They deliver the lost from the mountain, And give the drowning man breath; They search for the child who has wandered, And rescue from burning death. In jackets with icicled fringes, They labor right through the Taku; In raging Southeasters or drought, They're a ready cmergency crew. P They stamp out the hillside fires, And clean up the wrecks at the turn; They raise sinking boats from the harbor, With no thought for the homage they earn: Three cheers for our volunteer firemen! They're speedy, efficient, superb. No unit that's organized better Than Juneau's, swing from the curb. They answer the calls of the city Without any self-seeking ends; . And now that “TWO-NINE” is calling, Let’s show how we prize our friends! —CAROL BEERY DAVIS TSRO ;1 Winter Carnival t the screen of the Capi rday When Universal's "8 | into town, Filmed in Tech- nicolor, with the intriguing lol‘:\lv obvious tn the title, stars Maria Montez, Jon Turhan Bey, and features an excel- lent supporting cast including Andy Newsy Noles From Skagway CORRESPONDENCE) SKAGWAY, Alas Feb, en’s Ball red Chamber of Commerce to elect a Queen to repr Skagway at the ) be held the lat- (SPECIAL by the ter part of this month in Whit horse was held at the B.P.O.E.
