FIIA IN NOME. ALASKA
Since the receipt of detailed information regarding the
scope of Federal Housing Administration activities in Al
aska. interest in its effect in Nome has been aroused and the
questions as to how it may become practical here have been
voiced numerous times.
Without a representative of the FHA in Nome, of
course, it is impossible at this time to tell to what extent
Nomeites may avail themselves of the apparent benefits and
opportunities for rehabilitation and construction of new
buildings. John E. Pegues, Director of Federal Housing in
Alaska stated some time ago that he expected to visit Nome
in the spring, and set up arrangements whereby the FHA
would become effective here. It is the belief that Mr. Peg
ues should visit Nome early enough to allow those who may
desire to avail themselves of the advantages offered in the
FHA.
Housing conditions in iNome are ai a premium, n is al
most next to impossible to find a place in which to live in
Nome today, due to the destruction of numerous buildings
where the people once lived. This coming spring will make
the situation even more acute, when the boats arrive here.
Further than that, there are undoubtedly many who are
planning on building or would like to build homes for them
selves rather than live in some of the delapidated structur
es in which they are spending the winter.
If they cannot afford to build entirely new homes, the
FHA is the agency which can afford them the opportunity
for repair and improvement. For this reason Mr. Pegues
could better serve the interest of Nomcites by coming to
Nome well in advance of his projected visit, and allow Nome
ites the time for planning before the first boats arrive after
the break-up.
Building in Nome has been dormant for years, but not
from now on, and for some time to come. Peculiarities of
the people of Nome included a strong determination to re
fuse charity in most cases following disasters. This is one of
the greatest, if not the greatest, opportunities to be afforded
the people here in the way of rehabilitation. It is not char
ity. but an opportunity for those people to go ahead, with
the aid of this federal agency, and better their housing con
ditions by borrowing the money for improvements and con
struction under this federal program.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
H. Galt Braxton, editor of the Kinston (N. C.) Daily
Free Press, says:
"People undoubtedly read newspaper advertising even
though, seemingly, they are not always conscious of the
fact.
“Ask the average newspaper reader, ‘Do you read the
advertisement?’ and the answer in quite a few cases will be
‘No, I do not’. The fact is, such readers do read and absorb
the advertisements much more than they realize. Question
them about advertised goods and trade marks and see how
much better acquainted they are with goods that are adver
tised and with firms that advertise than they are wfith non
advertised goods and non-advertising firms.
"Let a mistake be made in an advertisement—it makes
no difference how insignificant it may be or how inconspic
uous the ad may appear—see how many people will note and
call attention to the error.
“The most unmistakable evidence that newspaper ad
vertising is read, however, is the fact that it produces results.
Those concerns which advertise in their local newspapers
consistently, regularly and intelligently, year in and year
out, find that it pays”.
The encouragement that consists of setting an example
is better than mere advice.

PHILADELPHIA, March 9 — A
Black-eyed, swarthy, little Eskimo
girl, who can remember only that
she comes from Alaska, is waiting
for someone to claim her at the
Cleneral Hospital here.
She was picked up ill and fainting
by the police Wednesday. Phy
sicians guess that she is about nine
teen years old. She was penniless
and carried only a small comb. She
speaks English brokenly and mum
bles incoherently.
She was dressed in a dark gray,
woolen, knitted dress and a green
cloth woolen coat trimmed with I
brown fur, and wore woolen stock- ]
ings. She had on what appeared
to be man’s shoes.
