night, the first in the new
city building council cham
bers, members agreed to
enlist new musicians and
all those interested in the
continuance of a band in
Nome. Ii was stated that
efforts would be made to
contact the schools in Nome
and see if possible candi
dates could be secured. An
other suggestion was to ap
proach as many young
boys and men in Nome as
possible and interest them
in learning band music un
der capable instruction.
There are a sufficient num
ber of instruments now in
the band to take care of 7
or 8 new members at the
present time.

Nome Airways
Pilot Whaley, accompan
j ied by Harry Nelson, both
of the Nome Airways, and
Jerry Lomen returned to
1 Nome today from down-the
; coast points after an eight
day freighting trip, on
which they moved 20 tons
of perishables including
| potatoes, onions and can
ned goods into Dime Land
ing. Wallace Porter and
Jack Armstrong were in
coming passengers.
One-third of the freight
was transferred from Golo
vin and two-thirds of it
from Isaacs Point. The fact,
that the freezeup caused
some of the small freight
boats to put into Isaacs Pt.
and Golovin. The food sup
ply was necessary at Dime
and the Nome Airways was
engaged to fly it in without
freezing the valuable car
go.
Outside temperatures
ranged from 10 to 40 de
grees below zero but in
side the plane the therm
ometer showed forty de
grees above, and not one
bit of the food supply was
frozen.
