the circumstances in order that
construction may be discontinued
at once at the least possible ex
pense to the government.”
Considerable controversy had
developed between the navy and
the air force over plans to build
the big carrier. The air force con
tended the navy was attempting
to invade the field of strategic
bombing by building a ship that
could launch bombers almost as
big as B-29’s.
The navy so far has spent about
$6,000,000 on the preliminary en
gineering work for the carrier.
The total estimated cost has risen
from an original $124,000,000 to
$189,000,000.
The cost of cancelling the con
tract with the Newport News
Shipbuilding corporation couldn’t
be estimated immediately.
Although the keel for the ship
was laid last Monday, it was
learned Saturday that orders for
supplies and parts were stopped
about 10 days ago.

Help Ice Rink,
Buy Queen Contest
Tickets Now
-. . *
There will be solicitors around
town during the next two weeks,
asking you to give toward the ice
skating rink for Nome. For each
dollar you give you will receive a
ticket which entitles you to Free
admission to the Annual Carnival
to be held at the High School gym
Saturday night, May 7th at 7:30.
There will be prizes and fun for *
everyone so be sure and come, it
entitles you to cast 100 votes for
your favorite entrant in the Queen
Contest and gives you a chance to
win $500.00 cash whether you are
present for the drawing or not.
The reality of the Ice Rink is
dependent upon the people of
Nome and Marks AFB. So if you’d
like to see an ice skating rink in
Nome BUY A QUEEN TICKET, '
and if you’d like to see it built
with an asphalt base for tennis
courts, a good wooden fence for a
wind break, flood lights and a
warm-up shack, then BUY SEV
ERAL QUEEN TICKETS.
If any individual or firm or or
ganization can give ANY reason
why Nome should not have this^
rink and tennis court or why ev
ery individual, business man. club
or organization should not give
toward it and give PLENTY we’ll
give you a dozen reasons (and bet
ter ones) why they should. It is to
be a municipal rink for the use
of everyone and we, The Arctic
Club believe that it will be espe
cially useful in curbing juvenile J
delinquency.
SO DIG DOWN AND GIVE!
And remember there is also a
JUNIOR QUEEN Contest! For
particulars call Alice Osborne.
