Home Arts Club No More,
They Have Changed Name
To “Nome Woman’s Club”
The Home Arts Club, active
civic woman’s organization in the
community for 30 years, is no
more.
From now on it will be known
as the Nome Woman’s Club.
This organization, which spon
sors youth activities, takes part in
promoting civic development, and
fosters cultural development, is a
member of the Alaska Federation
of Women's Club, comprising sim
ilar groups in Anchorage, Bethel,
College, Douglas. Fairbanks, Sew
ard, Haines, Hamilton Acres, Sit
ka, Homer, Skagwav and Wrangell.
All other groups have for several
years been designated as “Fair
banks Woman’s Club,” “Haines
Woman’s Club.” etc., and the lo
cal group changed their by-laws
last evening to be in accord with
the other clubs in the Federation.
Guest speaker for the evening
was John Burns of the State Fish
and Game Dept., who is studying
the habits and reproduction habits
of walrus and seal. His interesting
talk was illustrated with slides
taken of a walrus hunt in which
he participated at Diomede. From
studies made to date he estimated
that about 10,000 walrus are killed
annually, most of which are on the
Russian side of Bering Sea where
they are more plentiful. He re
ported excellent cooperation with
the Russian biologist stationed on
the Siberian side in the compila
tion of statistics.
it is estimated the total annual
kill is about 10,000 walrus. In
Alaska last year the retrieved ani
mals totaled only 1,300.
He stated that it is estimated
that the herds now total from
73,000 to 90,000 while about 100
years ago records indicated the
herds numbered about 200,000 ani
mals. The studies show that the
walrus herds have about a 12 per
cent annual capacity for reproduc
tion and calves are dependent upon
their mothers for a period of 18
months.
He explained one of the meth
ods used in determining sex and
age cf walrus is by studying the
te< th which have rings like trees
and other identifying marks.
