Autoists Fight Gates

Automobile drivers Of Australia are
tired of climbing in and out of their
cars in order to open and close road
gates to keep cattle at home. In that
land of many cattle it has been neces-
sary to fence across many of the coun-
try roads. A scheme to have at each
gate an excavation, with tracks across
for cars, but so constructed that stock
cannot cross, is meeting with high
favor. No provision will be made for
horses and carriages, because they are
considered by ranches as being 'relics
of the dim and distant past"

ACTIVITIES OF CHAMBER

Whether or not you are a mem Der of the Chamber of Commerce. it will not be amiss to read of the many activities this Chamber has before it for immediate action, as outlined at the noon luncheon of this body last Tuesday. There are those who believe in a Cham Der of Commerce and those who do not. there are some who are luke warm cn the necessity of such an organization, and others still that are unconcerned, 1t is the same in reference to anything that you might do or say on any subject. But the fact still re- mains that the local Chamber has done a lot of good and accom- plished many things for this sec tion of Alaska. It will go on do- ing and trying to accomplish things for the benefit of the com munity and surrounding sections. The membership committee which started out this week to sign up old members and add new mem bers to the roll. report that their endeavors have been exceedingly gratifying, and receive few if any complaints, but on the contrary receive much praise for the work the Chamber has done in the past and is endeavoring to do for the future. It is gratifying to note that the Nome Chamber can boast of as big a membership as any chamber in Alaska. including cit ies with five times the population We have.

MUTENEss OF BARROW

That radio communication should be established at Point Barrow is forceably brought to our attention once again by the apparent dis appearance of three airplanes and six men-the pilots of three plan es, one a relief plane sent out with radio outfit and operator and the other two planes being an inclos- ed plane of the Wien Alaska Air ways of Nome and another en- closed plane belonging to the An chorage Air Transport Company. which were engaged to transport six men from Fairbanks to Barrow for the Fox Film Organization.
 Thursdays press dispatches in form us that plans are under way for dispatching another relief plane from Fairbanks to look for the other three planes and men. and to carry food supplies to the stranded men if found necessary.
 Times without number in the past twenty-five years the call for help has arose from Arctic Ocean points when hundreds of mems lives were at stake and many thou sands of dollars vested in ships have been lost. simply because of the silence or muteness of this long expanse of territory which has no radio stations or any other means of communication except by the slow method of foot runners or dog teams.
 It has taken weeks and some times months to communicate by this slow method in order to reach some distant place hundreds of miles away before any help or .as- sistance could be given. That such conditions prevail in the world to- day in a supposedly enlightened country. such as ours. is hardly be lieyab!e-but it is q fact never theless
