King Island School Poses Problem
THE BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS announced
this week the closing of the King Island school
which was attended by about 35 children last year.
The Nome School had reached the saturation point
prior to this announcement, and what to do if any
portion of these children remain here is a serious
problem confronting the city.
It is equally serious for those King Island resi
dents who cannot afford to remain here for the winter
and whose children must go without schooling for
the next year at least.
With the closing of the King Island school, the
BIA has at least $30,000 budgeted for maintaining
two teachers, heating and housing them, and for
school supplies—$30,000 to spend somewhere else.
In all fairness to the community which will absorb
the cost of the King Island school, some of this money
which, by the way is tax money, should be .channeled
to the City of Nome.
Education is an important factor in the healthy
.growth of the new state. The overcrowding of»an al
ready crowded school, caused by this unique situation,
handicaps the education of the children of permanent
residents and seriously jeopardizes the primary
grades.
This problem concerns every person with chil
dren in school. It is a potential threat to the future
of our state!
MMM Hospital Changes
Spelling of Name From
‘Mac’ to ‘Mc’Dougall
Ever since the Maynard Mc
Dougall Memorial Hospital was
built there has been some con
tention that the name over the
entrance was improperly spelled.
The MMM Hospital Advisory
Board has made a search through
the records of the U.S. Commis
sion’s Office and ascertained that
“Cappy” McDougall signed his
papers with an “Me” instead of an
“Mac.”
Therefore, stated Mr. Reed, ad
ministrator of the hospital, the
error will be corrected next
spring when the exterior of the
building is renovated. Permission
for the change has been granted
by the home ofice of the WDCS.

Attitude Toward
‘Talks* Skepticism
Mixed with Hope
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, OH — T h e
United States gave NATO am
bassadors a 40-minute report yes
terday on the Eisenhower
Khrushehev talks. One ranking
envoy said a summit conference
or foreign ministers meeting on
Berlin will very likely result from
the talks.
French ambassador Herve Al
phand told reporters that as he
understands the results of the
Camp David discussions between
President Eisenhower and Soviet
Premier Khrushchev, “There was
no change in the rights” of the
Allied powers in West Berlin, but
there was a change in that the
I Soviet threat to West Berlin was
removed.
He added: “Anyway we hope
so.”
The French envoy’s wait-and
1 see attitude reflected a general
air of skepticism mixed with hope
I in diplomatic quarters here.
British ambassador Sir Harold
Caccia said he was “very satis
fied” with what he called a frank
account of the big two talks.
Donald Nelson, War Production
Boss of WWII Dies, at Age of 70
LOS ANGELES, OH—Donald M.
Nelson, World War II production
boss, died Tuesday of a cerebral
hemorrhage. He was 70.
Death came at Good Samaritan
Hospital where he had been un
der treatment since suffering a
stroke a month ago.
During much of the time he had
been unconscious.
He was married only last Feb
ruary to Lena Peters.
City Will Sue for
Collection of Tardy
Sales Tax Money
In an executive session Monday
night following the regular City
Council meeting, the Council in
structed City Attorney von der
Heydt to file suit for the collec
tion of delinquent _ city sales tax
accounts.
The Council was unable to ag
ree on the appointment of a
replacement created by the resig
nation of Roscoe Wilke.
Councilmen present were A1
Doyle, Axel Edman, Clint Gray,
Keith Hedreen, and Wallace Mc
Iver. Mayor Steffen Andersen
presided.
A request for free electric
power for the Civil Air Patrol
was denied. The CAP has ob
tained the old PAA terminal
building at Nome field and pro
posed to use it for search and
rescue operations headquarters,
but they have no means of secur
ing power. The request was de
nied on the grounds that the
: building is outside the city limits,
j it sets a dangerous precedent, and
j the city is precluded from giving
i away power in its agreement with
j bonding company, when it pur
chased the power plant.
The Council accepted a report
of the Nome Light and PcJWer
Utilities covering operations un
til July 31, this year. However,
they will request that Stan Moli
tor of the Molitor & Doremus ac
counting firm, review the Utilities
books at the next regular meeting.
The Council rescinded action by
a previous council granting ex
emption to certain person from
purchasing City of Nome auto li
cense stickers.
Councilman Hedreen was ap
pointed to make arrangements to
clean up the City Hall, outbuild
ings gnd grounds.
Councilman Doyle was to look
ifito the matter of insuring that
the floor of the ^ire station is
strong enough to support the
weight of the new fire truck which
will arrive on the 4ast boat.
It was brought to the attention
of the Council that two gas pumps
i in the city are in violating of a
I state law prohibiting such pumps
on state highways. The reason
1 given is that the gasoline spillage
: dissolves asphalt paving.
Paul Mandeville of the Wallace
Hotel said' his sewage disposal
system was being flooded by
water, apparently caused by a
blockage of a street drain. The
City authorize the utility dept,
to clear up the trouble.
An amount not to exceed $500
was voted to gravel and repair
several back streets. The material
to be used is crushed rock ‘reject’
from the paving operation.
