Unalakeet Is
Declared CD
Disaster Area
The village of Unalakleet has
been designated a disaster area
by Lester Bronson, the North
western District Director of Civil
Defense.
Bronson had taken off in his
own plane Monday on a cam
paign trip down coast, accom
panied by Charles W. Fagerstrom
Jr. Bronson is the Democratic
candidate for the Senate District
N post and young Fagerstrom is
the son of Charlie Fagerstrom
who is the Democratic candidate
for the House from the 23rd Dis
trict.
Sen. Bronson phoned the Nug
get yesterday and said he took
the action because the village of
Unalakleet was vulnerable to an
other storm from the southwest.
He likened the village’s plight
to Nome’s before the seawall was
built. He said that a great part of
the village was in danger from
another storm, especially toward
the river.
He said Mrs. Ward, the State
Red Cross director, was at Unala
kleet, taking peisonal charge of
her organization’s relief program.
Bronson said he had attempted
to contact Gov. Egan and CD
Director Vernon Metcalfe in order
to accelerate help to the village
battered by the recent heavy
storm.
The Village Council, he said,
was meeting Tuesday night to
select a Deputy Director of Civil
Defense to direct the work.
Bronson said he hoped that the
governor would make funds avail
able from his contingency funds
to help the Norton Sound village.
Twenty shovels and picks, he
said, had been ordered from the
CD in Anchorage, and that all
available men in the village were
hired to build a wall on the
seaward side of filled oil drums
and rock and gravel.
On leaving Nome Bronson said
he would go into the lower Yukon
on this campaign trip and person
ally investigate the reports of
voting irregularities in the pri
mary election.
Engine and radio trouble forced
Bronson to postpone his trip fur
to the east and he returned to
Nome this afternoon. .
