NOME,
 And Vicinity

The following is a report of the Chamber of Commerce on Nome and vicinity to be used in the book being printed through the efforts of the Alaska Development Board. The report was prepared by John McNees and Mildred Webb.
 Nome is probably the best known town in Alaska due to it's colorful history and the fact that at times the eyes of the world have centered on this far Northern town. At one time it was bustling tent city of over l5,000 people but has now reached a stable popula- ton of about 2,O00, of which about one third are native Eskimos, one third white and the remainder of mixed blood. Nome is the econo- mic, transportation, and govern mental center for North Western Alaska, as well as being its largest town. There are about l4,000 peo- pie in the Second Division, for which Nome is the headquarters.
 Nome can be reached the year around in one day from Seattle by air, the fare is approximately $l70.00 (one way, and the visitor to Nome has a choice of route either through Fairbanks or An chorage. It is also possible to take the water route to Nome during the season when Norton Sound and the Boring Sea are not frozen over, roughly, this is from the first of June until the end of October The trip is of about ten days dura- ton and the fare is approximately $135.O0 lone way). The air route is year around and by far the most popular.

hundred miles from Siberia and only slightly less than that south of the Arctic Circle its climate is tempered by its coastal location and is not as cold as that of many places in the Midwestern States. Its winters are long, but suitable to many winter sports and people find much enjoyment in skiing, dog-sledding, ski-mobilng, wolf hunting from airplaneS and tom codding and fishing for crab through the ice in Norton Sound. The summers are short but the long days of sunlight soon turn the surrounding tundra to rich green spotted with nearly three hundred varieties of wild flowers and numerous varieties of berries. The summer months are period of intense activity, and it isn't un- til the last boat sails that the city  settles down to its social season which lasts on through the winter months.
 The visitors to Nome will find much of interest here in this city which is still truly Alaskan, its people are friendly, and interest ing. On the streets will be Eski- mos in their beautiful. fur gar ments, the women with their youngest child nestled under the parka on their back, the man per haps pulling a sled as he comes back from sealing or fishing ex- petition out on the ice just South of town. On the East end of the town in the summer months will be found King Island Village where the natives from King Is- land set up their ivory carving un- der their up-turned walrus skin boats. Known as the best ivory carverS in the world, they offer

DISCHARGE BUTTON STAMP APPROVED

Postmaster-Ge bert Hannegan has announced that the Post Office Department will issue a stamp bearing the honorable dis charge emblem, originally pro- posed by the Disabled American Veterans.
 Vivian D. Corbly, national DAV adjutant, first proposed the issu- ance of the postage stamp in a wire to Postmaster General Han negan in which he pointed out that one of the most effective means of bringing the emblem to the pub lies attention has been overlooked.
 Corbly's original proposal was followed by the submission of a suggested drawing and the DAVIS suggestion was brought to the at tention of the nation through the press and radio.

tories which have no storage space

close if they were unable to move
their output.
A strike of any, duration would
stop steel mills, shut down the re-
surgent automobile industry, stall
transportation of thousands of nee
essities, dim the lights of millions
of people and deprive people of fuel
with severe winter weather ahead.
Soft coal provides 95 per cent of
the locomotive power, SIS per cent
of industrial energy and 81 per cent
of electrical power.
An estimated 25,000,000 workers
would be made idle by a prolonged
shutdown as lack of coal forced
factories and offices to close.
Steel Faces Early Reduction.
Iron Age, national Woodworking
journal, said a complete Stoppage
of coal could reduce the steel in
dustry's operating rate within a
week to about 80 per cent of ca
pacity. 1t was functioning at 91.5
per cent earlier this week. Lack of
steel would soon force thousands
of fabricating plants to shut down
Even before the work stoppage
clamped down, the Government
talked of appealing to Governors of
States east of the Mississippi to re-
vert to wartime brownouts and to
ration electricity and manufactured
gas.
Railroads planned to. conform to
the Office of Defense Transporta-
ton order for 25 per cent reduc-
ton in passenger service rendered

German peace settlement.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministers
Council inched along toward final
agreement ON the kind of govern
ment to be set up over the proposed
international territory of Trieste.
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov
adding to the concessions by which
he had already broken the Trieste
deadlock, agreed last night that the
territorial governor should have veto
power over the foreign policy of the
locally elected government.
The governors primary task is to
see the local government does not dc
anything contrary to the statute of
Trieste which is now being written
into the italian peace treaty.
Two big questions remained in
working out this statute. First there
is Mr. Molotov'S demand that the
council fix deadline for removal
of British and American troops
from the territory. Second there is
his insistence that Yugoslavia be
given special economic rights in
the zone by the creation of Yugo-
slav-TrieSte customs union.
On both points he is opposed by
Mr.. Byrnes and NJ. Bevin, but dip
ionats familiar with the slow but
definite progress made on the
Trieste problem and the italian
peace treaty to date predict these
issues can be satisfactorily compro-
missed.
Parallel with these developments
inside the Council Italian and Yu-
gosiav leaders here were striving tc
find a common ground for negotiat-
ing a direct settlement of some OF
their border problem involved in
the prospective Trieste settlement

dor to Moscow, conferred for 9(

slav Foreign Minister Stanoje ST.

a U. N. inspection board see that
the figures are valid.
Further, the British were said to
feel that if all countries accept the
inspection board idea there will be
tangible evidence of sincerity
First Raised by Russia.
Under the British plan, the in
spection board would be allowed to
go into any United Nations member
country and count troops. 1t would
further be able to inform the United
Nations on their dispersal, both at
home and abroad.
The question of reporting on Al
lied troop strength abroad was first
raised by Soviet Russia in the Sc
curity Council last August, when
she proposed that United Nations
members be required to make public
the strength of their forces in nom
enemy countries.
The Security Council refused to
place the Russian proposal on the
agenda and Mr.. Molotov came forth
with new resolution yesterday
calling for report on troop strength
in former enemy as well as nan-
enemy countries.
Mr.. Molotov declared, however.
that an American proposal that
United Nations members submit fig
ures on all mobilized forces at home
and abroad should be taken up when
the Soviet arms limitation plan is
discussed later.
He sat tight when Senator Con-
nally, American delegate, indicated
dissatisfaction with this procedure
and demanded that "all the cards"
be laid on the table.
