Alaska Music Trail
Presents Zara Nelsova
An unusual program of both
classic and modern masters will
bo presented by Zara Nelsova on
Tuesday, October tilth at 8:00 p.m.
in the Seward Memorial Methodist
Church, when the celebrated Can
adian 'cellist will appear in the
opening concert of the season of
Alaska Music Trail.. This program
in addition to well known works
for ’cello—like the Sonata in A
Major by Boccherini and the Vari
ations on the Rococo Theme by
Tschaikow'sky—will also include
the I'naccompanied Sonata by the
Hungarian composer, Kodalay.
Miss Nelsova is one of the two ,
artists known to play this work. !
The youthful 'cellist, commenc- j
ed her professional activity in the
Canadian Trio—of which her two
sisters, a pianist and a violinist,
were the other members. She
plunged into a brilliant solo career
when both sisters married. Her
technical agility and musical gen
ius have won enthusiastic com
ments from the world's leading
critics.
One of the greatest compliments ;
paid to her artistry came to Miss
Reports on Russian
Shipping Activities
Intensive Russian efforts during
the past 15 years have made it
a routine matter for that country
to send its ships along the length
of Northern Siberia, a British
scientist told a University of Al
aska assembly over the weekend.
He is Dr. Terrence Armstrong
from the Scott Polar Research
Institute at Cambridge. England.
He is author of the book “The
Northern Sea Route: Soviet Ex
ploritation of the North East Pass
age”. The scientist has spent much
time studying all available informa
tion about this general area and is
a recognized world authority on it.
Dr. Armstrong's statement about
the Russian activities was taken
from a paper titled “The Northern
Sea Route".
In his opinion the successful
Russian efforts to send ships to
Northern Siberia are “undeniably
a great achievement, and one which
contrasts sharply with correspond
ing development in the western
hemisphere.
Dr. Armstrong pointed out that
Nelsova from one of the greatest
composers of the present day—
Ernest Bloch. He invited her to
be his soloist at the Bloch Festivals
with the Chicago Symphony and
the London Philharmonic Orches
tra.
The Alaska Music Trail feels
very fortunate in having obtained
the services of Roy Bogus as ac
companist for Miss Nelsova's tour.
Only 20 years old, the young Bogas
is a permanent accompanist for
Yehudi Menuhin. He was recip
ient of the first annual Kimber
Award, and is engaged as soloist
for the coming season with the
San Francisco Symphony.

FAIRBANKS ALASKA
It is a tremendous task to use the I
sea route along the north coast
ot Siberia.
“These waters are icebound and
impassable for shipping at least
seven months of the year — in
some parts for eight, nine or ten.
In the remainder there still is
plenty of ice around, and this in
turn causes fogs which tend to he
most frequent in the months there
is least ice.”
I)r. Armstrong explained that
making the route work involved
organizing a large number of ser
vices — icebreakers, meterological
stations, hydrographic service and
a large staff of scientists. He said
it is extremely difficult to obtain
information about llussian activ
ities in the Artie area. World War
II did force considerable relaxa
tion of informatioin about, and non
Russian activities in, the area.
Since the end of the war, the
i secrecy lid once more has been
tightly clamped down.
“There have been reports in the
foreign press of the passage of
naval vessel and troopships, but
these are generally unsubstantiat
ed", Dr. Armstrong pointed out.
He said one branch of activity
about which the world does know
is the Kara Sea timber traffic.
This information is available be
cause many foreign vessels have
been working on this route trans
porting the Siberian timber to
hungry world markets.
These ships first call at Mur
mansk. Then they pass through
the Kara Sea and proceed 400 miles
up the Yenisey River. During this
time they are under Russian con
trol, which includes locking up
all the cameras until the ships
clear Murmansk on the homeward
passage a month later.
Dr. Armstrong said the secrecy
which the Soviet government has
enforced since 1946 "makes one
suspicious. But if one suspects
large-scale military activity, one
may be exaggerating the import
ance of the strategic side; much
purely economic information is
kept secert".
Dr. John McCall, glacier ex
pert, bead of the University of Al
aska geology department and a
former colleague of Dr. Armstrong
at Cambridge, introduced the Brit
ish scientist and conducted the
question and answer period fol
lowing his talk.
At this time Dr .Armstrong re
peated that the Russians might
be using their Siberian rivers for
more transportation from year to
year. He also stated that he has
the impression Siberia is being de
veloped industrially on a large
scale..

Looks Like Snow
Soon Will Be Here
At this writing It looks like
Seward might get its first snowfall
before very long. The termination
dust has really blanketed the local
ranges and unlike the snowfall of
a couple of weeks ago, has not been
washed off by later rains.
Seward can take some pri d e
however, in the fact that many
places in Montana have already
received their first substantial falls
of the year and if reports from
Texas are correct, so has Anchor
age.

Health Council Meets
On Local Problems
(Continued rrom Page One)
erlng the garbage disposal. It had
been reported that in someplaces
people are not disposing of their
garbage but are allowing it to pile
up around their homes and yards.
Since this constitutes a definite
health hazzard, the Council’s Fact
Finding Committee will look into
the matter and will recommend
what action should be taken by
the Council.
Action of the Health Council
will likely be to recommend to the
City Council the stricter enforce
ment of present Health Ordinances
or the drafting of a new Ordinance
to cover the problem. The Health
Council has no legislative or en
forcement powers but is merely a
fact finding body.
The question of emergency ser
vice on obtaining a Doctor was
discussed and it was decided that
the Publicity Committee phould
look into the matter and see what
arrangements the Doctors of the
community had set up to assure
that the City was not left without
medical personnel. The findings
are to be publicized so that the
general public will know what to
do in case they cannot contact
their regular family doctor.
A related problem to the emer
gency doctor service seems to be
the need for more adequate tele
phone service to the San. At
present there is only a single line
to the San. and it is quite over
worked. It was thought that per
haps the telephone company 'could
be talked into stringing additional
lines for emergency service.
Inspection and rating of food
service and beverage dispensaries
was discussed and it was decided
to obtain literature on the methods
and standards set for inspection
of such places with an eye to put
ting into effect some regular pro
gram of inspection and rating of
eating places.
Progress of the Mobile x-ray
unit was reported as somewhat
behind schedule with no definite
date yet set for when the unit
would be in Seward. The Council
hopes that when the unit does
arrive, that everyone in the com
munity will see to it that they are
x-rayed.
Final item of business for the
evening was the announcement of
the next date for a meeting and
this was set for November 5th.
