Journalists Visit
Newspaper Office
By Dwight Schnare
Ten students from Mr. Lyttle’s
Journalism Class visited the Nome
Nugget, Friday morning. The pur
pose of the field trip was to get
a better idea of how a newspaper
operates.
The students were shown thru
the mechanical division of the
newspaper. The linotype attracted
much attention as we had studied
its function earlier. While we
were there, the teletype was bring
ing the news in from other parts
of the country. The casting ma
chine, printing press and other
points of interest were demon
strated.
The students enjoyed this op
portunity given by Mrs. Emily
Boucher, to see the local paper in
action. The trip was very interest
ing and educational.
Students participating were Jo
Chambers, Mike Cannon, Diane
Wilke, Chuck Burnett, Richard
Foster, Carol Miller, Jeanette
Amundsen, Pam Mulvihill, Dwight
Schnare, Floyd Kugzruk, and spon
sor-instructor, Rich Lyttle.

Richard Downing Is
Guest of Ice Bloc Meet
The famous Ice Bloc which meets
regularly in Juneau had Richard
Downing, Commissioner of Pub
lic Works, as a guest at its last
meeting.
Mr. Downing gave the members
present a rundown on the airport
at Kotzebue showing why the air
port should be leeward instead of
seaward as earlier recommended.
The estimated cost is about $1.4
million and the contract will not
be let for bid until July at the
earliest. It is estimated it will
take two seasons to build.
Priority of bush airfields in
1963-64 include: New Stuyahok,
Koliganek, Ekwok, Russion Mis
sion, Egegik, Buckland, Shung
nak and Ambler River. The Ice
Bloc recommended that the Wain
wright bush airfield be moved in
the priority list because of the
need. There is a DEW Line air
field close to Wainwright, but ac
cording to Sen. Eben Hopson,
commercial planes are not allow
ed to land on it.
Airports for which money has
been appropriated include: An
chorage, Dillingham, Fairbanks,
Gambell, Homer McCarthy, Noa
tak, Seward and Sitka.
The Ice Bloc also got together
to support an appropriation for
$25,000 for a state trooper to be
stationed at Barrow to cover the
northern part of the Second Dis
trict.
Present at the meeting were
Sens. Lester Bronson, Pearse
Walsh, Eben Hopson, Neal Foster,
David Harrison and John Coghill
as guest.

Wild March Weather
Lashes East and Midwest
By the Associated Press
Wild March weather lashed parts
if the east today and rising flood
waters drove hunreds from their
lomes in the midwest and east.
Die-hard winter’s latest out
Dreak — snow, flood triggering
~ains, tornadoes and damaging
wind storms — was blamed for
it least four deaths, three in In
iiana and one in West Virginia.
A snowstorm that swept across
areas from the Dakotas to Michi
gan, dumping a foot of snow in
some sections, tapered off during
the night as it moved into the
northeast.
The Ohio River reached flood
:rests inches short of disaster
levels in the Metropolis, 111., area.
Tornadoes struck small commu
nities in southern and central In
diana and killed two women in
Beck’s Mill. A girl drowned in a
water-filled ditch in Indianapolis
during a severe rain and wind
storm.
Seagulls Plague
London’s Airport
LONDON UP) — Seagulls can be
fooled once, or twice, then they
get wise.
British air officials today re
ported finding this out to their
dismay.
Seagulls flock on some airports
looking for food and when they’re
disturbed they swarm off in clouds.
That’s dangerous for planes, es
pecially jets. Several planes have
had to be warned off from land
ing at London Airport, officials
said.
Somebody got the idea of making
tape recordings of the danger cry
of seagulls. The recordings were
played at London Airport and the
gulls were off like a shot.
It worked a second time. Then
the seagulls quit paying any at
tention to the recordings.
