Visitors to Nome
Wien-Alaska’s visitors to Nome
Friday were Betty L. Johnson and
Jenny Korolewich, of Vancouver,
British Columbia.
Both attractive young ladies are
with Canadian Pacific Airways.
They are enjoying their vacation
time in Alaska and gathering in
formation to give to prospective
visitors to Nome in 1954.
On tour with them was Mrs.
Ruth E. Beardsley, teacher in Bu
chanan, Mich., who has been vis
iting her son, stationed at Fort
Richardson.
The three ladies enjoyed an ex
tended car tour and when not
taking “shots” back in the moun
tains, gathered reindeer moss, fall
tinted leaves and grasses. On their
second day in Nome all three
spent hours on the beach panning
for gold and took away with them
small bottles of golden grains and
colorful ruby sand.
This fall and winter in her
home town Mrs. Beardsley plans
to “talk” Nome and its great need
for a trunk highway to Fairbanks.

E. Glenn Wilder, A.H.A., and
Herb Hilscher, both of Anchorage,
were in Nome Saturday.
They came by way of Kotzebue,
where there is another demand
for 50 housing units.
They left Sunday for Unala
kleet, planning to visit Hooper
Bay and Bethel before returning
to Anchorage.
More than 70 percent of Ameri
can railroad passenger service is
handled by diesel locomotives.
