Civil Defense
Program To Be
Reactivated Here
By RUTH McLEAN
“The Civil Defense program in
Nome is to be re-activated,” Les
ter Bronson, CD Director, advised
the N.W.A. Chamber of Commerce
Monday. Mr, Bronson said that
under the present arrangement,
in the event of an emergency, the
CD director is first in responsi
bility, Mayor Andersen second and
Police Chief Marvik third.
The re-activated program will
utilize City Council members to
help ration groceries, etc., during
an emegency, Mr. Bronson stated,
and a dispersal progam to evacu
ate public buildings will be for
mulated.
It is understood that Nome is to
receive supplies of medicine and
a short wave radio through Civil
Defense at a very small cost to
the city. Mr. Bronson reminded
tht the city has already received
a fire jeep and a snow weasel for
emergency use from Civil De
fense.
Mrs. Opal Catlin advised the
Chamber members that the MMM
Hospital has received two auxil
iary light plants (valued at $20,
000 and for which the city paid
a very small charge) from Civil
Defense. Q Trucking and BECK
& Associates brought the light
plants into town and unloaded
them at the hospital, and the
USSR&M Co. will install them,
with the hospital paying for sup
plies needed. Mrs. Catlin also
stated that the hospital paid $1,500
for a building with a concrete
floor to house the light plants,
which will give the hospital heat
and lights if the city plant is not
operating.
Chamber President Jerry Man
ning reported that a letter had
been received from the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, thanking
Nome for its hospitality to the
Seattle group, who overnighted
here recently.
