WHO’D EVER HAVE THOUGHT IT
Where There’s a Will . . . There's a Way
"M¥ANY PEOPLE in this community use the excuse that they
can t have modern comforts here because it "costs too much
in Nome." Thev go without conveniences thev wouldn’t think of
getting along w ithout in other places because many of their neigh
bors are doing the same.
The day is past when people come to Nome on a temporary
plan, with one thought, to return to the lower forty-eight. More
and more people, particularly young and middle-aged couples
are finding that Nome is their permanent home and thev can
live comfortably and economically when thev learn how to do it.
An excellent example of what any man can do to provide
a modern home for his family with little capital, is the new’
duplex recently completed by E. B. Straub on the corner of 1st
Avenue and Steadman, and which is open for inspection this week.
He started with an Army surplus building and for a total layout
of $2,300 for supplies, building material and fixtures, has a modern
one bedroom home complete with every modern convenience. It
is hard to believe — but he will back up his statement with figures.
In this day of ready-built fixtures, with a little common sense
and good taste, Straub can be justly proud of this added improve
ment to the part of tow n in which he lives. He is to be commended
for his willingness to pass on what he has learned so that others
who have felt it was impossible to live modernly may benefit and
start thinking about the place in which they live.
The people who make a community grow’ are those who take
pride in the inside and outside of their own property, especially
when they have worked to make their property something of
which to be proud.
COLORADO WILL BID FOR
1976 WINTER OLYMPICS
DENVER — Colorado will
make a bid for the Winter Olym
pics of 1976 rather than in 1972
as first planned, Gov. John Love
said Saturday.
The governor said 1976 would
mark Colorado's 100th birthday
and would be the United States’
200th.
The invitation by Colorado will
be presented by Love and Thayer
Tutt, president of the Broadmoor
Hotel Corp., at the 1964 winter
games in Insbruck, Austria.

Zunidieck Says
Gruening Is “Confused"
SEATTLE if' — J. F. Zumdieck,
vice president and general mana
ger of the Alaska Steamship Co.,
says either Sen. Ernest Gruening
or Webster is “confused about the
word ‘monopoly’.”
He also said in a statement Fri
day that “as usual. Sen. Gruening’s
comments about the Alaska Steam
ship Co. are inaccurate, distorted
and highly uncomplimentary. They
were again today, as reported
here.”
At Fairbanks Wednesday, Gruen
ing defended his recent stand
against the bill, defeated in a Sen
ate committee, which would have
allowed Alaska Steam to purchase
and operate a foreign-built vessel
between Seattle and Alaska. Gruen
ing also said Canadians should be
welcomed in the Alaska shipping
business, as “so far we have had
nothing in Alaska but a monopoly
in the freight business.”
Zumdieck’s statement also said:
“A maze of carriers, including
Alaska Freight Lines, Puget Sound
Alaska Van Lines, Foss Launch &
Tug, Alaska Barge & Transport,
Pacific Western Lines and Ameri
can Tugboat Co. compete for Alas
ka cargo — irrespective of the
senator’s studied efforts to ignore
them.
“It has been this rigorous com
petition and the efforts of carriers
to develop improved methods that
have held freight rate increases
in the Alaska trade in the last 10
years far below such increases in
other domestic trades, the senator's
comments notwithstanding.
“It is evident that he intends to
continue to ignore the facts and
a reasonable approach to Alaska’s
transportation problems, which is
further confirmed by his efforts to
incite labor in the Skagway labor
dispute.”
The reference to Skagway was to
the longshoremen’s strike there.
Gruening has denounced the long
standing agreement Alaska Steam
has had with the sailors union, by
which sailors unload one hatch of
vessels in Alaska ports. Gruening
said at Fairbanks Wednesday it is
longshoremen’s work and a “sur
vival from the colonial days of
Alaska.”
Our big cities are getting bigger
all the time, but 24 per cent of
U.S. families still dwell in towns
of less than 2,500 population.

I Washouts on Alaska
Highway are Repaired
FORT NELSON, B.C. <*> —
Travellers began to move north
and south along the Alaska High
way Friday after Canadian army
maintenance crews completed
emergency repairs at the scene of
42 washouts between this center
and Watson Lake, Y.T.
The slides and washouts caused
by four days of heavy rain late
last week, dotted the 200-mile sec
tion and stymied more than 3,500
travellers, some since Tuesday.
The first cars here were allow
ed through at 3 p.m., MST. At the
same time military and civilian
police at Watson Lake began mov
ing cars from their end.
All motorists were warned re
pairs were temporary and the road
could not be classified as normal.
One-way clearance w'as all that
was opened by road crews at many
of the washed out stretches.
An army spokesman in Fort Nel
son said cars were allowed on the
highway in three to five minute
intervals. Motorists were warned
to maintain the distance between
themselves and the car ahead.
Army officials said no motorists
had been trapped on the highway
by the washouts. They added ac
commodations were available along
the entire route.
POSSIBILITY . . .
OXFORD, England UP) — A doc
tor said Friday a woman who takes
contraceptive pills for much of her
life might find herself an ex
pectant mother about the time she
was drawing an old pension.
Dr. L. Kopelowitz told a meeting
of the British Medical Assn, “new
evidence has been put before us
that there is a possibility that they
only delay ovulation.
“Therefore there is a possibility
that a woman of 60 or 70 might
become pregnant after taking this
drug for a period of years.”
Kopelowitz did not name any
particular durg.
