WATER TEMPERATURE AT
SERPENTINE CHANGES
According to Eddie Gross, who
just returned from the Serpentine
Springs, and is at the M. C. hos
pital, some geological changes
must have taken place in the vi
cinity of the springs which rad
ically altered temperature and
chemical contents of the water in
flow. Those who visited the
Springs will remember tempera
tures of the inflowing waters be
ing roughly 160° F. whereas at
this time a bare 110 degrees are
estimated. Furthermore, the wa
ter itself has a definite salty taste,
making its use for cooking pur
poses impossible, and when used
producing slight ill effects. Inter
ested people here at Nome may
arrange to have samples of wa
ter sent out for analysis, to deter
mine just what changes may have
taken place.
The March of Dimes campaign
for Infantile Paralysis has netted
the fund to date around $250.00.
according to Mrs. Gordon Osborne
who has been taking up the dona
tions. More however is coming in
she stated and the donations have
been turned over to the chairman,
Luther Dunbar.
