CONGRESSIONAL " LIBRAR ¥ VASHINGTON, D. C VOL. LXXVIIL, NO. 11,936 Juneau Volunteer Fire Department Un ique One; Duties Are Many and Varied The Juneau Volunteer Fire De- partment has maintained one of the most efficient fire departments in the country for 66 years. The first fire department was organized in 1885 when Juneau was a rambling waterfront town with less than 500 " people. A hand-drawn water cart and bucket brigade were the oply protection against conflagration since there was no water system at that time. When a fire occurred a bell was rung and the entire com- munity turned out to combat the blaze. An old picture of that water cart bearing a sign, “You ring the bell, we'll do the rest” can be seen in the Thomas Hardware Co. store window. The display includes models of fire trucks of the 1900 era. These trucks, which are to| scale, and operate just like the real | trucks, even to extending the lad- | ders on the old style aerial, were made by the son of Fire Chief Mill. Several old pipes from “Betzy,” an old style and new style mask, the Scott-Air pak, a modern all around mask, several coils of hose, a 1952 model aerial truck, which should be the delight of every youngster, tirehats and the old bell which has been rung many times to announce the Annual Firemen’s Ball can also | be observed in the window. Grows in 1900 Speaking of 1900, it was recalled by the oldtimers in the department thet, in those days the department , consisted of two hand-drawn hose companies and one hook and ladder company. Stamina and fleetness of foot determined a member of the depgrtment, as it was often necessary for the men to pull the heavy hose carts a considerable dis- tance, sometimes reaching the fire} in a state of collapse. Practice runs . were frequent and the fastest men in Juneau were at a premium, since | the security of the community de- pended upon speed. The Gastineau Channel fire de- partments reached the height of their glory during the gold rush days. All activity stopped in those days when hose cart races were scheduled between the settlement’s fire departments. Months before the event the fire- men would be ir-training and would strip down to trunks and spike/ shoes for the final event. Those firemen not in the race wore full} dress uniferms and the hose carts were gaily decorated. Betting was| high and the resuits of the races often attained considerable fury. It was recalled that on. one Fourth of July event not only the three hose companies engaged in a free- for-all, but the spectators entered into the contest. | | Tactics Change With Autos The fire-fighting tactics of the Juneau Fire Department began to crange with the coming of the automobile, and in 1913 the first, truck, on which was mounted hose and chemical tanks, was purchased by the City of Juneau and in 1916 found a larger truck, equipped with pumper, giving the city considerably more protection. At the present time the Juneau Fire Department has two heavy duty trucks and one auxiliary truck (Betzy). These trucks are equipped with fairly modern equipment. However, since the City of Juneau TheWashington Merry - Go-Round (Copy:ight, 1951. by Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

Modern fire-fighting equipment often may be the means of saving the life of a little child or one of your family. The Volunteers give of their time and risk their lives. The citizens of Juneau can at least take an interest in their de- partment and urge and see that modern equipment becomes a part of those units which might be pressed into service to put out a fire in their own home. Activities Many, Varied The Juneau Fire Department finds its activities many and varied, and when there is serious trouble in the community they are always called to the scene. Many times in the past years they have been called to rescue mountain climbing parties stranded in the mountains around Juneau. First aid packs are always maintained at the fire hall They also make the ambulance runs with the city ambulance. These men leave their daily jobs to make the runs, asking no pay only doing their part towards their civic duty. Volunteer Organization The Juneau Fire Department is strictly a volunteer organization, tOrganizafion of Boy Scout Finance Campaign Begins Organization of workers for the 1951 Annual Boy Scout Finance campaign is well under way, ac- cording to A. B. Phillips, campaign chairman. The campaign is sched- uled to begin October 16 with a “kick-off” breakfast at the Baranof Hotel. Working with Phillips on the ex- ecutive committee for the Jumeau drive are: Charles Burdick, George Parks, Curtis Shattuck, George E. Cleveland, Wallis George, Tom Mor- gan, and Dr. J. O. Rude. The team captains who will spear- head the drive with the recruiting of 10 six-man teams include: Ray Bolton, Carl Rusher, Irvin Curtis, J. B. Durney, R. M. Scott, C. A. Carroll, Ted Oberman, Jack Pope- joy, Norman Sommers, and A. N. Eide. Team captains will complete the organization of their teams to- day and report their personnel to Phillips. Heading ' the drive as campaign workers in Federal and Territorial agencies are: Ralph Browne and W. A. Elkins, Federal Buildiag; Dr. C. E.

