Methodist Church
Holds Quarterly
Conference
The Methodist Church Confer
ence was held last evening at the
church. Rev. Fred McGinnis, su
perintendent, was not able to be
present so the pastor conducted
the business session.
Reports were given by the var
ious church officers, highlights of
which were Ddecided progress in
the church school, 2) a marked in
crease in the total budget, and 3)
enlarging activity by the women’s
and youth groups.
Rev. Reeves Havens Jr., pastor,
reported for a three-year period.
A 65 percent increase in church
membership was indicated; ex
penditures during this period
amounted to $52,797, of which
$29,000 has been raised by the
local congregation.
Physical improvements that
were noted are the new parson
age, the Hammond electric organ,
a well-equipped office in the par
sonage, new choir robes, new
Bibles, hymnals, song books and
chairs, re-wiring of the sanctuary
and partial painting of the church
exterior.
One item of unusual interest
was the appraisal recently made
by Linn Forrest, Juneau archi
tect, of the old church property
in the light of a proposed remod
eling or rebuilding program. He
highly recommended to the local1
trustees and the church’s Division
of National Missions that a com
pletely new building be erected
rather than a remodeling of the
old one, inasmuch as the cost
would not be appreciably greater.
After the conference a time of
fellowship was enjoyed and re
freshments were provided by the
ladies of the Woman’s Society.
The officers and commissions
elected for the ensuing conference
year were:
Trustees: william uameron, |
Charles Fagerstrom, Wilbur Ar
nold, Robert Baldwin, and Roy

Mickey Jelke, Heir
To Oleo Fortune, Gets
2-3 Years for Pimping
NEW YORK, —Mickey Jelke
was given a prison sentence of
two to three years yesterday on
his conviction in the cafe society
vice case.
The sentence was imposed on
the young heir to an oleomargar
ine fortune after a 13-minute plea
by defense attorneys for leniency.
Jelke, who was tried twice, was
convicted of inducing Pat Ward
to live a life of prostitution and
of attempting to induce Mar
guarite Cordova to do the same.
His first conviction was thrown
out • because the trial judge ex
cluded press and public during
presentation of prosecution testi
mony.
Judge Francis L. Valente, who
heard both trials, said before the
sentencing there never had been
any question of Jelke’s guilt.
| He went on to say if Jelke was
sincere in attempts to rehabilitate
himself, as defense counsel had
indicated to the court, Jelke
would “accept the consequences
of his wrong-doing in an adult
way.” t
The 25-year-old oleo heir had
been accused by the prosecution
of seeking to augment his income,
pending the inheritance of mil
lions from his family’s fortune.
As the prison sentence was pro
nounced, Jelke turned white and
his lips tightened. HiS head
dropped. His brother sobbed.

Communication
To the Editor:
The members of the Nome City
Council may consider this letter
to be addressed to them, as well
as to the people of Nome. I pro
pose that the main street, now
known as Front Street, be re
named in honor of an early-day
Nome schoolboy who has since
gained national fame by his faith
ful and honorable services to our
country. All will know that I
have General James Doolittle in
mind. It could be named General
Doolittle Avenue. While on this
subject, I further propose, that
that portion of Third Ave. leading
into the city from the airport be
renamed Pioneer Avenue; that
that portion of First Ave., east
ward from Dry Creek to the Po
laris Hotel, be renamed Rex
Beach Avenue; that that portion
of Third Ave. eastward from B
Street be renamed Mike Walsh
Avenue.
I do not believe it will be nec
essary to have an ordinance cov
ering this renaming suggestion
enacted or new city plats made—
just have appropriate signs made
and posted in place of the present
signs. The cost will not be great
and the City of Nome will harvest
much good will from thousands
of future day visitors.
Yours very sincerely,
George R. Goshaw.
FAMED PSYCHOLOGIST
FINDS SIMPLE SOLUTION
TOPEKA, Kan., <.?>— Dr. Karl
Menninger, helping administer
Salk polio vaccine shots in a
grade school Wednesday, had
great success in convincing the
children the shots wouldn’t hurt
—until he reached third grader
Allen Burggren.
The noted psychiatrist used all
sorts of psychological persuasion
but 8-year-old Allen refused to
submit to the needle.
Finally Dr. Menninger reached
in his pocket and handed Allen a
nickle. It worked.
