In the early days the ox-carts
brought furs from Winnipeg to
Minneapolis. The large wooden
wheels could be heard gerat dis
tances because of their squeaking
noise. The traders with their carts
followed the old “Pembina Trail”
or sand ridge which was the for
mer shoreline erf a large prehistric
lake. The sand ridge was a natur
al trail of travel in that it was
composed of sand and gravel.
Drainage was prefect and so the
wheels of transportation sought
out this this natural thoroughfare.
The wheel was a great invention
and brought about many changes
in civilization. Many of the theo
rems in geometry deal with the
circle and are of vital interest
from a practical standpoint.
A trial evacuation of all school
children was held on Monday
morning at 11:25 ajn. A long
continuous ring was the signal for
children to put on their wraps.
Three short rings signaled orderly
marching out of the building.
Several high school students were
appointed to assist the smallest
children home. The evacuation
worked smoothly and efficiently.
Students who made a perfect
attendance record during the last
six weeks were: George Bell, Ger
aldine Fagerstrom, Juanita Fa
gerstrom, Betty Hurlbert, Joan
Longley and Lola Ost.
A very interesting letter has
been received from Thelma Cobb
who is now attending school in
San Antonio, Texas. She is attend
ing a very large high school with
eighty-nine in the senior class
alone. She prefers Nome High
School in spite of the large school
in San Antonio, and together with
other former Nome students,
would give most anything to be
back.
Many have observed the low
moon on the southern horizon.
This phenomenon is caused by the
inclination of the moon’s orbit of
five degrees to the earth’s orbit.
The moon is said to be at low,
that is at its lowest dip in its orbit.

Truman Demands
Drastic Increases
In All Taxes

(Continued from Page One)
corporation income taxes and a
three billion raise in excise (sales)
taxes.
President Truman told Congress
last Friday the first round hike
will be followed by another re
quest for an increase of about six
and a half billion dollars later this
year.
Other basic proposals laid be
fore the committee by Snyder:
1. A boost in the capital gains
tax from a flat 25 per cent to 37Vfe
percent. The present tax applies
to profits from sale of property
held six months or more. The pro
• • • • . * ■»
posal would require a minimum
holding period of one year to qual
ify for the capital gains tax in
prace o fstraight income tax.
2. Corporation income taxes—
an increase of eight per centage
points in normal income tax for
corporations, adding $8 in tax to
each $100 of profit.
This would lift the rate from
; 25 ter 33 per cent on corporations
* with profits ‘below $25,000, and
from 57 to 5*5 per cent on those
with higher profits.
3. Excise taxes—on autos, lift
the rate from seven to 20 per cent
of the manufacturer’s price to
raise $685,000,000 a year in rev
enue.
On refrigerators, television sets,
radios, phonographs, electric gas
and oil appliances, “and other
consumer durables”—raice the tax
from 10 per cent to 25 per cent of
the manufacturers’ price, to raise
$425,000,000 in revenue.
On distilled spirits — raise the
rate from $9 to $12 a gallon, (from
$1.80 to $2.40 on a standard fifth
of-a-gallon bottle of 100 proof
whiskey).
On beer—raise the tax from $8
to $12 a barrel (31 gallons). That
j would raise the tax from about 2.5
to 3.8 cent son a 12-ounce bottle.
Snyder also called for an ex
tensive plugging of tax “loop
holes.” This would add an unspe
cified sum, certainly “hundreds of
millions of dollars each year” and
perhaps billions, to the ten billion
dollars extra 'sought from the
other tax proposals.
Senate Wants To
Know ‘How Many’
Troops To Europe
(By Jack Ball)
v WASHINGTON, i/PJ — Senator
Wherry (R.-Neb.) said Saturday
he wants Secretary of State Ache
son to spell out the “modest” U. S.
air and ground strength Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower would
commit to Europe’s defense.
Wherry, who opposes sending
additional foot soldiers to Europe
said he will demand that Acheson
tell Senate committees this week
Whether such commitments al
ready have been made.
“I accept at face value General
Eisenhower’s statement that he
has made no commitments,”
Wherry told a * reporter. He should
tell Congress whether amy exist.”
In a radio and television report
to the nation, Friday night on his
survey of Western Europe’s po
tential, ' Eisenhower urged the
sending of an unspecified number
of American divisions to help man
the defenses there against possi
ble communist attack.
Asserting that he had found
“heartening evidence of a regen
eration of Europe’s spirit,” Eisen
hower said that the West’s will to
fight off aggression will grow
with its military strength.
“The arrival in Europe of new
American land and air units,
though modest in protective influ
ence by themsellves, will certain
ly produce added confidence and
accelerate the production of mili
tary force throughout the member
nations,” he said.
The five star general who com
mands the North Atlantic defense
force, contended, however, that
the most immediate need of Eu
rope is munitions and equipment.
In explaining his failure in re
ports to Congress and the people
to lay down specific recommenda
tions on the number of troops to
be sent to Europe, Eisenhower
said it was not his place as a sol
jdier “to dwell upon the politics,
the diplomacy, the particular
treaty arrangements” that are in
volved.
