Visitors to Nome
I Wednesday’s visitors to' Nome
were pleased with the beautiful
weather on their trip with Wien
Alaska Airlines. Among that day’s
visitors were:
Mr. and Mrs. Donald G. Alden
of the Pan American staff in
Fairbanks, Mr. Thomas Darling,
Jr., of Washington, D.C.
Mr. Darling is Nome’s second
visitor this past month from Wash
ington who is connected with the
Rural Electrification Administra
tion. He was loaded with several
picture-taking outfits and found
much opportunity to use them in
Nome.
Mrs. Peter L. Wentz, with her
two daughters Carol and Jean,
said that in all their travels she
had never spent a more pleasant
or entertaining afternoon than
this one here in Nome—warm, but
not too warm, with clear, Alaska
blue skies.
, Mrs. Wentz said she regretted
not having Mr. Wentz with them
but, since he had stayed in Fair
banks, she and her daughters de
cided they would bring him along
next year, for they must come
back to' Nome.
The trio “airplaned” to Fair
banks while Mr. Wentz drove their
car over the Alaska Highway to
the Golden Heart of Alaska. Re
turning from Fairbanks, the fam
ily will drive to Edmonton, Can
ada. There the trio will fly to
Chicago and Mr. Wentz will con
tinue home by car.
Others in the Wednesday group
were Viola N. Coe, Sacramento',
Calif.; Emma Burris, New York;
Mrs. J. N. Rodeheaver, Winona
Lake, Maryland, Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Magell, Orange, Calif.

ANCHORAGE, (tf) — Bids on a
615-mile oil pipeline stretching
from Haines to Fairbanks will be

mountainous or covered by mus
keg swamp.

easier to read a line of type when
the bottom half is covered up
than to read the same line with
the top half covered.
