John Solon, the well known
barber, moved today from the
Cavey building to his own new
ly constructed barbershop and
bath house two doors west, next
to the Nome Drug Store. His
barber shop is doing business at
the new stand now but John says
the grand opening of his bath
house ■will take place Saturday,
Sept. 11th, from 9:30 am to 9:30
pm., the public is invited to in
spect his new shop and baths,
consisting of tubs, showers and
steam baths.
It is reported that the Nome
radio station contacted the Soviet
Arctic weather base at the North
Pole, recently. We have always
maintained that Nome was a
strategic base, and that we are
nearer Europe and the Orient
than the "Heart of tlhe Golden
North.” That Nome is destined to j
be the jumping off place for fu- i
ture airliners enroute from New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles bound
for the Orient, Moscow and Lon-;
don, is only a matter of months,
certainly within the next year. I
This route with only 50 miles of
open water to cross will be found
to be the really safe and natural
route in the end.
Later
Mrs. Edna Christefferson Fix
is a recent arrival from Shelton
bringing the news of the finding
of the remains of John Land in
the Kougarok, details of which
will be published in tomorrow’s
issue.
