STRIKE WHILE THE IRON
IS HOT
(Continued From Page One)
However, it is necessary that
action commence at once, if any
successful attempt is to be made.
The peculiar condition of topo
graphy current here has forced
merchants to build on the south
side of the street, where the
ground is not frozen, and where
basements may be constructed
without too great a cost. Individ
ually they have attempted to con
struct makeshift bulkheads to
withstand the pounding of the
seas, but invariably they have
been demolished, sooner or later.
Had it not been for far-sighted
persons in Nome at the time of
the reorganization of the burned
area following the 1934 fire, it
is certain that every busint*~>
house on the south side of Front
Street, would have been destroy
ed in Tuesday's storm.
The entire south side of the
street in 1934 was moved north
ward at least forty feet to
guard against just such an emer
gency as the present disastrous
storm.
Nome has had bitter lessons
and bouts with the elements and
other forces which have come
near destructing the town on sev
eral occasions. If placed in the
proper light, and presented in
the proper channels, we feel sure
that Nome will receive serious
consideration in its appeal for;
a breakwater.
At the same time we notice'
that both jetties leading into the!
Snake River harbor here, took a
severe beating and large gaps in
them are discernable. If they are
to be continued, and we see ev
ery' reason why they should be,
much repair work and new con
struction will be necessary. The
Chamber of Commerce in its ap
peal, if one is made, should cer
tainly draw attention to the de
struction caused. there by the
storm.
Nome has been rather back
ward in the past for several years
in bringing to the attention of
the federal government, the vast
area centered north of here and
for which Nome is the distribut
ing point. If we wish for success
Nomeites must cooperate and
work together for the common
betterment of all, and that goes
in more ways than one.
Apparently the new code in in- .
ternational law is "Take what i
you want when you want it.” i

AIRPORT NEEDS IMPORTANT
Plans are being perfected by
the National Resources Board for
presentation to President Roose
velt later this winter, following
meetings which took place re
cently at Portland, Oregon.
Aviation concerns basing at
Nome, and operating in and out
of Nome, have cried for airport
facilities for the past several
years now, but their cry has gone
unheeded todate.
With the advent of modern air
planes and equipment, modern
facilities for flying at night and
by and with radio, the airport
development of Alaska and the
Nome section has fallen behind.
At the present writing Nome
has an unusually well construct
ed one-way field more than 4400
feet in length, running north and
south. However, crosswands dur
ing different seasons of the year
make landing and taking off ex
tremely hazardous.
Greatest need at Nome, express
ed by every pilot and company
operating on the field, is a cross
runway. Why wait until a $50,000
airplane is wrecked attempting
to land in a cross wind, before
making a strenuous appeal for
funds to construct such a runway
as would provide safe landing!
facilities? Now is the time to pre
pare a program' of development.
The Federal Bureau of Air Com
merce has already signified its
intention of appeal to congress
for funds for a program of air
port development and facilities.
Nome should be on that pro
gram in a big way, but As yet
nothing has been done to pre
pare a definite set of sugges
tions and be ready when the
time comes, to be in the vanguard
of those places to receive immed
iate development.
With the federal government’s
public works, air commerce pro
grams, postal department exten
sions and other programs for
development of Alaska, all re
ceiving the willing ear of con
gress, Nome should not be back
ward in showing that a condition
exists here, extremely dangerous
for air commerce, and that a
cross runway on our present field
is imperative, and should be im
mediately placed in progress of
construction. Without a definite
program, Nome is going to have
to wait until somebody gets ar
ound to it—and that is a sure
sign of stagnation—so let’s get
busy on a cross runway for th*
Nome airport.
