YOUR Civil Air Patrol
Released by MAJ. F. S. RHODE, C.A.P. Coordinator, N. W. Alaska
Are YOU interested in helping
save a life — a life that just
might be your own?
If you are — and certainly ev
eryone should be, then you should
be interested in supporting the
Civil Air Patrol Air Search and
Rescue program. You can easily
do this by subscribing to an As
sociate Membership in the CAP.
Four classes of such memberships
are available — Regular, Special,
Participating and Contributing.
Regular annual dues are $10, $25,
$50 and $100, respectively. For
1960, however, all classes are
being offered at special rates —
just one-half the regular fee, or
$5, $12.50, $25 and $50.
Your support, through an Asso
ciated Membership, will be mater
ial and^significant. It will make
possible the maintenance of
trained, experienced air search
and rescue flight crews to man the
iL-20 aircraft soon to be available
to the Nome Squadron through
the courtesy of the U. S. Air Force.
Your contributions will provide
half the cost of the air crew pro
ficiency training program, with
the flight crews personally financ
ing the remaining half of the cost.
Your contributions will also
permit the Nome Squadron to
provide a more effective youth
Cadet Training program. Our
youth constitute the greatest as
set to the community, but only if
they are provided the positive and
effective training in citizenship
and job abilities. Such training is
available within the Civil Air
Patrol -Cadet program, wherever
sufficient financial support is
given by the people of the com
! munity.

Clocks Don’t Vary
For Outer Space
SUNNYVALE, Calif., I*—Earth
lings across the nation moved their
clocks ahead one hour Sunday for
Daylight Saving Time.
But Lockheed Missile and
Space Division scientists, keeping
track of their orbiting Discoverer
XI satellite, couldn’t care less.
They never use regular clock
time, no matter what the local
time is.
They created a clock of their
own called system time — meas
ured in seconds. By system time,
12 noon is 43200, or 43,200 seconds
after midnight.
Actually system time is solidly
linked with earthly clocks. It’s
really Greenwich time recorded
in seconds instead of hours.
Midnight at the zero meridian in
England reads 00000 on system
time, and rolls around to 86400 by
the next midnight.

Australia’s Herb Elliott, the
world record holder at 3:54, ran
a mile in 3:57.8 in Los Angeles in
May of 1958 for the best ever in

Bartlett Protests
Wasteful Russian
King Crab Fishing
JUNEAU, UFI — Sen. Bob Bart
lett Friday described as a matter
of gravest cbncern “the reported
interference with American fish
ermen by Russian crab vessels in
the Bering Sea.”
In a statement from Washing
ton, the Alaska Senator said the
action reported last week “not
only . . . contrary to proper con
duct but it is disturbing to learn
the Soviet crab fleet is using nets
reported to be 20 miles long and
10 miles wide.” Added Bartlett:
“No marine resource can sur
vive under such impact. The great
Bering Sea crab fishery will be
exhausted and will be gone if this
sort of fishing continues.”
Bartlett’s statements were based
on reports at Juneau by Lowell
Wakefield, president of the Wake
field Fisheries, who told the Alas
ka Fish and Game Board the ships
from his firm were maneuvered
from a crab school north of the
Alaska Peninsula by a Russian
fleet which spread tangle nets
over an area where American
trawling operations were in prog
ress.
“Our nation has an historic
right in this fishery,” the Bartlett
statement said. “We were the first
to discover and develop it. We
have used sound conservation
practices, contrary to the Soviet
type of fishing.”
The Alaska Senator said he had
discussed the matter “with the
Department of State and Depart
ment of Interior officials. Both de
partments have been fully alerted
and are awaiting official reports.”
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
Meteoric showers are popularly
called “shooting stars.” At least
one shooting star may be seen
every ten minutes, but at certain
times of the year they appear in
showers.
The Perseids, radiating from a
point in the constellation Perseus,
are best seen about 3 o’clock in
the morning. These meteors are
called the “Tears of St. 'Law
rence,” and are noted in ancient
legends by the “fiery tears” of
this saint who was cruelly perse
cuted and burned at the stake.
His festival is celebrated on the
10th of August, but his “tears”
fall for three nights.
T<he Leonid star shower radiates
from the vicinity of a star in the
sickle of Leo and rains most
thickly in the early morning hours
of Nov. 13 to Nov. 15. On an aver
age of every 33 years the earth's
orbit seems to cut through a
denser portion of this meteoric
swarm which causes especially
beautiful displays.

So. African Senator Calls
Mixed Race Children
‘Criminals at Birth’
CAPE TOWN, South. Africa, UR
— The Nationalist Party’s Sen. W.
Brittain has proposed in Senate
debate that South Africa’s immor
ality act be extended to prevent
intermarriage of Negroes and
colored peoples of mixed races.
He contended: “Children from
mixed marriagse between blacks
and, coloreds absorb the weaker
characteristics of both races and
. . . are virtually criminals at
birth.”
RICHMOND, Va., UR — They’re
going to have to find another
doorstop for one of the classrooms
at Highland Springs Elementarv
School.
A Civil War cannonball that
had been serving the purpise, af
ter lying around the school for
two years, was turned over to
police Friday.
An observant teacher noticed
it still had a fuse. He gave it to
Henrico County Oficer A. T. Nor
ton.
Norton put the 20-pound can
nonball on the desk of Poljce
Chief W. J. Hendrick.
Hendrick hasn’t decided what to
do with it, but at least until it’s
de-fused he won’t use it as a
doorstop.

(across from N. C. Cal)
Two Nome Students at
U-A Get Mines School
Lifesaving Course
COLLEGE — University of
Alaska School of Mines students
are now well-versed in first aid
and mine rescue, for 20 of them
have completed the U. S. Bureau
of Mines courses in these subjects.
Percy C. Van Hatter of the An
chorage office of the U. S. Bureau
of Mines left the farthest north
university campus last week after
teaching the two courses. He has
been giving similar courses across
the state, and trains students to
conserve life until patients can be
put under professional care.
Among those completing the
course were Paul Glavinovich, son
of Mr. Carl Glavinovich of Nome;
and Lawrence E. Heiner, son-in
law of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Doyle,
