free
days
Friday
and
Saturday
yellded
a
number
of
badly
overdue
books
but
not
as
many
as
Mrs
Scott
would
have
like
to
see
returned
Several
of
the
books
returned
last
weekend
had
been
due
early
this
year
Mrs
Scott
hopes
the
fine
free
days
will
encourage
people
to
look
through
their
bookstacks
for
any
volumes
which
should
be
returned
to
the
city
library
In
10G3
the
library
lost
ap
approximately
�
proximately
400
books
but
the
list
of
missing
volumes
has
been
getting
shorter
each
year
Each
book
is
worth
about
5
and
over
the
years
that
amounts
to
a
lot
of
taxpayers
money

A
BELOW
ZERO
-YULE
Prince
George
will
find
itself
with
snow
anu
below
zero
temperatures
this
Christmas
weekend
And
the
Arctic
weatner
sys
system
�
tem
which
is
moving
over
BC
from
the
Yukon
will
hang
around
for
several
days
perhaps
even
a
week
or
two
The
Prince
George
weather
office
said
today
the
Maritime
storm
now
over
BC
which
will
be
followed
within
24
hours
by
the
Arctic
system
could
make
the
weather
unpleasant
in
most
parts
of
the
province
this
Christmas
Expect
Snow
Anyone
ariving
south
can
expect
snow
said
the

weatherman

man
The
cold
spell
already
has
brought
temperatures
of
43
be-
low
to
Anchorage
and
35
below
at
Dawson
City
By
the
time
it
hits
Central
BC
it
probably
will
send
ther
thermometers
�
mometers
down
about
30
de
degrees
�
grees
from
their
present
levels
And
as
It
settles
in
we
wouldnt
be
surprised
if
it
is
20
below
at
Prince
George
Friday
night
or
Saturday
said
the
weather
office
spokesman
No
Change
The
long
range
forecasts
in
indicate
�
dicate
no
immediate
change
in
the
Arctic
weather
There
is
no
sign
of
a
major
storm
in
the
Pacific
as
far
as
the
International
dateline
which
is
3000
miles
off
BC
s
shore
The
Maritime
storms
are
the
main
systems
which
interrupt

Theres
no
evidence
that
people
in
Northern
BC
are
soaking
up
radioactive
fall
fallout
�
out
like
blotting
paper
Dr
James
Robinson
di
director
�
rector
of
the
Northern
In
Interior
�
terior
Health
Unit
said
today
he
believes
the
con
contamination
�
tamination
picked
up
by
human
beings
is
below
dan
danger
�
ger
levels
To
my
knowledge
we
are
well
below
the
danger
point
he
said
explaming
tlut
fall
fallout
�
out
detection
is
a
federal
responsibility
In
Washington
public
health
scientists
said
it
lias
been
found
that
Alaskans
have
levels
of
radioactive
cesium
four
times
greater
than
those
of
the
average
American
For
some
time
it
was
sus
suspected
�
pected
that
the
only
north
northerners
�
erners
having
a
high
radio
radioactivity
�
activity
contamination
were
the
Eskimos
This
was
because
the
Esk
Eskimo
�
imo
diet
consists
of
a
large
amount
of
caribou
and
rein
deer
meat
Those
animals
subsist
on
lichens
plants
which
absorb
heavy
doses
of
radiation
The
Alaskans
with
high
radioactivity
do
not
nuke
caribou
or
reindeer
moat
a
large
part
of
their
diet
Dr
Robrnson
said
that
he
expects
the
radioactivity
contamination
will
steadily
decline
as
a
result
of
fewer
atmospheric
atomic
weap
weapons

ons
tests
Dr
J
W
Saunders
the

sta
stationed

tioned
at

said
he
has
never
heard
of
any

of
serious

in
Northern
