Entered as second class matter October 14, 1943, at the postoffice
at Nome, Alaska, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
Nome, Alaska, Friday, December 7, 1951
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1941
On a peaceful Sunday afternoon, just ten years
ago, on the seventh of December, war came to the
United States after twenty-three years of peace. To
day, only six years after the close of the most recent
World War, the country is again threatened with world
war.
It is a painful realization for those who fought in
the last war and the loved ones of those who were
lost in that war, but the question today is the same
as it was in 1941—that of freedom or dictatorship. The
American people have never yet failed to rally against
a threat of dictatorship at home or abroad. Thus, it is
that Christmas, 1951, finds the country rearming in
great haste, building the strength of its armed forecs
back to millions.
Those of us who remember the dark days after
December 7, 1941, can only hope that America’s pre
paredness program, now in progress, will head off an
other world war. Had the United States been prepared
in the Pacific in 1941, it is quite probable that the
Japanese would not have ordered the treacherous at
tack on Pearl Harbor.
On the anniversary of the beginning of the last
war, this year, we should earnestly pray that the les
son of 1941 has not been forgotten, nor learned in
vain, and that we will be successful in our efforts to
prevent another war, by making our country strong
enough to discourage aggression from any quarter.
New District Attorney
Congratulated At Rotary
James von der Heydt, newly
appointed District Attorney for
the Second Division by President
Truman, was warmly congratu
lated by Rotary President Bill
Cameron and the club Thursday
noon at the Rotary luncheon. The
new D.A. responded by saying he
would immediately apply for all
possible sick leave, which for
some reason, got hearty applause.
Mr. von der Heydt said he was
very happy with the appointment,
and would, to the best of his
ability, try to fulfill the duties
of his office.
Dan Jones, program chairman,
said that ten years ago Friday,
the second World War started,
and perhaps we should give it a
moment’s serious reflection. Then
he introduced James Walsh of the
Pan American, who took the club,
via the magic carpet of sound
motion kodachrome film to beau
tiful Paris and the Riviera. The
only complaint from the Rotar
ians as they viewed magnificent
Paree, was that none of them
seemed to have accumulated-suf
ficient “annual leave.”
There were two Rotary birth
days — Bud Harper getting a
model bathroom fixture, and Paul
Mandeville a model washing ma
chine to mark the occasion.
Boyd Harwood took the big
and little door prize, even though
Carl Glavindvich thought he was

grand jury in September.
In Whittier, Calif., Hillings said
he intends to ask a congressional
investigation—leading to possible
impeachment proceedings — of
rulings by three federal judges
during the seven-month grand
jury probe. He did not name the
judges.
