WHAT ARE RULES FOR, ANYWAY!
IT S FESTIVAL TIME . . .
rpHIS IS FESTIVAL WEEK and if you want to enjoy the festi
vities then it is necessary that you participate, either by assisting
in some event or dressing for the occasion or doing both.
It is all right to be a bystander, as spectators are part of the
show but you’ll have more fun if you are part of the show, that’s
why there are more beards this year than ever before. All the
stores are selling carnival merchandise, so there is no excuse
to be without any insignia of the occasion.
So put on your colored vest, or don a straw hat or sunbonnet
—or get a colorful parasol or carry a Midnight Sun balloon and
enjoy Nome’s Midnight Sun Festival.
The Nugget would be glad to head a list of petitioners to
the city asking that the street oiling machine be put to work im
mediately on Front Street and First Ave. West where the traffic
is heavy. Business houses are harrassed with the dust which is
ruinous to merchandise and those who have improved their property
are somewhat discouraged.
Those home owners who have made an attempt to improve
the outside appearance with plants are fighting a losing battle as
the dust is destroying the plants.
The health aspect is also to be considered as the weather con
tinues to get warmer.
Oiling the streets before the arrival of the first boat or before
the Festival, should be a scheduled event, not something that is
ofily done when an appeal is made.

’Work by Highway Dept
ANCHORAGE — District
Highway Engineer Roy Jenkins
said today college students from
outside the state had been hired

nesota are undergoing a two-day
orientation course at District
Highway headquarters before be
ing sent out in the field.
Jenkins said the students have
had training in use of surveying
instruments and were hired for
enginering technician positions.
They will work as inspectors and

“We’ve already hired every Al
askan we could find for these po
sitions,” Jenkins said.

Alaskan Shrimp
Takes a Commercial
Dive in Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (tf — The Alas
kan shrimp — a fingernail sized
delicacy equally tasty when com
pressed into fillet-sized bites —
took a commercial dive into the
Land of Ten Thousand Lakes yes
terday.
Mirinesota is the first of 10
mid-western markets to be iri
vaded by the Alaskan shrimp —
available in seemingly inexhausti
ble beds in the Bering Sea and
recently given a nudge by com
petitive freight rates and inexpen
sive automatic peeling machines.
There was an adequate supply
of bureaucratic shrimp sauce. Gov.
Karl Rolvagg of Minnesota was on
hand at a luncheon to proclaim it
“Alaska Neighbor Day.”
Sen. E. L. Bartlett presented
Gov. Rolvagg with the blue and
gold flag of Alaska. Bartlett
described the promising shrimp in
dustry as a badly-needed economic
shot in the arm for Alaska, where
the unemployment rate hangs
around 25 per cent.
Miss Alaska, Teresa Dawn Han
son of Anchorage, showed up in
a parka and a southern accent
(she’s being going to school in
Georgia for a year) to help plug
the industry.
Shipping rates are so favorable
that the Alaskan shrimp will at
tack mid-western tables by way
of New Orleans. The shrimp are
boated to Seattle, rail-shipped to
New Orleans, where they are com
pressed into fillet-sized logs by
a seafood processing firm for re
tailing in the mid-west.
HERBERT HOOVER SHOWS
MIRACULOUS IMPROVEMENT
NEW YORK OR — Former Presi
dent Herbert Hoover has made
“an almost miraculous improve
ment” from his illness, a family
spokesman said today.
The spokesman, Neil MacNeil,
said “his family and his friends,
as well as his physicians, are as
tounded by his vitality.”
MacNeil said no medical bulle
tins would be issued after today if
the former President, 89, continues
to improve.
A bulletin this morning said
there is no evidence Hoover’s pre
sent illness is connected with the
cancer removed from his large in
testine last August.
MV MALASPINA IS
BACK ON SCHEDULE
JUNEAU OR — The state ferry
Malaspina resumed her runs on
the Southeast Alaska Marine High
way system today after a week-long
trip to the westward.
During her voyage to Anchorage,
Homer, Seward, Valdez and Cor
dova, a total of 20,003 persons
crowded aboard the sleek blue
and white ship.
.Public works Commissioner
Richard Downing said Coast Guard
restrictions on the size of the
crew for the westward trip forced
the concessionaire to abandon
plans for serving meals to visitors
aboard the ship while the Mala
spina was in port.
Among the many distinguished
guests visiting Nome this week was
Dr. Guy Digenaus of the Institute
of Pathology from Lausanne, Swit
zerland.

Long-Range Plan to
Colonize Outer Space
JODRELL BANK, England <*> —
A British scientist says the Soviet
space woman’s venture could be
part of a long-range plan to colon
ize other parts of the solar system.
“It is important to emphasize
there is no aspect of a stunt in
sending a woman into space,” Sir
Bernard Lovell, director of Eng
land’s big radio-telescope, said
Monday night.
The plan for colonization could
look as far ahead as a quarter
century, he said, and probably
would be directed at Mars.
Valentina Tereshkova’s flight,
he said, “is clearly part of a well
conceived scientific plan.”
