Chamber Hosts
Ron Senungetuk
Ronald Sengungetuk was a
guest of the Chamber of Com
merce with his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Willie Senungetuk Monday
noon. He told of his opportunities
under scholarships to the Roches
ter Institute of Technology and
special training received this past
year in Oslo, Norway, where he
studied with some of the best
silversmiths in the world.
He stated that he wished more
people could have had the op
portunities he has had to meet
people of other countries, because
if they did they would have more
consideration for them. He is on
the teaching staff of the U of
Alaska this year, where he says ^
“he will start helping other
oeopie after having had so many
people help him get where he is.”
Judge Gilbert, speaking as a
member of the Transportation
Committee, reminded the group
that their efforts spurred the
establishment of the Nome-Bar
row air route, which has been so
successful this summer. He urged
that they continue their efforts
that some sort of a winter sched
ule be maintained from a busi
ness-wise standpoint as well as
communications.
Judge Gilbert also asked that
the Chamber reiterate its re
quest for the Nome-Bethel air
route, as requested by. the North
ern Aviation Co.
Other guests of the Chamber
were Rex Bowen, president of the
Kotzebue Chamber and Mr. and i
Mrs. P. J. Reader, parents of
Pete, Charles and John Reader of
Nome.
Sen. Pete Walsh spoke about
several factors of defense-wise,
wherein the coast of Alaska was
being ignored at this time. Heli
copters are fcektgr based at Fort
Wainwright—but not at Nome—
here they are needed more, he
reported. He also brought up the
fact that hijacking airplanes has
taken place several times recent
ly and if one were taken in this
area, there is nothing on the
coast of northern Alaska to de
i lay or intercept or hinder in any
way its departure over the imagin
ary Iron Curtain. He also ex
pressed disappointment that the
new Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces in Alaska, Lt, Gen.
George Mundy, who succeeded- Lt.
Gen. Frank Armstrong, has not
included Northwestern Alaska in j
his first survey of the defense
needs of the state over which he
I has command.
