New Postoffice
Boxes Work
Like ‘Magic’
“It’s magic,” said one boxhold
er, of the new Post Office when
he was instructed in the method
of using a combination lock box.
Some of the boxholders in their
efforts to get accustomed to using
the combination have been
watched by young people loitering
in the lobby of the Post Office,
who have been experimenting
with the boxes and even been
caught opening them, it has been
reported.
The Postmistress states that it
is a federal offense to be caught
opening any one else’s box, and
•parents are urged to explain this
to the children.
•Parents are also asked to see
that their small children do not
loiter in the Post Office.

NWA Chamber
Hears Convention
Delegate’s Report
By RUTH McLEAN
President Jerry Manning, offi
cial delegate of the NWA Cham
ber to the Alaska Chamber of
Commerce convention in Anchor
age last week, reported on that
meeting at the Monday luncheon
meeting of the Nome group. He
stated that the Alaska Chamber
has made gigantic strides since
it was formed five years ago, and
the 1958 meeting included the best
representatives from all the
Chamber groups and many fine
speakers. The convention ended
Saturday with an inspiring talk
by the vice-president of Kaiser
Company.
The resolution presented by the
NWA Chamber on Highway 97
was tabled as ‘regional,” as also
was the strong proposal of the
Southeastern Chambers for en
dorsement of their 20 million dol
lar ferry system. Mr. Manning
said he felt that the most impor
tant accomplishment of the meet
ing in Anchorage was the plan
to hold a meeting in Juneau De
cember 4, 5 and 6 , with repre
sentatives of all Chambers to pro
pose a concrete road system for
the State of Alaska.
Mr. Manning was elected Sec
ond Vice-President of the Alaska
Chamber for the coming year, and
advised that the May board meet
ing will be held in Nome.
George Sharrock of Anchorage
become the new President of the
Alaska Chamber and the 1959
convention will be held October
15, 16 and 17 in Sitka.
Other business at the Monday
luncheon meeting included a
brief repodt by Judge Hodge on
the visit with the Seattle Cham
ber group last week.
Jim O’Sullivan, Alaska Steam
ship agent, advised that he will
leave for Seattle this week and
will receive communications at
Pier 42 this winter.
A guest at the Monday meeting
was Elsie Goodnight of Munz
Airways.
