NOME: BETTER HOUSED
The news in today’s press dispatches concerning the
conferences of E. L. Bartlett. Assistant Director of Federal
Housing in Alaska, bore special mention of the housing re
quirements at Nome. .
Since the visit of Colonel Elmer Clark to Nome follow
ing the fire in September, Federal Washington has been
advised of the conditions in Nome regarding housing and
other matters of rehabilitation. He has placed much of the
data gathered on his trip before the Public Works Admini
stration so that when the Nome City Council makes applica
tion for a PWA loan and grant, he will be able to talk from
first hand information.
Assurances have been received from time to time from
Washington that speedy efforts would be made in Congress
to gain approval for the City of Nome to bond itself and
thus make application for the loan. Other assurances that
federal aid will be forthcoming have also been received.
The Federal Housing Administration has now been dele
gated to serve also, in Alaska, and two of Alaska’s most in
terested workers have been placed in the positions of direct
ors for this department.
Full particulars of FHA activities and the means by
which the individuals throughout Alaska may seek aid and
receive i,t for the improvement or construction of new and
better homes, are not available in Nome at this time. The
delegation of divisional representatives or delegates for this
department will probably be appointed and information
disseminated so that the people of Alaska will be in a posi
tion to house themselves in modern, well-constructed, finely
modeled homes, a requirement for permanency in Alaska,
which has become apparent and a recognized necessity for
the progress of this Territory.
EYE CRIPPLES
According to tests of eye specialists nearly all of us are
partially, at least, eye cripples, or heading toward impair
ed vision. This condition and trend is largely due in the
opinion of specialists to improper lighting.
Tests show that 20 percent during grade-school years,
40 percent of college age and 95 percent of people over the
age of 60 have impaired vision. j
A nation-wide campaign is now underway to improve
lighting facilities, in'homes, schools and offices to save eyes, j
Manufacturers of lighting equipment are cooperating with
eye specialists. Informative literature is available at electric j
equipment houses, explaining the proper lamp wattage to
use under various conditions, types of lamps and distance
from lamps that readers and workers should sit.
Eye sight is one of man’s most precious possessions; any
effort we make to protect and insure it is worthwhile. If
you are not familiar with the new aids to sight preservation
see an eye specialist or ask any dealer in lighting equipment
for information as to how you can further protect your eyes.
Long dark days are here, the time is opportune to improve
your lighting and have your eyes tested.—Exchange.
