WELCOME PORTLAND!
A group of 17 or more Portland businessmen arrive
here tomorrow on a good will tour through Alaska.
Nome is happy to welcome them and the school
band will be on hand at the field to salute them.
The Chamber of Commerce has made plans to
give them a sample of some of the things winter tour
ists can do and enjoy during their short stay here.
Highway 97 is resplendent in all its winter glory
and the road is in excellent condition as far as it is
being kept open.
Dog teams will be on hand for rides in town or
out on Bering Sea where crab fishing through the ice
may be experienced by those who are interested.
We have no roses for our guests from the City of
Roses but we do have winter scenery such as they
will find in few other places in the world. We hope
they will like their stay so well that in their enthusiasm
they will bring more people from Portland to Nome
next year.
From a business standpoint we are sure the visit
will be profitable because Alaskans like to know the
people with whom they do business. The merchants
will welcome visits to their places of business from
the visitors.
The latchstring is out!
Time To Join The PTA
There are close to 600 students attending the Nome
Public Shool and Nome High School and the school is
still growing, its problems getting more complex each
year. This condition calls for closer cooperation be
tween teachers and parents.
Nome has a good Parent - Teachers Association
with a well planned program, yet we are shocked to
learn that only 25 families are represented on the
membership roster.
The teacher membership is almost 100 per cent,
which would indicate that the teachers are more in
terested in the children than the parents!
To have a representative program, to have a suc
cessful organization, its up to the parents to become
members of the PTA.
The monthly meeting of the PTA is to be held to
morrow evening and we urge those parents who have
not become voting members to attend and do so at
that time.
Your children are worth it, aren’t they?
Proposal To Realign Two
Major League Baseball
Clubs Gets Cool Reception
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., UP) —
Two separate proposals, one to
expand and the other to consoli
date the big leagues, drew mixed
reactions Saturday from baseball
officials.
A proposal by Del Webb, co
owner of the New York Yankees,
to realign the two major circuits
was received with coolness by, top
baseball officials.
Another suggestion, by owner
Lou Perini of the Milwaukee
Braves, to expand the American
and National Leagues to 10 clubs
in 1960, and eventually to 12, was
greeted with enthusiasm.
The re-alignment idea, which
Webb said he planned to push at
the next scheduled .major league
meeting in Washington during
the all-star game interval, would
embrace the changing of leagues
by Philadelphia and Kansas City.
The Phillies would become part
of the American League and the
Athletics would become a Nation
al* League entry.
This plan appeared doomed be
fore it gained any momentum.

110 mph Too Fast
For Freeway
WEST COVINA, Calif., m —
Mrs. Ghelsea Elgean Churchill, 37,
a nurse, may not have set a one
way speed mark on the San Ber
nardino Freeway but she should
have the round trip record in the
bag.
Police Sgt. Ralph Laughlin said
he and his partner clocked her
going eastbound through this Los
Angeles suburb at 110 miles an
hour, “gave her a ticket, gave
her a warning, and sent her on
her way.”
“Fifty-five minutes later,” he
said, “we see another streak going
west along the freeway. We clock
this car at 110 and catch up with
it. There’s the nurse. This time
we take her in.”
In court, Mrs. Churchill was
told to report Monday to start
serving a 15-day jail term.
