Chamber Discusses
Threatening
Maritime Tie-Up
The Chamber of Commerce lun
cheon held yesterday at the Polar
is centered around the all-impor
tant question of maritime tie-up
which again threatens to hinder
the economy of this area as well
as the rest of the territory.
In response to a letter from the
Seattle Lifeline Committee for the
chamber to lend their efforts
while the congressional committee
meets in Seattle from today until
Friday, a wire was sent to Volney
Richmond Jr. to act as the repre
sentative of the Nome body. The
wire stressed the facts that the
economy and life of northwestern
Alaska, cut off by lack of roads
from the States, is dependent on
water transportation and that this
condition has resulted in the past
several years in serious set-backs
and food shortages.
As a result of the 1952 strike,
the communication stated, the
mining season was set back a
whole year at the U.S. Tin Cor
poration and food costs on staples
were prohibitive for the average
family who also had its seasonal
work period shortened.
Guests were: Mrs. Florence
Thornton of Ketchikan, who is
realizing a lifetime ambition by
making the trip to Nome where
she has wanted to come for over
35 years.Mrs. Thornton represents
the Alaska Sportsman.
Ken Etter of the Northwest Ho
tel Supply was also a guest. Alvin
Polet brought greetings from “Al
aska’s Largest Chamber,” Fair
banks, and gave a resume of their
activities.
In Commissioner’s Court
Otto Worm, who was given a
sentence of 20 days by the U.S.
Commissioner for drunkedness,
has appealed the case to the U.S.
district court.
The U.S. Commissioner made a
flight to Meyaryuk on Nunivak
Island for an insanity hearing
where a native was found insane
by a jury.
The Women's Society of the
Community Methodist Church
wishes to express its appreciation
to all those who contributed by
their baking or purchases at the
Easter food sale and to the N. C.
Company for the generous use of
their store.
Mrs. Nerland, President
