Nome Is COlorful, But, Oh How
 Deadly Boring
By RUSSELL ANNABEL

United Press Staff Correspondent
 NOME, Alaska -(UP)- To visitors Nome is colorful, uni que and pleasantly primitive place, easily the notwithstanding frontier town in the high north but to the troops and the swarm of civilian construction workers who have been stationed here for the past two years, Nome is vast headache.
 '"The town is incredibly crowd ed, the climate is savage, and there are no facilities for recrea- ton.
 Nome has no USO, no service club, no bowling alley, no con- fectionery shop or ice cream par Tor. There isn't pool table in town. There are no dances. Mail often arrives from three weeks to a month late. And the rate of single white girls to white men is about 500 to l.
 Offers Little Choice
 "A man has his choice after work of staying in his barracks, or wandering forlornly up and down the broken sidewalks of Front street, or of spending the evening making the rounds of the roaring, jam-packed saloons. One result of this has been that since troops arrived two saloon keepers have retired. Another has been that engineers in charge of vital construction work have had to discharge 60 per cent of locally-hired workers because of drunkenness.
 "The frontier atmosphere which makes Nome a tourists delight has long since ceased to interest to the men stationed here. It was swell for a while says Pvt. Bob Soden of Seattle, but we don't even see it any more. We are fed up with Eski- mos and that stuff Maybe it will help explain why when I tell you I haven't been in a white per sons home or had a date with white girl since l left Seattle two years ago.
 Big Mac Jones of Spokane, a diesel shovel operator, recently summed up None's most urgent needs:
 The trouble is there isn't a thing to do after work but hang around bars, and we are getting almighty sick of hang ing around bars,' he says. Some body ought to put up a bowling alley and some pool tables in this town, and they could fly some USO girls in here once in a while for a dance. They ought to find out how come the magazines and newspapers are six weeks late all the time. And maybe they could do something to even up the wages of CT kids working with us. If they'll give us that kind of a break we can prob

in Nome, there have been rela- lively few marriages between soldiers and Eskimo girls, accord ing to Nome's grizzled, tuba-play- ing chief of police, C. F. Yenney, formerly of Walla Walla. One Florida-born soldier, who recent ly married an Eskimo glrl, said he was just bored with himself and tired of not having a home. and that getting married seemed like a good idea.
 These lads marry native girls because they are bored and lonesome,' Yenney says. When they are transferred, they won't want to return, and l don't be lieve that many will feel right about their wives joining them in the States "
