Helen Bockman Returns
To Live {n Nome
Helen Bockman, a resident of
Nome for many years, who was
transferred to Fairbanks when the
Land Office was closed here, has
returned to make her home here
with her son, and to be with her
many friends.
Knowing how the removal of
the Land Office has been a handi

acquired, personally, a set of plats
of the area, so that she might be
of some assistance in that field,
and therby save Nomeites the
costly trip to Fairbanks and re
turn.

Poppies Available
Tomorrow for
Memorial Day
“Wear a poppy to honor the
war dead and aid war’s living
victims.”
This is the appeal that will be
made to everyone in Nome by
the American Legion Auxiliary
on Poppy Day, tomorrow.
Women of the Auxiliary will
be on the streets throughout the
day, offering the symbolic mem
orial poppies and receiving con
tributions for the Auxiliary’s
work in behalf of disabled vet
erans.
The poppies will be crepe paper
replicas of the wild poppies which
grew “between the crosses, row
on row,” in the battle cemeteries
in France and Belgium. They have
been made for the Auxiliary by
disabled veterans of both World
Wars.
This year the poppy will have
added significance because of the
long lists of war dead from Korea
which have been added to the
heroic roll of those who have died
for America. Also, there will be
increased need for the Poppy Day
contribution because of the many
thousands of young men disabled
in the Korean fighting.
We hope that everyone will
understand that the memorial
poppy means honor for the na
tion’s war dead and aid for those
suffering as a result of war ser
vice, and will wear one of the
little red flowers proudly on Pop
py Day, tomorrow.

School Budget of $31,623
Submitted to City Council
The 1952-53 school budget was
read at the regular Nome City
Council Meeting last Monday for
the amount of $31,623, an increase
of $7,824. The budget includes
additional teachers for the school
as well as increases in salary.
It was also announced at the
meeting that the city’s share in
the Federal Grant in Aid for
school construction on a matching
fund basis is $10,500, with a total
of $40,500 available for Nome.
The city has been trying for
over two years to get a deed from
the ANS for the old school build
ing which was supposedly turned
over to the city by congressional
action. It was reported at the
meeting that the deed has not
been turned over although the
Council has been trying every
channel to complete the transac
tion so that the building may be
put to use.
Due to snow conditions, it was
decided to delay the annual clean
up until after June 9.
Under the direction of Herb
Williams, the Boy Scouts are un
dertaking the completion of the
numbering of streets and houses
this summer. They^ started the
project two years ago but could
not complete it for lack of num
bers at that time.
