Four Australian Children Send Pound
Note to Eielson AFB Crash Relief Fund
FAIRBANKS, (J*)—From “down^
under” four little citizens of Tail
em Bend have said “thank you”
from the buttom of their hearts_
and their pocketbooks.
The heartwarming expression
came in the form of an Australian
pound note—worth about $2.25. It
was sent to a relief fund for sur
vivors of a jet plane crash into a
group of residences at Eielson Air
Force Base, Nov. 29.
A scrawled message that came
with it said the donors were
Jane, 5, Glorida, 8, Steve, 9, and
Ronald Bannon, 13, of Tailem
Bend, South Australia. And Steve
had scrawled this explanation:
“A long time ago when Ron
was a little boy we had an aire
dale dog named Rastas who used
to go to the American Army camp
that was stationed here and go to
the cook house and borrow meat
that was never returned.

American troops who used to
stop at Tailem Bend for a feed
were always kind to Rastas and
to our dad who had to work in
the railway and could not buy
cigarettes which were rationed
then. But your troops gave him
some. So us children feel that
now your people are in trouble
we might help.”
They had read about the tra
gedy which claimed 14 lives at
Eielson in their home town news
paper.
The pound note is in the cus
tody of Col. Gaillard Peck, deputy
commander of the air base, who
said:
“We won’t convert this to Am
erican money. We would rather
keep this note as it is to show
a real gift of friendship. We
thank them sincerely.
Then, he added with just a
touch of moisture in his eye:
“Possibly the four young Aus
tralians might be getting a Christ
mas gift from Eielson Air Force
Base.”

Reservations In
Advance Advised
For States Calls
The cooperation of Alaskans
who are planning holiday season
telephone calls to the States was
requested today by Col. M. R. Ku
nitz, commanding officer of the
Alaska Communications System.
Col. Kunitz stated that an ad
vance call reservation is the best
assurance that the call will be
completed during this period when
the tremendous volume of re
quests often exceeds the available
facilities and may result in disap
pointments to those who fail to
make reservations in advance.
Patrons are requested to con
tact the local ACS office at the
earliest possible date for reserva
tions. Even with the filing of an
advance reservation, patrons are
cautioned that no positive assur
ance can be given that their calls
will be promptly handled at the
reserved time, due to the extreme
ly heavily loaded circuit condi
tions that may exist throughout
the U.S. during the holiday season.
Telegraph patrons may file holi
day telegrams early for Christmas
or New Year’s Day delivery. Sug
gested greeting texts are available
at the local ACS office.
The officer in charge of the
Nome ACS station states that
there are several time reservations
still available, and he urges any
one planning to call Outside to
make their advance reservation as
soon as possible.
