SuIf Water Line Could Lower Fire Insurance Rate

Ray Lee, Union representative to the Chamber of Commerce and member of the fire depart ment, told the Chamber of Com merce meeting Tuesday that an extension, of the salt water main along Fourth Avenue to Monroe Street could have the effect of reducing insurance rates in Sew ard.
 Word has been received, he said, to the effect that if the Pa cific Fire Underwriters Associ- ation will make another survey of the town and find that fire fighting and protection equip ment have been increased enough to reduce the rating from it's present 4 and 5 by two points, Stateside companies will reduce the rates here.
 Extension of the line, which Lee advocated last year, would help materially in gaining re- duced rates, he stated.
 MT. Lee also brought up the matter of ownership of the La goon and highway crossing. He learned in the Land Office, Lee said, that the lagoon, being classified as tidelands, is not ad- ministered by the Land Office and remains government prop erty Although the road across this body of water was filled and constructed by the city it did not become city property. This be- ing the case, Mir. Lee suggests that steps be taken to include paving of this approximate half mile in government appropria- tions or secure definite settle ment of ownership.
 A motion was passed by the Chamber of Commerce to begin investigation of the situation.

SCHOOL LAND OWNERSHIP NOT SETTLED

Settlement of ownership of the proposed site of the new high school is still pending. The city clerk stated today, however, that steps are being taken in accordance with a recommenda- tion received from the Bureau of Land Management to secure final settlement.
 The question was brought up in Chamber of Commerce meet ing this week about the land problem. Members were inform ed that it seems probable that Alaska Public Works authorities can bring about satisfactory agreement with the government if other efforts are too long de- layed. Patents are held by the city on both tracts concerned, but reversal clause is involved that would cause the park land to revert to the Land Office if used for other than park pur- poses. This tract is needed in addition to the school land for the new school building
 The matter of public election to vacate streets and alleys in the school plot was also discuss ed and will be brought to the at tention of city officials. These streets have never been opened but are shown on the city plat and have been dedicated as streets; consequently they can be vacated only by election.

Jesse Lee News
By Tommy Dillard

Que to early publication of the Christmas issue, this was received too late for publication last Week)
 If possible, this week has been even more hectic than last, with getting things ready for the trip to Anchorage being topmost on most lists. Last minute Christ mas shopping, wrapping and dis trlbuting: unWrapping presents containing new clothes for the holidays to be spent with our neighborS ito the North;' put ting up Christmas trees, and all the final preparations for any home with children. Altogether 1 have counted 23 separate dec 'orated Christmas trees.
 Only one calamity is report ed, and it not too serious. The older girls carefully decorated tree decided to lie down on its ornaments one night, but with a little help, and a persuasive support at it's base, it was re- stored to order and it's place in the window.
 The tree in the dining hall and the other gay decorations, were put up this week by members of the various dorms. When everyone walked into supper the night before Christmas eve, no lights were on in the room ex- cept those on the giant tree, making a beautiful atmosphere, just crispy with spirit v
 Joe, from the San, spent all of that same evening giving hair cuts to the boys. They really ap- preciated his skilled efforts-aS did Mir. Lee and the two house. mothers who have been doubling as barberS.
 Half of the older girls have been practicing with the Junior Choir, which has been newly formed at the Methodist Church, for the Candlelight Service on Christmas eve.
 Fifteen of the younger chil- dren, who have been practicing hymns and carols with. Mrs. Boehm, sang at midweek vespers in the chapel. They looked very sweet and Christmasy in their white robes. Mrs. Horton's piano pupils continued the program with carols, followed by short message and singing of carols by everyone.
 The staff and children would like to say "thank you" to the many individuals, business con cerns, and groups who have add ed so much to our holiday happi- ness. May the joyous spirit of Christmas be truly with each one.

 Following the 10-Week "boot camp" as recruit training is commonly called, the Marine is then transferred to Camp Pen dleton, California, or 10 q serv- ice battalion to await further transfer to one of the many Ma rine Corps posts and stations where he will receive special training.
 These schools include avia- tion mechanics, airman's school, administration, motor transport, photography, quartermaSter and supply, cooks and bakers and others.
 At Camp Pcndleton the Ma rine receives further training in the use. of his 80 caliber Garand rifle, the .45 caliber pistol and the carbine and browning auto matic rifle. He will also receive further training in the use aid employment of light and heavy machine guns, 60 and 81 nm. mortars, flame throWers and other creWserved weapons.
