Future Never Was
Brighter for Nome,
First City of Alaska

Joe Flakne of the Labor Rela-
tons Department fthe U. S. En-
gineers, accompanied by Mr.. Gill
lette who heads the labor divi-
sion for the U. S. Engineers in
the Portland area, were invited
by the Chamber of Commerce to
an open meeting on what the flu
ture holds for Northwestern Alas
ka, from their point of view.
Flakne, who is a graduate of
the University of Alaska, and is a
member of the Pioneers of Alaska,
used a polar route map as he re-
vealed the future of this area,
which he predicted never was
brighter. He drew a line from the
big world markets of Europe to
the Orient, and explained that be-
fore we realize it, all shipping of
heavy freight will be under the
polar ice, and the shortest route
to the Orient is via the Boring
Straits, which route cuts off more
than 5000 miles from the present
sea lanes of transportation.
The experiment at Cape Thomp-
son is a must, because when it is
proven successful, places like
Nome will be able to have a deep
harbor for the transpolar route.
Speaking of resources, Flakne
stated that the Japanese need our
resources, and ours is the nearest
coal, iron, timber and other min
erals source of supply, and be-
cause this route cuts off trans
portation costs, is the most desired
by Japanese business.
Flakne foresees a refinery in
the Kenai for the same reason.
Speaking on tourism, Flakne
urged Nomeites to think big, and
remember that they have the best
climate of any state in the union,
no crowds on the beaches, no
bugs, ants, spiders, snakes and
other such things to mar a per-
feet holiday. He praised the North
Star Hotel for excellent accommo-
dations, and the dining room, as
well as the view, and reminded
Nomeites they have the finest
scenery of any state.
He said that in the minds of
the majority of people every
where, Nome is the "First City of
Alaska"

WASHINGTON, R - Dainty
Dorcas Brewer, a 20-year-old Es-
kimo beauty born on an Alaskan
reindeer ranch. dazzled some
mighty important members of
Congress at a recent luncheon in
her honor.
Among the Senatorial guests at
the luncheon, held in the CapitoPs
old Supreme Court chamber, was
Sen. Hubert Humphrey, who re-
Gently withdrew as a candidate
for the Democratic Presidential
nomination.
Humphrey, to whom words
come easy, said he couldn't find
time to attend the luncheon pro-
per = but he made an appear
ance. He explained:
81 wanted to meet this lovely
girl, who is certainly food for the
spirit"
Dorcas. who blushed happily at
the comments concerning her at
tractiveness, was squirrel to the
luncheon by the Alaska Congress
sional delegation = Senators Err
nest Gruening and Bob Bartlett,
and Rep. Ralph Rivers.
Dorcas, who interrupted her
studies of anthropology at the
University of Alaska, currently is
on 35-city tour to plugfa movie
of "Ice Palace" Dorcas plays
featured role in the movie. OF
her own acting ability, she says:
81 should have done better, I
know, but it's been wonderful
experience.
She is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Tom Brewer, of Barrow,
and granddaughter of Charles
Brewer, author of the Alaskan
classic, Fifty Years Below Zero"
She was taken to meet Senate
Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson,
who came off the Senate floor to
say he was pleased to meet her.
Dorcas gave a souvenir Alaska
Golden Dollar" to him. johnson,
in return, gave her a ball-point
pen.
Bartlett, happy at her triumph,
said:
"This has been one of the most
delightful experiences I've had in
my 16 years in Washington. Dor
cas- is an admirable and beautiful
representative of Alaska"
'SThis is certainly welcome
change from the usual legislative
day." said Rivers. ALASKA can be
proud of this lovely young lady"
Gruening, who beamed. as he
introduced Dorcas to the many
legislators, had to cut short his
visit to make Senate speech.
Between being led from one
guest to another, Dorcas managed
to make these observations:
"I'm used to having a mile-long
backyard. It's amazing to realize
that people live SO jammsd to-
gether in the cities down here.
"I'm kept busy almost all the
time now on his tour but I get
an occasional weekend for a little
rest and personal life. r
II get pushed and pulled around
lot, but really I'm enjoying it.
I feel it's part Of the job.

