Juneau Woman
Soloes Seaplane
Is Then Ducked
(By The Associated Press)
JUNEAU, July 14, — Shirley
Simmons, wife of pilot Sheldon
Simmons made a ten minute solo
flight here Monday, it being said
she was the first woman ever to
solo in the history of Alaska av
iation.
She took off from the transport
hangar in Gastineau Channel fly
ing the Clubs seaplane and after
flying around made a perfect
three point landing.
A large crowd was gathered at
the hangar, and she participated
in the christening ceremony fol
lowing the first solo flight, being
thrown into the channel. She
was permitted to change from a
dress to a pair of overalls.
Editors Note—Other women
in Alaska have soloed much ear
lier than Mrs. Simmons: namely,
Mrs. Edna Christofferson of Nome
three years ago, and Mrs. Thyra
Merrill, of Anchorage, wife of the
late Russell Merrill, who met
death in 1929 flying out of Anch
orage.

Council Meeting
i Not As Warm As
First Expected
Some of the predictions about
I last night's city council meeting
did not come true as far as
| “hot-stuff” breaking loose is con
[ cerned.
What was meant yesterday when
| some one said “things should be
I hot” still remains unknown, al
j though the off-debated question
of local labor on the new school
building now under construction,
' came before the councilmen once
i more and received a thrashing
: out. to some extent.
Other business affairs of the
council included communications
one from Dr. R. D. Forbes of the
King County Medical Association
) introducing Dr. Thomas Marcum
to Nome. Dr. Marcum arrived
here some time ago. The letter
; carried some extremely highly
|complimentary remarks as to Dr.
I Marcum’s record and reputation
; while associated there.
i A telegram from the Liquor
Board requested the council’s re
' action as to the new regulation
i of closing the sale and consump
jti in of intoxicating beverages be
! tween the hours’of 1 and 7 A.M.
each day. The council instruct
| ed the clerk to inform the board
•that they were better satisfied
with the Nome ordinance which
included the closing hours from
2 to 8 A.M. each day.
Father Cunningham of the St.
Joseph Catholic Church sent in a
request for some lumber and that
he would attend to the labor, in
the construction of a side-walk
in front of the Catholic Church.
The request was granted.
Several other minor affairs
were brought to the attention of
the council and disposed of.
Considerable discussion ensued
regarding the proposed survey of
a revetment along the south side
of Nome on Bering Sea from the
jetties at Snake River to the oil
dock east. Numerous ones took
the attitude that it would do the
property owners no good who
{owned property in the northern
i section of the city and therefore
! could see no reason to appropri
| ate city funds for this survey.
Others were of the opinion that
there might be a possibility of
obtaining nearly $100,000 for the
| project and that it would be a
great asset to the city to have
this insurance. The council fin
ally took action appropriating
not to exceed $400 to be expend
ed in obtaining a survey which
could be placed before Colonel
* ■ 1 —
Wilde of the U. S. Sngineers
; when he arrives in Nome early
in August, and Engineer Robert
E. Lyle was appointed to perform
the survey.
The subject of clearing the
title of the Nome Motor Com
pany real estate was brought to
the attention of the council and a
committee was appointed to co
operate with Manager Bud Har
per in settling the matter of re
adjustment of property resultant
from the affairs of the 1934 fire.
Judges and Clerks of Election
for the General Election to be
held September 8th were appoint
ed and include Jack Starr, Fred
Cook and H. E. Moon as judges,
and Henry Hannon and L. L.
Maloney as clerks.
A committee was appointed to
look into the matter of the city
warehouse, which it was under
stood had to be moved so that
the U. S. Engineers could place
piling in the revetment along
that stretch of the harbor at
Snake River adjacent to the ware
house.
The report of Chas. D. Jones |
on unemployment in Nome re
vealed that there were possibly
75 men here who had nearly if
not entirely exhausted their
means of support and that they
had no work or any means of ob
taining same in order to earn
sufficient funds with which to
take passage on outgoing vessels.
Mrs. C.O. Roberts appeared be
fore the council with a telegram
received from the governor’s of
fice in reply to a complaint wired
bv C. O. Roberts that the Peter
man Construction Co. was vio
lating its contract by employing1
outside labor and discriminating
against local labor.
Her telegram instructed that
the matter be put through the
1 local council for consideration, i
The clerk read a telegram dis
patched by the city to the gov
ernor’s office, which informed
them that after investigation
with the proper officials in con
nection with the work on the
new school building they found
that local labor was not being
discriminated against.
Numerous comments were made
by interested parties and person
alities injected a few times be
fore the subject was exhausted
for this meeting, with the matter
resting in its present status that
discrimination was not being di
rected at local labor and that the
concern was not violating its con
tract.
With only a few additional re
marks the meeting was adjourn
ed.
