Golddusters Club
“Election fever” which seems
to hit club members everywhere
kept many Golddusters home
from their September meeting
held at the home of Janice G9
sho. The quorum which was just
barely reached consisted of pres
ent officers and those of two
years ago and so several absent
members were elected to office
and we predict better attendance
at other election meetings — if
only to protest nominations.
Marylou Marsh was elected
president. She will represent the
Golddusters at Short Course.
Leann Dodds is the alternate
delegate if the president is un
able to attend. Jane Payne was
elected vice president. Phyllis
Dong will serve as secretary, re
porter and our financial affairs
will be managed by treasurer,
Betty Crowther. Faith Krause
will keep the club scrap book
with all members contributing
mementoes and pictures.
We are proud Marjorie Meddles
won a scholarship to Short
Course as a reward for her many
fine contributions to our own
club and that of the Council.
Faith Krause will also attend
Short Course and with three
members attending some fine
reports and lessons should be
brought back to benefit the
whole club.
Jane Payne and Faith Krause
will serve on the planning com
mittee for the year’s program.
Members are asked to call them
if there is anything special they
would like to learn this year.
Many compliments were given
our first prize booth at the Fair
which also will go to the Short
Course. Thapks to all who con
tributed time and ideas. All
Golddusters wish to thank last
year’s officers for successful and
interesting year.

News-Miner Planning
Eighth Annual
Progress Edition ,
The Fairbanks Daily News
Miner is preparing their eighth
annual progress edition to be
distributed November 6 with a
prime objective of attracting the
tourists to Alaska.
The News-Miner is making an
all-out effort toward doubling
the 1957 tourist volume in 1958
and subsequent years. The “Dis
cover Alaska” edition this year
will devote 144 pages many of
them in color to portraying in as
comprehensive a manner as pos
sible, the most important tourist
attractions throughout the entire
Territory.
Cal Sunderland, progress edi
tion production manager states
that the primary purpose is to
portray Alaska to the prospec
tive visitor in the United States
and aiouse his interest to the
point where “Mr. Tourist” will
start planning a family vacation
I in 1958 centered around explor
ing the many wonders Alaska has
to offer.
An enclosed brochure pointed
out that minimum circulation
will be 50,000 copies—including
every major travel agency in the
United States and principal
foreign countries; every principal
chamber of commerce; all prin
cipal libraries throughout the
country; every university lib
rary, and every triple AAA of
fice in the United States. “From
past experience we know that
thousands of these copies will be
placed in permanent files—and
will be exciting interest in Alas
ka for several years to come,”
Sunderland said.
Business firms have been invit
ed to participate in the special
edition by placing advertise
ments. The deadline on copy for
ads is October 15. Anyone having
above-average photos of Alas
kan tourist attractions they
would like to see used in the
editorial columns of the edition
are inv ted to send them to the
