New Asphalt
Street For Visitors

ors but yesterday Nome did the
unusual and rolled out a new as
phalt street for Chloe Gifford,
president of the General Federa

her party were guests of the local i
women’s club, the Home Arts!
Club,, at a noon luncheon.
Miss Gifford, who is an attor
ney and member of the faculty of
the University of Kentucky,
stressed the power of groups of
women who take a definite stand
for worthy projects. She urged
the women of Nome to study and
participate in their community
which in turn makes a stronger
nation.
Miss Gifford has taken a leave
of absence from the University
during her term of office with the
Federation.
She stated that women of today
can no longer be satisfied to sit |
within the walls of their home,
but are faced with the responsib
ility of living internationally.
Miss Gifford, who organized the
International Manila Conference
of Free Women, with representa
tives from all free Asiatic coun
tries, told how well educated,
astute and broadminded these
Asiatic women are and what they
are doing to improve the condi
tions in their own countries. Over
500 women attended the confer
ence.
Mrs. Leslie Wright, tour direc
tor for the group, has worked
with the statehood movement in
the Federation program since it
was started and,expressed the op
inion that now she has seen the
new state she is overwhelmingly
proud of the time and effort she
gave to the cause.
The group of 20 continued on
to Kotzebue yesterday afternoon
with Wien Airlines. —
