CHALK UP: ONE YEAR OF PROGRESS
Last Monday evening the City Council members
■completed their year of service to the city and turned
over,the management of Nome to the new group of
council members. . . .. : _ „, .
In looking back over the year there is much pro
gress to be noted and credited to this body of citizens
who work without pay arid are xriore apt to get criti
cism for their efforts than praise. s ,
Among their achievepie^,^yvbe iricliidea.,'6he
first step in sanitary garbage disposals with -the pqr
chase of east end property for that purpose. Although
there is ipuch to be ..done, at least a start has been
jriade. A badly needed school annex has been added.
Firelines have been {expended iri three directions
through th city and old mams improved. Taxes were
lowered. The breakwater was completed and the neces
sary funds set aside for maintenance..
Many problems confront the new city officials,
such as the projected sidewalk t othe hospital; gutter?
for our streets; juvenile delinquency and observance
of the curfew; the finishing of the numbering of streets
and houses as projected by the Boy Scouts but never
completed; a ’ ” ' arid fire code; improved housing.
$120,000,000 SPENT IN MEXICO
A year or so ago the foot-and-mouth disease broke
out in Mexico and it was feared that the scourge would
follow the example of the boll weevil and cross the
RioOrande to take a fearful toll of our cattle.
Realizing this, the government of tKe tlnited
States sent experts to Mexi^ fcjEm the disease,
spending something like $120,000,000 to eradicate it.
The money was, no doubt, well spent.
That the Mexicans benefited i^ beside the point.
Our cattle were protected and the nation probably
avoided a more expensive campaign against the dis
ease in this country.

INTELLECTUAL CURIOUSITY
LED MOVIE ACTOR TO JOIN
THE COMMUHIST PARTY 4.
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Screen
actor Marc Lawrence told the1
House Unamerican Activities com
mittee that intellectual curiosity
; % 4
. . . “I was a curious kind of a
schmoe” — led him to join the I
Communist party. He said it was
“an unholy mistake.”
Lawrence named screen actor
Lionel Stander as “the guy who;
introduced me to the party line.”
The actor testified that, after he
. * r •
came to Hollywood in 1938, Stand
er told him to go to classes at
j
which Communists made speeches. ■
“These guys confused me, they
gave me a headache. After about i
12 of these meetings I left.” First,
however he said he signed a card
at the request of someone—using
a name he picked out of a news
paper and has since forgotten.
