EX-SERVICEMEN
HOLD MEETING
A meeting of the Nome Ex
Servicemen was held Monday eve
ning at the City Hall. Temporary
officers elected were: Jack Bul
lock, chairman; Paul Mandeville,
treasurer, and Ron Brousseau, sec
retary.
It is the hope of the Ex-Serv
men to acquire a suitable site and
building for a club house. A build
ing committee, composed of Jack
Bullock, Chuck O’Leary and Paul
Dryden, was appointed.
Due to the large number of ex
servicemen expected back in the
near future, the club is reluctant
to proceed too rapidly with plans,
preferring to await the arrival of
prospective members before tak
ing definite action.
