will
serve the entire community in
its civic gatherings. With this
contribution there will be enough
in the fund to purchase the
equipment immediately.
