Forum Optimistic
Toward Future
Of Second Division
Ted Duffield, who represented
the Chamber of Commerce at the
Alaska Development Board forum
in Fairbanks last week, gave his
report yesterday noon at the
Chamber luncheon. He stated he
was given a splendid reception in
Fairbanks apd that the courtroom
was filled to capacity with inter
ested people for four full hours.
Duffield said he couldn’t at
tempt to cover all that was said,
but stressed the point that every
distinguished speaker had some
thing optimistic to say on the fu
ture development of the Second
Division.
Joseph Morgan of the Reclama
tion Bureau discussed the poten
tials of water power fo'r the Sec
ond and Fourth Divisions. He sta
ted definitely, Duffield reported,
that the hydro - electric project
surveyed at Salmon Lake will be
developed some day.
Robert Saunders of the Terri
toTial Bureau of Mines not only
discussed the big future in tin for
the Second Division but stressed
the importance of the proposed
Prospectors Aid Bill which will
come before the legislature. This
will be a boon to mining, as it
should open up many new parts
of the Second and Fourth Divi
sions.
The possibility of a new indus
try was discussed with enthusi
asm, Duffield stated, in the way

of whitefish, which apparently are
available in large enough quanti
ties for commercial development
and are available for fishing both
winter and summer. It was stated
there was sufficient quantities to
supply the Anchorage, Fairbanks
and Northwestern Alaska markets.
(This whitefish is different from
that found here. It is almost as
big as salmon and is found in the
Fourth Division.)
In relation to the aluminum in
dustry being established in the
Territory, Duffield also reported
that other metals required for
aluminum and thermo-electric
metals are likely to come out of
this part of the territory.
Another startling announcement
came from a farmer who told of
a new process of handling Alaska
grown potatoes. He stated that
heretofore Alaskan potatoes have
been inferior because of the high
water content. However, a method
of picking the potatoes while
green and storing them in cellars,
is producing potatoes of stateside
quality.
As to the Fairbanks-Nome high
way, Duffield said that in Fair
banks they no longer speak of it
as a possibility but as a necessity.
Duffield presented a resume of
Second Division’s needs. Being
the last speaker, he found that
the speakers preceding him had
covered some phase of our prob
lems.
One of the highlights of the
meeting was the presentation to
the Second Division’s member of
the Development Board, Antonio
Polet, of a plaque for 50 years of
distinguished service to Nome and
the Second Division. The plaque
was given to Alvin Polet for his
father, who is in Seattle.

Around Nome
By HARRY LUDBROOK
Years ago in a small lumber
town of northern Michigan, a
young man stood before his tar
paper shanty and watched tall
pines being felled and cut up into
logs. His eyes were not seeing the
pines, though, for he strode over
to where the woods boss stood
and asked that a double line of
saplings of maple be left standing.
The woods boss was astounded at
what he termed a “crazy request,”
but he humored the man and the
small trees were left standing.
Later, the young man took his ax
and thinned the saplings out until
they were equidistant and lined
each side of the path leading to
the town.
Today those saplings are wide
spreading maples whose leafy
branches bring joy and comfort
to 30 or more families living on
Maple Street. That young man
who had vision has been dead for
quite some time but his name is
enshrined in the hearts of his fel
low citizens for all time — not
alone because of an idea, but be
cause he followed through with
that idea. He made something
tangible from a good thought by
taking advantage of an opportu-'
nity; and he did it because he
loved his future neighbors. He
wanted them to have beauty and
comfort and something pleasing
and restful to their eyes: The fam
ilies who built homes behind
those maples carried on his
scheme of improvement. They
built homes that were sturdy and
pleasant to see, they raised sturdy
children, too, and somehow, the
laughter of the children on Maple
Street seemed just a little more
joyous than that of other streets
in town.
Figuratively speaking, Nome
too, could have a “Maple Street”
if it cared to put forth a little
effort and foresight. But Nome
first has to learn the joys of
giving without expecting a thou
sand percent in return the next
day or the next year! Nome has
to learn how NOT to be selfish!
If jmu have a good idea send it
to Box 585, Nome, and it will be
passed on to all the people every
week. Obey that impulse: WRITE
NOW!
Ron Brousseau, formerly of
Nome, arrived from Seattle yes
terday. He is Seattle office man
ager for Wien Airlines and is on
a business trip in connection with
the new service being announced
by Wien, known as ocean-rail
plane freight service from Seat
tle to' Nome, with a 17 cents per
pound rate. This arrangement has

Van Lines. Brousseau is busy
checking the receiving end of the
service.
