LIONS SPONSOR KIDS
 HALLOWEEN SHINDIG, HOLIDAY WINDOW ART

Once again, in what the local Lions Club hopes will become a yearly event, there will be a chance for the youngsters to prove they have artistic talent. All they need do is to draw a picture or a scene on one of the business house windows along Front Street. Using water colors, of course.
 The time set aside for this will be Wednesday night, the evening of Oct. 30, the day before Hallow- cen night. On Thursday night there will be huge party and pro- gram for all pre-school children in the school Multipurpose Room. There the Lions will award the prizes to the winners of the win dow painting - and - there will be treats for every youngster there. Movies and games for all. It is also hoped there will be adults present so that they can participate in the evenings festi- vities.
 So all you future artists sharpen up your painting wits. The prizes are going to be big and a lot of them. Make your reservations for a window real soon.

Jet Dives into Cook Inlet Upon Return To EI1nendOrf

ANCHORAGE LR - An F192 Delta Dagger from the 3l7th Fight CT Interceptor Squadron at Elmen- dorf Air Force Base crashed into Cook Inlet this afternoon, within view of downtown Anchorage.
 The jet fighter apparently was one of the 317th's ace team return ing from William Tell aerial Weap- ons meet at Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla.
 The single-man aircraft crashed as welcoming party awaiting the arrival of the William Tell team at the air, base, just minutes from where the craft went down in the inlet.
 The plane apparently was mak ing low approach to the Elmen- dorf flight line because of drizzle and overcast skies.
 Heicopters and other rescue craft were sent immediately to the crash site. about three miles off Point Mckenzie and several hundred yards off the point of Anchorage.
 Maj. Gen. Raymond J. Reeves, commander of the Alaskan AIT Command, was notified of the crash as he waited to greet the William Tell competitors, who had placed second in the international Air Force competition.
 Wives of the William Tell team members also were in the party, waiting with the Air Force Band and other greeters.
 The welcoming party broke up quickly as Gen. Reeves made q quick departure in his staff car.
 Pilot of the plane was identi- fled as Capt. Terry F. Olmsted, East Peoria, Illinois.

It was further learned that in order for the city to receive these funds an appropriation in the 1864 budget approximating $25,O0O for a Public Works program will have to be made. Expenditures in this amount have already been planned for the new power and light plant, and will thus represent no addl- tional revenue to be raised by the City.
 Police Chief Bob Oliver reported that adjustments should be made in the new police car as drivers are presently experiencing fatigue in the long hours of driving in cramped and confined space. It was also suggested that provision be made for heating the rear of the car.
 At the present time the City of Nome is providing fire protection for the FAA, even though this area is out of the city's province. In providing this service the City is liable for any negligence that may occur, according to the city attorney. It was agreed that the city should continue to heed the summons of the calls, but should make their position clear to the FAA personnel. Councilman Keith Hedreen volunteered to take this up with MT. Ray Caudle, Station Manager for the FAA.
 AS there were no complaints filed against any of the present holders, liquor licenses were re- neWed for all applicants.
 A substitute for City Clerk Bob Scott, who will be on vacation for a period of six weeks, was con- sidered. There was no final action taken on this matter.
 It was decided that the City At torney, Mayor and Councilman Hedreen represent the City of Nome at the annual meeting of the Alaska Municipal League in Seward on Oct. 23-26. The Coun- cil voted, with only one dissent ing, to pay transportation and ex- penseS.

the merits and potential of Nome, expressing faith in a prosperous future for the city In his review of the history of the Veterans Elm ployment Act, the Wagner-Peyser Act was singled out as the most beneficial piece of legislation ever passed in behalf of veterans as it provided for job preference for those who have been in the coun- try's service.
 In Alaska, veterans represent a total of 1912 per cent of the total population and 46 per cent of the total male labor force. Nome has $50 veterans 124 from World War I, PA from World War II, l3 from the Korean Conflict, and l5 from other wars.
 The veterans agency. it was ad- vised, publishes job lists for vet erans each two weeks, which are distributed widely in Alaska. In further providing job opportunities there are II state employment agencies to handle the needs for placement. With the publications plus the agencies now in opera ton the number of jobs made avail able has increased greatly in the last few years.
 It is the hope of the agency, stated Potter, that Nome's Voca- tional School can be used to train veterans under his program. Cur rently, Potter is making a state survey on the characteristics of the veteran labor market in Alaska.

Water Source Remains Big Question At Nome City Council Deliberations

The proposed sewer and water project was the major topic of dis cussion among the City Fathers who met Monday evening before public audience of five, three of whom were city officials.
 A report on the Fairbanks meet ing of Nome'S mayor, Roscoe Wilke, City Attorney Thomas Ba- lone and Project Engineer E. s. Philleo, revealed that although a flat fee had been decided upon for the test boring for a water source, as yet no source has been found suitable for the citys needs and budget. This selection must be made by Nov. 10, in order to meet the requirements of the bonding company.
 It was indicated that Bourbon Creek may not provide the volume of water necessary for the city's needs and that the Snake River is susceptible to contamination and excessive salinity in case of high water and storm. With the pro- hibitive cost of bringing in water from Moonlight Springs, the pos sibility of Dry Creek as a pro- posed well site was discussed
 It was brought to the attention of the members by the city at torney that as the USSR&M has ownership to the land for the Bourbon Creek and Dry Creek sites, it will be necessary for the city to determine whether non- ownership of this land will meet with the approval of the bonding company's stipulations.
 Last years survey of the towns potential water and sewer GUS toners by Philleo Engineering, used in preparation of a feasi- bility study to present to the bonding company, was returned to the project engineer Philleo with minor amendments. This is the last item needed by this firm be- fore giving a bid on sale of the bonds.
 The City's additional grant offer of $34 ,630 from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Washington, DC, dated October l, was reviewed by Bob Scott, City Clerk, at which time it was dis covered that according to the docu- ment a reply of acceptance should have been sent no later than Co., tober II. AS this acceptance of the grant was already three days de- linquent, it was moved by Bob HarWoOd that a telegram of accep- tance be sent the following morn ing. Subsequent to the discussion of this matter, a telegram from the Chief of Construction Grants of the Public Works Dept. was read which urgently requested the May or of the City to reply to the offer.

Does your family eat lot
of eggs? Here are some point
ers on how to get the most
value from your egg purchases
and keep your budget in line.
All eggs are graded by the
us. DEPARTMENT. of Agricul
turre. For general cooking and
scrambling, Grade c or Grade
B eggs are satisfactory, and
usually cheaper. II you want
the eggs for frying, poaching
or boiling, however, you should
stick to Grade AA or A. The
higher grades have a better
quality yolk and white.
Large size eggs average only
u ounce per egg heavier than
Medium size. Always check the
price, to see il it's worth pay
ing more for the large size.
Buy eggs that are kept in a
refrigerated case. Warm tenn
peratures cause the whites to
thin out, and lower the quality
of the eggs. Eggs can spoil, and
should be covered. even in the
refrigerator. The egg carton is
a good refrigerator containcr,
and should be used.
