House Fire
Quickly Doused
A fire starting in the bath
room at the Harry Kellar resi
dence, one of Kraft’s houses be
hind the Hank of Kodiak, was
extinguished Easter morning by
Stanley Nelson, a neighbor
The fire was discovered by
Joyce Bubendorf, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Bubendorf,
who was returning from Sunday
school. The fire evidently start
ed in a wastebasket and then
caught the curtains on fire and
Mr, Nelson got it out with
chemicals. Mrs. Nelson ran to
the deputy U. S. Marshal's office
(her legs hurt the next day) and
turned in the alarm and both
fire trucks responded.
There was some confusion as
to where the fire was at the
sounding of the siren because a
large billow of smoke was seen
from Johnson’s island, where
grass was being burned.
The only damage was to the
curtains and wall of (he bath
room. The Kellar’s had left
home shortly before the fire was
discovered.

•‘Youi letter reached me in
Guam, where I am staying tem
porarily. Not long ago I was in
the Philippines and I picked up
some Japanese invasion money
and am enclosing a ten peso bill
of that currency. The Jap who
formerly had it won’t need it
any more where he is now.
“I am not at liberty to give
you any military news of the
Tenth Army, bur hope that the
time will not be far distant when
you can hear reports of our act
ivities.”
If you have bought your ice
pool tickets, this information
still isn’t too late. You have uu
til midnight tonight to buy and
deposit your stubs and now when
we tell you the ice is 30 inches
thick in the Nenana maybe
you’ll want to make another

from Mrs. J. Hersey, secretary

[greatest thickness in March, and
that thickness is the greatest for
