I Brings Greetings From
! Former Nomeites and
Reports Origin of ‘Nome’
By OLAF HALVERSON
After an all-airplane flight to
Warren, Minn., the last 30 miles
of which was in a chartered
plane, I spent four happy days
visiting relatives and friends and
refreshing childhood memories.
From Warren, I took a bus to
Hibbing, Minn., and visited
friends and relatives there. A bus
trip to International Falls on the
Canadian border brought me to
the center of my former teaching
areas. On the way I called up
Mrs. Wien, formerly Lorene Ha
gen, at Cooke, Minn., because the
bus made 10-minute stop there.
A taxi company took me 200
miles to my former teaching
places at Big Falls, Mizpah, and
Indus. All the people in the towns
were alerted by telephone of my
approaching visit which was my
first return since I left 25 years
ago.
At Indus, I was deeply im
pressed and thrilled by a forest
of spruce trees which I planted in
1932 on the 300th anniversary of
George Washington's birth. The
trees were only a foot high when
they were planted and cared for,
but now they form a majestic
forest a quarter of a mile long
and 20 feet high. I took numerous
i pictures of those trees.
From International Falls, I
I flew back to Hibbing, then on to
j Duluth and Minneapolis. After
| visiting in Minneapolis and my
alma mater, the University of
Minnesota, I took a Western Air
lines plane to San Francisco to
! make my trip more interesting.
The plane made two stops, at
Denver and Salt Lake City. At
Salt Lake I called up a former
surveying friend with whom I
had surveyed in Yellowstone
! Park many summers.
San Francisco was a very in
teresting town and the first after
noon I walked alone across the
Golden Gate Bridge and back.
The next day I rode the old cable
cars, visited Fishermen’s Wharf,
had a cruise about the bay and
around the island of Alcatraz. I
rode an electric train over the
bay bridge to Oakland and Berke
ley, where I visited the University
of California.
\ A side trip to San Jose brought
me to Palo Alto, where I visited
Stanford University and the home
of former President Hoover. At
San Jose, I hired a taxi to take
me 18 miles up a steep, winding
mountain road to the summit of
Mt. Hamilton, where I visited the
world famous Lick Observatory.
It was thrilling to look through
the 36-inch telescope and see the
rings around Saturn. Later, the
12-inch telescope revealed secrets
of the stars.
Returning to San Francisco, I
was equally thrilled to visit with
one of the three “lucky Swedes"
who discovered gold at Nome,
Jafet Lindeberg, who still looks
young and is actively engaged in
a new mining enterprise in Ne
vada. He has a beautiful home in
San Francisco overlooking the
Golden Gate Bridge.
He was very happy to meet me
and he took me to his study room
overlooking the bay. To make the
visit more personal, we conversed
at times in Norwegian, his own
native language.
Both Mr. an^ Mrs. Lindeberg
send greetings to the people who
remember him at Nome.
Mr. Lindeberg also told me how
Nome received its name. At noon,
the sun would be directly above
I
what is now Cape Nome when
•observed from Anvil Mountain.
The three “lucky Swedes” called
it Cape Noon, which was modi
fied to Cape Nome.
From San Francisco, I look the
Western Airlines to Seattle and
on the way I saw Mt. Shasta, Mt.
Hood, and Mt. Rainier. In Seattle
I visited with friends. Mr. Sep
pala, world’s most famous dog
musher, also sends greetings to
his friends .at Nome.
Pan American Airways com
pleted my trip from Seattle to
Nome. Thus my three weeks were
filled with thrills and excitement
and it seems almost like a dream
because it all happened in such
a short time.

20 Still Buried
In Rubble From
'
Aegean Quakes
ATHENS, Greece, U'—Greek
sailors combed the rubbled ruins
of Thira Island yesterday, seek
ing 20 persons reported missing
since death-dealing earthquakes
and tidal waves rocked the Aege
an Islands south of Greece.
P ri m e Minister Constantine
Karamanlis’ office announced the
casualty total from Monday’s up
heaval stood at 54 killed.
King Paul and Queen Frederika
interrupted a holiday on the is
land of Corfu to hasten to Thira
by destroyer.
The royal couple toured Thira
in a Jeep today to comfort surviv
ors. They were accompanied by
their daughter, the 17-year-old
Princess Sophia.
All the casualties were on Thira
—most in the town of Santorini—
except five injured on the neigh
boring island of Amorgos.
Thousands of homeless spent
the night in the fields. Minor
earth shocks continued through
the night and into the morning.
The Athens Observatory said 257
shocks of varying intensity had
been recorded.
The first eyewitness reports
from Greek reporters on Thira,
the home of some 10,000 persons,
said the first quake lasted 45 sec
onds and struck just after sunrise.
Most of the casualties were
women and children. Their men
already had left for the fields to
cultivate the wine grapes for
which the island is noted. The
screams and moans of those
trapped guided them as they
rushed back to devastated San
torini, perched on a cliff above
the water.
Seasoned by a series of quakes
in recent years, the Greek gov
ernment sped aid to the stricken
areas.
Karamanlis, in a statement to
newsmen, said Greece had de
clined offers of assistance from
the governments of the United
States and Britain. He said he
told U.S. Ambassador Cavendish
Cannon there was no need for
U.S. help “because at this time
we are in a position to deal with
the situation."
Observers said the rejection of
British aid offers undoubtedly
was linked to the Greek-British
dispute over the future of the
British island colony of Cyprus.
