Large Ice Pressure Ridge
Forms In Front Of Town
Oldtimers and cheechakos alike
watched with interest the build
ing up of a large pressure ridge
in the ice in front of town not
far from shore Wednesday noon.
The ridge is now well grounded
and probably will remain for
some time. Camera fans have
been busy taking color pictures
as the contrasts have been very
unusual.
Harold Salisbury has sketched
the ridge in black and white and
the drawing is on display at
Polet’s Store.

words I wrote into Section 2 of
my Senate Bill which unanimous
ly passed Legislature. When push

as well as expediting Nome River
Road to Bunker Hill. Strongly
urge sufficient funds be allocated
for both these vitally needed
roads now—repeat—now. Senator
Howard Lyng.”
