MERCY FLIGHT TO NOME
Sunday afternoon Reverend
Paul Carlson was called to the
telephone at Whit? Mountain and
asked if he could make an emi r
gency flight to Nome and take
one of the small Ost children to
Che hospital, who had been ser
iousy burned in her home at
Council. Mr. Carlson, Alaska’s
true “sky-pilot,” check d with
the weather reports and found a
1.000 foot ceil'img| Reported at
Bluff but decided to make the
flight anyway. When he arrived
at Council and picked up the
passenger b? learned that there
was only a 400 foot ceiling at
Bluff, but thought he might be
able to go around the storm.
With the young child and Lois
O f to care for her, Mr. Carlscn
braved the dangers of the storm
area and came through on the
30-mile trip to N-omi'i, only to
find when he arrived here that
there was a snow and wind
storm here. He thought for a
while of Landing on the river
near the radio tower and attempt
ing to g t assistance from there,
because he could not see the air
port from the tower, but after
going a ways farther ihe was able
to make out the field. Carlson
circled the town of Nome two
or thro? times and then accom
plished a difficult landing at the
field. The wind was so strong at
the field that the tail of the
ship was blown off the runway j
of the field before he came to]
a stop.
The Ost child has been nrport ■
ed as recovering satisfactorily.
Father Cunningham Shows
Pilgrim Springs Movies
-
Reverend Edward J. Cunning
ham, Superior of the Pilgrim
Springs Mission gave a very in
teresting lecture Friday after
n in the High School Audit
orium. The lecture accompanied
by motion pictun:s in color was
most interesting and a revelation
to the audience especially to
those who never were to the
springs. The subject of the lec
ture embraced the mission act
ivittes. including the planting of
the vegetables of which the peo
ple of Nome are so familiar.
Wonderful to relate also, is the
fact that all the work such as
farming, fishing, fancy work, art
work, is the entire work of this
ohildren. After seeing the work
of these children and the won
ierful crops raised so close to
Nome, it is no wonder that the!
Mission of Pilgrim Springs man-1
age to s cure the first prizes of
fered in the Nome Pair.
Father Cunningham has sever
al thousand feet of pictures,
if ears have been spent in mak- j
mg and editing these pictums,!
but a l could not be shown in
the course of an afternoon talk
and it is Father Cunningham’s
hope that at some future occa
sion he will have the opportun
ity to come again to Nome and
show these and other vl ws of
the mission.
1941 FISH PROSPECTS
ARE EXCELLENT
WASHINGTON, Jan. — The
Fish and Wildlife Service of the
Interior Department notified Al-!
aska fishermen prospects for thiei
1941 catch of salmon is generally \
good, though iln spots an “off I
year’’ is expected.
The bureau said good escape
ment in 1936 indicated normal
runs of pink salmon in 1939 in
the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak
areas and in Eastern and Sumner
Strait districts of southeast Al
aska which are expected to pro- j
duce good runs this year.
New Regulations
A small return is expected in
Cook Inlet but it was said the
small escapements in 1939 in Icy
Straits and in western and south
ern districts were below the aver
age and only average runs are ex
pected there, while along the
west coast of Prince of Wales Is
land only normal runs of pinks
are expected.
Despite prospects for a good
season, bureau attaches indicat
ed it would be an (erroneous con
elusion to expect easing in the
drastic regulations covering the
1940 season which about cut fish
ing in half in some districts. New
regulation now being drawn
will soon be submitted to Secre
tary of Interior Harold Ickrs.
