SCHOOL NEWS
This has been Freshman Initia
tion Week with special attention
given to the prospective students
on Friday. During the week, ex
tra duties have been assigned to
the freshmen by the upper class
Students.
Most conspicuous of these duties
has been the free transportation of
books for the sophomores, juniors
and seniors. Morning and evening
the freshmen have faithfully car
ried the books home for the upper
classmen. The faculty wonders if
the advanced classes will continue
their homework in this manner
throughout the year. The work of
the freshmen is not entirely vol
untary but the visions of neatly
shaped paddles, together with a
scoring chart on the bulletin board
for recording instances of disobe
dience, leads them to comply with
most of the orders.
Today we scarcely recognized
the freshmen because of their fan
tastic apparel. At three o’clock
they were paraded down Front
Street so that the inhabitants of
Nome could share in the tradi
tional fun of school days.
The initiation will terminate in

Plumbers Union Pledges
$58,801 to Flc:3 Victims
In Missouri and Kansas
KANSAS CITY, (/P) — A union
has pledged $58,801 to victims of
July floods in Missouri and Kan
sas.

scribed Wednesday during the

a delicious lunch of ice. cream and
cake in the assembly. We will
then be proud to welcome the
freshmen to full membership in
the Nome High School.
Fall is a beautiful time of the
year and the harvest moon which
is now shining will be in full on
Saturday evening. The phenome
non is most pronounced in higher
latitudes and almost disappears at
I the equator. It is caused by the
i small angle which the moon’s or
! bit makes with the eastern hori
zon at this time of the year. It
rises earlier and makes a long
sweep along the horizon.
Propose Increase
Red Contribution
To United Nations
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (JP)—
Moscow will have to pay thou
sands of dollars more for the priv
ilege of making speeches in the
U.N. next year, if the U.N. com
mittee of contributions has its
way.
The committee, in a report made
public here yesterday, slapped an
increase of approximately 41 per
cent on the Soviet Union dues for
next year and cut the United
States assessment by about 5 per
cent.
If the assembly meeting in Paris
Nov. 6 approves the new scale of
contributions—and it usually does
—the Russians will pay 9.85 per
cent of the total cost of the U.N.
instead of 6.98 per cent and the
Americans will be cut from 38.92
per cent to 36.90.
The reduction for the United
States was approved over the bit
ter protests of A. A. Soldatov,
Soviet member of the committee,
who said that the U. S. really
ought to pay 50 per cent of the
entire bill, its economy was in
such good shape.
