 Besides water facilities the fire department has two 60-galon chemical extingushers one mounted on a truck and one sled for winter In addition there numerous hand operated pyrenes and soda extinguishers Such is lineup of the equipment not an imposing array, but back of this lies the real fire fighting strength-able and willing

Due to the ex- posture and cold which penetrat- ed his body, his lower limbs, while not entirely frozen, became paralyzed. The Pioneer Home which had been created by the first Alaska Legislature in 1913, was at this time open for the re- ception of patients, and MT. Olsen was sent there, that was in 1914. Ben has never recovered the use of his lower limbs, but wheels himself about in a chair. He is still hale and hearty and enjoys life. The story of his life is one

Saw you never in the twilight,
When the sun had left the skies,
Up in heaven the clear stars shining
Through the gloom. like silver eyes:
So, of old, the wise men, watching,
Saw a little stranger star,
And they knew the King was given
And they followed It froin afar.
Heard you never # the story
How they crossed !ha desert will,
Journeyed on, by plain and mountain
Till they found the HOLY Child:
How they opened all their treasurer
Kneeling to thai infant King;
Gave the gold and fragrant incense
Gave the myrrh in offering?
Know We not that !owly Baby
Was the bright AID morning Star"
He who came 70 lint the GenLilec
And the darkened isles afar?
And we, too, may SEEK Ills cradle;

625 toys and articles of food than
they had been before as the result OF

put on at the Stevenson theatre during

mission would be only by the bring
ing of a toy or some article of food
The gifts of the host of Riddles were
piled high in the lo~5y Of the theatre,
and r. B. Hester, manager, said there
were 625. That represented the au-
dience of children who came to the
show, and there were so many of
them that they filled the entire first
floor of the theatre.
The movie program consisted of q
full length Jane Withers picture, and
both a Fopeye and a Betty Boop pic
Jure.
1t was the greatest response ever
given on the part Of the children for
benefit performance of this kind
at Christmas. The Stevenson theatre
offers the program every year just be-
fore Christmas, but never before has
there been so great a turnout of kid
dies as there was today.
