National Organization
Allots $2000 for Nome USO
The interest of the national
USO in the organizing of a USO
center for servicemen in Nome
was definitely established with
the announcement by Major K. D.
Swisher, commanding officer of
Nome Field, that he had received
word that $2,000 had been alloc
ated for the Nome area.
No announcement was made,
however, as to how this money
was to be applied in relation to
maintenance, building, etc. How
ever, it is a definite step toward
a goal being worked on by several
civic groups. Several sites for the
building are now in the hands of
the committee and one is to be
chosen soon, it has been reported.
