VATICAN WING COLUIPSE j
RESULTS IN 3 DEdTHS
VATICAN CITY, Dec. 23. (£>)—
One of the wings or halls of the
350-year-old Vatican here Tuesday
collapsed and one of the priest li
brarians is known to have been
| killed when the roof came down
; on him.
It is also thought that four
| others might have perished when
i the hall collapsed and Vatican
! guards are searching the ruins in
i an effort to locate them if this is
Uo. The hall contained many his
j torical manuscripts.
Fire almost broke out when the
! building caved in but through
i quick action a conflagration was
j averted.
A later report said that the
j guards had succeeded in removing
| the bodies of an attorney and two j
' workmen from the debris.

30 NEK SUBSCRIBERS
IN ONE ME IN LETTED
Being quite modest by nature,
(cough! cough!) The Gateway is
more or less relunctant—hesitant
is the word—in recounting what
happened yesterday but, as the
small boy said to—well that is
another story—but it does pay to
advertise so here goes.
An out-of-town subscriber to
The Gateway (sotto voice;the big
gest and best paper in Seward)
wrote us he was so pleased with the
lG-page Weekly Gateway, especial
ly the editorial column, that he
was enclosing a list of friends to
whom he wanted the paper sent, j
Apparently it is his Xmas gift to j
them. His check was such to us.
How many were there?
Exactly 30, Doris, believe it or
not, we got the check. The ad
dresses, 30 in one envelop, mind
you, range from Dixon Entrance
to the barren, wind-swept tuntras
of Candle. About half were in the
Fairbanks district.
In appreciation all The Gate
way staff can say is that friend
subscriber displayed most excel
lent judgement.
PROMINENT VISITOR
Oscar Anderson of Anchorage,
nresident of the Evan Jones Coal
Company, arrived in Seward last
