CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
j
Last evening the election of
board members meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce was held
at the Pioneer Hall with President
Bud Harper presiding.
Secretary George Beacom gave
a resume of Chamber activities
for the year which covered a wide
field of active participation in
j many problems before the eom
; munity and Division. Some of the
j most important being the break
water for Nome; assisting in find
ing and fit ing suitable temporary
hospital quarters after the fire
last spring; assistance in A.D.B.
economic survey, intensive hous
ing project; active participation
with Bureau of Reclamation dur
ing their investigation of power
sites; study of moral conditions
and recommendat ions thereof;
send-off for courtesy trip of Mary
Ann Amarok to Honolulu; and
legislative program.
Treasurer Steve Anderson re- .
ported on the financial standing
of the organization and made
recommendations for the coming
year.
Mr. Margraf who has been ac
tive since the last meeting on the
liquor bill before the Legislature,
reported that he had been busy
passing petitions and declared
that he could get hundreds of
signatures in favor of liquor con
trol of wholesale liquor so that |
about $7,000,000, stated Mr. Mar
graf, now going to Seattle would j
remain in the Territory.
The nominating committee pre- j
sented the names of Ted Duffield,
Gordon Osborne and Paul Mande
ville for directors of the organiza
tion for the next three years, all
of whom were unanimously elec
ted.
A. Polet complimented outgoing
president Bud Harper for his ac
tivities in behalf of the Chamber
BRITISH TOLD TO
GET OUT OF HOSPITALS
LONDON, (/P) —“The Lancet”
British Journal of Medicine, urges
that ailing Britons should leave
hospitals more quickly in order to
relieve the general over-crowding.
It says:
“Nobody should occupy an or
dinary hospital bed after he has
become fit to be moved to some
less elaborate, ancillary institution
—a convalescent home, a reable
ment centre or a hostel for old
people—or to his own home.”
and for the wholehearted manner
in which he carried on the Cham
ber program. Also for laying out
such a good foundation that the
next board will be able to take
over without difficulties.
He called attention to the fact
that the Northwestern Alaska
Chamber of Commerce is one of
the oldest irr the U. S. A., being
about 45th on a roster of thou
sands of Chambers throughout the
country.
A memorial was read on the
mining bonus of $15.00 per ounce
as presented at the Legislature by
Howard Lyng, and after consider
able discussion by most of the
members present was approved.
In regards to a matter present
ed by C. of C. of Southeastern
Alaska concerning a protest there
that no hearing had been held by
the International Fisheries Com
mission in Alaska, the Chamber
moved to endorse Ketchikan’s
plea for the necessary hearing in
all fairness to the increasing hali
but industry in that area.
A motion was made by Jim
Fi ve that the unemployment com
pensation office for this Division,
which was removed be again es
tablished, as it is not fair to the
wage earners in this Division to
have to handle their problems all
by mail. The Chamber went on
record as being unanimously in
favor of this action.
