Alaska Capable of
Sustaining 5.000,000
Population
Gus Norwood, executive secre
tary for the Northwest Public
Power Assn., of which the Nome
Light and Power Utilities is a
member, visited Nome for the
first time this week and looked
over the power situation here
with manager Howard Crinklow
who is as friend of long-standing.
In a recent address. in' Anchor
age, Norwood -called attention to
a statement by the Bureau of Re
clamation: “At least 5,000,000 peo
ple could be sustained on Alaska’s
resources. Norway, Finland and
Sweden, with the same latitude,
but more fully matured econ
omically, have a present popula
tion density of 2V6 to 5 times
greater than Alaska would have
with 5 million inhabitants. . . .
Ample low cost power is a prere
quisite of the development of a >
mature and balanced economy. It
is a magnet which attracts in
dustry, business and people.
Power is wealth. Alaska river j
systems could produce more than
50 billion kilowatt hours of en
ergy a year. This much power
would give 10 million people more !
than twice that now available to !
each person in the States.”
Alaskans ■ within the state’s
boundaries, must not only recog
hize these possibilities, Norwood
stated, but utilize every oppor
tunity to see that these possibil
itise are achieved.
He added that waste, low pro
ductivity and high cost of living
are related to the power short
age and the high cost of power.

Ricky Young Returns
From Boy Scout Jamboree
At Colorado Springs
Ricky Young, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ben Young returned yester
day from the Boy Scout Jamboree
at Colorado Springs. He was the
only Boy Scout from Nome to at
tend the Jamboree.
He enjoyed meeting with for
mer Nome boys, two of the sons
of Mr. and Mrs. John Cooley who
were in attendance as well as the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Lo
men who attended from Fair
banks.
Rickey states that it was very
hot, over 100 in the shade most
of the time at the encampment
and he had to spend some of his
time in sick bay because of the
heat, but he wouldn’t have missed
the fun and experience for any
thing, and it will be a trip he will
always remember.
He reports that Henry Oyou
mick of Troop 534 of Unalakleet,
stood up well under the heat al
though it was his first trip to
the smaller states.
Most impressive was the candle
light ceremony, stated Ricky, at
which the 58,000 Scouts were as
sembled and in their places in
35 minutes and as quickly dis
persed. Also a real treat was a
rodeo at which the Scouts were
divided in two groups.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Reed have
purchased the Dimmitt home on
Airport Road and have sold their
home on 3rd Ave. to Ash Craft.
Douglas Milland and Mary M.
Apok have applied for a marriage
license.
Mrs. Maurice Kelliher, Second
District representative on the
State Board of Education, left
yesterday for a meeting of the
Board at Juneau.
