Let's look around and see what
we can do to make Nome a
cleaner, healthier and better

7 Boxing Bouts
Enliven Junior
Police Meeting
There was lively and interesting
“doings” at the last session of
Nome Junior Police Saturday
night at the City Hall.
Maj. F. F. Siegwart, command
ing officer, . Alaska National
Guard, of the 1st Scout Battalion,
addressed the group making spe
cial remarks regarding Armed
Forces Day.
Robert Summer, Fritz Cham
bers, Ray Arnold and David Bar
ber entertained the group on their
“brass instruments.”
Then followed the liveliest part
of the evening — boxing bouts.
The city council chamber was
never so noisy, nor so hot. There
were seven bouts, one round,
three minutes.
Large, pillow-like boxing gloves
were used. There were several
knock-downs, however in each in
stance the downed J.P. was up
on his feet, pounding away, before
the count could begin.
Art Nuglene was ring referee,
Robert Russell was point referee
and Director George Goshaw was
ring guide.
Taylor Moto was awarded the
decision over Peter Barber; David
Barber was declared winner over
Lee Oman; Bob Oman was too
heavy for Angelo Buffas.
The fast rounds between Cookie
Johnsen and Guy Martin, Ray Ar-.
nold and Douglas Lee were both
called draws. Lightweights Billie
Joe and Don Pierce kept everyone
shouting—Don had the edge on
Billie. Heavyweights Pete Omeda
lena and Isaac Tingook put on a
slugging match and showed some
fast footwork—Isaac was heavier
and Pete was faster. It was called
a draw.
After this very active and en
joyable evening, the J. P.’s ad
journed to the Glue Pot for ice
cream cones.
Next regular meeting will be
held in September. Rifle Club
members are to meet next Satur
day evening at the ANG armory
for instruction and firing.

First Charter Flight Of
Season Made To Diomede
By Alaska Airlines Sunday
First charter flight of the season
to Little Diomede Island was made
yesterday by Alaska Airlines, with
a dozen Nome people making the
trip.
Although the ice pack has be
gun to move in Bering Strait, from
the air it presented an almost sol
id appearance, with very few
areas of open water. No wildlife
except for a few birds was seen
in or over the ice-pack area. •
The flight left Nome in rainy
weather but from Point Spencer
westward for some distance there
was broken sunlight and a good
view of the wide expanse of float
ing ice. This condition held almost
to Fairway Rock, where visibility
deteriorated.
The Alaska Airlines DC-3 Star
liner “Naknek” made two passes
from Fairway Rock, trying to find
Little Diomede in the murk. The
second pass was successful but
visibility was so poor that no at
tempt was made to fly between
Little and Big Diomede Islands.
Some camera film was exposed
on the trip but it was mainly of
Fairway Rock, the Seward Penin
sula shoreline, Wales, and the ice
pack.
Passengers on the trip were Da
vid Walluk, Angelo Buffas, John
Iyapana, James Okpealuk, David
Soolook, Gloria Jean Mogg, Made
line Mogg, ' Sam Mogg, Mary
Mogg, Howard Lyng and Clint
Gray.
Ed Slye was pilot; Tom Berg
and John Horning, Alaska Air
lines pilots, also were on the
flight, as was Pat O’Neill, stew
ardess.
