ACS-CAA and Merchants
In Tie For League Lead
In City Basketball Play
At last night’s basketball get
together the ACS-CAA jumped
into a tie with the Merchants for
the local league lead, with a close
26-23 win over the National
Guard.
In the second contest the local
. High School five almost managed
to outdo the ANB outfit, but ran
out of gas in the fourth quarter
to bow by the count of 20-21.
Both contests were good exhi
bitions of defense and inability of
the offensive club to decisevely
make scoring opportunities pay
off.
The opening contest, won by
the ACS-CAA, showed little scor
ing but the winners prevailed by
steady press on defense and time
ly scoring. Phil Owen hit for eight
digits to lead the victors, while
A1 Sahlin totaled the same amount
for the losing Guard club that
was close to pulling the game out
of the fire at any time.
The High School five was led
by Ed Maloney in their effort to
upset the favored ANB quintet,
as he counted eight points and
played outstanding ball on the
floor and continualy cleared back
boards. Chuck Fagerstrom was
more than helpful but in the sec
ond half was handicapped by a
■heavy foul total hanging over his
head.
The winning ANB five spurted
in the second half, and with Gary
Longley hitting five baskets in
that time, got the lead necessary
to hold off the pressure of the
High School club.
Friday night, next, the Mer
chants take on the Hornets and
the High School comes right back
-and plays the National Guard.
Sian Morgan, who has been en
joying the mineral baths at the
famous Alaskan resort at Circle
Hot Springs, returned home
Monday.
”erberi James Sr. has been held
to answer to the Grand Jurf on
a charge of larceny from a person,
.i'.h bail set at $2,000.

4Nome Must Help
With Statehood,’
By RUTH McLEAN
“As a community we must pro
gress and we must help with the
problems of the new State.” This
was one of the statements made
toy Boyd Harwood to the NWA
Chamber of Commerce at the
Monday luncheon meeting. Mr.
Harwood, as chairman of the
membership committee, was ask
ing for the cooperation of the
Chamber members in submitting
their current dues and also ask
ing business houses and individ
uals, not now members of the
Chamber, to join in the increased
work of the organization.
Although other communities in
Alaska have a membership scale
much higher than Nome, Mr. Har
wood said that the local Chamber
Board felt that much good can be
done under the present rate of
dues if everyone will participate.
Jerry Manning and Roy Waker
will work with the membership
committee in collecting the out
standing dues.
President Manning advised that
the Juneau meeting to set up a
comprehensive road program for
the new State, which it is hoped
will be accepted by all Chambers
and cities, has been postponed
until February. In the meantime
the Road Committee of the NWA
Chamber will prepare its recom
mendations to present at that
time.
It was also noted that Manager
McNees has written to Gen. Arm
strong asking that the immediate
area of Nome be considered as a
possible location for one of the
proposed ballistic missile sites.
The Chamber has also asked for
information on the possibility of
a deep-water harbor near Nome.
