CHRISTMASDAY BRINGS JOY TO
 ALL OF JUNEAU
No Accidents, No Arrests and Everybody Has
 Sumptuous Feast
AcRos.

Juneau enjoyed Merry Christ mas. And enjoyed it without mis- hap or trouble Hospital records do not note single entry because of either illness or accident and jail blotters disclose that there were no arrests.
 If any person lacked the tra- ditional Yuletide feast, the occur renee was in spite of efforts of service and fraternal organizations. Unemployed were the guests of the American Legion Post at turkey dinner in the afternoon and were entertained at the cinema show in the Capitol Theatre in the evening. Families unable to pro- vide themselves bounteously from their own resources were the re- cipients of baskets bulging with customary necessities and holiday luXuries for the table.
 Bounteous Repasts for Prisoners Prisoners in the city and the Federal jails were remembered by the authorities with sumptuous re- paStS and were treated literally to cigars, cigarettes and pipe to- bacco.
 Christmas here as elsewhere was celebrated chiefly at home fire sides.
 The business area vas quiet throughout the day. Hotel Hobbies, with their gaily decorated, bril- liantly lighted trees were almost deserted; but in the evening res- taurants filled with dinner patrons and streets were frequented by cheerful groups attracted by the atreS and the dance in Elks Hall.
 New Sleds Are Tried Out Throughout the afternoon and evening, sidehill thoroughfares re- served for coasting resounded with the shouts of children, many en- toying the use of sleds that had just been received in the morning.
 The weather was ideal. There was good covering of snow Tenn peratures were slightly below freez- ing-the most pleasant, seasonal weather that the city has enjoyed in many Christmas days.
 The Moose Orchestra was en- larged with the addition of Mrs. George Maxi and her accordion. She also officiated at the piano the other instrument being used mostly in the Scandinavian -Ameri- can dances, and scored a big hit. The Paps will give a New Years Dance at Moose hall next Friday night, and promise the same high class music.

 The ship, dressed for the occa- sion by her company, presents a fine spectacle from both Juneau and Douglas sides of the Channel The decorations will be kept in place and lighted every night for the rest of Christmas week

ALL YULETlDE. MAIL SORTED BY CHRISTMAS EVE
Post Office Clerks Phone Many Persons to Call
 for Packages

All mall received in Juneau be- fore Christmas day was distributed and ready for delivery before the close of business Christmas eve The entire force in the postoffice worked all of Wednesday night as well as all of Thursday.
 Persons who failed to receive their Christmas letter or package mail must blame themselves for not having called for it.
 "The office force worked untiredly to get out the Yuletide mail" said Postmistress Josephine Spickett. Tn many instances, the clerks telephoned persons to come for their packages.
 The public co-operated in every way. There was no impotence among the many who had to stand in the lines at mailing and delivery windows. We are all clear now and ready for the New Year, which I hope will be happy and prosperous for everybody

 Balmy breezes blew across the Prairie Provinces of Canada and it was too mild to make ice for hockey playing.
 There is no snow in the East and Middle West.
 The weather prediction for to- morrow is even warmer.
 Accidental deaths over Christmas numbered 197, according to reports up to noon today from nationwide points and these were mostly due to traffic accidents.
