Editor Was Appreciated
Editors who may have shared
the common feeling of their clan
that no one loves the editor, can
be assured now that that feeling
is just so much nonsense, says a
writer in Light.
We have just been informed
how an editor was recently pre_
sented with a great bouquet of
flowers by a group of his fellow
citizens.
On the occasion a quartette
sang a few songs and an address
of appreciation was given. After
the talk six husky men hoisted
the editor on their shoulders and
placed him in a handsome 1936
sedan, and the w’hole town form
ed a parade. The appreciative
crowd returned to their homes
serene in the thought of hav
ing provided one bright day to
their beloved news purveyor.
P. S.—We almost forgot to
mention that the editor was
dead.
It’s a Good Way to Help
At the meeting held by local
merchants recently to decide up.
on sponsoring something progres
sive and of community interest
to the town, the woeful lack of
interest being shown in co-oper
ative affairs in the village was
emphasized by the miserable at.
tendance of merchants and busi
nessmen—eight, to be exact. But
immediately after the meeting
there was a volley of criticism
from several of the non-attend
ants.
It was w'hile we were ponder,
ing the peculiarities of such non
pushers, that we came across the
following rules for the proper
conduct of those who aren’t at all
interested.
1. Be sure and come late. 2. If
the weather doesn’t suit you,
don’t even think of coming. 3.
If you do attend a meeting, find
fault with the work of the offi.
cers and other members. 4. Never
accept an office as it is much eas
ier to criticize than to do things.
Nevertheless, get sore if you are
not appointed to a committee, but
if you are, do not attend the
committee meetings. 5. If asked
by the chairman to give your
opinion on some important matt,
er, tell him you have nothing to
say. 6. After the meeting is ov
er, tell everyone how things ought
to be done. 7. Do nothing more
than is absolutely necessary, but
when the other members roll up
their sleeves and willingly and
unselfishly use their ability to
help matters along, howl that the
association is being run by a
clique.
Advertising in the Nome Nug
get can be a paying investment.
Why not try it

Entering Race
To Be Held Sun.
At its meeting last evening, the
Board of Directors of the Nome
Kennel Club, after discussing the
subject from many angles, decid.
ed to reverse its decision to char
ge an entrance fee to Cheechac
co Dog Race to be run Sunday,
February 7th.
Any Cheechaocos forming a
driving team of a man and worn
an, may enter the race free of
charge.
Efforts are being made by dir
ectors to arrange for teams for
any who register. The owner
or representative of the team is
to ride as a burden, and the man
and woman drivers are to alter,
nate in driving—the man, the
first lap around the three mile
course on Bering Sea ice, and
the woman second and last lap.
Registration should be made
immediately with Secretary Cap
py McDougall at the Nome Drug
Store.
Already several teams have
started practicing, and the race
promises to be a “hum-dinger.”
Also included in this Sunday’s
program are some sports for the
