Xmas Activities At Solomon
Solomon, Alaska.

was enjoyed Dy tnlrteen families at little windy village of Solo, mon, Alaska over thirty miles off Nome. A pastor, Milton Adams, and Village Council made it pos sible for every one enjoy every day of the week. We didn't have no school this year, the school is close. And so, Santa get here, any way, even no school. Santa prom ised to return next year and wished that we stay good until he comes again.
 The Sunday School children gave a nice cheerful Christmas Eve program, Christ birth, came in ringing with joy to see such nice Sunday School children and gave each one of them a package of goodies from ours Covenant people. Teacher Maggie Curren Solomon choirs ended the program leaving all faces lit for the Christ man Day. Christmas gifts piled around the brightly decorated tree were distributed to the happy children.
 There were carols sung early morning by a happy group of young people on Christmas morn ing. At seven o'clock about one third of 70 people got up to wor- ship the Prince of Peace. Again at ten o'clock am. every soul able to walk was called to worship Hymns of great joy and the gospel according to second chapter of St. Luke were renewed. The choir voices sang "Tidings of Great Joy" and peace on earth. The voices blended in the new Coven- ant Church so we'll we would not have hesitated to sing rest of the world at Christmas. Two fine old women about 60 or 70 year old gave us a good parts, Glory to God in the Highest. Listeners said they ended too soon. Pastor and Sun day School teacher also sang with string band, after transl d Christmas songs.
 When the service ended the peo- pie spend few minutes greeting and wishing each other Merry Christmas and rushed to their homes to prepare themselves for the feast to come at four o'clock Big feast was given to everyone able to eat. Everybody invited. Ev- cry family brought something pre- pared to eat and shared it with the other folks The feast con- sisted of reindeer, berries prepared to suit an Eskimo's taste, pre- served fish and meat and white mans food, such as fruits, cakes, bread, butter, sugar, tea and cof- fee came in just right. Best part is Eskimo ice cream. Everybody had plenty to eat and left over, and evening service was held at seven o'clock.
 Gifts for every soul in Solomon were given out right after the service. We are wishing to serv- ices every evening up to New Year Eve.
 Now let me wish you blessed Christmas season and good New Year. May our wonderful Savior who came nineteen centuries ago guide you and your loved ones, as well as all of our people in Alas ka, according to His own perfect

 Bobby has been living on his homestead and having decided to complete his educa- tion, he entered school at Tasil1a and took up the work where he left off some yo ars ago.
 Alter a careful examination of the prem ises, the conclusion was drawn that Bobby had been chopp ing wood and either the axe handle caught the .22 revolver jerking it from the hol ster or it had fallen out as he stopped to pick up the wood. By some uHEnorn quirk the revolver was turned torard Bobby it fell and discharged, -c ras found about 75 yards from the wood pile. The accident is thought A5~ inaya oc ccurred the proceeding evening.

Stock Market Drifts
Irregu|ar|y Lower
In Quiet Dealings
By Victor Eubonk
Sfor Stof Corraspondenf

NEW YORK, Mar. 25.-A few
stocks put up mild show of re-
sistance in today's market, although
many leaders continued to slip on
dealings which remained among the
slowest of the past year.
Animation was lacking from the
start. Irregularly lower trends per-
sisted near the fourth hour. s.
A little bidding here and there
apparently was based on the idea
that the half-hearted selling of
Monday might indicate the list was
in a position to rally briskly if
the news warranted. Professionals
maintained a cautious attitude in
view Of public apathy and doubts
regarding taxes, foreign problems
and the course of business. Wage
price problems also were restrain
ing influence.
Ahead at one time or another were
Joy Mfg, General Motors, Mont
gomery Ward, Woolworth, Phelps
Dodge, American Smelling and
Eastman Kodak.
Inclined to limp were Bethlehem,
Chrysler, American Telephone,
Santa Fe, Great Northern Railway,
Southern Railway, Schenley, Good
rich, United States Rubber, Public
Service of New Jersey, American
Water Works, Dupont, Union Car
bide and Owens-Illinois. Numerous
pivotals were unchanged.
Bonds were spotty.
