Site For Scout
Encampment Be
Decided Tonight
At a meeting of the Boy Scout
troop committee last week it was
decided that they would meet
with the scouts at the Scout Hall
once each month instead o'f meet
ing separately. It was felt that
this would be a better means for
the committee to become ac
quainted with Scout activities and
would enable them in turn to
stimulate interest among the boys
for the Scout program.
Present at the committee meet
ing were Judge Hodge and Wal
ter Sipprell, who are members of
the Area Council, comprising both
the 2nd and 4th Judicial Divi
sions. Both men have had years
of experience in Scout programs
and promised their aid to the
troop committee in building up a
program for the Nome area.
Plans were discussed for a
Scout encampment some time this
summer. Several sites for the en
campment were suggested includ
ing Salmon Lake and the Council
area. It was felt that the Dexter
Camp should be used for week
end trips and that the summer en
campment should be held further
from town.
During the summer camp, a
national scout representative from
the Fairbanks office will be pres
ent to' aid the scouts and the
scoutmaster. Members of the
troops committee and others in
terested persons will also be in
vited to stay at the camp for two
or three days.
The next regular joint meeting
of the scouts and troop commit
tee will be held tonight at the
Scout Hall. All Scouts and com
mittee members are urged to .at
tend, as a camp site and the date
for the encampment will be de
cided.
Black bears are increasing in
number in the United States, stu
dents believe.

President Recommends
Permanent Refueling
Base At Cold Bay
WASHINGTON, UP) — President
Eisenhower today recommended
to Congress the establishment of
a permanent aircraft refueling
base at Cold Bay, on the Alaskan
Peninsula. The President urged
the project to insure continued
civil aircraft operation on the
great-ciicle route to1 the Orient
and to replace the services pro
vided by the Air Force at Shem
ya and Cold Bay.
Aviation observers here said
the President’s recommendation
means he undoubtedly will ap
prove continued commercial air
line flights from Seattle to the
Orient when the CAB recom
mendation in the transpacific
route case reaches his desk.
Northwest Airlines is fighting
for recertification of the route
and Pan American Airways is
seeking permission to send some
of its filghts across the north
Pacific.
It is believed Cold Bay will be
in full operation within the year.
Limited use will begin Friday by
Northwest Orient Airlines.

Sun Total Eclipse
Seen in States
By Early Risers
NEW YORK, UP)—-A dragon
swallowed the sun this morning.
This at least was one ancient
superstitious explanation of what
millions of Americans were able
to see soon after dawn—a total
eclipse of the sun or good portion
of it.
The great celestial show, prac
tically the last one this century
for many Americans, was re
served for early risers.
* The full blackout, or total
eclipse, was viewed only by
persons in a belt 68 to 96 miles
wide from Holt County, Nebr.,
and extending through South
Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan, in the United States.
Minneapolis and St. Paul are the
only major cities in the path.
But other millions were able to
catch a good portion of it if the
weather was kind—a 74 percent
•bite out of the sun in New YoTk,
about 85 percent in Chicago, 82 in
St. Louis, 91 in Denver, 71 in
Atlanta, 75 in Washington and 66
•percent in Tallahassee, Florida.
Far Westerners missed out en
tirely.
Fairbanks Woman Held

FAIRBANKS, UP)—.Mrs. Esther

tained marijuana, mailed from
Seattle.
Marshal’s deputies and Treas
ury Agent Dave Carpenter had
been watching the postal delivery
window for the package pickup.
They arrested the two women
as they waited for a traffic light
to change outside the post office.
Chief Deputy Marshal Ted Mc
Roberts said a search of the wo
men’s home yielded additional
evidence.
