Contracts Awarded For
Developing Space-Age
Radio Communications
WASHINGTON, UP) — Govern
ment contracts were awarded Fri
day night for the development of
a space-age system of military ra
dio communications.
The plan calls for use of arti
ficial satellites orbiting around
the poles as relay stations. They
would provide instantaneous and
interference - proof radio signals
for relay to any part of the world.
The proposed system, for which
the Defense Department announ
ced two development contracts,
is based on successful experi
ments made last winter with the
“talking satellite” called Score.
The satellite, boosted into polar
orbit by an Atlas missile, relayed
back to earth voice messages sent
out to it, including a Christmas
greeting from President Eisen
hower.
The new program bears the de
signation “Notus,” from a Latin
word and the Pentagon said that
Notus “will provide reliable two
way instantaneous communica
tions” which will be tied into an
over-all global communications
network.
One obvious use for such a sys
tem would be the far-ranging
bomber fleet of the Strategic Air
Command, to provide swift and
.iatn - pfoof communications be
tween planes and headquarters.
The Philadelphia missile and
space divsion of General Electric
Co. was awarded a 5Vfe million
dollar contract to start develop
ment of the satellite vehicle.
The Ann Arbor, Mich, division
of Bendix Avation Corp. was as
signed an 8M> million dollar con
tract to start work in develop
ment of the communication sub
system.

CAMBELL NEWS LETTER
By CLARENCE IRRIGOO
Summer — 1959
First in 25 Years
Twenty five years is a long
time according to C. M. Irrigoo of
Gambell, writer of Gambell News.
But it is true. The Irrigoos just
returned from their month and
a half vocation at N.E. Cape on
St. Lawrence Island. It was their
first in 25 years.
Ever since Clarence and Mil
dred got married in 1934, they
stayed at home without a vaca
tion, except for a day’s trip once
each year to nearby village of
Savoonga.
In these 25 years, seven chil
dren were raised—five boys and
two girls. The oldest boy, who is
19 years old, just returned from
Sheldon Jackson High School in
Sitka. He graduated in May of
this year. The youngest of the
children is a girl—four years old.
Beer vs. Bear
1 There was really poor bear
hunting last spring. Not a single
animal was seen.
On the othed hand, beer hunting
was above normal! The hunt was
so successful that help was re
quested from Federal government
to take care of the excess.
Help came promptly in 21
strong demolition squad. 7,000
cases of beer believed to have
been buried near Gambell failed
to show up, according to one of
ficer.
Either the work was not done
long enough, or the natives had
“downed” 24,000 gallons of it!
Sewing Lesson
Ed Sheppard of Alaska Fur
Factory claimed he won all the
surplus buildings in Gamell, re
cently offered for bids, except for
two — which were won by two
natives who were fortunate
enough to cast their bids last July.
Mr. Sheppard, appearing before
the Village Council, explained he
will open a sewing center in Gam
bell — like that of Shishmaref.
Mr. Sheppard’s request to open
a business in a native village will
be considered carefully and is be
ing referred to BIA in Nome.
Mr. Sheppard explained that
this will raise the economy of the
village in the long run.
Mr. Sheppard’s plan sounds
good to the ear, but not too good
on the other ear. In the midst of
critical lumber and housing short
ages, opportunities open to the
natives for the first time are
taken away by a man who can
buy a house any time—anywhere
and at any price. Too bad.
Another thing that others did
not get into this bid, is because
that there was not much publicity.
By the time they heard it, the
bids were closed.
Something ought to be done
about this.
