AN ARMISTICE DAY PRAYER
By Rev. Bob Treat
Brave men die — and have to kill — Not because
they would, but because we still are part of a world of
hunger and greed and fear. Lord God of Hosts, help
us be strong; Strong, with strength to spare, with
mercy, and forgiveness for those who are wrong.
O Father of us all and guardian of the children
of men—keep us patient and good toward the day
when Peace can begin. There was One who died that
wrong might be right; May we find in His way the
road out of our night.
GENERAL KEPNER’S ARMISTICE DAY MESSAGE
Observing the advent of Armistice Day on Sun
day, Lt. Gen. W. E. Kepner, commander-in-chief of
the Alaskan Command, has called upon Americans to
take an active part in the preservation of their coun
try’s freedom. In a statement issued today, General
Kepner said:
“Every November 11, since 1918, Americans
throughout the world have paused for one minute of
silent meditation. They have been asked to think, dur
ing the minute, of the men and women who have died
in our country’s cause.
“We must assume that every good American con
centrates his minute’s thought on our nations’ tumul
tuous birth, on its swift and glorious progress, on the
sacrifices of those who have fought for and preserved
its high ideals, and on a fervent prayer for peace in
the world.
“But sixty seconds of thought each year are not
enough, in these chaotic times, men and women must
not go about their daily lives satisfied that someone
else will take care of matters.
“Armistice Day is a solemn holiday, but I cannot
fill these paragraphs with high-sounding, empty words.
There is only one way for good Americans to observe
this holiday and all other holidays of patriotic origin.
That is to observe them every day of the year, and to
take practical measures to be of service to their com
munity and their country.
“An hour of voluntary civil defense work is worth
a lifetime of thinking about it. A knowledge of first
aid is worth, perhaps, a life itself.
"Let us have a new approach to this thirty-three
year-old holiday. Let us today consecrate ourselves to
the American way of life, resolving to offer more of
our time, energy and talents to the preservation of our
freedom. There is no better tribute to those who have
given their lives for this very purpose.”
Six Seamen Rescued
After 35 Hours In Open
Lifeboat In North Pacific
SEATTLE, (]■P) — Six seamen
who survived a ship fire and ex
plosion and 35 hours in an open
lifeboat in rough seas were res
cued in the North Pacific before
dawn Thursday.
The dramatic rescue, when hope
rapidly was running out, left six
crew members of the India-bound
wheat ship George Walton on the
list of dead or missing.
The Coast Guard said revised
reports on the Tuesday disaster at
sea were that one man was killed
in the explosion and fire on the
government - owned freighter; 30
have been rescue; five are miss
ing and presumed drowned.
The Coast Guard Cutter Wach
usett, one of an expanding fleet
of search vessels, located the last
known survivors drifting in their

Rotary Congratulates
AFRS And Is Host To
Colonel Snyder of ANG
Sgt. Robert Brown, station man
ager of AFRS, Nome, Alaska, re
ceived both written and verbal
enthusiastic congratulations by
Nome’s Rotary Club for the great
ly improved quality and increased
power of the new radio station
at Marks Air Force Base. Boyd
Harwood introduced Sgt. Brown
and Bob Chisom as his guests,
and Dewey Goodrich, secretary of
the club read a letter of congrat
ulations to the station and per
sonnel, a copy of which will be
sent to the commanding general
who is responsible for the new
station.
Sgt. Brown responded by thank
ing the club in behalf of the sta
tion, and said that the station
will now be giving us the cream
of the major networks programs,
direct through APRS, Los An
geles. Bill Cameron, club presi
dent, said it was just like living
beside the big stations in the
States—“it really is wonderful.”
The other part of Rotary’s pro
gram Thursday was a brief mes
sage of appreciation for the fine
work the Scout units of the Na
tional Guard are doing in this
area. Colonel Russell C. Snyder,
Inspector General, United States
Army, Alaska, has been inspect
ing units in this area, this being
his third trip to Nome. He said
the units were showing good
work and interest, and he was
personally glad to be back in the
old U.S.A., after nearly 35 years
of assignment in the Far East and
elsewhere.
In the Colonel’s party were: 1st
Lt. Lucas, personnal Officer for
the Alaska National Guard, In
structor Detachment; and Sgt.
Clement, assistant to Col. Snyder.
Rotarians were especially inter
ested to hear the Colonel’s com
mendation since many of the
members are part of the local Na
tional Guard unit.
Keith Hedreen got a birthday
present, marking another anni
versary in his march toward a
final reckoning of his “service
above self.”
E. K. Johanson, well known
mining man of this area, was a
guest of Harry Gabrielson.
Armistice Day
Merchants of town represented
in the Rotary Club voted unani
mously to “lock it up” for Armis
tice Day Monday.
Virtual “Freeze”
On New Cars And
Consumer Goods
WASHINGTON, (/P)_The gov
ernment yesterday imposed a vir
tual “freeze” effective Feb. 1, on
the introduction of new models by
the automobile industry and man
ufacturers of other major con
sumer durable goods.
The action came in the form
of orders reserving machine tools
almost completely for military
and defense-supporting produc
tion.
This would bar retooling by
civilian manufacturers of cars,
washing machines, refrigerators
and similar appliances.
The intent NPA’s announce
ment said, is to insure that the
entire output of the machine man
ufacturers to industry—a bottle
neck in the aircraft, tank and
ofther munitions programs — is
channeled into defense.
