Documents Sealed
In Cornerstone of
New Federal Bldg.
Saturday afternoon at three
o’clock the cornerstone of the
new Federal Building was put in
place with a box of documents
placed inside it.
Charles Jones, octogenarian,
who has lived in Nome half a
century placed the documents in
the box as they were handed to
him by Mayor Steffen Andersen.
The box was held by the Post
master Marge Bohrer, who will
be in charge of the building.
The marble slabs are now all
in place and it was stated that
each slab was valued at $200.00
making $6,000.00 worth of mar
ble in the entrance.
Many of those watching the
ceremony were disappointed that
the words Nome and Alaska were
omitted from the completed name
on the building of United States
Post Office and Court House.
The cornerstone contains the
name of President Eisenhower,
Franklin Floette, General Ser
vice Administration and F. Moran
McConihe, Commissioner of Pub
lic BTiildings.
Formal dedication will be
made sometime in October.
Edison Marshall Writes
New Novel About Alaska
Princess Sophia is the title of
a new Alaskan novel by Edison
Marshall who has been pro
ducing stories about Alaska and
other far places for over thirty
years.
He has woven an interesting
story around the well-known
steamship which went aground
and all its crew and passengers
perished. He also describes pas
senger boat travel on the S.S.
Victoria in a way which will be
nostalgic for those Alaskans who
travelled on this famous old
ship.
Into the fiction the author has
cleverly woven bits of history,
and taken from the lives of early
pioneers. His descriptions leave
little to the imagination which is
the trend in many of the new
novels.
Esther Davison Drowns
Lulu Fairbanks, well-known
newspaper woman of Alaska
writes from Seattle that Esther
(Peter) Davison, a former Nome
resident was drowned recently in
her bathtub where she fell
asleep.

A.N.G. Officers j
Tell South About
The 49th State
FORT BENNING, Ga.,—Among
; the 118 officers of the 26th Com
pany, Second Student Battalion,
the School Brigade at Fort Ben
ning, there are two officers who
have first hand information
about the nation’s newest state.
First Lt. Wallace J. Harrison,
of Bethel, Alaska, and 2nd Lt.
William W. Caldwell of Nome,
are National Guardsmen who are
full-time employees of their unit.
At this point their similarities i
end, however.
Lt. Harrison was born in Ten- ,
nessee, although he was sent to
Alaska in 1948 as a private first
class in the Army. He and his
wife, Agnes, who is part Eskimo,
have three children Gia, 5, Den
nis, 3 and Duane 2.
Lt~ Harrison visited his Ten
nessee home on the 4th of July
for the first time since 1951.
Lt. Caldwell is stationed on
the other side of Alaska from Lt.
Harrison—at Nome which is
about 550 miles from Anchorage.
Lt. Caldwell was born in the
state of Washington, and after
three years of college, he joined
the Air Force in 1951.
Lt. Caldwell’s present assign
ment is as Battalion S-4 (logistics
officer) for the First Scout Bat
talion. He also plays center for
the basketball team . which has
won the title of National Guard
Champions and the Rendezvous
Champions. The team is com
posed of two Caucasians and 10
Eskimos.
Both Lt. Harrison and Lt.
Caldwell feel that statehood for
Alaska will speed the develop
ment of natural resources and
will help all concerned to enjoy
even greater prosperity.
They extend an invitation to
persons to visit the newest state,
cautioning only that it does get
cold in the winter (about minus
40 degrees).
