NATIONAL
WRITERS WILL
BOOST ALASKA
Who says Alaska is not destined
to be a great land for tourists?
Let that man read forthcoming
issues of Screenland, Inside TV,
Silver Screen, TV Carnival, and
others. Early issues will make the
traveling public aware of fact and
fable about the unfrozen north as
the place to go for new vacation
experiences.
Michael O’Shea, nationally
known magazine writer and actor,
recently visited Nome and was so
taken with Alaska’s vacation won
derland he decided to do some
thing about it to let tourists in
the States know what they’re
missing.
Upon his return to Hollywood,
O’Shea organized an expedition
of publicity folk to tour the great
Northland. Besides O’Shea, the
group included Dorothy Arnold,
singer and actress; Michael Ray
hill, poplar Hollywood night club
singer; Danton Walker, Broadway
columnist; Lynn Bowers, of the
Louella Parsons staff; and Peter
Perri, photographer.
This self - appointed Alaska
Booster Club flew from Seattle to
Nome via Alaska Airlines and,
with stops at Anchorage and Fair
banks, managed to see and record
much of the territory’s prize scen
ery. “Where else,” beemed glam
orous Miss Arnold, “can you go
hunting for gold nuggets on the
beach, and in 20 minutes pick up
enough for a pair of earrings
And only 180 miles from Siberia,
too!”
With such publicity, talent and
enthusiasm turned loose in the
wonderland of Alaska, America’s
movie and television fans are due
to be reading and seeing a lot
about the thrills and beauty in
store for the Alaskan vacationist.

JUNEAU—No appointment will
be made by Gov. Heintzleman to
! the vacancy left on the Alaska
Statehood Committee by the re
signation recently of Sen. Howard
Lyng of Nome, it was confirmed
here last week by Robert DeAr
mond, Heintzleman’s special
assistant.
The reason the place will be left
unfilled DeArmond said, is that
it is impossible under existing
law to fi,Jl it.
The act creating the Statehood
Committee provides that mem
bers, after being appointed by the
Governor, have to be confirmed
by “the 19th Territorial Legisla
! ture.”
The 19th Legislature adjourned !
sine die in March of 1949.

Visitors to Nome
Wien’s Tuesday-arriving plane
carried 15 visitors to !Nome. Most
of them were “paper-minded,” as
the Nome Nugget was requested
to be forwarded' to their home
towns from Maryland to Califor
nia.
Several of this group travelled
on the Narrow Gauge, while oth
ers toured King Island Village,
the city, the gold dredges and up
and around Anvil Mountain.
In this party were Miss Barbara
Diehl, Bethesda, Md.; Martha A.
White, Riverside, Calif.; Anne
Mary Mellinger, Cordova, Alaska;
Mrs. A. Matzka, Fairbanks; Mil
dred Anderson, Rose Hill, Iowa;
Ellis C. Thompson, Lebanon, Ohio;
Mr. and Mrs. John Wagenseller,
Fairbury, Allinois; Meryl B. Gray,
Lebanon, Ohio; Charles Mack
Smith and his mother, Mrs. C.
Seeley Smith, Vancouver, B.C.,
Canada; and Jane Robin, Lebanon,
Ore.
Also among the visitors were
Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Chase, of
Glendale, Calif. Mr. Chase owns
and operates the Chase Travel
Service.
He says that Californians are
Alaska travel concious, that the
purpose of this trip to Nome and
Arctic Alaska is to- see for them
selves the tourist possibilities
throughout Alaska and to become
familiar with northern attractions
so that Alaska can be better por
trayed to prospective travelers in
1954.
Mr. Chase further states that
he and Mrs. Chase are both tre
mendously impressed by the plac
es to be seen and events to be
experienced in the Arctic. He
plans a trip for Chamber of Com
merce members in 1954 to these
parts.
Truly a great land, Alaska!
