Girl Scout News
(Donna Travis. Troop Reporter)
The second group to go on the
overnight trip to Mandeville’s
cabin at Dexter, went out last Fri
day.
We did quite a bit of hiking out
there and did eleven miles toward
the hundred miles we have to do
to get our foot traveler’s badge.
Mrs. Mandeville took us on a
jeep ride after supper Friday
night. We went to the end of the
road and hack. On the way we
met Mrs. Hay and Mrs. Glavino
vitch. We finally got to bed and
told ghost stories.
We got up at seven the next
morning and got all our things
ready to leave that afternoon. We
hiked, picked flowers and waded
in the creek.
On the way back we didn’t talk
much. (We were all a little tired).
the Kremlin are gambling on the
possibility that the United States
which alone can thwart her ma
chinations, will be timorous when
it ought to be bold, will be hesi
tant when it ought to move swift
ly, will pursue a policy of econo
mic assistance which, for reasons
’i
of economy, will be grudging, in
adequate and belated. Russia is
also reckoning on the confusion of
the American minds whose por
tent is Henry Wallace.
If Russian calculations are right,
if her present maneuvers succeed,
Russia will be the master of Eu
rope.
The next three months may de
cide the fate of Europe.
INDIAN TRIBES TO
BECOME CITIZENS
I
Certificates of .citizenship will
be issued to all Indians of the
Tsimshian Tribe and all Metlakat-1
Ians who emigrated from Metla-'
katla, British Columbia, to An
nette Island who were made citi
zens by act of Congress in 1934
if a bill sponsored by Delegate
Bartlett becomes law.
I The measure has received the
support of the Indian Affairs *ub
comm.ttee and will be favorably
reported to the full House public
lands committee. The benefits of,
! the bill also apply to all other1
British Columbia Indians who
joined the Metlakatlans not later
than January 1, 1900*, and who be
came citizens under the same pet
of Congress.
The bill was amended to pro
vide the issuance of the documents
by the Immigration and' Natural-,
ization service rather than by the
District Court of Alaska.
The legislation seeks to aid In
dians who have subsequently left
Metlakatla, Alaska, and have been
asked to submit proof of their cit
izenship. It is understood certifi
cates issued by the Alaska Native
Service are not always recognized
as sufficient proof.

Hq. Det. is finally getting some
of its long idle bunks filled, as
more and more pencil pushers
drop in. We wish to take this
means to welcome all you fellas
to Nome and to Hq. Det. Hope you
enjoy your stay here. Fishing
poles are becoming the greater
part of Hq’s night life. Everybody,
it seems, has one and most of the
boys make good use of them. Once
in awhile they even catch fish.
The AACS has been suffering
from a case of growing pains from
our muscle-building PT, lately.
Quite a number of the personnel
have been roaming about the
countryside enjoying the unusual
I ly fine weather we have been hav-.
ing lately. We have quite a few j
men also enjoying the facilities of
the Post Hobby Shop and Library.;
i A great deal of the men were i
working, as were most of the older j
men of the base, unloading the1
first ship to arrive in Nome this i
summer.
The Engineers have received 21
new men, and with the arrival of j
ships with supplies, it looks like,
they arrived just in time. Some of j
the men started working the other
night. The Engineer’s first league 1
game was postponed. The next
game will be with the Signal
Corps, tonight. Part of the team
will probably play in the midnight
game Saturday night. Several
others intend to spend the night in j
the mountains to see the midnight ]
sun.
Two men were' added to the
strength of the Signal Corps the
other day. Alessin J. Guido is
from New York City and Edward
Daniels hails from Tennessee. We|
hope they will enjoy their little j
visit to Nome. T/5 Bollinger left j
Nome to be discharged, and then
off to good old Pennsylvania. He I
is also a great loss to the Signal j
softball teams. The men of Signal
wish him all the luck in the world
in civilian life.
The Quartermaster outfit fin
ished unloading the first water;
shipment of goods last Wednesday
night. They had the last load to
take off the ship and the ship set!
sail as soon as they had finished.
The men are now busy trying to
catch up on their sleep. QM re
ceived two new men in the last
bunch to arrive at Nome. The first
league game for QM will be
played Sunday, with the Medic
PM team.
The Detachment 10th Rescue re- j
cently welcomed a lieutenant and'
a sergeant to its folds. They are
2nd Lt. Roger P. Stewart, former
ly of Shemya, and Sgt. Riston R.
Shelley. The Squadron is antici
pating a very gallant occasion cel
ebrating the midnight sun of June
21. First on the agendum is the
NCO dance, which will be prior
to the midnight sofeball game.
After that the celebration will re
turn to the dance. The combined
team of the 10th Rescue and 53rd
Airways will be represented by
five men on the Post team.
The staff of Special Service
were augmented this week by T/
Sgt. George C. McKinney. Sgt.
McKinney Will have charge of the
sports program this summer.
The horseshoe courts have been
installed and are receiving a lot
of attention, there are several hot
contenders endeavoring to qual

kan Department horseshoe tourna
ment in July.
