Congratulations to Fairbanks and Captain A ., Lathrop, owner of Radio Station KFAR upon the inauguration of broadcasting from Interior Alaska.
 The only fly in the ointment for Nomeites last Sunday night was that they couldn't hear the dedicatory program when KFAR went on the air at 6 pm Nome time. However we're hoping to KFAR better as the fall and win ter condition permit. KFAR transmits on frequency of 610 kilocycles, with daily schedules from 8 am to pm and 5 pm to midnight and on Sundays 2 pm to 10 pm Fairbanks time.
 The Fairbanks News-Miner, also a deep interest of Gap" Lathrop published a special KFAR Edition last Sunday tell ing all about his new station and those who will make it hum dur inf the coming winter.
 Long a dream of Capt. Lath- rop's, radio broadcasting from Fairbanks and Interior Alaska, has at last become an actuality. AS the waves are ironed out we hope to see KFAiR expanding to full-time broadcasting and with good reception results in this section.

Christmas Celebration
Dates Back TO 354 A.D.,
Roman Records Show

The earliest celebration of the
birth of Christ, December Is of each
year, took place in the Fourth cen
tury, and the custom spread from
the western to the eastern church.
Before that date the commemora-
ton of Christ's nativity and baptism
took place January 6.
First mention Of Christmas is
found in a Roman document known
as the "Philocalian calendar" in
the year 354, and the first English
celebration of the festival was in
598, when St. Augustine baptized TO-
900 converts.
In SGT, the Council of Tours,
France, declared 12-day festival
from Christmas to Epiphany, and
later, from 991 to 1016, the laws Of
Ethelred ordained that all strife
should cease at Christmas. In Ger
many, Christmas was established in
813 by the Synod Of Mainz, and in
Norway by King Hakon the Good, in
$50.

American Turkey
Has Foreiqn Name

You'll eat your turkey and like it
this Christmas, but do you know
where this festive bird got its name?
The turkey is the only species OF
poultry native to this country. Its
name is attributed by some to its
call notes, "turk-turk-turk"; others
believe that its head ornaments, re-
sembling the fez worn by natives Of
Turkey, gave rise to its name.
Another explanation is seen in the
fact that the first turkeys from
America were sold in Spain, largely
by Hebrew merchants. Since the
bird was frequently confused with
the peacock, it is said that the He
brew traders called it 'tukki," their
name for the peacock. With the
widespread use of this name in
English, it easily became the pres
ent turkey"