The spirit of the department has always been reflected in its out- standing leaders, and the record of the organization speaks for itself, Modern fireproof structures hayve not yet replaced the original frame buildings on the dock, waterfront and around town, created .d the city’s pioneer construction days. ‘The department has been fortunate, so far, in holding and restricting fires with a minimum of loss. Within the past few years several large fires which, if allowed to have gotten out of hand, would have large portions of Ju- neau’s business area. Legendary Institution The Juneau Fire Department is more, however, than just a group Io! firemen. It has become a legend and an institution with a long re- cord of achievement and activities devoted to community welfare and betterment. The Firemen's Club developed and owns the Juneau Ball Park and sponsors the Gastineau Channel Baseball League. ‘There is a Community Open House each year during which all citizens are invited to visit the fire house.

Senate passage by a voice vote sent the measure on to President Truman. The House approved it lasi week. The amount is about one billion dollars below the appropriation re- quested by Mr. Truman. Just before the vote, Senator Lodge (R-Mass) told iue Senate the bill “will really do things” for American military strength. The Senate also is to take up a $1,042,867,887 bill carrying funds for State, Commerce and Justice De- partments which has been Worked out in conference. The House ap- proved this yesterday. Approval of these two bills will leave only four of the 13 major money measures for the current fiscal year in the way of adjourn- ment of Congress. Native Sgrvite Not Seriously Affecled By Less Funds: Wade Because of reductions in appropri- ations, many of the area offices of the Bureau of Indian Affairs have been required to consolidate their field operations, Hugh J. Wade, area director of the Alaska Native Service said today. He returned Monday from Wash- ington, D.C., where he attended the annual meeting of the bureau's area directors. . The area office of the Alaska Native Service has not been seri- ously affected, he said, but it will be impossible to expand the present programs. “In keeping with the general ad- ministrative policy of curtailment in construction,” Wade said, “there will be very little new construction carried on by the service in Al- aska this fiscal year. “The Bethel hospital will be built and the new Anchorage hospital will be completed. Two new schools will ke constructed in villages in the Interior where school facilities are badly needed,” he said. ®© ® 0o 0 0 0 0 00 DUCK HUNTING HOURS October 13 Starts — 6:59 a.m., Ends — 4:59 p.m. o 0’00 00 0 00 “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” JUNEAU, ALASKA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1951 Coundl Reduces Mill Levy The Juneau city council last night approved unanimously the proposed budget for the coming fis- cal year which cut the mill levy on assessed real and personal pro- perty from 20 to 19 mills, One councilman, Bert McDowell, said he believed the council had done a thing unprecedented in re- cent American history—in cutting ia tax. The tax levy of 19 mills would produce a revenue of $298,788.50 on real and personal property assessed at $15,726,237.25. Subport Parking Denied A letter to the council from Al- aska headquarters of the Unifd States Army in Seattle denied ‘the city the privilege of using the sub- port area for general vehicle park- ing. ) The commanding officer, Major General J. W. Cunningham, said the plan would be too involved and that the request of the council would have to be denied because of the need of the space by the Territorial National Guard. Council members were disgrunt- led at the outcome of this plan, be- cause, they say, the space is not being used, and because the space is badly needed to help solve Ju- neau’s parking problem. Late Closing Hours Two letters were read protesting the proposed extension of closing hours for 'establishments . serving said there are many protesting let- ters of this kind on file, A petition has been circulated by bar owners asking that late closing hours be allowed by the city. Some council members assert that some | of the bar owners, themselves, are not in favor of the law being changed. - The question was carried over to allow further discussion. It was said that a special hearing would probably be called before a decision was made. Salaries Increased The council was in favor of in- creasing the salaries of most city | employees. A changed- ordinance to allow increases generally up to 10 percent was passed on the first| reading. Most offices would be affected, although the salary of councilmen and several others would remain the | same. Common labor is raised from $1.62% an hour to $1.80, truck driv- | ers from $1.82 to $2, and mechanics | and street-grader men from $2.07 tol $2.25. | The mayor said this would in most | cases cover the past year’s cost-of- living jumps, and at the same time comply with wage stabilization laws. Job Applications There were only a few new ap- plicants for city jobs. Most of the present employees are re-applying. Consideration of the applications was held over in order to weigh| qualifications. Present emplcyees were all asked to remain on their| jobs with the understanding that proposed salary increases would go; into effect Nov. 1. The harbor ordinance passed its second reading. This establishes the | appointment of the harbormester | and regulates the small boat harbor. The ordinance to have the city| third Thursday of each week, passed | on the first reading. This would change the meeting time to 7:30 p.am. instead of 8. Approved New Float | Approved was the request by the Fish and Wildlife Service to build a small float for use during the winter months .near the old grid- iron on the Tenth Street side of | the boat harbor, This is to be done solely at the expense of Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice. Fish and Wildlife will only use the float during the coldest winter months, and provision is be- ing made for use of the float dur- ing other months by small boats. The old gridiron, now condemned, will be removed. Liability Insurance ‘The Juneau Insurance yAgency was the low bidder to furnish pub- lic liability and property damage $1630.82.

Astonished airmen from another plane found the 6-month-old boy strapped inside a fur pouch under the parka of his dead Eskimo mother. The tot, although injured, survived the crash that hurled Mrs. Martha Ruth Simmons 90 feet from the crashed plane, to her death on the ice. Another victim of the crash was the pilot, George Harrington, from Marblehead Lake, Mass. L. B. Willjams of the government’s Alaska Native Service and at first believed to have been a passenger on the plane, was located last night in Meade River village. He had not been a passenger when the craft| took off on its flight near Point Barrow, northernmost tip of North America. Finding of Willlams canceled plans for further search for him at the spot where the single en- giné Wien-Alaska Airlines plane crashed on a frozen lagoon. “We found the plane broken into pieces and scattered all over the ice,” said Pilot William English, “We found the pilot’s body about 100 feet from the fuselage. Then we went over to where the mother was ly- ing. 8he was dead, too. Then sud- denly we heard a baby crying some- where inside her clothing. We open- ed the hood of the fur compartment on her back and discovered the in- fant.” English and Fess (Casey) Stengl flew the baby to the hospital at Point Barrow. It was reported to have jnternal injuries. The other airmen believed the plané crashed onto the ice during a snow flurry. Jionors. Mavor. Waine Hendrickson | - 4% Is Made (laim Made UN Plane Attacked Neutrality Zone of Kaesong MUNSAN, Korea, Oct. 12—#— The Reds summoned Allied liaison officers to Kaesong tonight to in- vestigate new neutrality violation charges. The call came as the Reds and Allies appeared near agreement on | reopening truce talks at a new site, Panmunjom, six air miles south- east of Kaesong. The Reds charged that a United Nations plane attacked the Kae- song neutral zone at 5:35 pm. — only an hour and a half after the truce meeting ended at Panmun- jom, They made the charge over the radio-telephone circuit linking the U.N. advance peace camp at Mun- san with Kaesong, original site of truce talks which the Reds broke off Aug. 23 because of an asserted Allied plane attack. Air Force Col. Don C. Darrow and Army Lt. Col.*Norman B. Ed- wards left the Alliled peace camp by jeep at 8 p.m., for Kaesong. Simultaneously, a U.N. spokesman id, the U.S. Air Force began king to see if any Allied«plane could have been in the area. Charges of violations of the Kae- sonz neutral zone were the main won for moving the talks. The size of the protected area to be maintained around Kaesong in thé future appeared today to be a major stumbling block in the path of resuming armistice nego- tiations, The new Red charge — which could disrupt preparations for re- newing negotiations — was tele- phoned at 7 pm. The Reds gave e time, place, extent of damage and nature of the asserted attack. The UN. command did not an- nounce whether it was supposed to have been bombing, machinegun- ning or fire bombing. FURTHER NOTE ON CHARGES MUNSAN, Korea, Saturday—®— Hopes of resuming the Korean truce talks were shaken today by a Com- munist charge that three American planes strafed both the Kaesong bids on the same basis.

