Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
'
The regular noon-time lunch-;
eon of the Chamber of Com
merce was held yesterday at the
North Pole Bakery with Presi
dent Guy E. Mish officiating as
chairman.
Minutes of other meetings
were read and approved and
Secretary Polet reported the re
ceipt of numerous other letters
in answer to the special feature
article in the December issue of
the Cosmopolitan magazine, writ
I ten by Herbert J. Hilshire.
General discussion as to the
| policy the Chamlber should adopt
j in answering tlhe more than sev
en hundred and fifty letters re
ceived, ensued with the concen
sus of opinion being in favor of
publishing a circular stating
clearly the facts of Northwest
ern Alaska, its development pos
sibilities and the drawbacks to
those who come unprepared to
support themselves.
In this way, said several mem
bers, the Chamber, is distributing
bona fide, authoritative informa
tion upon which the newcomer
may make his own decision and
use his own judgement, as to whe
ther he Should come to Alaska.
True, Alaska needs a larger pop
ulation. But it cannot support a
population which is not entirely
productive of its own accord. A
dependent population upon r?Ji«f,
would be merely a drag and handi
cap to the splendid work of dev
elopment now going on.
A committee is preparing a
draft of a circular letter which
will state the case cl-arly and
concisely, and report at the next
meeting.
Rev. Carlson, of Candle was a
visitor at the luncheon, and spoke
briefly on the mining develop
ment going on throughout that
and oth r sections to the east
ward.
Alaska Line Agent Joe Har
nish, who is leaving by plane
this week for the States, reported
that his company would undoub
tedly maintain its regular steam
er service to the Northland next
year, and that volume of com
merce to be moved in 1939 would
determine definitely the extent
of the service. He also referred
to th dissemination of informa
tion on this section of Alaska,
and offered the services of his
company’s travel bureaus and
agencies, where pamphlets or
other type of current literature
on Northwestern Alaska could
be posted and distributed.
