A PERTINENT CIVIC APPEAL
The following letter pertaining to the Nome Brass Band
was turned over to the Nome Daily Nugget with a request to
give it publicity. The finest way we can think of placing
it before the people is to comment on it.
We are heartily in favor of the further continuance of
the Band in Nome, and we believe that Nome can well af
ford one. Also there is plenty of opportunity for the train
ing of new band men. It requires cooperation of everyone
to help sustain this organization and we also appeal to the
townspeople to help in every way they can to preserve the
Nome Brass Band and assist in keeping its members in Nome
and in the band.
“Nome’s Brass Band."
“It has been noticeable during the past month that very
little interest has been taken in Nome s Brass Band. I ar
rived here on the second sailing of the S S Dellwood, to be
pleasingly surprised to see that a band had again been or
ganized in Nome. In the early days in Nome I had much
to do with the Band here and it has always been a close in
terest to me.
“But I must admit that the spirit of the people of Nome
at the present time is not what it was several years ago. At
that time they would held in many ways to assure the life
of this important organization in a small town. Today they
have practically tossed it to oneside as a forsaken ‘stepchild.’
“With the exception of a few band members, the re
maining ones who helped organize the band last winter,
have gradually let it slide, to the detriment of the band and
also to themselves and the community.
“I was asked to assist in the directorship of the Nome
Brass Band and am glad to do all I can to help, but it is a
thankless task if enough members cannot be gathered to
gether to have a practice once a week. That is not too often
and I doubt, if everyone who gave their attention to practice
nights, would ‘forget to show up.’
“The Band is asking for the assistance and cooperation
of the people of Nome to preserve it and make it a live-wire
affair. In order to do this a general call is being issued for

anyone desiring to learn brass instruments of any kind to

“We have experienced band members in Nome now
who will have to go outside this fall unless they can find
something to do for the winter to keep them here. It seems
to me it would be a good idea if employers of labor might
possibly make a place for them and thereby do their part
toward the maintaining of a band in Nome.

STRONG AMERICAN NAVAL BASES PLANNED
The diplomacy which has kept America from building
suitable naval bases has been called blundering and short
sighted. But probably it was the best policy feasible under
the old order. But now there is a new order, since Japan’s
abrogation of the naval treaties and certain modern British
plans have come to light. Secretary Swanson says that
when existing naval treaties expire, January 1, 1937, the
United States will lose no time creating strong naval bases
at strategic points in the Pacific, including the Aleutian Is
lands. It is alleged that we are bound to have “naval step
ping stones” in the Pacific. This is a result of Japan’s policy
which Japan herself will not enjoy.
A MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT IN REVENUE
Tax returns from various sources, including customs re
ceipts, are showing a definite upturn in federal receipts, re
flecting the general improvement in business. The Asso
ciated "Press, certainly neutral in party politics, in bringing
this improvement to the attention of the public, reminds us
in the same story that last year’s federal deficit was three
billion dollars, that the deficit deliberately projected for
next year is four billion, and that the soek-the-rich tax bill
promises the disappointingly small sum of 275 million. The
riches of the rich are not large compared with the amassed
resources of the millions not classed as rich.
You should not wait for somebody to jar you into action.
