Kotzebue News
The carnival held by the Alaska
Crippled Children Association on
Hallowe’en night was a huge suc
cess, with the kids first enter
tained by a display of fireworks
donated by Dr. E. S. Rabeau.
The doors of the ANS building
were opened at eight o’clock to
a throng of villagers who patron
ized the wheel of fortune, fish
ponds, dart games, and the ice
cream booth steadily until both
prizes and ice cream had disap
peared shortly after ten o’clock.
In the adjacent Wien building,
Dr. Rabeau, in charge of the bingo
game, assisted by Harry Ander
son, Jack Bartlett and Jack Bul
lock, kept more than a hundred
players happy until one o’clock.
The coffee table, with cakes
and cookies donated by the wo
men of the village, was under
Jennie Sours, Dorothy Reich and
Clara Rotman.
As usual, the affair was a suc
cess not only from the standpoint
of the ACCA group, but was en
joyed enthusiastically and patron
ized by almost everyone in the
village.
A meeting of the Kotzebue
chapter of the ACCA prior to the
carnival saw the reelection of
Alice Connolly, head nurse of the
ANS Hospital, to the presidency.
Miss Connolly is largely respon
sible for the success and results
or Kotzebue activities in the
ACCA, which has placed the Arc
tic village third in territorial
chapters in contributions and in
funds held in local treasury.

October Weather Summary
Temperature and precipitation
were very near normal during
October. The comparatively cold
periods in the second and third
weeks were offset by the warm
trend the latter part of the month:
A series of storms, moving into
this area from the south, brought
a persistent cloud cover, accom
panied by rain and strong winds
during the last eight, days. This
period accounted for nearly two
thirds of the total monthly pre
cipitation.
Ice started to form on Snake
River early in the month with the
river freezing over completely by
October 14.

building for a greater Alaska
Birth of a pulp industry in Alaska is a great
step toward a brighter future for the Territory.
Alaska has long needed new industries and more
population. The decision of the Ketchikan Pulp
Company to build a pulp mill near Ketchikan
is important news to every Alaskan. It is the
beginning of a greater diversification of industry
in the Territory and will mean steady employ
ment and an increase in Alaska’s permanent
population.
The Alaska Salmon Institute welcomes this
great new industry to the Territory. The Alaska
salmon industry—historically the Territory’s,,
heaviest taxpayer — has a personal stake in
Alaska’s future.
Because nature dictates when Alaska salmon
can be caught and processed, the salmon in
dustry is seasonal. But, with the advent of the
Ketchikan Pulp Company and the possibility
of an aluminum plant at Skagway, the Terri
tory is beginning to build a more stable econ
omy based on year around payrolls and an
increased permanent population.
Write today for your copy of "Welcome to
Alaska," a colorful 12-page booklet crammed
with information about Alaska. At the same
time, ask for a copy of "Alaska’s Salmon In
dustry." We’ll send the booklets to you and to
friends and relatives outside. Address inquiries
to Box 893, Ketchikan.