Most track fans will tell you
that our Ray Norton, a 6-foot-2,
1S4-pound student at San Jose
College, is a shoo-in to win
that he looks like the most GER
tain winner you can find in any
Olympic event.
They have some good argu-
mentS. National champion in
1859, winner in the Russian
dual meet and Pan American
Games and with world record
times of 9.3 seconds for the
100 yards and 10.1 for the 100
meters, his record is tops. He
has also beaten each of his
principal rivals at least once.
But let's analyze the situa-
tion a little. Speaking generally,
Olympic certain winners" five
months before the games have
an odd habit of not winning.
Sometimes they don't even
make our team. Look at Charles
Fonville, the shot-putter; Har-
rison billiard in the high hur-
dies; and Gil Dodds before the
1948 games.
Why? 1t may be injury; il
may be a small fiuke at the try
outs themselves. But in the case
OF Sprinters, it Is more apt tc
be a pulled leg muscle. Modern
dash men seem particularly
prone to this occupationa]
hazard. Norton hasn't had this
difficulty yet. We all hope that
he won't. but you can't rule out
the possibility.
Let's look at his opposition
which may be keener in the
American tryouts than in the
final in Rome. Bobby Morrow
won both dashes in Melbourne
That was four years ago, but
Bobby is only "a years old, not
past his peak, even for a
sprinter. Ray beat him in 1859,
but Bobby suffered from a
pulled muscle most of the year.

Not only the weather has
been favorable to skiing this

to a considerable degree by the
extensive press and television
coverage of the recent Olym-

Skiers are now recognized par

madmen intent on self-destruc-

This interest is evidenced
by the increased use of ski
themes in press and television
commercial presentations.
Less than five years ago. such
a theme would be rejected as
having appeal only to a limited
audience. am convinced it is
now up to members of organ

There are many to whom I
have spoken especially after the

hurl themselves off so and 80

OLYMPIC OUTLOOK
By RALPH c. CRAIG

The short dash has always
been the premier event in the
Olympic Games. 1t was the
only event on the program of
the first recorded Olympic
Games in 776 BIC. Speed has
always been one of mans first
interests. In the earliest days,
it meant life itself. The saber-
toothed tiger ate the slower
runners who couldn't make the
tree first.
At the height of the Olympic
Games in ancient Greece, the
Olympiads-the Greeks four
year time measurement between
games-were named for the
winners Of the 100-meter dash.
Had this calendar been in effect
from 1912 to 1916, it would have
been called the Claig Olympiad.
Sounds silly, doesn't it? But
that is what the history books
tell us.
Even today the Olympic
champion in the 100 meters is
called the worlds fastest hu-
man."
So it is natural that sports
fans are interested in specu-
lating on who may win the 100
meters in Rome next August.

Drifting the ebb tide, we cast
the bucktail in the slow cur

Besides blues we caught jack

the most scrobatic Of all fishes,

topsail catfish will hit a lure

Of small, snapper blues and
why the bigger fish came inside
while the little fellows stayed
behind is puzzling. Usually the
big bluefish are caught offshore
while the snappers come up the
rivers.

Although Stuart is famous
for its sailfishing Git calls it's
self the sailfish capital of the
world. Raphel thinks that nu-
merous blue marlin could be
taken if the captains fished for
them.
1T takes a pretty big bait" "
he says. For sailf1sh we use
a smaller balao called bally-
hoo) or silver mullet."
Nevertheless, Raphel, who
holds an unofficial record for a
white marlin in the Bahamas
81 minutes from dockside-is a
great respecter of the acrobatic
sails.
Its a mighty impressive
sight when they're balling the
bait" he says. Balling the bait
only occurs during the peak
fishing time in January and
early February when the silvery
sailfish encircle great schools
of bait fish and create havoc
with their rapier-like bills.
Best sailfiSh months are from
mid-November to the end of
February. During a spectacular
run as many as 1000 have been
caught in a week and 10 to a

not uncommon. An annual
tournament is held in January.

Regards PompanO Highly
Bill has a high regard for
pompano. Almost everybody
knows that pompano is a deli
cious fish. Pompano en- papil-
lote (pompano in a bag) is a
Gulf Coast delicacy.
But did you know that a
good-sized pompano on light
spinning tackle can give a
fisherman a fight? In fact,
Abbott thinks that, pound for
pound, a pompano rates with
the best.
He might get an argument
from such as Capt. Ali Raphel
of the handsome 35-foot sport
fisherman Caribee who combs
the Gulf Stream some seven
miles offshore for sailfish, dol
phin, kings or whatever else
is running.
IF I only could catch one
fish it would be the dolphin. f"
Capt. Raphel says. Its the
most high spirited and the best
runner and jumper. Hook

pounds on spinning tackle and
you've got yourself some ac-

also the best. You can have

OF the older sprinters, Ira
Murchison has in the past
promised much. He finished
fourth in the 1856 Olympic
100. Also with brittle legs,
little Ira has only recently re-
covered from a serious opera
ton. The odds are against him
in 1860.

Cook, a junior at Oregon
seems to be the greatest new
threat. At this years Los
