Nome Merchants
Hoopsters Score
18th Straight Win

The Nome Merchants express
rolled on to their 18th victory in
a row last Friday when they de-
rallied a stubborn Lomen Com
mercial Five 54-49 while the Nam
ooks edged out a fighting 10th
Radio team 1896.
In that first game, the Mer-
chants would run up good lead
over the Commercials only to
have them fight back and close
the gap. The game wasn't decided
until the final two minutes when,
as the score read 5O-49 in the
Merchants favor, they iced the
contest with two quick baskets,
winning out 54-49.
The Merchants led all the way,
1912, $500, 44-35, and were
paced by the two Bell brothers,
George and Harold, who scored 20
and 10 points respectively. Others
scoring for the winners were
Gary Longley 6, Arnie Castel S,
AL Sahlin and Roy Luke 2 each.
For Lomens, Herb Williams 10,
John Schellenbach Is, Larry Ok
pealuk 6, Vince Ahkolik 4, and
Perry Kagoona 2.
The Nome Nanooks in the
meantime had winning streak of
their own going as they made the
10th Radio their fourth victim.
The high school led throughout
most of the game, 1872, 1920,
1925 and the final 1896. There
were several occasions that the
Radiomen rallied to tie the game
up before the Nanooks jumped to
the lead again.
For the high school, BuZzy
Swanberg Is, Bob Herman II,
Sam Mogg 7 and Robert Sum-
mers 6. Don Knipp paced the
losers with Is points, George Toll
bert 8, Gene Peek, 5, Kelly 3, Bob
Logan and Pete O'Brien 2 each.
Two arch-rivals will clash tomor-
row evening in the feature game
when the Merchants and Nanooks
tangle for the fourth time this
season. In their last meeting, the
Nanooks put up a fight for three
quarters before succumbing to the
Merchants attack. The records for
the two teams to the present stand
at 1910 for the Merchants and
90 for the Nanooks. In the first
game, the Detachment 23rd meets
the lowly Air Force Five.

opposition. In California recently,
the roads commission reported
businesses on highway that was
by-passed flourished when people
in the area realized they could
reach the by-passed establish
mentS without battling a steady
stream of cross-country traffic.
The individuals hurt most by
unrestricted roadside develop
ment are the businessmen them
selves. First, they become so
numerous they "cut the pie" too
many times, and second, they
eventually force the highway to
be relocated. Thus the very
foundation of their business is
pulled from under them.
Backers of the Boone-Robinson
bill are optimistic about its chanc-
es, but are not leaving any pos
sibilities to gain support unat-
tended. They have invited all in
terested groups, such as the
farm Grange, the garden clubs,
and labor organizations to join
with them in a central, statewide
committee to campaign for the
bill.
Locally, the Maryland Advisory
Board of the D. c. AAA is plan
ming legislative dinner for Fri
day, Dec, II. Their approval of
the Roadside Protection bill will
be outlined and explained to
members of the Maryland legisla-
ture from Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties. Mean
while, the Maryland Automobile
Club is holding similar MEETINGS
within their jurisdiction.
BY the time the bill comes to
the Judicial Committees of the
Legislature, the automobile clubs
feel certain they will have enough
public support to insure its pass
age at the forthcoming session.

The Harold Hintons, of Viers

among whom was one who was

Thanksgiving - an English girl,
Mrs. Michael Beers. The Beerses,
of Ann Arbor, Michigan, were
visiting the Hintons for the
week end. Mr.. Beers is a
Canadian.
The meeting of the Hintons
and the Beerses was quite UNI
unusual - they met while noun
tain climbing last summer. The
first meeting was during their
climbing in Rocky Mountain
National Park, in Colorado, and
both couples were amazed and
delighted to meet each other
again while climbing in Teton
National Park, in Wyoming,
later on in their vacations.

Auto Club Starts Drive to Halt
Commercial EncrOachment on Roads

A campaign for legislation
that will halt commercial en-
croachment on the States high
ways has been launched by the
Automobile Club of Maryland
and the D. c. Division, American
Automobile Association which
serves the surrounding Maryland
counties.
Maryland's new legislature will
have a long list of high priority
legislation to consider, but one
bill-the object of the AAA cam
paign-that is sure to generate
interest is entitled, Roadside Pro
tected Highways"
The bill will be introduced by
two veterans of the General AS
sembly, A. Gordon Boone, of Bal
timore County, and Jerome Rob-
inson, of Baltimore City, who pill
oted similar legislation to within
few votes of passage at the last
session of the State Legislature.
BackerS of the bill hasten to
point out that roadside protection
is no longer solely an esthetic
proposition championed by nature
lovers. According to the automo-
bile clubs, roadside protection is a
taX-saving measure needed now,
in view of Maryland'S $562-mil-
lion 12-year road building pro-
gram.
The modern conception of road
side protection is designed to halt
the strangulation of the States
superhighwaysf by unrestricted
commercial development on the
land AUDITING them. For a prime
example of what they are trying
to prevent, the motor clubs point
to U. S. l between Washington
and Baltimore. Once a fine wide,
highway that easily handled the
traffic load, 1t has become an eX-
tended city street and a traffic
bottleneck.
Another classic case of unre-
stricted roadside development re-
ducing a road to the point of near
uselessness is u. S. 40 between
Baltimore and Aberdeen. Two
years ago the State Roads Com
mission lamented the fact that
the road was inadequate but was
expected to last until 1860 when
built Now u. S. l has been relo.
Gated, and U. S. 40 will also be
moved.
