Some of the projects which have material ized due to Chamber effort or are in the making include the Vocational School; Teller Road, visit of the Seadragon, new chapter of the Chamber at Una lakleet; development of the Mid night Sun Festival; promotion of the Nome-Fairbanks Road; price of gold; missile sites; water and sewerage and school expansion.

 Referring to the water and sewerage problem which has been under study for several years Harwood said, i've don't have to live this way. What we pay for these services could amortiZe the needed sanitary and modern sys- tenn so badly needed"

Bartlett Seeks Funds For Research in Vast Forests of Interior Alaska

WASHINGTON R - Sen. E. L. Bartlett sought funds yesterday for research to unlock the mys- teries" of the vast forests of in- terior Alaska.
 In letter to Secretary of Az riculture Orville Freeman, who has jurisdiction over the Forest Service, Bartlett asked that funds lon the order of $350,000" be re- quested for an Alaska Forestry research facility.
 Such facility" Bartlett wrote, would deal with renew able resource which would never become exhausted if properly cared for"
 Pointing out that Alaska's in- terior forests cover an estimated 100 million acres, Bartlett said the forests are so inaccessible that the Forest Service did not include them in survey of United States forests.

School Board Sums Up the
 Facts and Figures

Members of the Nome School Board presented a program at PTA meeting last night explain ing facts, many of which were little known to the parents present.
 School Board President George Bayer stated the total budget for the year will be S352,000 and broke it down showing that this, if taken out of the community meant that each man, woman and child would give $175.00. How ever the community's share is one fourth of the budget bring ing the amount to $72,000.
 Ash Craft explained how the budget was worked out in fine detail and how it averaged about $440.0O per student per year.
 Roy Snyder gave fine account of what goes into maintenance of a school this size and explain ed in detail how the expenses crop up. The next major repair he stated would be air condition ing for the gym where so many public functions are held and large crowds gather.
 Dorothy Grant explained the use of the $8O,00O recently allow ed the school due to federal im- pact and how difficult it will be to add two rooms with this sum when eight new school rooms are needed. It had been hoped that more than this amount would be allowed due to the need here, as about $3OO,000 will be necessary to complete the eight rooms.
 With a nine hundred dollar pro- fit on hand from the sale of school calendars the PTA had a lively discussion on how the money was to be spent. At the time the money was raised it was announced that the proceeds would go toward PTA-School projects, however, lleW plOJCCtS WCAC oloSOooSo ~ the meeting and a motion passed for $500 to go toward playfield equipment. Ensuing discussion, however, brought out the need of a committee investigation on this project before the money be actually appropriated.
 The organization voted $1OO for memorial to Olaf Halvorsen, teacher, who passed away last year. The money will be spent toward the binding of periodicals such as the National Geographic to be kept in the school library. It was indicated that this should be a perpetual memorial but at the same time considered inn proper to cucumber funds of the PTA for future years at this time.
 Miss Alice Crocker was intro duced as a new teacher and her room was awarded the coveted Ant Farm for the month for hav- ing the most parents present.

Rep. Rivers Disappointed At Presidents Action
 To Raising the Gold Price

WASHINGTON RIRep. Ralph Rivers said yesterday he is dis appointed in President Kennedy's intention not to raise the $35-an- ounce price of gold.
 Although he thought the Presi- dents State of the Union Message Monday "masterful summary" Rivers said he was disappointed in a comment that the administra- tion will mot take any action to increase the dollar price of gold"
 Rivers has introduced a bill to increase the price to $70 an ounce for newly mined domestic gold without changing the internation- al trade basis of $35 an ounce.
 He described his bill as "an effort to solve the purely domestic problem of our gold miners with consequent increase in the flow of gold to our Treasury, without undermining the free worlds in- ternational monetary system based upon the American dollar"
 "I shall continue to presist along this line," he said.

while he convalesces from surgery is testimony
to the high esteem in which the comedian is held
by his peers.
It was Danny Thomas first. followed by Ed
Sullivan, Garry Moore and. come Tuesday Jackie
Gleason and Arthur Godfrey. The last two will
be doing what comes naturally-namely, talking
and it could be fun, if they follow the pattern
of their ad-lib chinfests of a season ago.
They probably didn't decide on their topics
until they met is seconds before tape-time. but
we hope they get around to the subject OF the
decline of comedy and perhaps, as case in
point the various Gleason projects. few Of which
have anything to do with comedy.

Safety Council Issues
Warning To Boaters

the jetties do not show above the
water at high tide.
1t is also important for small
boat operators to realize that there
is swift current in the river, Mr..
Ashton said. Before attempting to
go swimming or rowing in the
river, or venturing out in a boat
with an unreliable motor, it is we'll
to throw a stick in the river and
see how fast the current carries
it away to get an idea of the cur
rents speed, he suggested.
Another of the dangers that go
with boating on the Delaware, he
continued, is the heavy traffic of
fast moving freighters and tankers.
Small boats must not only keep
out of their way, but must be care
full of their wake which can easily
swamp an overloaded small boat,
he said.
In areas of the Delaware Bay
where small boat traffic is heavy,
it is essential for the safety of
all concerned that boat operators
know and practice the pilot rules.
Mr.. Ashton also reminded boat
operators to:
L. Inspect your boat and equip
ment before you leave the dock or
mooring.
2. Be sure the boat is not over
loaded and has the freeboard need
ed to fend off rough water or wake.
3. Instruct passengers ON safe be-
haviOr in the boat, and to remain
with the boat if it capsizes.
4. Respect the rights of water
skiers. swimmers, and fishermen.
5. Garry fire extinguisher, wa
ter proof first aid kit, repair kit,
spare parts, and extra fuel in a
safe cOntainer.
6. Be sure your anchor and line
are the right size.
Z. SEE that you have life pre-
server for each passenger, your
bailing device, your whistle or
horn. and the required lights.

Key to the film are the guns

seven months in the actual making,
with the full cooperation of the
Greek government.

commando major, and Greek star

er Carl Foreman, who was respon-
sible for High Noon",, Cham
