Nome, Kotzebue, Barrow,
On One Wien Tour
Starting June 5th
Writing in the magazine “Wien
Alaska Arctic Liner,” Frank
Whaley discusses tour plans for
1961.
As a result of the many re
quests for a tour that would in
clude Nome, Kotzebue, and Point
Barrow, all on one trip, a new
tour will be added for the 1961
season. It is to be called the
“Polar Sea Tour” and will oper
ate four times each week between
June 5 and Sept. 5.
Twice each week, tourists may
leave Fairbanks on the regular
Arctic Coast tour to Nome where
they will have a ground tour, gold
panning and entertainment and
stay overnight. The next morning
they will leave for Kotzebue, go
sightseeing there and go on to
Pt. Barrow for the night, return
ing to Fairbanks the afternoon of
the third day.
This same tour will operate
twice each week from Fairbanks
to Pt. Barrow for tour entertain
ment and overnight, then fly from
Pt. Barrow to Kotzebue for a
sightseeing tour and continue on
to Nome for entertainment and
overnight. The third day will be
devoted to Nome ground tour,
shopping, gold panning and the
return flight to Fairbanks.
The three regular Wien tours
will operate next season very
similar to the 1960 tours.
The Arctic Court tour to Nome
and Kotzebue will begin daily
operations May 20 and run thru
Sept. 17. The Top O’the World
tour to Pt. Barrow will operate
daily June 5 through Sept. 5.
An accelerated tour sales pro
motion campaign will be carried
out this winter in hopes that 1961
will set new records for Wien
Polar Tours.

City Council
IVTootiiig Notes
Carl Glavinovich was appointed
by the City Council Monday eve- |
ning to represent the city at the
meeting of the State Board of
Education in Anchorage on Dec.
1. He will present the vocational
school plans prepared by the
Chamber of Commerce and the
city. Mr. Glavinovich is well
qualified to present the city’s
case since he has has engineering
experience and since the proposed
thawed - ground sites have been
made available for the school by
his company, the U.S. Smelting,
Refining and Mining Co.
Howard Crinklaw, manager for
the Nome Light & Power Utility,
presented a five-page report on
the power system and recom
mended that a complete study be
made and a plan adopted for the
development of the distribution
plant to enhance the availabality
of electric power to all parts of
the community.
He called attention to the fact
that several surveys have been
started but none completed and
no long range planning projected
for the good of the system or
the community.
The snow removal on public
streets will follow a new pro
cedure it was decided. The snow
will be removed street by street
and during the time the work is
taking place that street will be
blocked to traffic by signs and
all cars will be removed. It is
hoped by using that method a
more efficient job can be ac
complished.
The Jeep Pumper which was
acquired through Civil Defense
as an auxiliary fire unit, and
for which the Village of Unala

sold to them for one dollar.
The application of the Bap
tist Church to operate a loud
speaker outside its church build
ing at the foot of Steadman Ave.,
was approved.
City Attorney Virgil Vochoska
was instructed to notify those

the interest would not be waived
and that the 25 per cent penalty
would be held in abeyance.
The Eli Mulch property back
of the school, for which the city
has been negotiating for some,
time, was deemed worth $6,796.85
with the exception of the Silverio
Ruiz residence. The Council re
quested the School Board to pay
for half the price of the property, i
which is to be used for a school
playground. The Council also ag
reed to remit to the School Board
half the proceeds of sale of cer
tain buildings on the property. If
