City Clerk
Don Dickey Gives
Report on Work of State
Chamber of Commerce
Don Dickey, manager of the
State Chamber of Commerce gave
a report to the Nome Chamber on
the work of the State Chamber of
Commerce this past year showing
the many mutual things which
little and big towns of the state
have in common from the south
eastern to the far northern tips.
The need of a strong business
organization has been met by
this group which works toward
attracting business dollars.
Dickey had high praise for the
caliber of men who make up the
State Board of Directors of which
our Don Hoover is a member.
Another important function of
State Chamber has been the
handling of legislative matters
and keeping the member organi
zations throughout the state post
ed on the status of legislation, a
need which has existed over the
years.
The training of local people in
knowing more about the place in
which they live so they can an
swer questions of tourists intelli
gently has been worked out by
host schools in some of the larger
communities, he explained, with
excellent results.
Dickey met with (the Chamber
Board to line up the needs of
this part of Alaska in its econ
omic development so the State
Chamber can be prepared to assist
here when our opportunity de
velops.
