Gold Souvenir Dollars
To be Circulated Here
One thousand “gold” dollars
will go into circulation here. The
souvenir dollars plan is being put
on by the NWA Chamber of Com
merce in cooperation with the
Fairbanks Chamber.
These gold dollars may be used
as real dollars and are redeem
able in legal tender, however, the
majority of them are carried
away as souvenirs. Stores may ac
cept them and issue them just as !
they do silver dollars.
Thousands of these dollars are |
now in circulation in Fairbanks
and Anchorage.
It has been announced that
later this fall Christmas cards
will be available to mail with the
souvenir cards.
Traffic Hazards
“From the safety angle, the
people of Nome are asking for a
serious accident,” stated E. L.
Hough at the Chamber meeting
Monday. He explained that Nome
is having growing pains with its
new road and made the observa
tion that traffic problems have
increased as many children use
the highway with bicycles and
tricycles, most of which have no
reflectors, excessive speed by
most drivers, pedestrians darting
out from angle-parked' cars. A j
V ded ten-yard truck, he said, i
would be unable to stop in time I
to avoid a pedestrian coming out
Com between parked cars, as
they do.