Truman Asks WSB To Seftle Plane Plant Strikes WASHINGTON, Oct. 12—(®—Pre- sident Truman has asked the Wage Stabilization Board to try. to .settle, two defense plant strikes which | have halted production of jet en- gines and of transport planes used for evacuation of wounded from Korea. The plants involved are the Wright Aeronautical Corp, at Woodridge, N. J., which makes jet engines, and the Douglas Aircraft Co., at Long Beach, Calif., producer of the C-124 Globemaster Trans- por. One of the Globemasters re- cently evacuated 127 Korean casu- alties in a single flight. In turning the disputes over to | the wage board Mr. Truman said Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wil- son has reported that the strikes are having a serious effect on the mobilization program. Members of the CIO United Auto Workers have been on strike at the ‘Woodridge plant since Sept. 26 and at Long Beach since Sept. 5. Mr. Truman said in a letter to | Nat Feinsinger, - chairman of the wage board, in directing him to attempt settlement of the Wright strike: “Even before the strike, engine de- liveries from the plant were behind schedule. Since Wright Aeronauti- cal Corp. is the sole source of sup- ply for the type of engine it pro- duces, the stoppage is having a ser- ious impact on the progress of the defense program.” » +Mr, Truman expressed hope the strikers at both plants would re- turn to work immediately. ‘The wage board’s first act will be to relay the President’s back-te- work requesi to the strikers and then, if the men go back, to hold hearings in an effort to settle the disputes. MARRIAGE APPLICATION Ruth H., Roberson, a registered nurse at the Government Hospital, and Jesse R. Boyer, carpenter have applied for a marriage license in the office of the U. 8. Commission- er. FROM ANCHORAGE Eddie and Olga Metcalf, from An- chorage, are guests at the Dar- anof Hotel. and Panmunjom areas, killing one Korean boy and wounding another. ‘The Reds declared in a broadcast from Peiping early today: “Observers here (in Kaesong) be- lieve that this new serious provo- cation created by the American side gives rise to deep misgivings as to whether the American side still has the slightest sincerity in preparing for the resumption of armistice ne- gotiations.” Allied liaison officers made a pre- liminary investigation of the Red tion to have the mayor and city instructed to accept the low bid.| accusation during the darkness lnhb! . ' night and early today and decided !'to resume their inquiry at 9 a.m. up to date when Ken Albertson, store manager, brieted the sales people present on the merchandise offered in today’'s anniversary sale. There was talk about John Krug- ness, oldest employee of the com- pany, manager of the grocery de- partment who, nearly 50 years ago came to Juneau from the plains of Montana, a cowboy whese job it was to subdue the Behrends delivery horse, break him of his babit of running away. John, whose place at the bfeakfast table today was empty, had begged off this morn- ing because of a cold. It was sus- pected that it might have been sentiment rather than a cold that kept John away and he was declar- ed present in spirit. There was other talk of c!dtimers who once worked for Behrends. There was mention of Charlie Car- ter and of Wallis George and others who have. become important peo- ple in Juneau. And of course, J. F. Mullen, president of B. M. Behrenas Bank and son-in-law of the found- er, is” oldest employce of *“e Beh- rends organization, next to John Krugness. At the store, oldest employees ere now Bill Alexander, Harry Sturrcck and Andy Robinson. Records of the company, old aay beoks, would tell the histdry of Ju- nesu as well as of the Behrends company, according to, John Dur- ney, vice president of Behrénds Bank, who recently had been look- ing through them. Albertson said, and recounted the finding of slips dated 1901 when interior walls were torn oui of the store during /:cent remodeling. Seated around the flower-centered table at the early breakfast were Mr. Durney, Mr, Albertson, Esther Erbland, Jim Mahar, Alberta Bent- ler, Lois Poole, Ann Peniod, Al- berta Carlsen, Claire Smith, Bedtrice Albegoff, Edith C.
