- Road Bulletin -
A small construction force has
taken advantage of the favorable
■weather of the last weeks and
has advanced Route 97 to Mile
25 of the Seward Peninsula R.R.
This is right at Christian Creek.
Motorists can now drive to this
point without difficulty. Those
more determined can continue to
the U.S. Roadhouse with a pickup
or truck. These last t&o and a
half miles are over partially con
structed sections and over river
bars.
This work is being directed by
foremen Barney Crosby, Clarence
Trigg and J. Carroll. Their activ
ities are being coordinated by
Resident Engineer Nick Lean who
also administers the contract
•work being performed by the Q
Trucking Co.
Those persons planning to visit
this area are cautioned to slow
down when going through sec
tions under actual construction as
the heavy equipment leaves the
road somewhat bumpy. However,
elsewhere it is generally safe to
approach the speed limit of 50
mph along the sraight portions of
the road.
Maintenance crews have been
having a difficult time keeping
the surface of other roads smooth
as the ARC does not have enough
motor graders to keep up with
the heavier-than-usual traffic —
particularly on the Nome-Council
road.
This road has been opened past
the East Fork of the Solomon
river. Severe damage to the
Shovel Creek bridge necessitates
fording Solomon river about a
mile below Lee’s camp and again
right at the camp. Repairs will
be made to the bridge as soon as
materials become available.
Glaciers and snowdrifts in the
East Fork of Solomon river have
receded sufficiently for mainten
ance crews to begin opening the
road through this area. Under the
direction of foreman John Nor
bert the road should be opened
to Coucil in five or six days
if nothing unforeseen occurs.
The above road bulletin was
issued today by Frank Morris;
district engineer for the Alaska
Road Commission at Nome.

WON IN W. GERMANY
FOR NATO ARMY
BONN, Germany (J’l—The upper
house of the West German’Parl
iament today put final legislative
approval on a bill to draft men

approval July 7.

tion bill—even by such a close
vote—marked a major victory for
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s
policy of arming West Germany
in the Atlantic alliance.

I WHAT TO LOOK FOR I
IN A TV SET
I
Buying a television set in Nome
is no different than buying a tele
vision set anywhere else. You
want a set that will give you a
good picture, good sound and will
operate with a minimum of ser
vice. The following guide points
out tlflngs to look for and things
to avoid. It applies to all makes
and models.
In some areas of the city the
voltage occasionally is loW. The
transformerless type of TV re
ceiver will not operate at less
than 107 volts and the picture be
comes rather dim at less than 1*2
volts. Full transformer operated
sets are not nearly so critical.
Practically every TV manufac
turer produces two lines of TV
sets. One is the economy and low
priced line and the other is the
deluxe chassis. In most of the
economy sets the tubes are oper
ated at much higher voltages than
in the deluxe lines. This is neces
sary because in the economy line
there are usually fewer tubes and
they must work harder to perform
their task. This means that while
the economy set may cost less in
k_
! the beginning it will be more
costly to maintaiif over a period
I of years. In most cases, however,
the economy set will produce a
picture that is just as satisfactory
as the deluxe receiver.
The size screen you purchase
should be governed by the size of
the room in which you will install
the set. The 24-inch screen has
the same picture as the 17-inch or
smaller screen. It is just stretched
a little more. On a 24-inch screen,
unless you sit about 10 feet from
the screen, the scanning lines are
apparent and detract from the
enjoyment of the program. On
the smaller sets you can sit much
closer. Of course more people can
watch a larger screen at the same
time.
You can depend on any of the
name brand, nationally advertised
receivers to give you good service.
In many cases television receivers
have appeared on the market
with unknown names that have
been very poor examples of the
electronic art.
Wilson Will Use Some of
Extra $900 Million
Added to Air Funds
WASHINGTON, OP)—Secretary
of Defense Wilson says he plans
to use some of the extra $900 mil
lion the Democratic Congress
added to air funds requested by
President Eisenhower.
Wilson stated his intentions in
a letter to Sen. Symington. At the
same time, he denied “there were
inconsistencies” between his own
testimony and that of top air offi
cers as to what is needed to keep
America ahead in the air power
race. He did concede there were
differences of view but said that
was natural.
Wilson repeated his view that
“in our over-all -air strength we I
are ahead of the Russians today”
and added he and other adminis
tration leaders plan to keep that
lead.
With regard to the extra money
which Congress voted early on
the basis of needs reported by air
generals, Wilson said it would be
helpful to let the American peo
ple know that “I do not propose
to impound” the funds.

Elizabeth Taylor
Separates From Husband
After 4 Years Marriage
HOLLYWOOD, (/P)—After four
and a half years of marriage and
two children, actress Elizabeth
Taylor and Michael Wilding have
decided to separate.
The couple plans a legal separ
ation but no divorce at this time,
her studio announced Wednesday.
The announcement surprised no
one. Hollywood has been buzzing
with rumors for a year that there
was trouble between the beauti
ous 24-year-old star and Wilding,
20 years her senior.
The Wildings, both British born,
married in London Feb. 21, 1952.
Their children are Michael How
ard, 3, and Christopher Edward, 1.
$25 Savings Bond
Offered for Best
Campaign Slogan
WASHINGTON, (tfl—Rep. Oli
ver P. Bolton (R-Ohio) offered a
$25 U.S. savings bond Thursday
to the person mailing him what
he considered the best 1956 fam
paign slogan for the Republican
Party.
Bolton said President Eisen
hower’s phrases—“dynamic con
servatism” and “progressive mod
erates”—haven’t caught on.
What’s needed, he said, is some
thing as effective as President
Roosevelt’s “New Deal” or Presi
dent McKinley’s “full dinner
pail.”
Deadline in Bolton’s contest is
July 31.
