Kotzebue News
The arrival of the Alaska
Steamship Coastal Monarch into
Kotzebue Sound brought the
usual buzz of activity in the vil
lage. At one time seven loaded
barges were at the beach for dis
charging including three brought
up by the B & R Tug and Barge
Co. loaded with freight from, the
Coastwise Seafair Nome dis
charge. The two lighterage com
panies of Kotzebue consolidated
their equipment for as rapid dis
charge of the freighter as possible.
Jack Dillon, Alaska Steam agent
at Nome, is in Kotzebue during
this work and Clarence Tjarnagel
is supervising the beach work and
checking for the two lighterage
companies.
Kotzebue had an opportunity to
welcome their new Deputy Mar
shal, Stanton Jones of California,
recently when he, with Maurice
Kelliher, Nome Deputy, stopped
in the village enroute to Nome to
report for duty. Mrs. Jones, who
is visiting friends in Nome tor
a few days, will accompany her
husband to Kotzebue upon his re
turn.

A recent special meeting of
members of the Arctic Circle
Chamber of Commerce was called
by President E. S. Rabeau to
meet with Delegate Bartlett to
discuss problems of the rapidly
growing Arctic village. The meet
ing was preceded by a reindeer
steak dinner at the Rotman Apart
ment. A pleasing conclusion to
the evening meeting was when
Delegate Bob announced his de
sire to become an active member
of the group. He stated he was
an honorary member of the An
chorage Chamber of Commerce
and would like to be an active
member of America's farthest
north Chamber of Commerce. His
request was enthusiastically met.

Ted Olson, partner in the N.G.
Hanson Trading Company and
brother of Mrs. Hanson, has made
his annual appearance with the
arrival of the freighter. Ted is
becoming as much a resident of
Kotzebue as he is of his native
Seattle.

Through the untiring efforts of
Mrs. Marshall Hoppin, president
of the ACCA, and local resi
dents, and the fine cooperation
of Tony Schwamm, director of
the Territorial Board of Aviation,
Kotzebue will have a community
building this fall when it is
brought from Cape Spencer by
the B & R Tug and Barge Co.
The project, originally started by
the local chapter of ACCA, has
had the ardent support of Mrs.
Hoppin, Anchorage, who felt the
amazing response of the people of
this Arctic village to all Crippled
Children benefits should be ack
nowledged practically. The great
est problem of all local ACCA
activities has been lack of space
for the popular support of all
residents of the village. Every in
dividual in the village will be
called on to help get the building
ready for use this winter, and
plans are already under way for
an early carnival, bingo games,
etc., to raise funds for equipment
and furnishings.

one time active politically in Ju
neau.
