All-America
Defense Associa
tion Organized
SEATTLE, (/P>—Expanding in
terest — with scattered cities
throughout the nation now con
corned about their “relative vul
nerability in case of attack—is a
result of the continuing campaign
of the defend Seattle—keep Boe
ing drive, Sen. Harry P. Cain said
here yesterday.
Proof that Seattle’s effort—al
most purely a local fight two
months ago—has “caught on” na
tionally is spotlighted. The Wash
ington Republican Senator said,
by the following developments.
1. A joint Senate-House unoffi
cial defense committee has been
organized on a bi-partisan basis.
It is hoped this group will spear
head Congressional action on de
fense during the second session of
the 81st Congress.
2. Supporting this Congression
al committee is the new All-Amer
ica Defense Association. Groups in
Bristol, Conn., Boston, Mass.; De
troit, Mich., Cleveland, O.; Minne
apolis, Minn.; San Francisco,
Calif.; and Salt Lake City, Utah,
are on the move.
It is hoped to inspire a program
to erase the vulnerability which
the air force has said exists in cer
tain areas and provide an aggres
sive defense program. Cain de
clared.
“In all consideration to date, it
has been agreed that Alaska is the
keystone of the entire program,”
Cain continued.
“We hope in this program to de
velop both the defense and econo
mic welfare of Alaska, which in a
sense is an important factor of de
fense itself.
“In this latter program we in
clude the projected new railroad,
linking Seattle with Fairbanks,
extension of existing roads and
the construction of new ones, and
the building up of basic industries
to give Alaska some semblance of
industrial stability, at present, it
does not enjoy.”
Girl Seoul News
On the night of the Girl Scout
Hallowe’en party Mrs. Stauden
maver was presented the ‘Thank
You Badge,” the highest honor a
Girl Scout leader can receive, and
also some souvenir teaspoons in
appreciation for her responsibili
ties as Scout leader in the past
year. She was very grateful to the
girls for the lovely gifts they gave
her.
Last Thursday Lt. Sano was
given a beautiful jade ring with a
gold nugget set in the stone, in ap
preciation for his work in teach
ing the Girl Scouts tap-dancing.
When he received the ring he was
so surprised that he could scarcely
find words to express his thank
fulness.
Lt. Sano ft continuing tap-danc
ing classes for several months.
The Girl Scouts wish to public
ly thank the Alaska Steamship Co.
for the gift of $20.00 which they
recenty received.
More information about the
troops’ reorganization will be
stated in the near future.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bernier of

Point Barrow and other fur-bear
ing centers, as well, of course, as
having access to Polet’s large as- i
sortment of beautiful furs. She
has been instructed to disregard
costs, so we can rest assured we
shall soon see on display the most
attractive design and superb qual-1
ity of furs ever offered for a prize |
in Nome.
Henry Ullrich, Pioneer presi
dent, in order to satisfy the many
inquiries he has had relative to
the usual custom of the Pioneers
in offering a gold nugget as one
of the prizes to be won at the
Roof Garden, made the following
brief statement: “Well, the Gold
Nugget is here and it did NOT
come from 'FISHWHEEL." It is
not yet on display, but as Rube
Cremer, who had the privilege of
seeing it, exclaimed: "IT'S A
WHOPPER." Sam Godfrey, who
was looking over Rube’s shoulder,
said: “Looks to me like it came
from the auriferous gravels of the
i old channel of the Kougarok
River.” Ullrich was non-commit
tal, but Sam has a sharp eye for
igold .
Present indications are, that the
[ 1949 Roof Garden bids fair to out
class anything of its kind ever
produced heretofore.
