been busy studying Ordinance 361

in electric power for the CAA
area.

fines and for traffic violations.

10 fire calls.

March of Dimes Drive
Starts Late In Nome Due
To Overdue Material
The March of Dimes campaign
started officially on January 1 all
over the U.S. and Alaska, but be
cause material necessary to carry
on the drive has not reached here
yet Mayor Anderson is delaying
the drive until this material ar
rives.
This is due to the fact that
Nome does not operate as head
quarters for the Second Division
as it should but was tacked onto
the Fairbanks headquarters a
couple of years ago.
This method has not proved
too efficient and for the second
year delays Nome’s participation
in this worthy cause.
NOTICE
A meeting will be held this
evening at the City Hall at 8:00
p.m. for the purpose of studying
a program for recreation of the
youth in Nome and at Nome Field.
Representatives of local organi
zations. churches and interested
persons are urged to attend.
The meeting is sponsored by a
committee of the Chamber of
Commerce.

ment of the young people.
Mr. Smith, who had come to
Nome for tho purpose of discuss
ing the subject of USO and com
munity recreation with its citi

the USO in Fairbanks.
In his remarks he mentioned
the fact that 40,000 boys are
served by the USO there. .The

the NCCS, YMCA, Salvation Ar

regulations of the USO and would
require the fullest cooperation of
all civic groups to be successful.
