U. S. Will Establish
Arctic Weather
Stations
WASHINGTON, Sep. 19—(TP)—
Legislation to establish weather
stations in the Arctic region of the
Western Hemisphere in coopera
tion with other governments was
approved by the Senate Commerce
Committee. Senator Brewster, au
thor of the bill said much weather
affecting United States could be
foretold if the proper stations
were set up in the Arctic in co
operation with Canada and other
countries. “Russia has two hun
dred forty stations in the Arctic
and we have practically none,”
Brewster said.

Territorial School Opened |
"
Nome Territorial School
opened with an enrollment of 175
pupils. 132 are in the grades and
53 are high school students. It has
been evident that there are fresh
men, as they have been on the
streets attired in rubber boots and ■
miscellaneous odd raiment.
His School Days
As soon as the students were j
settled in school, a meeting was'
held by the student body. At this I
meeting a group composed of three
sophomore girls, one sophomore
boy and one senior boy, was
chosen for the initiation commit
tee. This committee immediately
held a meeting, and decided what
the Freshman students were to
wear during Initiation Week.
Many unique costumes were
seen in the school house.
Plans have been made for the
party which is to be held Friday
evening. At this party the fresh
men will receive the “final
works.”
