Major Paul S. Edwards, head
of the Alaska Communications
* System, who left Nome yester
day for Fairbanks, after com
pleting a trip to Point Barrow
and other northern points, an
nounced prior to his departure
that sometime during the com
ing summer the local station of
the Signal Corps would be mov
ed to the new Federal building
with offices on the 2nd floor.
The major also declared that
muah new and modern equip
ment designed to prevent any in
terference with broadcast recep
tion by the public, would be in
stalled when the station is mov
ed.
His statement also included
the information that one receiv
er would be maintained at the
present site, but that the remain
dor of the equipment would be
centered at the Federal building
and all operations conducted
from the new location.
Major Edwards’ announcement
clarities a misunderstan ding
which occurred between civic
leaders and officials as to the ad
visability of moving the station
last fall when other departments
which had been housed in tem
porary structures since the fire
of 1934, moved into the new
building. The moving of the Sig
nal Corps station to the new fed
eral building will place one oth
er federal agency under the com
iron roof, and be a departure
from the old policy of maintain
ing separate institutions about
the city
Major Ediwards is the first Al
aska Communication System
chief to make a survey of the
^system thruout A'as'.ca during

SCHOOL NEWS
_
At a special assembly Friday,
’he Nome High School Student
Association had the privilege of
hearing an inspired address by
Judge Morrison of the United
ct Court. The re
mainder of the meeting was de
viled to the nomination of candi
dates for the various student
offices for the coming year. The
| election will take place April 14
in what promises to be a close
contest between presidential
candidates Virginia Calkins and
George Martin.
The Junior Class have begun
work on three one-act plays to
be given April 15th. Other stu
dents will also appear in the ev
ening’s entertainment which has
been planned for variety and in
terest. The chills and thrills of
“The Singapore Spider,” the hu
morous pathos of “Bargains” and
the ridiculous gayety of “Love
and Lather” make up a program,
crammed with diversified appeal.
Most of the students who appear
ed in the recent success, “The
Balmy Mr. Brown” will again dis
play their talent. The plays are
being coached by Miss Stubkjaer
Miss Thompson and Mr. Pool.
Those children who with reluc
tant feet wearily trudged to '
school a few days early last fall
will receive their just reward
next week. Beginning Wednes
day, April 5 the remainder of the
week will be spring vacation.
This has been made possible by
the early start of the school term
this year and will still permit
the regulation number of days.
Have The Nome Nugget sent to
your mining claim.
