Visitor Reminisces Over Early Days of Nome

MT. and Mrs. Claude Gordon Shea of Bellingham, Wn., visited Nome over Friday night and en- ioyed reminiscing over the files of early day Nome in the Nugget office MT. Shea was the first child to be carried over the Chil- coot Pass and was in Nome from 1900 until 1909 Later he was a U. s. deputy marshal at Seward.
 His wife is a cousin of Bertha Mckay, also a former Nome resi- dent and now City Clerk for the city of Ketchikan. Shea's father, Gordon Shea, was owner of the famous Gold Rush saloon called The Lacey and was himself a prominent basketball player on one of Nome's championship teams. Reading the papers of that era brought back many memories of former days and old friends.
 The couple came to Alaska as winners of a essay contest held ia Fairbanks.

Young Doug Jones Wins the GO-Kart

Douglas Jones, 12-year-old son of FAAer Jess Jones, held the winning ticket in the Arctic Club drawing Sunday evening" The prize, a $40O Go-Kart was raf- fled by the Arctic Club as part of it's year around project of making the Nome Dog Race purse the largest in Alaska.
 A 3-speed record player, the prize for the seller of the winning ticket, was won by an Arctic Club member and donated back to the club to augment the Dog Race purse.
 Young Douglas was attending a movie at the time of the draw ing and didn't find out about his good fortune until returning home. Approximately seven sec onds later he arrived, panting, at the door of Del Kampmann's home, where the Kart was stored, to see if it was being taken care of properly. At first it was thought he was the advance guard of Sioux uprising, but it turned out that he took a spill off his motor scooter the day before and the 'warpaint' was merely iodine. Father Jess cracked a rib and blackened an eye in the same pileup, said Dick Galleher. The advantages of the Go-Kart with four wheels on the ground, will be readily apparent, no doubt.
 The Arctic Club voiced it's ap- preciation to Bob HarWood and the Midnight Sun Festival Com mittee for the help given in the raffle and all those who sup ported the sale of tickets. The dog races play an important part in attracting visitors to Nome, but it takes the support of every one to make a large purse a reality. For this reason Arctic Club stated it's special apprecia- ton to those who made the raffle a success-the ticket buyers.

Several patients, by their own preference, chose to remain on Metrecal with supplementary food increasing their calorie in- take to the appropriate level.)
 Dr. Roberts lists nHnlerOHs ad- vanfages which he found in fhe uSe of Merecal. Among Them:
 1) "Metrecal is of considerable value in both the initiation and maintenance of marked weight loss without insulting the body's metabolic economy 9 Tt has been used without apparent detri- ment in a panorama of medical disorders" 3 Tt gives the phy- sician several weeks in which to instruct the patient concerning proper diet therapy and the more pertinent pitfalls and fallacies in weight reduction" 4) Tt provides a defnitive and practical method of helping patients to successfully reduce during periods of elno- tional crisis" 5 "It eliminates guesSWork and inconvenience of calorie counting" 6 1t gets the patients away from the table" '" ?

LIT. KOOeTIS Sluuy, WHICH lll- volved weight reduction with Met recall, was conducted among 57 private patients who were in need of prompt weight loss because of serious or progressive medical dis orders, impending surgery, or chronic obesity not remedied by standard dieting.
 In his report, pr. Roberts stressed the importance of inStill- ing in the patient proper psycho- logical attitudes toward obesity, dieting and weight loss prior to commencing and during a weight reduction program-and he found Metrecal helpful on this count. A high degree of patient approval of the product ''immeasurably sim plified both the initiation and maintenance of effective long term programs for weight reduc- tion," he stated.
 Weieht losses in Dr. Roberts patients ranged from l 10 I2 pounds after one week, from 4 10 24 p0undS after one month, and from 8 10 g pounds after six weeks.
 While there was considerable variation in the programs under taken by individual patients, the general system was as follows:
 D A 900 calorie per day Metre cal diet for from 5 days to weeks Gall patients started on Metrecal alone).

Rotoflow Water Ratification Plant

 Chemicals are drawn into the rotoflow in precise measure, based on analysis of the water before installation. Once precessed, posi- tive Altering action removes all chemical taste. The unique de- sign of the foolproof sand filter forces an automatic cleansing of the filter at the exact instant it is required. After approximately seven hours of uninterrupted pro- cessing, a backwash process thoroughly cleans the filter with in three minutes. The unit then automatically reverts back to pro- cessing.
 The cost of a rotof1ow unit is usually less than that of a well. Tn various parts of the country even deep-well water has proved unsafe for drinking because of various types of pollution. While we'll water may be pronounced perfectly safe at the time the well is built, it can become contani- mated within a few years. As all contamination, even from sewage, can be eliminated by the roto- flow, it's manufacturers expect that it will eventually replace wells in areas where water can be brought to the site economic ally.

Resolution Adopted for New Reception Center At Anchorage Airport

SEATTLE M j. A resolution urging federal construction of an international reception center at Anchorage has been adopted by the Resolutions Committee of the American Municipal Congress, George H. Eyer, Mayor of An chorage said Tuesday.
 Eyer, here for the 28th An- nual Congress in the Olympic Hotel, pointed out to the Resolu- tions Committee that the Anchor age International airport is among the five top American air ports for International travel and is host to world leaders, ambassa- dors, diplomats, businessmen, stu dents and travellers from the world over.
 Anchorage has proposed con- struction of reception center which would provide adequate fa- cilities for world travellers and would include a picture story and displays of America, depicting it's ideals, customs and ways of life, Eyer said.
 Anchorage is a world air stop between foreign countries on the Polar Route, Europe and the Far East" Eyer said. 'sThe facility would replace the present tiny lounge which is greatly inade- quate.
 "We feel that it would afford many foreign travellers who do not plan to visit the United States to become acquainted with our cul- ture during their stopover. We feel it would be great assistance to the governments mutual se- curity program"

A new Northwest industry was On it's way last week when the first commercial Rotoflow Water Purification Plant was assembled by the Northwest Filter Go, of Seattle. Thorough testing was con ducted prior to delivery to the Bangor, wn. Naval Ammunition Depot. Rotoflow is the nations first package water qualification plant designed for use by home and industry.
 A test rotoflown unit has been operating on the Duwamish River for several months, producing clear, safe drinking water from the muddy, contaminated stream. Probably most amazing is the fact that the rotoflow process eli- inmates obnoxious odors and actually makes the water delicious to the taste.
 Local industrialists have refused to believe it until they saw for themselves, and then enthusiasm has waxed quickly. Many hun dreds of dollars can be saved by converting available water to usable form.

 Williams was winding up q six- week goodwill and fact-findins trip across this troubled continent.
