MOVIE FILM OF
ALASKAN SCENES
Chief Carl Webb has made an
appeal for 16 mm. movie film on
Alaska, preferably of northern
Alaska subjects. The film will be
sent to the Columbia Broadcasting
System in New York City for use
in the June 29 TV show which
will feature Alaska with empha
sis on the need for a youth cen
ter at Nome and also featuring
three teen-agers from Nome in
Eskimo dances and the like.
Webb said the film will be per
fectly safe, it will not be mutilated
nor copied except for the one TV
show and he guarantees it will be
returned ih as good a shape as it
is received.
Sam Mogg has loaned his film
of an Arctic walrus hunt and the
U.S. Smelting Co. has made avail
able a film on gold mining. How
ever, Webb feels that more film
of native sports, hunting or like
subject matte** can be used. If
you have film you are willing to
lend, contact Chief Webb at the
j Police Station.
