1st Scout Battalion fired an es
timated 12,000 rounds of .30 cal
iber ammunition and 60 pounds
of explosives under the supervi

! team.
After the “Mad Minute” dem
onstration, the spectators had an
opportunity to fire 25 rounds of
live ammunition each. Not a cas
ualty was reported and everyone
had a goood view of the Scouts
in action.
The 7th Special Forces team
wishes to thank every citizen of
Nome, especially KICY radio sta

hoping “this kind of relationship
continues with the Scout troops

for the fine security support ren
dered during the demonstration.”

More Scholarships In 1962

would receive 15 scholarships
valued at $10,500 for the fiscal
year 1962 under education recom

The allocation is based on 1957

based on the assumption that the
amount per scholarship will aver
age $700.
