survey is being made here not be
cause of a greater incidence of
problems than anywhere else in
the state, but because this north

it has two merging cultures—the
Eskimo and the white.,

Fire Sc Police Chief Report . . .
Chief Bob Oliver has just re

10 days of indoctrination, in both
crime and fire prevention. Ke stated
he was amazed to hear how many
times Nome was mentioned in the
crime conference, as the place
where many of the *122 known
traveling criminals pass through
on the way in and out of the bush.
These offenders include parole
and probation violators, etc., and
are known on police records as
professional criminals. The crime
conference was attended by re
presentatives from the FBI and
other organizations whose com

The fire seminar, taught by men
of many years experience, was a

both fire and crime prevention.
Also the invitation has been ex
tended to Nome to send scone one
to the State Police Academy, and
for fire fighting of aircraft at
Eielson Air Force Base.
Chief Oliver plans to call a meet

of the Road” before someone is
hurt through neglect of careless
