Not because somebody passed a law. But because the founding
fathers were WISE. Because they turned away from depend
ence on Government. Because they believed that real security
is based on individual initiative.
Americans today believe that, too. That is why America is
the symbol of human Freedom . . . the bulwark of world liberty.
The strength of America is the product of creative, free initia
tive. America’s health is the best in the world. A free medical
profession will keep it so.
Freely, without compulsion, over 70 million Americans have
secured the best medical care in the world, through Voluntary
Health Insurance, prepaying the major costs of illness.
The price is low—the care is the best. Your pro
gram for your family can be tailored to fit your
needs and your budget.

Egg Workers Union (AFL) called
the egg shipments a “blow to
American labor” and also prep
pared telegrams for the President
and his agriculture department,
as well as the Washington State
Congressional delegation.
A former egg man told the Post
Intelligencer that the Chinese
I eggs could undersell the Ameri
j can surplus variety in this ccfun
I try.
The government has bought up
j 81,830,000 pounds of surplus U. S.
cents
| a pound for the powdered variety,
1 the same price the government
! would charge domestic users. For
j export the powdered U. S. eggs
j go for 20 cents a pound.
Alex M. Bryce, Jr., of W. J.
Byrnes & Co., the customs house
brokers handling the Chinese
eggs, said such shipments have
been coming in “for 35 years”
j and that “there’s nothing unusual
about it.” He refused to give the
| name of the New York consignee
or to mention the price of the
j Chinese imports to buyers in this
! country.
The Post-Intelligencer said the
eggs were first shipped to Van
couver, B. C., by trans-Pacific
freighters, including at least one
American cargo ship. The paper
also said that another shipment is
due this week.

COOPERATION ON NOME'S
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
TO BE SOUGHT
The Territorial branch of the
White House Conference on Chil
dren and Youth returned to Nome
for more information the blanks
! regarding Nome’s recreational fa
! cilities. That was enough to touch
i
I off a request for a much more
; thoroughgoing approach toward
Nome’s problems as the commit
tee met last night to “fill in the
blanks.” Joseph Hunt had been
: appointed by the Mayor last
spring to be Nome’s representa
! tive on the Territorial Commis
sion on Children and Youth, and
he had in turn invited the Public
Health Nurse, Miss Marie Grant,
the Territorial Welfare Worker
Miss Eileen Uteck, Nome’s high
school coach, Mr. Joseph Haw
kinson, Rev. Marvin Troutman;
and Rev. Robert Treat to help
make a supplementary report.
The group felt that every at
tempt ought to be made to get
the military authorities to reopen
the Base gym and bowling alley
with an eye toward at least two
good teams from the Base to give
the high school sharpening up for
their spring tourney. In return,
the high school and possibly town
teams could give the Base teams
something to work for.
The group could see the possi

wave caused by Sunday’s earth
quakes swept away two villages
with estimated damage of 11,000,

It said the coastal villages of
Galala, two. and a half miles from
the capital, Amboina, and Hutu

ished when tidal waves crashed
200 meters (656 feet) inland. Gala

Ulity of camera fans, ceramic en
thusiasts, hand craft and hobby
clubs, but separate organization
and facilities for each possible
! group seemed quite extensive, but
[lacked inter-cooperation, and

tivities would be possible if it
were handled as a Nome Com

Conclusions? It was decided to
invite every organized and func

send a representative or its presi

next Tuesday evening. That

central clearing house to pool cer

possible future facilities.
It's on old trick of the curbstone pitchman
to offer you Something for Nothing
*
"Tell you what lm going to do, Ladies and Gentlemen,
/ am going to give you, absolutely free..."
Yes, it's an old trick. But it’s still a popular one. Sales
men of Socialism use it the world over. Yet when ana
lyzed, their Something for Nothing always turns out to
be-NOTHING FOR SOMETHING!
That isn't the way America became the greatest,
healthiest Nation in the world. American business has
reached its present stature because it believes in giving
the customer his money’s worth.
Through healthy competition, and the will to
serve, American medicine has created the finest
system of medical care in the world.
Through ingenuity and free enterprise, American
citizens have higher incomes, better education, better
health and more freedom than citizens of any other great
Nation on earth.
Freedom is America's heritage, and Americans
cherish it deeply—for themselves and for die entire
world. In exchange for this good way of life, the political
«
pitchman offers us the quack remedy of Something foi
Nothing... of "free” medical care, doled out by politicians
