MILL VALLEY, Calif. I.L — A
strong gust of wind blew a 25-foot
pussy willow tree across a drive
way on Evergreen Ave.
A housewife got busy in the
rain and cut off many branches
so she could get her car out of
the garage to meet her husband.
An hour later another strong
gust blew the tree upright again.

"Nome Bowling
Board Meets \\ itli
Brunswick dorp.
T w o representatives of t h e
Brunswick Corp. came to Nome
last week to meet with the man
agement of Aukruk Lanes. They
were:
Mr. Harold Larson, Western
Branch manager and Mr. Pat Car
tee, Alaska representative.
A four hour meeting was held
with available members, at which
time Mr. Larson went through
the bowling records in an effort
to help the board and stockholders
continue in business.
He stated that the Brunswick
Corp. viewed the Nome operation
as a poor risk and that unless pay
ments were made it would be
necessary to start foreclosure pro
ceedings. Since no payments had
been made in the past year it was
impossible to refinance at this
time.
Mr. Larson asked the board to
submit an estimated cost of
operation for the next 12 months,
which was done as follows:
Heat, $2,310; lights, $2,438.42;
telephone, $195.21: wages $3,240:
city sales tax, $514; insurance,
$1,934.02; taxes, $195.21; total of
$10,827.33.
In June the board had sub
mitted to Brunswick an operating
cost of $16,843.68 based on the 1961
figures. Volunteer help and do
nated services plus an overall cut
in utilities has lowered the operat
ing expense.
Mr. Larson said that he would
recommend to Brunswick that the
Nome Alleys be allowed to operate
providing that they make pay
ments of $800 per month plus
some thing toward the old balance.
He will do this, as it is evident
that an all-out effort is being
made to put the alleys on a pay
ing basis. He said that our lanes
and pinsetters are in fine working
shape and the board gives thanks
to Dick Deems for his free time
this summer. Mr. Larson gave his
opinion that the Nome Alleys can
not continue in operation with the
revenue as it is now. Unless the
stockholders and the town people
utilize the one and only recreation
al facility more in the future it
will be necessary to remove same
irom iNome.
The board went on record that
they would make an all-out effort
to meet the payments during the
next 12 months. This means pay
ments to Brunswick and the SBA,
plus monthly operating costs. To
be able to do this there must be
a revenue of $24,000 and at this
time we estimate only $18,000 in
the next 12 months. “Where is the
extra $6,000 going to come from,
only if the people will bowl as
often as there pocketbook will
allow,” stated Tom Martin, chair
man of the board of directors.
In this figure of $24,000 there is
not one cent that can be paid on
accounts payable, property rent to
the city, loan payment to the
M & M Bank, let alone over $3,000
due on property taxes. Interest is
growing on these accounts every
day that are not paid. The stock
holders have approximately a $60,
000 equity in these alleys. “Are
the people of Nome going to sit
by and watch this hard work and
money of theirs go down the
drain?" Martin asked.
“Let's set a goal of $30,000 in
tne next 12 months and pay off this
indebtedness so we can proudly
say these are Nome’s alleys.”
The board will post the weekly
1 evenue on the bulletin board at
the bowling alley so you can
watch it grow. This will tell you
whether the lanes are here to
stay.”
If you don’t bowl, we will be
i glad to accept any donation or
will be glad to sell stock to any
one interested in helping the Nome
Alleys.”
