Igloo, Alaska, April 9.
Mr. and Mrs. Vogen left by dog
team for Teller April first. The
best wishes of their many friends
go with the happy couple.
Last Monday 11 dog teams brot
Igloo folks back from Nome.
They all reported that the Fair
was a huge success and were
proud to have a member of this
vicinity among the winners of
the dog race.
Mr. George Dale, supervisor
from the Office of Indian Affairs,
Juneau, visited Igloo from March
9th to 12th. He visited the vill
age of Old Igloo also and left for
Teller by dog team with Mr. Bur
kher.
Dr. R. E. Smith and Miss Mar
guerite Burkher of the Kotzebue
hospital staff, spent three very
busy days in Igloo shortly before
Easter. Many patients were re
lieved of unwanted tonsils, tum
ors, and teeth. We hope these
good friends squeeze a visit toj
Igloo into their crowded schedule
every year. The doctor and
nurse went from here to Pilgrim
Springs where they performed
about forty tonsilectcni'ies.
On March 23 Mr. and Mrs. H.
Burkher and Miss Ethel Marx
were dinner guests at Pilgrim
Springs. They spent a delightful
evening enjoying the excellent
moving pictures taken by Father
Cunningham and the amusing
commercial ftlms owned by Doc
tor Smith. The trio from Igloo
had an exhilarating ride home by
moonlight.
Harry Gavin and Mrs. Jules
Gumdersen arrived home from
Nome yesterday. They bring en
ough new anecdotes to keep us
amused until the opening of navi
gation.

IT GETS RESULTS
Sunday Sermon
Was Followed
By Discussion
(Contributed)
As announced in last week's
Nugget, an open forum on phases
of the peace problem was held in
the parsonage, following the Sun
day evening church service. The
sermon subject, "What Can the
Individual Do For World Peace"
inspired comments upon the fol
lowing topics:
If over 80% of the tax paid by
the individual is used for war
preparation, is not the citizen,
who desires peace, also obligated
to pay an equal amount to the
organizations working for peace?
That is, if a man pays $100.00 in
taxes, he is paying over $80.00 to
preparations for war which will
destroy him. Should he pay an
other $80.00 to support peace ac
tivities, either because of moral
obligation or in self-defense a
gainst the self-destruction of
war ?
What are the possibilities of the
salmon controversy with Japan
precipitating a war ? It is con
ceivable that a too-hasty coast
patrol might give offense to a
Japanese fisher, and start inter
national complications. Side by
side, how does the value of a sad
mon compare to the value of a
young man’s life? How many
men should we wish murdered
bmareff, arrived in Igloo today.
He came via Nome where he en
joyed the Fair and had some den
tal work attended to.
Mail carrier, Harry Longley,
made two trips to Igloo in Mar
ch. On the last trip he was ac
companied by Mr. George Bod is.
We also received mail by plane
several times thus giving us so
much correspondence that we con
template engaging a secretary.
Easter was celebrated in the
Lutheran church here, with a
' special children’s program pre
; pared by the Rev. Samson and
Mrs. Klyve. The missionaries
^ treated the villagers to a delic
ious feast after the program.
—Pauline V. Burkher
to protect the lives of the salmon
at sea?
To what extent would univer
sal organizations of surplus food
supply distribution relieve just
such strains as this produced by
the fishing question?
These, and allied problems
press upon the thinking people
of today for solution, and the con
certied individual finds value in
exchange of ideas and informa
tion, such as is made possible by
the open-forum. Delicious re
freshments served by the hostess
added sociability to the stimulat
ing discussion.
Death of Oldtimer
Another pioneer Alaskan, resi
dent of the Territory many years
before the gold rush, went his
way along the Last Trail recent
ly in Anchorage. He was Richard
J. McArthur, intimate friend of
the famous novelist. Rex Beach.
Among the mourners at the
services was Mrs. M. J. Cronin,
I
perhaps one of the few persons
alive in Alaska today who lived
in Circle City at the time Mr. Mc
Arthur did, which was before!
the Dawson camp became a roar
ing gold camp. Standing dose to
the casket, Mrs. Cronin was pho
tographed because of the histori
cal connection of her past life
with that of Mr. McArthur. ‘‘I
was just a young girl in Circle
City, then," Mrs. Cronin recalled.
At that time Circle City was a
community of about 200 men and
less than a dozen white women.
She lived with her two brothers
and the wife of one of the miners
of the town.
"Dick, as Mr. McArthur was
known, was a fine big man,” Mrs
Cronin said, “who always was a
man of importance in the town
and had lots of influence.” She
recalled his close friendship with
Rex Beach, who, she said, lived in
Circle City at that time and later
went to Dawson, as did McAr
thur.
“Rex Beach was always bother
ing us for material for his writ
ing,” Mrs. Cronin said. “We nev
ct thought anything about it un
til hiis books were published sev
eral years later.”
