VICTORY CLOTHING
|
COLLECTION
The collection of Victory Cloth
ing is this week from January 7th (
to January 12th inclusive, in
Nome, and it is hoped that every
one in this vicinity will respond
wholeheartedly and show real co
operation in bringing in garments
suitable for sending to our needy
allies.
A little digging into your attic
or back cache should prove fruit
ful. You may come across many
garments of no value to yourself,
but an article of clothing which
would be of real worth to some
man, woman or child.
To add a personal touch and
maybe give a boost to morale, you
may enclose a simple friendly
note expressing good wishes and
sympathy.
People always need encourage
ment and sincere interest in their
plans. This note may bring just
; a small but sorely needed “hello
neighbor” to someone.
You may, if you choose, include
i your name and address, and in re
i turn may hear of the cheery good
your efforts have brought.

en sandwich!
Waiter—I’m sorry but I called
a little late for your order.

Safeguard Atomic
Energy Secrets
LONDON, Jan. 9 — (/P) — The
breach in the U. S. delegation over
safeguards for atomic energy se
crets was sealed at a conference
on the eve of the opening of the
United Nations Organization as
sembly. Secretary Byrnes confer
red two hours with American del
egates this morning and said later,
as far as he knew, it was his view
that the safeguards would be en
tirely acceptable to all
Senator Vandenberg, leader of
the critics, said he was complete
ly reassured on two points he con
sidered of paramount importance
that adequate security arrange
ments would precede any disclos
ures on atomic matters.
“Any plan recommended by the
atomic commission must receive
Congressional approval in United
States,” Byrnes said, and added
that United States, Britain, Russia
and Canada had agreed on the
safeguards for atomic energy se
crets under whatever control plan
was devised by the United Nations
organization.
Japanese Burn Books, Too
MANILA.— (/P) —Japanese de
struction of Philippine schools has
handicapped their re-establish
ment, President Sergio Osmena
says. Not only desks and chairs,
but books were used as firewood
by the Japanese soldiers.
While fighting continued, the
work of gathering books for the
schools was started. Desks and
chairs could come later, Osmena
said.
The major job in rehabilitation
will be elimination of Japanese
customs forced upon Filipinos, the
president says. Schools, he be
lieves, are vital in this program.
He hopes also to establish a new
library of “only American books.”
