Girl Scout Leaders Needed
The first Girl Scout troop in Nome was started
in 1945 with a registration of 24 girls. As the years
went by Girl Scouting increased to two Brownie troops,
four intermediate troops and one senior Girl Scout
troop. More troops may be added after registration.
There is a need this year for new Girl Scout leaders
and assistant leaders. The Girl Scout Committee will
have a tea on Saturday, Sent. 17th, at the Kozga Build
ing across from the school. All women interested in
Scouting are invited to attend from 3 to 5 p.m.
Other jobs that adults may assist in are in the
outdoor field—taking girls on hikes, camping trips,
and studying nature. Problem consultants are those
that have special skills to share with girls from one or
more troops. Men as well as women can serve in this
capacity.
You may be called uoon to be a Troop Committee
member. Each troop will have its own troop committee,
consisting of three to five adults. These members aid,
the troop leader with specific problems that arise and j
give the leader moral support. The members visit the!
troop when possible to acquaint themselves with the
girls.
If you are new in the community, this is an excel
lent way to get acquainted with other active women
and the young folks of the community. Leaders are
needed, the work is varied, inspiring and without this
leadership Scouting in the community cannot continue.
We urge you to take time to find for Scouting.

advantage of the open water
which may close again under
pressure from strong offshore
winds, against the ice.
Naval officials were not too
proud to learn a lesson from Es
kimos and have speeded up the
unloading by making use of dyna
mited passages through grounded
shore ice to land cargo.
The vessels hovering off Pt.
Barrow had been prevented from
landing cargo by piles of the
grounded ice which clung to the
shoreline after the main ice pack
moved out to sea.
When the vessel North Star ar
rivel off Barrow with the win
ter’s supplies for the Eskimo vil
lage, the natives set to work. They
blasted passages through the
heavy ice with dynamite and
quickly began moving the badly
needed food to shore through the
openings.
The Navy observers quickly
adopted the plan, blasting out new
channels as well as using the ones
provided for the North Star after
that boat left.
Some damage is being done to
the 40 or more ships as they
churn through the ice - dotted
waters. One ship struck an ice
berg two weeks ago and 29 feet
of water flooded its hold, ruining
a cargo of cement.
Other vessels have damaged
their propellors or suffered
scratches or minor holes. The op
eration continues full speed, how
ever, and confidence is expressed
the job will be completed before
the main ice pack seals off the
beaches for the winter.
7% Million To Be
Spent by Alaska
School Districts
JUNEAU—Operation of schools
within incorporated school dis
tricts will cost upwards of $7V£
million for the present school
year, according to statistics re
leased by the Territorial Depart
ment of Education.
Budgets for the territory’s 29
incorporated school districts total
$7,654,256, an increase of more
than $600,000 over last budget re
quirements.
About 60 percent of the school
district’s budgets are furnished by
the territory, the rest by the local
school districts. However, not in
cluded in the figures are expenses
carried by the territory for bus
transportation and special voca
tional and handicapped training
courses.
Biggest budget, naturally, is
carried by the Anchorage School
District, the largest district in the
territory, with an anticipated op
erating expense of $2,823,599. In
Anchorage, the estimated number
of pupils is 6,625 and the faculty
will number about 270.
The Juneau-Douglas consolidat
ed school district is listed third
largest in the territory, right be
hand Anchorage and Fairbanks.
Budget for the coming year is
$616,795. The present enrollment
figure of 1720 is currently run
ning about 100 below estimate, ac
cording to school officials here.
Smallest budget for a consoli
dated school district is Eagle’s
with an expected expenditure of
$5,690 for its five pupils and one
teacher.
