Rotary Re-absorbs Famous
Speeches of Late History
Britain’s present shock over the
sudden announcement of the
death of beloved King George VI
was sympathetically refelt by
Nome’s Rotarians Thursday when
they listened on their current re
corded “You Are There” history
program to the sudden announce
ment of the death of the late
Franklin D. Roosevelt at Warm
Springs.
Rotarians also remembered one
of the presidential aspirants who
pooled the greatest Republican
vo'te ever cast—dynamic Wendell
Wilkie, who traveled 18,000 miles
in 51 days under the booming
cheer of a people who yelled “We
want Willkie.”
The Democratic candidate that
year was also a very dynamic
personality who went on to win
his third and fourth terms in
precedent-breaking history. It was
this President who alerted the na
tion on a Sunday, Dec. 8, that we
had been “suddenly and deliber
ately attacked” at Pearl Harbor,
and the nation forgot its internal
differences.
The words “the Slot” “the
hump” “bazooka” and“M-l” were
born, and finally a gray President
sat at the Congressional Rostrom
reporting on Yalta—“The future
is in your hands.”
Then a new voice announced
that the San Francisco U. N.
Charter Conference would go on.
in memory of Roosevelt, and “that
with a heavy heart I stand before
you.”

Dewey Goodrich, club secretary,
announced that the magazine “Ro
tary” would be placed in a num
ber of reading rooms in the com
munity.
Guests of the club were Leonard
Johnson, Bourrough’s Adding
Machine Co., Russell Arnett, U.S.
Commissioner for Nome, and Wal

Refining and Mining Co., Nome
Branch.

Flood At Elephant Point
From Elephant Point comes the
news that in January there was
a terrible flood in the village with
24 inches of water in the ANS
light plant and storehouse.
The natives woke up during the
night and many of them found the
water from Eschscholtz Bay up to
their houses. All worked hard to
save their belongings from the
icy water. Only one dog was lost,
it is reported.
After the water had receded,
the people realized what a nar
row escape they had had from
the ice which is 30 inches thick.
If the ice had raised only a few
mbore inches it would have taken
the village.
It is reported they plan to move
the village to higher ground.
George Madsen, of the Polar
Bar and Curio Shop, returned to
Nome after an absence of over a
year. George has been living in
the country at Suquamish, where
he is building a new home for
his family and doing a little farm
ing.
