CALL FOR ATHLETIC PROGRAM
A call, published in this evening’s paper requests
the attendance of managers or captains of any organiz
ed indoor baseball teams, at a meeting to be held in the
new school building, under the chairmanship of Super
intendent Calvin Pool.
The meeting is being held to discuss details and
plans for arranging an indoor baseball league and
schedule of games for this winter.
Nome has been without any organized athletics
since the fire of 1934 which destroyed all of the public
halls in town, including the two large halls in which
basketball and indoor baseball were played.
The absence of any organized sports in Nome since
that time has been keenly felt by nearly everyone in
terested in the fine sportsmanship and ability which
provided the excellent winter entertainment which for
so many years has been appreciated by the city of Nome.
With the construction of the new Nome school build
ing, which includes one of the finest gymnasiums in A1
aska. interest has again been awakened and athletes
are clamoring for an opportunity to get going. That
is only natural. Its height, lenghth and width make
the new gymn a regulation hall for nearly every type
of indoor sport.
Indoor athletics during a winter are good for a
town. They drew all classes of people together in a com
mon interest—to observe and cheer on, their favorite
teams and players—thereby promoting the general spir
it of sportsmanship and community feeling.
The lack of a large hall, auditorium or gymnasium
in Nome has been felt in a serious way, not only through
the absence of athletics, but through the fact that no
place has there been for the people to gather together
in large numbers, with interest in a common activity.
This winter should see that wholesome, Nomean
spirit rekindled in athletics as well as in community
feeling. This evening’s meeting is by no means the
final conclave of those who will attempt to get athletics
under way. It is going to take work and lots of it to
organize teams, provide for details of play, schedules,
expenses, play floor, etc.
What should attract the attention of every public
minded citizen in Nome, is that the movement is get
ting under way, and that those interested in it should
be cognizant of the fact that their efforts at starting ath
letics for the winter are not only directed toward the
staging of contests of one kind and another, but that
they also are assisting in drawing the general citizenry
together, solidifying the community spirit._

School Started
Train Writers In
Movie Industry
At last, one major studio has
decided to train talented young
people in the difficult technique
of movie production. There are
two or three universities that off
er cinematography in their curri
cult but as yet they are a long
way from the rapidly develop
ing methods of production in
modern studios.
Credit goes to Edwin Knopf,
head of the MGM writing depart
ment, for selecting college men,
fresh with ideas and hopes and
placing them under the profession 1
al eyes of experienced writers j
and technicians. So far, William
Roberts and James Richard of
U. S. C., home of All-American
football players, and Andrew
Morthland of Stanford are the
lucky ones. They will absorb the
fundamentals of screen writing.
It is planned to canvas eastern
schools this fall for additional
talent. The selections will be
made on the recommendations of
English professors. This is op
portunity in person for some of
the rah rah rah boys.

Alaska’s Salmon Rising
in U. S. Favor as
Delicious, Nourishing Food
Industry’s advertising in States gets more
housewives to buy Canned Salmon at fair prices per
can. This helps almost every family in Territory
ASKA knows Canned Salmon as
a food that’s good to eat—and
healthful; but the Territory can
consume only a fraction of our an
nual salmon catch.
Only through building up the out
side market—in the U. S.—can Alas
ka’s Number One Industry forge
ahead of competition from other
parts of the world—keep on pay
ing its large share of taxes here—
and offer stable employment to
Alaskan workers.
Alaska people know the Industry
is conducting a great advertising
campaign in the U. S. As a result
of this advertising — now in full
swing—Canned Salmon is growing
in favor among U. S. families.
U. S. women who have learned
the nutritious, life-sustaining values
of Canned Salmon are serving it
often. And these American house
wives are now buying more of
Alaska’s food-delicacy from the sea.
You and your family share, di
rectly or indirectly, in the benefits
brought by this stability in the
Canned Salmon Industry.
More demand for Canned Salmon
means more stable employment —
more money spent for equipment
and services here in the Territory.
You can help the good work by
serving Canned Salmon often in
your own home.
What Canned Salmon
advertising will
accomplish for Alaska
Canned Salmon advertising to U. S. women
is paid for entirely by the Canned Salmon In
dustry. Its purposes include the following:
| It will seek to safeguard this Alaska Indus
try against the competition from other
food products in America.
2. It will seek to stabilize America’s demand
for this Alaska product at fair prices — so
that good wages may be paid to Alaska
workers.
3' It will, if successful, help make it possible
for the Industry to continue its support of
the Territorial government through tax
payments. The Canned Salmon Industry
in 1933 (last year for which records are
complete) paid 77% of all taxes collected
by the Territorial government.
4' It will create interest in Alaska and its re
sources and help to bring more people to
the Territory.
It will guard the future of the Industry —
protect the future of the thousands of
Alaska people who derive income directly
and indirectly from the canning of Alaska
salmon.
