SAFETY . . .
For Heaven’s Sake,
During The Holidays
SEATTLE, Wash. — Safety dur
ing the Christmas and New Year
holidays was the basis of an appeal
today by officials of the U. S.
Department of Labor.
In the case of both holidays,
with office and house parties in
prospect in many areas, regional
officials of the Department of
fered the oft-repeated admonition
that “gasoline and alcohol don’t
mix.”
“Happiness is not a station you
arrive at, but rather a manner
of traveling—so be sure you travel
the safe road, and if in doubt as
to your condition to drive take a
cab or some other means of trans
portation,” said Wilfrid Bryce,
district safety consultant of the
Department’s Bureau of Labor
Standards.
“The practice of safety at home
and on the job would constitute
a good New Year's resolution,”
the federal official suggested.
Bryce pointed out it is wise
to keep safety in mind in the
course of Christmas shopping.
“For example,” he said, “inquire
about safety guards and the like
when purchasing various power
tools.” It is also advisable, he
said, to install some type of
tamper-proof lock on switches
controlling tools of tjiis type
against the possibility of children
turning them on.
The safety supervisor also re
minded the public to remove
Christmas trees from their homes
before the trees become dry and
-brittle. “Think of the fire hazard
when you watch them literally
explode in the furnace,” he said.
Father Nevue reported that
Elizabeth Albert formerly of
Nome has married and is now
Mrs. Roy Shodin of Moose Pass.
Village of Koyuk to Hold
Christmas Services In
Newly Completed Church
The village of Koyuk will have
a real Christmas rejoicing as they
hold services in the newly com
pleted church which they have
built of local material. With the
aid of a chain saw the logs were
cut and erected under the experi
enced hands of Spencer Strand.
Belfry and steeple were designed
in modern fashion made in sec
tions here and taken by plane
to the village. The interior has
a natural pine finish.
Under the leadership of Rev.
and Mrs. Edmond Smagge the
village looks forward to this
Christmas not only because of
their new church but also because
Harold Dimmick is moving his
reindeer herd from Deering and
the village will have a small in
dustry developing there.
TELLER HAS A
NEW CATHOLIC CHAPEL
Christmas will mark a great
day in Teller for the Catholic
people there. They will be cele
brating the birth of Jesus Christ
in their new chapel.
With the generous co-operation
of parishioners the Chapel was
built this past year and is suffi
ciently completed to hold services.
The first midnight High Mass
ever to be held in Teller will be
celebrated with Father Nevue
participating. A choir has been

ticing for the occassion.

backward nations.
