Mercury Vaper Lights
Installed On Bering St.
Four new mercury vapor lights
have been added to the city street
lighting system on Bering Street,
illuminating most adequately the
way to the hospital, it was an
nounced by Howard Crinklow,
Power and Light Utilities man
ager.
This makes a big improvement
on one of the most used streets in
the community which has long
been in need of such an improve
ment. Crinklaw added that the
lights were placed lower than
some of the others to give better
lighting and it is hoped that par
ents will instruct their children
that these lights are costly and
if Nome is to continue to have
more of these lights they must not
be used as targets.
The new lights are of 100 kilo
watts — somewhat smaller than
others in use, and each light is
activated by its own separate
photo-electric cell.

Strengthen Schools
For 60’s Is Theme
Of Education Week
“Strengthen Schools for the
60’s,” the theme this year for Am
erican Education Week, heralds
the week’s opening next Sunday,
Nov. 6. The Nome Department of
Education, from the Board of Ed
ucation to the littlest first grader,
is preparing to add momentum to
the national program.
American Education Week,
which was first observed in 1921
as part of a plan “for securing
for America a program of educa
tion adequate to meet the needs
of the Twentieth Century, and
which will give every boy and
girl that training and equipment
which is rightfully his under our
democratic government,” has bur
geoned each year until in 1959
thirty million interested adults
visited the nation’s schools during
Education Week. Many other mil
lions were reached through radio,
television, newspapers, posters,
and booklets.
Every teacher and administra
tor in the Nome Public Schools
wishes to help make the com
munity more aware of the im
portance of an adequate educa
tion program in a democracy, and
to that end they are inviting the
parents and the public to an open
house at school on the evening of
Nov. 9. Every instructor will be
in his room to greet visitors, and
many teachers will have students
present in order to demonstrate
lessons and work situations; it
will be remembered that during
last year’s successful open house,
similar classes were conducted.
Good schools are the personal
responsibility of each member of
our community. Visit your child’s
room, meet his teacher, and help
make American Education Week
this year a powerful force for
education’s advancement!

DEMOCRATS TURN
OUT FOR RALLY
HERE MONDAY
At the Democratic rally held
Monday evening, Sen. Bob Bart
lett was given a standing ovation
in recognition of the work he has
accomplished in Congress over
the 14 years he served as Dele
gate and as the first Senator
from Alaska. Outstanding ac
complishment, according to Bart
lett, was the passing of the State
hood Bill, and second, the Men
tal Health Bill. To this should be
added, according to his constitu
ents and others present, the Bart
lett amendment to the Federal
Highway Act, which gives match
ing funds of 95-to-5 on road build
ing funds.
Another big achievement voiced
with credit going both to Bart
lett and Rep. Ralph Rivers, as
well as Sen. Ernest Gruening,
who was not present, was the
funds made possible for the com
pletion of the International Air
ports at Fairbanks and Anchor
age, which will be self-supporting.
Bartlett has had more bills
passed than any other person in
the Senate—a total of 212 since
going to Washington to represent
Alaska.
Ralph Rivers, representative to
Congress and a candidate tor re
election, called attention to the
fact that Alaska was no pauper
state, that it is now producing
oil and, just getting started in
its productivity.
Don Perkins, master of cere
monies, stated that “Alaska was
a Democratic stronghold because
Alaskans are progressive” and
called upon all the candidates on
the Democratic ticket to speak,
including:
State Sen. Lester Bronson and
State Rep. Charles Fagerstrom,
both up for re-election.
Rep. Bob Blodgett was not pre
sent to make the ticket complete,
as he was weather - bound at
Northeast Cape. Blodgett was rep
resented by his wife, who made
the flight from Teller to attend
the rally here with her husband.
State Sen. John McNees, not up
for re-election at this time, gave
a run-down on the importance of
voting favorably on all the bond
ing issues on the ballet next week.
The multipurpose room was
filled to capacity with Democrats
and some Republicans and many
of no party.
Refreshments were served after
the successful rally.
Chief Oliver Goes to Fairbanks
Chief of Police Robert Oliver
has been called to Fairbanks as
a witness before the Grand Jury
now in session there. During his
absence, he stated Jim Carter will
be acting chief with Don McKay
as night patrolman.
