Work started several days ago
on the construction of the new
school building for Nome, R.
Peterman contractor, and is rap
idly being pushed so as the struc
tore will be completed within the
required length of time.
It is understood, through relia
ble sources, that vigorous efforts
will be instituted within the next
day or two, to force operators of
motor vehicle to have their 1936
license plates on their cars.
The new plates and forms ar
rived at Nome recently, and ac
cording to the law, the new plat
es are even now late in being at
tached. So it behooves all those
who own or operate motor ve
hicles to apply at the Commis
sioner’s office and obtain their
license plates immediately.

Whales Scarce
Point Barrow
Says Report
(By The Associated Press)
BARROW, June 20—Eskimos
are facing the usual summer fuel
shortage and have journeyed to
the oil lakes about sixty miles
distant to gather hardened pe
troleum along the shores and
bring it by boat here later in the
season.
Whales are scarce and the na
tives supply of blubber for fuel
and dog feed is. low. Two small
whales were killed near here and
a baby whale at Wainwright.
Many natives plan to leave here
soon on further whaling expedi
tions. The temperature is averag
ing 40, and has melted most of
the snow, but the winter sea ice
remains almost intact. The leads j
formed from old cracks have
filled by melting snow.
Dr Greist, Presbyterian Mission
surgeon, said that no further]
word has been received about
famine conditions on the north
eastern coast from here.
BROOKLYN, June 20—Thirty
five plain clothesmen and fifteen
policewomen, took one hundred
girls into custody in the Navy

sweethearts of sailors. The drive
was ordered by the New York
City Crime Prevention Bureau &
inspired by welfare organiza
tions complaining of the morals
of many girls under eighteen
years of age, which were endan
gered. Some were held as pos
sible runaways.

LONGEST DAY OF YEAR.
Tomorrow is the longest day of
the year and summer is officially
ushered in. This ig known as
the Summer Soltice and the time
is caluculated for Nome at 3:22
A.M. by the Naval Observatory.
The sun rises in the morning
at 1:03 a.m. and sets at 10:56 am.,
giving a possible amount of 21.9
hours of sunshine. However,
with the existing barometric pres
sure conditions Weather Bureau

fact that the amount of sun light
