Plans Special Features ’
To Entertain Tourists
Plans for the entertainment of
the tourists who are already be
ginning to* arrive were discussed
at a meeting of tourist committee
heads last evening at the City
Hall.
Special features for the summer
include oomiak rides on Bering
Sea, charter trips to Sledge Island
to see the bird rookeries, charter
trips to Diomede, and beach min
ing, native dances, native sports.
There will also be trips into
the country to see the historic
spots where fortunes were made
in the early days and botanical
wonders. Several more new ideas
are in progress but are not ready
for announcement.
Jim Chadwick, of the AVA,
stressed the importance of a more
friendly attitude to tourists, not
only bv those who come in con
tact with them in a business way
but by everybody in the commu
nity. He said a kind word or
suggestion to them as to how to
spend their time leaves a lasting
impression on visitors far away
from home.
Carrie McLain, who has been
making a list of available beds
for an overflow of tourists, has
submitted the list to the hotels
for use when necessary. She sta
ted that anyone not contacted,
who has a bed in their home
which mi~ht be used for emergen
cies, should get in touch with her.
Other cities in the territory
have been doing the same thing
for several years to assist with
the housing shortage.
The name of the local group
will be the Nome Visitors Assn.
