St John the Baptist Greek Rite Catholic church on Arctic Street dedicated a new bell system weighing over 20 tons after a nine month renovation costing more than 65000 dollars. The tower bells named Saints Peter Paul George Helen Agnes and Cecelia, cast bronze and electrically controlled, will toll hourly from 11 am to 1 pm and sound the Angelus at 6 am noon and 6 pm with special peals for Sunday Masses. The miniature bells within a machine the size of two telephone booths produce tones audible within seven miles.
