The Nome nugget., 1939-04-17
A SUGGESTION FOR ADDITIONAL FIRE PROTECTION-NOME

Three separate fires this winter have caused the lives of three individual persons to be snufed out and their cabins burned to the ground The fires in remote parts of the city not of the three being less than half mile or more from the fire department station
 We do not intend or advocate blaming the fire de- partment anyone in connection with the department The only reason this editorial is being printed is to encourage and advocate for fire prevention meth odS and in doing are going to suggest that an all-nght telephone service would assist In many ways to check and help prevent disastrous fires and who knows but what may be the of saving others from being burned to death
 We are all aware that added fire protection expense and somebody must pay the costs. It has been suggested time and again that another fireman be added to the department to patrol the city at time but this said to be too expensive
 The Nome Nuggets suggestion is simple means thus, for the Chamber of Commerce to appoint mttee to meet with like committee from the Council wait the local telephone officials and see what 1t would cost to have another operator-man woman to remain on duty from midnight to the following morn ing when the usual service begins This amount tained inquire to the feasibility of installing enough additional phones to make up the cost, thru the con- bined efforts of the membership of the Chamber and Council the businessmen the householders and others who at present do not have telephone Tn thelr DuSl- house home.
 If sufficient phones could be added to the ser vice in use it might be possible to request lower rental rate thus making it advantageous to the old phone customer as well as e new Pione cuotoil CTS On this basis if there is certain number ot new phones added to the list already in use the extra ser vice given would lessen the fire hazard tWofold by the use of the phone in calling the fire department to an alarm of fire and also for police protection.
 Several years ago those who had phones in their business houses decided among themselves to be as sessed an extra charge per month for few hours extra phone service earlier in the morning. this dld not add any new phones to the st and did not give the nec- essary assistance in time of need, because it lacks the principle of more phones, more service to the com rnunty and better fire prevention.

She predicts, also, that the fash ion scene for the coming season is one of color. But paradoxcally, black is lead-off favorite, not in dull or stuffy shades, but bright black" set off by accents of old gold or jeweled buttons and clips, and flashes of military red for trim. Then to give a change of pace to the forward America spirit of the collection, there are many plaids, lovely mixtures of color honoring England's Scottish queen.
 A smart color development for autumn is "tone on tone" In this, the blouse is lighter in shade than the skirt. Or the trimming of the neck, more becomingly to frame the face, is lighter in tone than the dress itself.
 Silhouettes recall Victorian eigh- ties. Wasp waists, broad shoulders, high chests and curving hips bring back the days when ''figger" WAS a 'figger." Circular, swing and gored skirts shaped like an um- brella, give a provocative, youthful flare to the collection. Bustle backs recalling grandmother's girlhood days are much in evidence along with the lovely fluid skirt lines which lead to modified "back in- terest''-a gathered softness or the flattery of flat bow. There is also the straighter skirt developed with side or box pleats.
 Wide shoulders continue for Fall. Necks, if high, are very high; If low, ''V' or heart-shaped. Two piece dresses, both actual and sim ulated are shown. often in contrast ing colors.
 Big news in fabrics is the finish of the crepes, giving soft, wooly feeling to the material On the con- trary, the wool materials are soft and fine as gossamer to the touch.

Two referees-Benny Bortnick and

at Turner's Arena during the feature

between Bibber Mccoy and Babe
Zaharias.
Bortnick, generally the arbiter of
feature engagements at Joe Turner's

week when these two first met here,
and Cyclone was added to the card
both to give the show more color
and relieve Bortnick of some of the
heavy work. Mccoy got bit wild
last Thursday and tossed Benny
from the ring. Benny returned a
minute later to give the decision to
Zaharias, following which the usual
minor riot took place.

had a similar engagement That
time the Bibber was disqualified for
slugging George Kondylis and sus-
pended by Promoter Turner for
