Visitor Reminisces Over
Early Days of Nome
Mr. and Mrs. Claude Gordon
Shea of Bellingham, Wn., visited
Nome over Friday night and en
joyed reminiscing over the files
of early day Nome in the Nugget ;
office. Mr. Shea was the first
child to be carried over the Chil
coot Pass and was in Nome from
1900 until 1909. Later he was a
U. S. deputy marshal at Seward. :
His wife is a cousin of Bertha
McKay, also a former Nome resi- i
dent and now City Clerk for the
city of Ketchikan. Shea’s father, J
Gordon Shea, was owner of the
famous Gold Rush saloon called I
The Lacey and was himself a
prominent basketball player on
one of Nome’s championship 1
teams. Reading the papers of that ,
era brought back many memories
of former days and old friends.
The couple came to Alaska as
winners of a essay contest held
in Fairbanks.
Mildred Keaton, for many years
itinerant nurse for the BIA in !
this area, is visting her many
Afends here and is the house
uest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cam- j
eron.
George Sheid, son of Fred Sheid ;
who had the early day machine
shop in Nome, was a weekend
visitor from Mt. Pleasant, Mich.
Sheid said that his father pass- j
ed away recently at the age of
87 at Kalamazoo, Mich.
Young Doug Jones
Wins the Go-Kart
Douglas Jones, 12-year-old son
of FAAer Jess Jones, held the
winning ticket in the Arctic Club
drawing Sunday evening. The
prize, a $400 Go-Kart was raf
fled by the Arctic Club as part
of it’s year around project of
making the Nome Dog Race purse
the largest in Alaska.
A 3-speed record player, the
prize for the seller of the winning
ticket, was won by an Arctic
Club member and donated back
to the club to augment the Dog
Race purse.
Young Douglas was attending a
movie at the time of the draw
ing and didn’t find out about his
good fortune until returning
home. Approximately seven sec
onds later he arrived, panting,
at the door of Del Kampmann’s
home, where the Kart was stored,
to see if it was being taken care
of properly. At first it was thought
he was the advance guard of a
Sioux uprising, but it turned out
that he took a spill off his motor
scooter the day before and the
‘warpaint’ was merely iodine.
Father Jess cracked a rib and
blackened an eye in the same
pileup, said Dick Galleher. The
advantages of the Go-Kart with
four wheels on the ground, will
be readily apparent, no doubt.
The Arctic Club voiced if'fe ap
preciation to Bob Harwood and
the Midnight Sun Festival Com
mittee for the help given in the
raffle and o all those who sup
ported the sale of tickets. The
dog races play an important part
in attracting visitors to Nome,
but it takes the support of every
one to make a large purse a
reality. For this reason Arctic
Club stated its special apprecia
tion to those who made the raffle
a success—the ticket buyers.

hind the Board of Trade Bar.

"Good News For The Ovesweight
_H
Overweight Americans will be encouraged by a clinical study
conducted by Dr. H. J. Roberts, of West Palm Beach, Florida, and
published recently in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Dr. Roberts study, wnicn in- c
volved weight reduction with Met
recal, was conducted among 57
private patients who were in need
of prompt weight loss because of
serious or progressive medical dis
orders, impending surgery, or
chronic obesity not remedied by
standard dieting.
In his report, Dr. Roberts
stressed the importance of instill
ing in the patient proper psycho
logical attitudes toward obesity,
dieting and weight loss prior to
commencing and during a weight
reduction program—and he found
Metrecal helpful on this count. A
high degree of patient approval of
the product “immeasurably sim
plified both the initiation and
maintenance of effective long
term programs for weight reduc
tion,” he stated.
Weight losses in Dr. Roberts’
patients ranged from 1 to 12
pounds after one week, from 4 to
24 pounds after one month, and
from 8 to 25 pounds after six
weeks.
While there was considerable
variation in the programs under
taken by individual patients, the
general system was as follows:
1) A 900 calorie per day Metre
cal diet for from 5 days to 5 weeks
(all patients started on Metrecal
alone).
2) Alternation between the 900
calorie per day Metrecal for 3 or
4 days and a 1,000 calorie per day
diet for the same period — most
patients concluding this phase by
the end of two months.
3) Gradual return to a diet
which, in calories, equaled the pa
tient’s energy requirements — this
diet being established after the de
sired weight loss had been real
ized. (Several patients, by their
own preference, chose to remain
on Metrecal with supplementary
food increasing their calorie in
take to the appropriate level.)
Dr. Roberts lists numerous ad
vantages which he found in the
use of Metrecal. Among them:
1) "Metrecal is of considerable
value in both the initiation and
maintenance of marked weight
loss without insulting the body’s
metabolic economy.” 2) “It has
been used without apparent detri
ment in a panorama of medical
disorders.” 3) “It gives the phy
sician several weeks in which to
instruct the patient concerning
proper diet therapy and the more
pertinent pitfalls and fallacies in
weight reduction.” 4) “It provides
a definitive and practical method
of helping patients to successfully
reduce during periods of emo
tional crisis.” 5) “It eliminates
guesswork and inconvenience of
calorie counting.” 6) “it gets the
patients ‘away from the table.’ ”
7) “It completely satisfies the ap
petite." 8) “It is highly practical
and stable, and eliminates mixing
a number of ingredients.” 9) “It
will always effect weight reduction
in a cooperative obese patient.”
