LIONS WELL PLEASED
WITH TURNOUT AT
SATURDAY NIGHT PARTY
The Nome Lions Club was re
ported well pleased today with
their first anniversary party last
Saturday night at the ANG ar
mory.
As soon as the accounting for
the venture is completed within
a day or two, the Lions expect to
turn over a substantial amount to
the Public Health Nurse for her
“glasses for kids” project.
Another benefit from the party,
it is felt, is the increased use of
the Armory as a community fac
ility, in addition to its use by
the National Guard.
The $10 door prize was won by
Angeline Cutwater. Additional
door prizes of Lions Club brooms
were awarded to Leora Kennick,
Darryl Trigg and Tony Martinez.
The first prize in the “Twist”
contest went to David Grant and
Diane Wilke and the second prize
went to Lurisse Lowe and Billy
Muller.

mineral specified in the applica
tion and that if oil or any othei
minerals are found additional ap
plications covering them woulc
be necessary.
In a letter from Sen. Pearst
Walsh, on the subject of offshore
filings along the coast of Nome
he stated that interest in gold was
stimulated by new use of gold in
the field of space engineering.
He said because of gold’s ability
to withstand heat, it was used ex
tensively in the heat shield of
astronaut Glenn’s capsule which
orbitted the earth last month.
Sen. Walsh also recalled that
surveys have shown that there
are five “beachlines” in this area
— three which have been ex
plored, and the other two which
are under water and which here
tofore have been too expensive to
mine.
Walsh said he is arranging an
interview with the Shell Oil Co.
with a view to finding out more
of their plans for gold mining in
the Nome area.

2 Studenls to Take
t Merit Scholarship •
Qualifying Test
1 Five students at Nome High
? School plan to take the 1962
; National Merit Scholarship quali
1 tying test, Dick McCohmick, prin
cipal, announced today.
The test will be administered
> tomorrow. All students who wish
1 to be considered for the scholar
ships to be awarded in 1963 must
• take the test then.
‘ The qualifying test is a three
hour examination on educational
development and is the first step
in the eighth annual competition
for four-year merit scholarships
provided by the National Merit
Scholarship Corp. and by spon
soring corporations, foundations,
associations, unions, and individ
uals.
The number of scholarships
awarded depends upon the extent
of sponsor participation. In 1961,
945 scholarships wei*e awarded;
556 were provided by 133 sponsors
and 389 by Merit Corp. There
are 3,275 Merit Scholars attending
403 colleges in the current aca
demic year.
The test scores of students
examined in March will be re
ported to their schools by May 15.
The scores are used by class ad
visors in many high schools to
help students make decisions
about college attendance and
iieias or study. Many students j
who do not expect to win a l
scholarship take the test in order
to learn more about their indi
vidual strengths and weaknesses
in the areas measured by the
test.
Some 10,000 semi-finalists, the
highest scorers in each state, will
be named early next fall. Names
, of semi-finalists are published in
; a booklet which is distributed to
all colleges and to other sources
- of financial aid for undergradu
3 ates. Further, their names and
tests scores are sent to the col
leges they express an interest in
attending as their first or second
choices. The order of preference
is not shown.
The scholarship stipends are
based on financial need — the
minimum award is $100 and the
maximum is $1,500. The average
award to a freshman Merit
Scholar in 1961 was $847. Each
scholarship constitutes a form of
educational insurance, since the
stipend may be increased at any
time if the student’s financial
situation changes during the four
year term of the scholarship.
Supple mentary grants are
usually made to the colleges that
the scholars attend.
