Nome Explorer Scouts
Go to Kodiak Encampment
Explorer Scouts Bill Boucher,
Jr., and Dean Martin took off from
Marks Air Force Base Saturday
afternoon for Fairbanks, where
they are scheduled to join other
troops from the Midnight Sun dis
trict.
Their transportation was made
possible through the courtesy of
the UjS. Air Force.
For a while it was uncertain
whether or not the Air Force
would be able to pick up the boys,
so Rotary Club of Nome gener
ously offered to pay the fares of
these two explorers to Fairbanks
so they would not lose <the oppor
tunity of taking part in the All
Alaska encampment at Kodiak.
In addition to a full program of
lectures and demonstrations on
aircraft, weather, survival equip
ment, helicopter rescue, etc., by
the U.S. Naval Base, the 150 boys
will be guests at a co-ed dance
sponsored by the city of Kodiak
at the Ski Chalet with music by
the Naval Station band.
Sponsoring the boys for the city j
will be a committee from the Elks
Dodge Rotary Club, and Cham
ber of Commerce. The boys will
be taken on a tour which will in
clude a visit to canneries, the
Russian church and other historic
places of interest.
