Minutes of the Meeting of
Alaska Territorial Chamber of
Commerce
October 8, 1938
Nome Nugget
Nome, Alaska.
A called meeting of the Board
•of Managers of the Alaska Terri
torial Chamber of Commerce
was held in Juneau, Alaska, on
the above date, with the follow
ing in attendance:Presiding Offi
cer and First Vice-President
A. J. Gallwas and L. W. Kilburn
of Douglas; W. J. McDonald of
■Cordova; John W. Jones and M.
S. Whittier of Juneau; H. R.
Vanderleest, Treasurer; and Cur
tis G. Shattuck. Executive Sec
retary. Mr. J. P. Williams, who
went to the National Rifle Mat
ches at Camp Perry as the Cham
ber’s publicity agent, also was
present.
Minutes of the last Board meet
ing, held in July, were read and
approved.
Mr. Williams told the Board of
bis work at Camp Perry in the
interests of tourist promotional
work for Alaska. Since Camp
Perry is each year the meoca of
big game hunters and sportsmen
of all kinds from every part of
the nation, it offered an excel
lent opportunity for such activ
ity. A tremendous interest was
shown in the Territory, as was
evidenced by the crowds that
contsantly beseiged the Alaska
desk in the front of the Win
chester Repeating Anns Co.
booth.
In addition to disposing of sev
eral hundred pounds of litera
ture, Mr. Williams had meetings
with small groups where Alas
kan moving and still pictures
were shown. He also made trips
out of Camp Perry for the lec
tures. Stress was laid by Mr.
Williams on the fact that Alaska
is not a land of promise for un
employed persons. Following the
fine report made by Mr. Williams
which was much more detailed
and lengthy than can be given
here, the Board expressed its ap
preciation for his fine work.
Correspondence was read rel
ative to attempts to improve the
freight & passenger service west
of Kodiak. Since Delegate Di
mond is now in westward Alaska
and is studying this problem at
first hand, action was delayed
until the Delegate can be con
ferred with.
Attention was called to the
1939 Convention of the National
Editorial Association which will
be held in Alaska. The Secretary
was ordered to cooperate to the
fullest extent with the N. E. A.
Since Delegate Dimond made a
special trip to the 1939 N. E. A.
convention to invite them to Al
aska in 1939. the Board voted
$50.00 toward defraying the dele
