Newly-Formed Bowling
Assn. Bears Name of
Sourdough City Assn.
Nome’s newly-formed City
Rowling Association, bearing the
name “Sourdough City Associa
tion”, hopes to:
“Foster the spirit of good fel
lowship, increasing by organiza
tion an interest in the bowling
game. . . .”
These words, taken from the
first article of the American
Bowling Congress’ Constitution,
are directed toward people who
enjoy organized kegling activities
as well as those folks who like
to get out and “just bowl.”
The preliminary meeting was
held Friday. Jan. 6. with the fol
lowing officers elected: President,
Del Kampmann; Vice-President,
Stan Sobocienski; Secretary, Jack
Carpenter; Treasurer, Carl Gla
vinovich, and two executive
directors, Ash Craft and Barrow
Morgan. These officers, with four
volunteers from the meeting
formed a constitutional commit
tee to draw up the City Associa
tion’s Constitution .
A meeting Tuesday evening,
Jan. 10 at Del Kampmann’s home,
resulted in the completion of the
Sourdough City Association’s Con
stitution and the appointment of
four additional executive direc
tors: Art Sandstrom, Earle Coult
hard. Carl Mickelson and Tom
Martin.
The final step, certification of
the alleys at Aukruk Lanes, be
fore formal recognition from ABC
is granted, is complete except
for measuring critically the tilt
of the alleys.
The special measuring device
needed is not available in Nome,
and it is hoped to borrow one
from Fairbanks. Failing that, one
will have to be purchased from
the American Bowling Congress.
Dennis Marquiss, manager for
Aukruk Lanes, states that several
teams have submitted names for
leagues begin bowling it will be
interested in team and league
scheduling to contact him as soon
as possible, because once the
l°ayues begin bowlinf it will be |
too late to enter.
Further details on membership
or participation in ABC sanc
tioned leagues may be obtained
from Sourdough City Association
Secretary, Jack Carpenter.

School Board
liaises Salaries
By Dorothy Grant
The Nome School Board held
its first regular meeting of 1961
on Tuesday evening at the school.
Present were President George
Bayer, Treasurer Roy Snyder,
Clerk Dorothy Grant, James
Oksoktaruk and Ashby Craft.
Superintendent Potter report
ed that teacher vacancies are near
I ly filled. He felt that the pending
| teacher salary increase, approved
1 by the board in December, is
aiready aiding teacher recruitment.
| The Nome School Board has
' unanimously adopted the follow
ing teacher salary increase
schedule to become effective in
the 1961-62 school year. New
teachers coming into the Nome
I schools would receive the basic
i salary offered by the state for
the position filled. If the teacher
remains in the school system the
second year, the local district will
pay $400 per year above the basic
state salary. If the teacher re
mains three years the salary is in
creased $500 toy the district. This
salary increase falls into city’s
share of the school budget and
will be over and above any pos
sible increase at the state level
which may be forthcoming dur
ing the next Legislature.
The board has long felt that
Nome’s failure to keep pace with
other communities, in supple
menting teacher salaries at the
local level, has been an important
factor in causing the school sys
tem to lose many fine teachers.
Well qualified and interested
teachers have been discouraged
from coming to Nome because
of the high cost of transportation
and the higher living costs in the
community. Many who have come
have found it impossible to re
main because of these factors.
The school budget for 1961-62
includes the teachers salary in
crease and will be submitted to
the new City Council for action.
New Policies
Among the policies recently
adopted by the board are the
following:
1. Regular School Board meet
ings have been increased to two
meetings a month. The board
meets on the second and fourth
Tuesdays of each month at 7:30
p. m. in the Remedial Reading
Room at the school. This room is
opposite the superintendent’s of
fice. The additional meeting has
been made necessary toy the in
creased volume of business com

NOME ARMORY IS
OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED
The new Nome National Guard
Armory was officially accepted
yesterday. Local National Guard
Units will start moving into the
new building immediately, but it
will take about three weeks be
fore the move is completed.
The first public function to be
held at the Armory will be the
Inaugural Ball on Friday, Jan.
20, however dedication of the
new building will not be held
until next spring or summer.
All local Guardsmen who have
drills to make up are requested
to report at the Armory this week
end to help with the move.
Capt. James O’Rourke said to
day a special drill will be held
Sunday afternoon from 4 to 6.
This will be a paid drill and the
purpose of the drill is to make last
minute preparations for the an
nual general inspection on Mon
day, Jan. 16.
USO SHOW DUE HERE SUNDAY
A USO Show is slated to come
to Nome Sunday morning, weather
1 permitting, from N. E. Cape. The
troupe will put on their show
at the School Gym at 8 o’clock.
Sunday night. As usual there will
be no admission charge and is
limited to adults and children
under 12 years of age will not be
admitted.
ing before the board each month.
The public, is welcome to attend
these meetings. In the past three
years only three school board
meetings have been attended by
visitors. There are 698 children
in Nome School. This seeming
indifference to the operation of
the school is disturbing to all
board members. You are urged
to attend.
2. Another policy recently
adopted by the board is one
restricting school dances and
I school parties to school children.
In the future all school dances
or parties chaperoned by school
personnel will be restricted to
school children and approved
guests.
3. The board has also ruled |
that beginning with the 1961-62
school year no teacher under
contract to the Nome Public
Schools may engage in any other
kind of employment, during the
teaching year. This regulation is
deemed necessary because it is
the board’s opinion that teaching
is a full time profession and
teachers should be concerned
only with the positions for which
they are employed and give their
time and energy to that which
best benefits the children in their
charge.
The board also feels that it is
unfair for teachers who are em
ployed on a full time basis to
take positions which may deprive
others of the opportunity to be
gainfully employed. In raising
teacher salaries at the local level,
the board is seeking to eliminate
the necessity for outside employ
ment.
