Ray Hawk's Parents Visit
Bubby Curran at Bellingham
Little Bobby Curran of Solo
mon, who left here recently for
St. Joseph’s hospital in Belling
ham, Wash., for special treatment
for polio, has already found good
friends there.
Ray Hawk of CAA, who is ham
radio operator, upon learning of
the boy’s departure from Nome,
contacted other hams who relayed
the message to his parents, Dr.
and Mrs. Ray Hawk of Belling
ham. The elder Hawks visited
Ray here last summer. The Hawks
immediately went to the hospital
and are now calling regularly on
Bobby, taking the place of his
family, Mr. and Mrs. Pete Curran,
and seeing to it that he is not
homesick or lonesome.
Sen. Chas. D. Jones Writes
That 60-Day Session of
Legislature Too Short
Senator Charles Jones reports
from Juneau that he has been
“on the job so continuously that
the time has gone by so rapidly
that it seems that I am unaware
of how fash it has gone.”
He states that the territorial
problems are so many that sixty
days’ session every two years is
not adequate to do the work ne
cessary to keep it functioning
properly.
Jones has sent a complete file
of all the bills introduced in the
Senate. Anyone interested is wel
come to study them at the Nugget.
The new banking bill is the longr
est so far, totaling 121 pages.

Robert Baldwin of the Nome
School Board asked city council
approval for an architect, experi

brought here to study various
problems of enlargement and to
estimate the feasibility of convert
ing the gymnasium to classrooms.
Another possibility to be investi
gated is the use of the old Native
School as an annex to absorb
some of the overflow from the
crowded school.
n. r. narper, civilian ueiense
chairman, stated that two addi
tional sirens, purchased from the
Civilian Defense, would soon be
here, with the proviso that the
city install them. The council
readily agreed to assume the re
sponsibility for the installation.
Dan Jones, representing Rotary,
requested the city take over the
chairmanship of Red Cross. The
council declined at this time, re
ferring the matter to the Red
Cross director in Fairbanks for
further information.
The Police Department reported
fines collected this month at $273
with 28 arrests, seven of which
hav been turned over to federal
authorities.
