luncheon meeting at the North

Chairman Leroy Sullivan intro
duced two visitors: Mr. A. C.
i Cooley. Director of Extension of
Indian Service, and Mr. Roy Ar
nold, Director of Forestry and
Grazing.
Mr. Cooley told the Chamber
of the interest which he has had
in Alaska since he was a young
ster. He stated his appreciation
for this opportunity to know
more about Alaska and the peo
ple that live here and to meet his'
'associates in government service
| in their fields of labor. Mr. Cool-1
ey said. ‘’The people in Alaska'
are very hospitable, very friend-,
ly; they speak to you; they shake
hands with you. There is no for-j
mality. I really enjoy associat
ing with those kind of people—
where you feel at home.”
j Mr. Arnold repeated Mr. Cool
ey’s statement that they had not|
■ come up to Alaska with any pre-1
1 conceived ideas of what should'
, be done but had come up here to I
I find out what should be done. He!
stated that the resources in Al-j
I aska are tremendous and will be I
development as conditions per-'
I mit, and in all this development]
■ the problems of the natives must I
| be given careful consideration.]
j Mr. Arnold spoke about the edu-j
cational work done by the In-]

he and Mr. Cooley will appre
ciate any information or any as
sistance that they can get and
stated further that they want to
cooperate at all times.
Mr. Sidney Rood, Supervisor of
the Reindeer Service at Nome,
who has recently returned from
\ a vacation to the States, was call
ed upon for a few remarks. He
stated that he visited a tannery
in the States and was permitted
to photograph it. The idea has
been suggested that a tannery be
built here, and Mr. Rood declar
ed that it would save the native
skin-sewers a lot of money and
time.
