West Coast Movements Grind to Halt in Fog

PORTL AND R - Fog is con- tinuing to hamper travel and commerce on all of the Pacific Coast. Blankets of varying lnten- sity have covered some areas for several days.
 In the delta country above San Francisco Bay the Danish motor ship Pasadena slammed into the drawbridge at Antioch. Both the ship and the bridge were dam aged. The bridge was closed for eight hours, then one lane was opened for busy Highway "A traffic.
 The Los Angeles and Long Beach International Airports were closed twice this morning, and sea and land traffic in the Los Angeles area was hampered. A fishing boat and a tug collided in Los Angeles harbor, and free way traffic was damned at the rush hour this morning.
 The fog was so thick at Med ford, Oregon, that an air ambu- lance could not take off with two patients until the airport blanket was seeded with dry ice. The dry ice made a hole large enough to allow the plane to get into the air - to take the patients to Port land and Yakima, Wash.
 Throughout southern Oregon motorists had difficulty staying on highways. And the fog was so thick that many Wrecking cars couldn't find motorists who ended up in ditches.

Chamber Meeting News

Ter. Tex Zeigler, who calls lgloo home, is known to many here as a bush pilot and eX-trader from Mary'S Igloo. He is currently do- ing camera work with Pete Waxler, a film producer. The pair are shooting scenes to be used in the movie, "The Amerl- canization of Emily" The movie, based on World War II story ma- terial, has nothing to do with the Arctic except in the last scene. This is the scene being filmed here.
 Wexler spoke to the Chamber members relative to his work. lie advised that Alaska has much to offer the film industry insofar as natural beauty, but that the state is doing very little - public rela- tions-Wise - to encourage the producers and entice them north' He related that movie producers are of the opinion that costs are too high in Alaska and that 1llm production here would be pro- hibitive.

Jaycee Blood Buggies Haul Six-and-Thirty

A total of 36 Nomeites responded to the plea for blood-typing at the MIMI Hospital Saturday morning. While it was an encour- aging beginning, it was certainly not, they are convinced, complete tally of the citizens in this area who do not have their blood type on record locally.
 Despite the prospects of com fortable ride in the Blaming Blue Bus, there was practically no re- sponse in the early hours of the drive, which prompted them to believe that later in the morning or early afternoon would be more convenient for this late rising population. The opportunity to prove this supposition will be offered immediately following the holiday season when the Nome Jaycees will again cooperate with the M-M-M Hospital staff in a re- peat effort to give area residents chance to contribute to their own welfare.
 Watch for future news about this program, and plan now tC participate, suggest Jaycee off cials.
