Resources Board Urges
Private Participation In
Developing Atomic Power
WASHINGTON, (JP) — The Na
tional Security Resources Board
urged Monday that the govern
I ment encourage greater partici
| pation by private enterprise in
1 the development and use of atom
ic energy as a source of power.
This is one way, the board said
in a 10-page report to President
Truman, the nation can plan to
insure against exhaustion of its
strategic materials resources.
Other steps it recommended
•after a six months’ study of long
term materials and energy supply
problems included:
1— A mineral leasing system as
an optional alternative to claim
staking on public lands. The
board said many provision of ex
isting law are “obsolete and ana
chronistic.”
2— A law prescribing policy to
be followed by the Department
of Interior in managing offshore
oil lands.
3 — Laws authorizing United
States participation with Canada
in constructing the St. Lawrence
Seaway and power project, and
providing for other multiple-pur
pose river development.
4— Legislation authorizing re
duction or elimination of tariffs
on raw materials in which this
country is substantially deficient.
5— Greater emphasis on min
eral resources in technical assist
ance programs for under - devel
oped areas of the world.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Love have
settled down at Henderson, Nev.,
where Frank is a development
engineer in the technical dept, of
i the Titanium Metals Corp., owned
I by National Lead and Allegheney
! Steel.

Nome’s First Christmas
Fred J. Wettrick, president of
the Seattle Sourdough Club, tells
a Christmas story—
Nome's First Christmas Tree
About 50 years ago north of
Nome, 30 people in all, half of
them Eskimos who had never seen
a Christmas tree, brought brooms
and a half dozen rag mops, paint
ed them green and used them as
foundations for a Christmas tree,
where no trees grow.
The brooms made fancy limbs j
and half a box of candles were j
the lights. Ladies made candy
bags of mesquito net with a Santa
pasted on the side.
Each person got a thick slice of j
ham and some Lubeck potatoes
and good, hot coffee. So ends a
pleasant Christmas story.
Mr. and Mrs. Dick Ludwig, who
have been making their home in
Salt Lake City since leaving
Nome, have recently been trans
ferred to Fairbanks where Mr.
Ludwig is with the U.S. Smelting
Co. Mrs. Ludwig is the former
Ruth Johanson.
