Figures Challenged
Mr.. Emory said that aside
from the cheap money" the
cooperative would get from the
REA, it doesn't make ANY
sense to build this plant" He
also challenged figures pro-
1uced by the cooperative which
claim it would be cheaper for
the cooperative to generate its
own power.
Richard Popham, representa-
tive of a Chicago engineering
firm which is drawing plans
for the coop plant, testified
yesterday that the cooperative
would save sos million over the
next Is years if it builds its
own plant rather than contin-
uing TO buy from PEPCO.
Mr.. Popham said that. based
in the present rate, the CO.
operative would pay PEPCO
$55, 765.774 over the next IS
years. He said it would cost the
cooperative S46.244,241 to gen.
crate its own power.

PEPCO Raps
Subsidy for
Coop Plant
BY PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

/ BALTIMORE, Oct. 5.-A
lawyer for the Potomac Electric
Power Co. charges that the
. Government is Substituting" a
proposed power generating
plant operation which would
compete with PEPCO in South
ern Maryland.
The statement by Richard w.
Emory was made yesterday in
a hearing before the State
Public Utilities Commission on
a request by Southern Mary
land Electrical Cooperative,
Inc, for permission to build an
$18.7 million power plant in
st. MaryS County.
The cooperative now buys
its electricity from PEPCO, but
plans to build a power plant
because it claims it can gen.
crate its own electricity cheaper.
The Rural Identification Ad-
miniStration has approved an
$l8,736,OO0 loan to the CO.
operative for construction of
the plant near Hughesville. The
35-year loan carries 2 per cent
interest.
Rate Held Subsidy
Mr. Emory called the 2 per
cent loan Government sub
sidy" and said that without
this low interest rate it would
not be economically feasible
for the cooperative to build a
plant.
| He said PEPCO has to pay
around 434 per cent interest
on money it borrows. The
Federal Government itself has

rows than it IS charging IN

said.
PEPCO is planning to build
a power plant at Chalk Point
in Prince Georges County in

has plans for another one later
at Morgantown in Southern
Maryland.

 with published and the supporting charts and maps are available at the Nugget or the M and M Bank.
 Everyone interested in having this school in Nome should avail themselves of the opportunity of knowing what is being done to have this school built here, where it will be located, and why Nome is the only possible site for this importance institution.
 This report has been submit ted to the State Board of Educa- ton.
 People-Nome is a bi-racial community with the Eskimo people consisting about 709o of the population. English is spoken almost exclusively. The major groups of people cooperate well in Nome and discrimination is non-existent as far as the general public is concerned. The white people of Nome reflect many diff ferent nationalities and the people of Nome reflect the informality that is characteristic of frontier land such as Alaska.
 Business - The businesses of Nome include bank, two hard ware stores. three grocery mar kets, three clothing stores, an army surplus store, three hotels, bakery, number of eating houses including one of the finest and most modern in Alaska, a bar bership, radio repair hop, jeWelry store, drug store, several shops selling native arts and crafts, newspaper, bars, liquor stores, pool hall, and theater. Nome has one closed TV circuit station KNOM-TV and one radio station KICY. There is a modern electric light and power system, a telephone system, three gas stations, and three oil retailers who supply fuel oil with which 95% of Nome's buildings are heated. There is cold storage plant, two water delivery companies, two laundries, a dry cleaning establishment, two sani- tary service companies, a beauty shop, paint store, and an appli- ance repair service. Nome is served by two major airlines and several independent bush air craft operators who, together with steamship freight offices, handle intra-Alaska and Alaska--States transportation needs. Garages, several cab companies and private vehicles provide for local trans portation.
 Civic Groups-For a town of 2,300 Nome is generously endowed with civic groups and service or ganizations: Rotary, Lions, Cham Der of Commerce, Jaycees, Ma sons, Eastern Star, Home Arts Club, Beta Sigma Phi, The Arctic Club, the Alaska Pioneers, and the Arctic Native Brotherhood are the adult groups. Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Civil Air Patrol Cadets, Sky Pilots of America, and var ious school groups and activities are the children's groups.
 
 Recreation-Nome is an ideal place for the sportsman, primarily in summer, spring, and fall. Ptar- migan are the most sought-after game birds. Fox, wolf, wolverine, ground squirrel, and an occasional bear and moose are game animals. Polar bears are hunted, often by air, to the north of Nome. Seal, walrus, oogruk, and an occasional beluga whale are also found in the area. Fishing is excellent,

popular as a recreation. Inefe are many hills within walking dis tance of town and in the summer months these are covered with many varieties of small wild flowers and berries. A growth of willow brush covers portions of the hills, although the town it. self is treeless
 For those who prefer indoor recreation during the winter months, there is television, radio, the theater, frequent basketball games, very active bowling league, and dances. Ice skating and skiing are popular outdoor winter sports. Various civic and social organizations sponsor many gatherings and functions during both winter and summer, and there is much friendly visiting and entertainment in private homes, especially during the win ter.
 Communication - It is possible to call any point in the United States or Canada-or the world from any place in Nome. Excel lent telephone and telegraph con- is provided by the Communication System through the White Alice" system. Mail is received from Outside and most local points every day ex- cept Sunday. All mail and parcel post between Nome and Fair banks and Anchorage (and iso- lated villages is sent via air at regular parcel post or first-class rates as no other method of trans portation is available Also, the elusive and impossible-to-define system of information known throughout Alaska as "mukluk telegraph" is quite real to many of us, and is often amazingly ef- fective.
 Transportation For heavy freight, Nome is served directly from Seattle by the Alaska Steamship Company with three ships Sometimes four) each sum- mer-late in June, mid-August, and early or mid-October. No passengers are carried by these ships. Nome has no harbor and it is necessary to trans-ship freight from where the ships anchor, mile out, to the Nome ietty and wharfage facilities. There are several hundred miles of roads in the area connecting mining camps and villages, although most of these are closed by snow in the winter. There is at present no road connecting Nome with the population centers of Alaska, and all persons coming here must necessarily travel by air.
 Churches-The four larger de- nominations at Nome include Methodist, Catholic, Lutheran, and Covenant. The smaller churches include Church of the Assembly of God. Nome Gospel Home, and the Bible Bap- tist Church. All churches have adult and youth programs in ad- dition to their regular services.
 Medical-Nome has a splend- idly equipped 29-bed hospital with an approved rating by the American Medical Association. The MaynardMcDougal Mem orial Hospital is operated by the Methodist Church and is a parti- cirS,t in the Blue Cross and Blue Shield medical plans. Although poliomyelitis is practically non- existent in the Nome area, an iron lung has been added to the wide variety of modern. up-tO-
