Carrie McLain
Urges Museum
Built At Nome
By RUTH McLEAN
Carrie McLain, Nome’s ambas
sador of good will, spoke to the
members of the Northwestern
Alaska Chamber of Commerce at
their regular weekly meeting on
the need for a museum in Nome.
Mrs. McLain said that visitors
to Alaska whom she met in the
States on her year-long trip were
disappointed that Nome did not
have a museum and she found
former residents of the Seward
Peninsula were eager to contrib
ute items of historical interest
when a museum is established
here. In every large city on her
trip from coast to coast, Mrs. Mc
Lain visited museums and learned
that Eskimo and Indian artifacts
from Alaska were of keen interest
to all viewers.
*
Judge Walter Hodge and Mrs.
Hodge returned last week from
a trip down the west coast and to
the Hawaiian Islands, and Judge
Hodge told the Chamber members
that they found museums and
points of historical interest were
well attended and that visitors
were willing to pay small entry
fees to help support such endeav
ors. It was his belief that the An
chorage Historical Society will
answer questions concerning the
formation of such a society in
Nome.
Chamber President Jerry Man
ning asked the Board of Direc
tors to endorse a museum in
Nome and to offer all possible
assistance in the community
project.
The Board of Directors was
asked to meet and select a paid
delegate to send to the annual
convention of the Alaska Cham
ber of Commerce in Anchorage
October 23, 24 and 25.
The Membership Committee,
with Boyd Harwood as chairman,
will complete plans for the re
ception and entertainment of a
good-will tour group from the
Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce
on September 25.
Manager John McNees has re
c:ived many requests for pic
tures of Nome and the surround
ing area, from organizations and
companies in the States and other
countries, and he asks for contri
butions of pictures that can. be
made up in 8”xl0” glossy black
and white prints.
