Fire Prevention
Campaign Going
Over Big Way
(By The Associated Press) (
Nome’s ten.day Fire Preven
tion Campaign has been yielding
exceptionally fine results, reports
Chief of Police W. W. Laws, who
has been inspecting houses thru
out the city during the past week.
Chief Laws reports that discov
ering a large number of faulty
stove pipes, and other minor fire
hazards in the city.
He has reported the conditions
to the occupants of the houses and
he declares that the response is
100 percent favorable, the people
highly pleased when told of any
hazards existing in their homes.
They have immediately promis
ed to have them corrected, and in
no case, says Chief Laws, has
anyone refused to cooperate and
repair faulty conditions.
This speaks well for Nomeites,
and proves the contention “that
an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure”—and the chanc.
es of fires breaking out due to
faulty heating conditions, is there
by being reduced to a minimum.

Social Security
System Effective
January First
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 16,
—The government today started
to set up social security accounts
for 26,000,000 workers while
postmen delivered forms to be
filled out by five million employ
ers, to collect data for old age
pension systems, applying to
workers in the factories, shops,
mines, mills, offices, stores and
other such establishments of the
nation.
The system becomes effective
January 1st, when employees are
to pay one cent on each dollar
earned, and employers are to
pay one cent on each dollar of
their payrolls. Earning up to
three thousand dollars are to be
taxed. By 1949 the taxes will
have reached three percent of the
wages and three percent of the
payrolls.
Benefits will range from ten
dollars up to eighty_five dollars
monthly when the workers reach
the age of sixty five.
The government keeps a sep
arate account for each employee
and each employer.

Pilgrim Springs
Children Have
Awards in Fair
Pilgrim Spring, October 25, 1936
Nome Daily Nugget,
Nome, Alaska.
Dear Editor:
It may be interesting to you |
and to your many readers of the ‘
“Nugget” that the Fair which
was recently held in Juneau, brot
honor and distinction to the Mis
sion School at Pilgrim Springs.
During the past years when the
City of Nume, had its own Ex_
hibition and Fair, the work of the
children of this school was al- p
ways sent to Nome for public g
display. S.nce the Fair was dis- d
continued in Nome, the work of d
the children at Pilgrim Springs, p
has been somewhat lost sight of. n
Lasrt summer it was decided p
to send some of the exhibits and a
arts of the children to the South h
eastern Alaska Fair, which was d
held the early part of Septem.
ber in Juneau. To our great sur fc
prise, at the conclusion of the tj
Fair, the Mission School of Pil- v.
grim Springs was awarded ten p
of the prizes for efficiency in the
Native Educational Department, x
The prizes were checks averag- -L
ing in amounts from 50 cents to
$2.00. Winners of these checks,
were children of Nome, Kotzebue,
Mary’s Mountain and Shelton.
Seeing that dull work in the
class_room is accompanied with K
visible and lucrative rewards, s<
the children of Pilgrim Springs is
Mission are now animated with w
new enthusiasm to do better ci
next year^ and increase the num- is
ber of honors for their Alma a
Mater.
Respectfully,
Rev. E. J. Cunningham. y
