FORM RADIO CLUB
A! a largely attended and en
thusiastic meeting held in the
City Hall several nights ago, the
Nome Radio Club was formed,
with the following officers select
ed to preside over the Club’s
destinies for the next year:
Dick Roell president, Guy
Boyd, vice president. Tommy
Givan secretary. Jack Stewart,
treasurer.
One of the primary reasons for
the formation of the club is to
devise ways and means with whi
ch to combat the radio interfer
ence which is so prevalent in
this area, especially within the
confines of the City of Nome.
Several years ago a club of
similar nature was formed, but
after a desultory existence died
the death of all organizations
whose principle assets are apathy
and disinterestedness. This club
purchased and used, up until the
late lamented fire, what is called
a bug-finder. This machine now
seems to have disappeared, no
trace of it having been obtained
able since the fire.
However, this machine was
limited to bug finding only on
long wave. The new club has
sent for information and prices
on a bug-finder that functions,
both for long and short wave in
terference.
At the meeting there was con
siderable discussion on the pres
ent City Ordinance which at
tempts to regulate radio recep
tion in its relationship to outside
interference, and a new form of
ordinance Ls to be proposed to
the City Council at its next meet
ing.
Another fact developed at the
meeting was that approximately
90 of all radio interference is
caused by electric appliances in
homes. The remedy for this sit-|
uation of course lies in the use
of eliminators, little gagets that
can be attached to all kinds of
electrical appliances from a band
saw to a hair curler, and presto, |
no more buzzing around.
These eliminators are within
the price range of everyone—'but
in order to make it even easier
for Nome folk to help themselves
to enjoy their radios during the
long winter sleep, the Northern
Light and Power Co. of Nome
has stocked a large supply of
these articles and has agreed to
sell them at landed cosit.
It seems then that the way is
finally being paved for the rout
ing of this irritating nuisance,
thus adding immeasurably to the
peace of mind and contentment
of a large number of our people,
whose principle winter entertain
ment and recreation depends up
I on the radio.

Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
The regular bi-monthly Lunch
eon of the N.W. Alaska Chamber
of Commerce which was held
Tuesday noon, listened to an in
teresting account of the work
now going on in the Kougarok
section, the second largest pro
ducer of gold on the Seward Pen
insula.
H. C. Cooper, of the Alaska
Taylor Mining Corporation, dis
cussed many of the problems of
development which confront pro
ducers in that area. Principal
among them is the question of
high freight rates.
He was vehement in his opin
ion that the only practical and
the most probable route into the
Kougarok section was via the
Alaska tram road and,the Bun
ker Hill highway now being con
structed by the Alaska Road
Commission. He was of the opin
ion that it was now only about
a mile and a half from Dahl
Creek where good tailings can be
secured for the construction of
a roadbed into Taylor and the
other principal sections of that
rich mineral area.
A. descriptive report was heard
of other road work going on in
the division, and some of the
plans for next year.
Secretary Polet announced that
the committee for a Smoker, at
which time a legislative program
is to be discussed, had decided on
the evening of November 10th.
He also illustrated five or six
I
points which should be of par
ticular importance to the legisla
tive committee in the formation
of such a program. More than
20 persons were present to take
part in the meeting. Determined
efforts are to be made during the
remainder of the month to pre
pare the program for presenta
tion to the Alaska Legislature
and the national congress, it was
announced.
