A MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO ALL
In company with every business
■concern, The Nome Daily Nugget
will observe Christmas Day as a
holiday, and today’s issue is our
last until next Monday, Decem
ber 27 th.
To all the readers of the Nug
get we wish a very Merry Christ
mas and season’s greetings. In
the hope that their Christmas
holidays may be enjoyed thruout,
we sincerely broadcast our best
wishes to everyone. Christmas
is a time for good will and no
greater appreciation or feeling
can be engendered than in pass
ing on good will to your neigh
bor.
The observance of Christmas is
unique in many lands, yet Nome
and its people, still celebrate it in
the good old fashioned way. We
do very little different here than
in the States, so in observing this
Day, let your custom be the same,
and guide you in spreading the
Spirit of Christmas everywhere.
RADIO NEEDS EXEMPLIFIED.
The radio equipment carried by
Pilot Hard Gillam and that of
the radio stations at Barrow and
Fairbanks made it possible for
Gillam to report he was down
Saturday and brought him quick
relief. Gillam would still be out
of contact, and without commun
ication for many days but for the
radio.
The world has been watching
the progress of his flight, and
press agencies have been asking
for all available information on
the situation that befell him. The
radio has helped solve the pro
blem in the minimum of time.
Luckily Gillam went down at
a settlement. Had he been down
in some isolated interior point
and without radio.no telling what
might have happened.
The incident serves to demon
strate that every plane flying in
Alaska should have radio,equip
ment, and there should be more
radio stations—especially federal
stations. The public interest de
mands it.
A complete radio-set-up will
protect not only the air-traveling
public but eliminate a world of
grief and losses to owners of
planes and reduce to a minimum
the many long and costly search
parties which have been so com-J
mon the last few years. Someone
has to bear the costs of those par
ties, and often it has been other
fliers or aviation companies little
able to stand the heavy expense.
The Alaska Planning Council
and national planning boards may
well take this situation to heart,
and do something definite to give
Alaska a complete aviation radio
service in the shortest possible
| time.—Fairbanks News-Miner.
