The windows of are ponderosa pine combination units consisting of fixed sash in the upper portion, and hopper windows, which open for ventilation, in the lower portion. To achieve a feeling of greater space in the room, the windows were painted to match walls and ceiling. An inter-esting decorative note in the room is the effective blending of traditional pieces, such as the chandelier and table lamp, into the otherwise modern decor. i der private contract to help J the U. S. Government in the huge task of moving the U. S. Mails." ' in Alaska, where it was once employed by the Post Office Department in large numbers to open Alaskan frontiers to the mails, is due to factors such as greatly increased use of air facilities and other trans-portation. "However," Mr. Summerfield commented, "it still symbolizes the spirit of dedication to duty in the face of adverse condi-tions, and is typical of the great tradition of service of our own people and of the star route carriers who operate un- - hiyi of Savoonga reports, "No wolves on the Island." After taking the mail from Sovoonga into Gambell, Noon-wook usually picks up a full load of 300 pounds or more of mail for Savoonga. The return trip usually requires about two days, because the load is heav-e- r going back. In addition to letters, news-papers and the like, Noonwook usually has a heavy mail con-signment of parcel post, which affords a real service bargain at low cost rates in transport-ing goods in Alaska. Almost anything that can qualify as parcel post going between Gambell and Savoonga is, in fact, carried by Noonwook and his dogs. Shortly after he began carry-ing the route in 1956 when he was 20, he had one of his heaviest mail jobs. A new missionary at Savoon-ga hod more than 5,000 pounds of parcel post sent in from the "outside," and it had to be hauled in in December weath-er by Noonwook and his dogs. He took it all in safely, al-though it required many extra trips. "Star Route Carrier" Noon-wook "has never had an acci-Jdent- ," Postmaster Waghiyi re-ported, "although he has had trouble at times. Some times he has to stop overnight on the way between here and Gambell in cabins due to the snow storm and soft trail," The virtual demise of the dog sled in U. S. mail route Last U.S. Dog-Sle- d Mail Service Operates on Island in Bering Sea The last of the great Alas-kan dog sled mail routes is now operating in remote St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea, Postmaster General Ar-thur E. Summerfield noted to-day. Reports from Postal officials in Alaska show only one re-maining regular dog sled route on the le "mush mush" mail circuit. Chester Noowook, 22, of Sa-voonga, an Eskimo village about 50 miles Sootheast of Gambell (the Island's main community, about 200 miles Southwest of Nome) is the sole remaining dog sled mail car-rier in Alaska the Island. (The Island itself is located out in the .Bering Sea, 120 miles distant, at the closest point, from the Alaska mainland.) Noonwook, who is a contract carrier for the Post Office De-partment, is paid $40 a round trip. Starting out his trip from Savoonga a typical Eskimo settlement consisting of frame houses where the Eskimos live, a church, a Bureau of Indian Affairs School and a native store the young carrier usual-ly requires a day to reach Gambell, unless he runs into one of the frequent howling storms or has trouble on a "soft" trail. These, incidentally, appear to be the principal dangers of the 100-mi- le round trip run, be-cause Postmaster John Wag- - Noonwook and his 10 Husk-ies Spotty, Brownie, Lassy, Boy, k, Frisky, Whit-e- y, Donkey, Blackie and Camel cover the 100-mi- le mail route between Savoonga and Gambell about twice a week. The dogs are used usually from November through May. In June through October, Noon-wook uses a skin boat to carry the mails. The dog route follows the Northern coastline of St. Law-rence Island between the two points, rather than moving di-rectly over the frozen Bering Sea where the "sea ice" is ex-tremely rough and dangerous. The skin boat route goes di-rectly over open sea from Sa-voonga to Gambell, located on the extreme northern tip of Always keep a window open j slightly when driving to ven- - j tilate the car and lessen the j danger of carbon monoxide ! poisoning. j resolution was passed to match available funds with the City for the purchasing of fire fighting equipment.
