Many Guests At Rotary History Session Thursday


 Pete Hahn, Nome High School coach, and Herb Williams, 7th and 9th grade teachers, were guests at Thursdays Rotary luncheon. They were recognized as leaders of the Rotary-sponsored Boy Scout Troop as a part of Scout Week.
 Also guests of the club were Bert Nelly, deputy marshal, Kot- zebue; Frank Long, arts and crafts, the Dept. of the Interior, Washington, D.C.; and Jack Peck, Alaska Airlines, Anchorage, all of whom listened with the club to the last session of Rotary'S cur rent review of history via re- cordings.
 Tom Dewey, a presidential can didate, said he would not be a party to the vicious mud slinging, but the Missouri farmer who won the campaign seemed to feel quite at home in what he called bring ing a report to the people,"
 The odds on that campaign campaign were Is to l, poll-wise, but the American people chose not to be just figures in a poll index-they voted, secretly, quite as individuals.
 They had been through a strange period of changes-Berlin's block ade of 321 days and the mighty airlift that moved five billion pounds of materials into beleag- cred West Berlin, the rebirth of Israel after 2,000 years, the re- volt of Tito, and the communist spread over the face of China. The United Nations was now building it's headquarters on Man hatten where the Russians were using the veto.
 It had been a period of changes that made possible Americas time for greatness.
 The series was made possible through the courtesy of Hap Eb- erly.

 John McNees reported that there were no Rotarians in the Mt. Mckinley area the day they were there, and Les Bronson ex- plained how he almost became a Lion by going to the wrong res taurant in Anchorage when he thought he was guesting at the Anchorage Rotary.
 Coach Hahn said the basketball tourney would be at Fairbanks next week and that Nome is en- tering the Class A bracket.

He did not need to look at the
map he carried. It's meager de-

running across the paper and be-
side it the crudely lettered words
"Squaw Crick." To one side,
which he judged TO be north, was
crudely drawn circle with the
words Pony Butte" scrawled be-
side it About halfway between
the creek and the butte were two
small, unidentified circles, and
midway between the circles a
rough cross. What the circles
represented he had no idea, al
though he was fairly well con-
vinced that the cross must repre-
sent the spot where Meisendorfs
treasure was buried. There were
men in the train who had heard
of Squaw Greek and had a vague
idea that il was a minor creek

most of the year and burst into
food only In the spring season Of
torrential rains. As TO where il
was, they had no idea, except that
ii was somewhere in the Jornada,

of spot called by any name that
even resembled Pony Butte.
