COUNCIL NOTES
Due to the illness of the Mayor,
Councilman Wallace M elver pre
sided at the Council meeting on
Monday evening.
It was reported that the city
had made *the necessary repairs
to the heating system, as required
after the inspection had been
made by a state boiler official.
A letter was received from Eli
Mulch, stating he was willing to
sell his property next to the
school playground, for assessed
valuation.
An agreement is being studied
by the City, with the administra
tor of the court system, concern
ing the setting up of services for
the office of the magistrate. Whe
ther it will be better for the state
to furnish these services or the
city, is being carefully consid
ered, as the old system changes
into the new state court system,
which does not provide a city
magistrate.
The resignation of Nome City
Attorney Jim von der Heydt was
accepted by the Council.
There was a report on the prog
ress of the School Safety Patrol,
which is being organized and
planned.

Safety Program Presented
At P-TA Meeting Tuesday
Safety was the theme of the
P.-T.A. last evening with State
Police Sgt. Bob Morris, Evert
Hough of the BPR, and Police.
Chief John Marvik answering
questions to many traffic and
driving questions.
The program was planned by
John Woodiel, who showed a film
on “Safety,” which has also been
shown to the school children.
Mr. Hough explained that
whenever a community gets a
paved street, new hazards nat
urally develop. The tricycle driv
ers must be trained to stay off
the pavement, and this must be
done by the parents for the safe
ty of their children. Although the
city traffic speed is only 20 miles
an hour, and 15 in school zones,
these little folk popping out from
between parked cars, and not
watching where they are going
are a great hazard. He cautioned
that pedestrians have the right
of way, but the time has come to
separate pedestrian and drivers
with crosswalks and traffic rules.
He suggested that the city pro
vide a sidewalk on the east side
of Bering Street so that school
children need not use the street
coming and going from school.
Parents asked John Marvik for
areas where .children can play
safely with sleds and skis in the
winter months, and were in
formed that these areas would be
announced as well as crosswalks
for streets, especially in the area j
around the school.
P-TA went all out on feeding
the children in school, and author
ized purchase of a heavy duty
mixer and other necessary equip
ment for the teachers to use in
the mixing of powdered milk each
day.. $175 was allocated for this
purpose. They also voted $100
toward tickets for hot lunches
for needy children.
Parents enjoyed a half hour of
band music preceding the meeting,
under the direction of Lee Barber.
The band was colorful in its at
tractive uniforms.
President W. Bohrer announced
that there would not be another
P-TA meeting until January.
The first “Lucky Buck” winner
in the contest sponsored by the
Merc and Nome Hardware was
Walter Simon.
