THE MAN WHO WINS
To blazes with the crowd! A crowd doesn t think. ^ ou
can. If the crowd jeers you and you know you are right,
smile. The only people who profit by applause are the folks
behind the footlights. The man who waits for public plaud
its before undertaking a new plans, lacks the grit necessary
to put new plans across.
Within yourself lies the power to do what you want to
do. Let no man’s sneer deter you if you are sun* your pur
pose is worthy.
No matter if the world laughs at you, take yourself ser
iously. The mob laughs at what it does not understand; ridi
cules what it cannot comprehend. Too many men who have
the fire of genius within, never let it kindle into llamo be
cause they fear the laughter of the crowd. Forget what
othrs think. The thing that matters is what you think of
yourself, and that you believe in yourself.
You are the president and board of directors of your
own mind. Think clearly, aim high, work like thunder,
stick to your ideas and your ideals—and to blazes with the
captious carpers.
Remember this The moon wouldn't do business at the
old stand regularly if it paid any attention to all the little
dogs that bark at it! —Exchange
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
H. L. Walsh, editor of the St. Catharines (Ont.) Stand
ard says:
“One hundred and ten years ago on the 30th of Novem
ber, the first sod for the first Welland Canal was turned at
Allanburg. Ten years ago a cairn was unveiled to mark the
spot. That was man’s first conquest of the mighty and in
surmountable barrier of Niagara Falls. Champlain, La Salle,
Joliette and other great explorers had portaged to the Great
Upper Lakes in the quest of a route to the Orient. Today
the great carrier of 200,000 bushels of wheat reaches from
one lake to another, a difference of level of 326.5 feet in eight
hours. The third and the last Welland Ship Canal is reduc
ed to 25 miles from the original 271-. It has eight mammoth
locks instead of the original forty, and each lock 820 feet
instead of 110. The ship canal was completed and opened
in 1931. It will convey almost every type of ocean steamer

“St. Catharines holds a vantage point in the center of the
Niagara Peninsula from which can be surveyed and reviewed
the remarkable progress which has vitally touched the whole
northern half of the American continent . The entire district
is pregnant with history. It was the pivot of fierce fighting
in the War of 1812?14 and is the last resting place of brave
men of two nations. Great and remarkable as has been the
progress on either bank of the Niagara River commercially,
industrially and in the building of the canal, just as far
reaching as affecting the welfare of mankind has been the
progress made in friendly intercourse and international re
lationship since the time when the last armed ship and the
last soldier were withdrawn from the international border
line. The celebration of the restoration of old Fort Niagara
(American) this year and the universal extollation for the
benefit of all posterity of the Rush-Bagot Treaty, which brot
permanent peace between Canada and the United States
were memorial events of the greatest significance. ’Tis a
pity that their lesson and message could not be translated
either into fact or in aspiration to a considerable part of un
happy Europe. ,
“The lesson of the history of the Niagara frontier has
brought mutual respect and good will between two nations,
each with the heritage of the Flnglish tongue and the un
quenchable desire for freedom and liberty. No imaginary
boundary line can ever separate these two kindred forces
in the march toward a higher and better civilization.”
Communications
Addressed to The Nome Nugget
FIELD AGENCY OF THE
Federal Housing Administration
Office of the
Territorial Director for Alaska
JUNEAU, ALASKA.
Much apprehension has recently
existed in connection with applica
tions for new home construction, ac
cording to Director John E. Pegues
of the Federal Housing Administra
tion.
The statement has been made in
some quarters that the Federal Hous
ing Administration will not insure
mortgages if the plans for a home
have not been drawn by an archi
tect. Such information is erroneous.
While the Administration recognizes
that the utilization of architectural
sen ices will end to promote a better
class of building, any plans which
meet the minimum requirements set
forth by the Administration are ac
ceptable.
"Those requirements provide where
new construction is involved", said
Mr. Pegues, “the applicant must sub
mit with the application, complete
plans and specifications both of
which must have been approved by
both the mortgagor and general con
tractor if any.
The inspection of proposed new
buildings prior to commitment to in
surance involves examination and ap
proval of working drawings and
specifications:” The drawings should
include plat plans, floor plans, (in
cluding basement and attic), each
elevation, sections and details sutli
ciently complete to indicate cleat ly
the extent of the work and the de
sign and construction.
The specifications should cover
quality of materials, equipment,
construction and workmanship.
"Working drawings and specifica
tions will be examined from the
standpoint of their adequacy as con
tract documents to produce a suit
able building complete and ready
for occupancy.”
All drawings,” continued Mr. Po
gues, “must be made to scale and
clearly dimensioned”. While only
one set of plans is required for sub
mission with the application, :t
should be noted that this set will
not be returned to the owner or con
tractor, since it is necessary for the
Federal Housing Administration to
retain it. Consequently, plans should
be made on tracing paper or cloth
or other material from which addi
tional blue prints can be obtained
for the use of the contractor during
construction operations.”
Drawings submitted on wrapping
paper or similar materials will there
for be considered ineligible. They
should be blue prints, or similar pro
cess indicating that additional cop
ies are available.”
