Explorer Scouts’
March of Dimes Tonight
Tonight the Explorer Scouts
will be mother’s aides and con
duct the Mothers March between
7:30 and 9:00 p.m. for the March
of Dimes. Have your money ready,
stated chairman Mary Andersen.
At the Aukruk Lanes Moon
light Bowl on Jan. 27, $32 was
raised for the March of Dimes.
The containers will be left in
the local places of business until
the middle of the month due to
our delay in getting the program
started this year.
In summing up some of the
past year’s accomplishments, Mrs.
Andersen said:
Your chapter made a few
strides toward helping all of the
people covered in our area, stated
the chairman, Mary Andersen. The
iron lung brought to Nome by us
has been put to use a couple of
times this past year. Some of our
funds were used to help a young
boy travel to Anchorage to be fit
ted for new braces as he had out
grown the old ones. We also con
tributed to the fund in order to
establish a research and treatment
clinic at the University' of Wash
ington in Seattle. The clinic has
been very successful and they
deal mainly with birth defects.
With our chapter, expanding in
aid, she stated, we naturally have
to continue every effort during
the March of Dimes to raise the
necessary funds. From past rec
ords I know the people in the
community are interested in doing
as much as they can to help.

Regular PTA Meeting
Last Night Transacts
Variety of Business
Members and friends of the
Nome PTA were entertained last
night in the Multipurpose Room
with a skit, “Unabridged Diction
ary”, presented by Miss Jean
Nelson’s 5th grade class. In the
lengthy business session which
followed several reports were
given by representatives of the
PTA on various meetings, in
cluding those of Area Redevelop
ment, Museum Committee, Nome
City Council, and the Nome
School Board.
A report was given by Supt.
Conrad Potter on action that the
local School Board had taken in
endorsing the legislation that has
been drafted by the State Board
of Education, which calls for the
Legislature to provide for the ad
ministrative reorganization of
Alaska’s educational system, and
I a financial support program for
this reorganization. The PTA de
cided to back the School Board
in this endorsement.
hotter also reported on tne
purpose of the school survey
questionaire and the response re
ceived. Persons who have not re
turned this questionaire are urged
to do so immediately as tabula
tion is to begin this weekend.
It was reported that a second
letter has been sent to various or
ganizations in town asking for
further help with the milk project.
It was pointed out that individ
uals and parents who see the value
of serving 20 gallons of milk daily
to school children are invited to
contribute to the project. It was
also explained that the cost of
$100 per month is for the hiring
of the two students to mix the
milk. Response to the project from
contributions has thus far fallen
short of meeting expenses. The
PTA decided to continue to sup
port this very worthwhile proj
ect. /
The Executive Committee was
empowered by the PTA to use
whatever funds are available as
they deem best in continuing the
skating rink project.
A committee volunteered to look
into the possibility of a city rec
reational program for the sum
mer months. Mr. Potter has been
appointed as chairman of this
committee.
A letter will be written to Gov.
Egan expressing the concern of
parents in Nome without the
services of a dentist to care for
their children’s teeth.
Mrs. Ruth Towner volunteered
to serve as chairman of the Hos
[ pitality Committee for the remain
der of the school year. Mrs.
Myrtle Johnson was appointed as
chairman of the Legislative Com
mittee and will keep the PTA in
formed of legislation and propos
als affecting education coming
before the legislature.
The room count award was won
by Miss Cooper’s 3rd grade class
for the second consecutive time.
Third grade mothers served re
freshments.
