KOTZEBUE TEACHER
OF FIFTY YEARS AGO
RETURNS ON VISIT
Mrs. Emma Black enjoyed a
visit from her first school teacher
in Kotzebue, many many years
ago.
Mrs. Dana Thomas, now 81
years old, who taught school in
Kotzebue in 1902, returned after
50 years to visit.
According to her statement, it
was due to her work and that of
her husband that the natives now
carry such names as Abraham
Lincoln as they tried to give all
the people in the village Christian
names. While visiting in Kotze
bue she called many of her old
friends by their Eskimo names.
Mrs. Thomas came to Alaska as
a teacher for the Mission Society
of Quakers. Her oldest son, she
recalls, was the first white child
born in Kotzebue and he is now
dean of men at Oakland Junior
College in Oakland, Calif.

I Alert Nomeites to
Sanitation Needs
By RUTH McLEAN
Three reels of film have been
received from the Department of
Sanitation, President Jim Walsh
advised members of the North
western Alaska Chamber of Com- i
i
l merce at their Monday meeting. |
Willis Brown has stated that |
I the Nomerama will show the films
and Larry Galvin stated that they
I will be shown on television. .
The films will help to alert the
community to our critical need
for improved methods of sanita
tion, President Walsh continued,
and are a part of the city’s efforts
to install the water and sewer
system.
The Chamber members dis
cussed the recent visit to Nome of
Under Secretary of the Interior
Leffler. Mr. Leffler met with in
terested persons about the need
for fish and wildlife conservation
in this area.
It was his suggestion that a
sportsmen’s club be formed to be
affiliated with a national organi
zation. From this affiliation the
Second Division would have a
voice in Juneau during the next
Legislature, it was mentioned.
It wras noted that at the rate
the nearby streams are being
fished out, there will soon be a
serious shortage of fih for food
as well as sport fishing.
