 AT ROTARY LUNCHEON

At the regular noon luncheon Thursday, the Nome Rotary Club had as their guests G. R. Jack son, president of the Miners and Merchants Bank of Nome, and John Cross of Deering, ca sub urb of Nome,~.
 Following the luncheon, MT Jackson told the group about the intricacies of Washington when you want something done, such as the Nome Seawall.
 He stated that he and Carl Lo- men travelled many weary hours and miles in order to meet the necessary officials and Congress Senators and Representatives on the matter of getting the bill be- fore the two Houses.
 MT. Jackson read a copy of a letter he received from MT. Lomen which was addressed to the City Counsil and which is printed on another page of this paper.
 MT. Cross stated that he was of the impression that all people who live in this northern section consider themselves citizens ot Nome and he saw no reason for thinking otherwise as Nome is the most important town in the Northwestern Alaska area.
 Nomination of officers was the next order of business, and cleo tions were announced for nex' week.

New Bishop For Alaska Catholics Assumes Duties

SEATTLE, - (P) Pope Plus XII once remarked that Alaskan Bishops must be preserved by the SnoWs, but Alaska's new Catholic Bishop has no intention of test ing the theory. Instead, the Most Rev. Francis Doyle Gleeson hopes to avoid dog-sled travel whenever practical, he said last night.
 Leaving yesterday morning on the steamer Alaska to assume his new duties as vicar apostolic to the Northland, Bishop Gleeson plans to cover as much of Alaska this summer as possible.
 "I hope to visit all the main cities and all the missions" he said, "and that will call for air plane travel. I'm afraid that, at my age, any approach to stren- uous dog-sledding will have to be discreet"
 The new bishop, formerly of the Jesuit indian mission at Omak, will be formally installed at cere- monies in the Church of the Nat ivity in Juneau on May 30. Ac, companying him to Alaska to at

A couple days ago it hit 90 deg. and has been up in the sos most of the time the past three days. Heat, coupled with rain, makes it difficult for a Nomeite to trav- el at the speed that is required these days here in Washington to beat out the adjournment.
 It was fortunate that there was someone here watching the bill a setback such as it received Monday in the Senate could have killed the bill completely. am not certain just what the true reasons for having it go over but the fact that those responsible are now doing what they can to correct that mistake and support ing the measure, may prove an advantage to us rather than a disadvantage, as it directs special attention to the bill.
