Legislative Council
Will Meet In Nome
June 9 Through 12
At the regular weekly meet
ing of the Northwestern Alaska
Chamber of Commerce, the mem
bers were reminded that on June
9 through 12, the Legislative
Council will meet in Nome. This
is the first time that this body
has met in this area and a
schedule, to be announced later,
will include hours for discussions
on topics of general interest to
the Second Division and the
territory, as well as specific prob
lems, Senator John McNees
stated.
Bob Blodgett of Teller re
viewed the lack of employment
for the workers of Teller, Wales
and Shismaref and expressed
grave concern for the economy
of these villages. He said that
roads and airports are urgently
needed to bring visitor dollars
into the Teller area.
Two reels of Alaska film, part
of a series prepared for television,
were shown by Frank Whaley.
In his work on tourism with the
AVA and now Wien Airlines, Mr.
Whaley went to Hawaii to learn
some of the reasons why the
islands have been so successful
with their visitor program. “In
the Hawaiian Islands”, he said,
“everyone gives the visitor a glad
welcome, a smile, and sees that
they have a good time.” This
community-wide prgoram has
benefitted everyone, Mr. Whaley
said.
The Chamber members have
received little information on the
effects of the produce handlers
strike to their orders for the
first boat in June. Acting Cham
ber President Don Hungerford ad
vised that he understands there
will be some delay in making up
the orders.
Fred Chambers was a guest at
the luncheon meeting and several
out-of-town visitors dropped into
the Seaview Room after the
luncheon to enjoy Mr. Whaley’s
films. Together with the 36
Chamber members attending,
these made up a large, interested
audience. '
AT ROTARY TODAY . . .
Rotary members and guests
were given a chance to view a
filmed walrus hunt at their
meeting today. Among those who
were especially interested were
the three men who are in north
ern Alaska to capture live walrus
pups for the New York zoo. They
are Carlton Ray of New York,
Russ Kinne, who will photograph
the capture, and Stan Wayman,
of Chicago, photographer for Life
magazine. The film was Sam
Mogg’s “Diomede Walrus Hunt.”
Other guests were: Tommy
Johnson of M-K, Fred Chambers
of American Airlines, Bob Blod
get of Teller, Don Dumble of San
Francisco and Sam Mogg.
The club also bade farewell to
Secretary Willard Mecklenburg
who is leaving next week.
