NEW CONQUESTS IN AIR
Ever since Lindbergh flew to Paris, Americans have
been expecting regular, commercial trans-oceanic flights to
be established. The seeming ease with which Lindbergh
made his trip blinded us to the difficulties of the feat; not
until other flyers had sacrificed their lives did we realize how’
far away such commercial service really was.
Now, however, it appears that trans-oceanic flights on
regular schedule are fairly near to realization. Officials of
Pan-American Airways sav that it is only “a matter of
months” before they begin operations across the Pacific with
a fleet of giant planes of the Clipper type.
And Dr. Hugo Eckener discusses anew’ his plans for be
ginning regular dirigible service between the United States
and Europe.
That both oceans will eventually be spanned by com
mercial air lines seems certain: and it begins to look as if the
dream will be realized in the comparitively near future.
CANCER
(Cincinnati Enquirer).
The American College of Surgeons sends forth words
of encouragement and hope to those threatened, or already
afflicted, with the cruel curse of cancer. Just a few days
ago Dr. Franklin H. Martin, of Chicago, Director General of
the American College of Surgeons, announced that “can
cer is curable.” r - 'I
The college instituted a three-year survey. It has
made record of 26,204 cancer cures “that have stood the
test of time for at least five years. This means a saving of
approximately 150,000 years of human life.
“There are in the United States today thousands who,
by seeking intelligent advice early, have received treatment
Jor cancer in time to effect successful permanent cure,” adds
Dr. Clarence Cook Little, former President of University
of Michigan and now Managing Director of the American
Society for the Control of Cancer.
Such are the reassuring w’ords of highly distinguished
medical authorities. To the army of the afflicted, and to
all who are menaced by this dreaded disease—which in
cludes all of us—a disease which has for so long defied the
power and skill of science, Dr. Martin and Dr. Little ex
tend a new hope.
FORD’S CONFIDENCE
_______.
(Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce) . • ,
Either the apostles of gloom are overshooting badly or
Henry Ford and his engineers are wrong. Mr. Ford an
nounces plans to build 1,000,000 cars “or more” during
1935. His company has already sent out commitment on a
buying and production program that will involve in excess
of $145,000,000.00, to be expended next year among 6,008
manufacturers and production firms throughout the United
States. Mr. Ford is convinced that a year of greatly im
proved business is ahead. His announced program is proof
conclusive that his convictions are based on something more
than hope._■

Addressed to The Nome Nonet
RESOLUTION.
Be it Resolved by the Industrial
Workers of Alaska of Nome, Alaska:
That Whereas: the present Com
pensation law of the Territory of
Alaska does not adequately protect
all wage workers and discriminates
between one class of worker and
another
And Whereas; the responsibility
of the workers welfare and well
being during accidents is shifted
from one employer to another
And Whereas: many workers are
thru economic necessity forced to
work for employers whom the law
exempts from all responsibility in
case of injury or death
And Whereas; all wage earners
who by their labor have and are
contributing their share towards
the well-being of society and are
not protected and which they have
a right to be
And Whereas; many employers
are in no position to meet the re-,
quirements of the present Compen
sation Law
Therefore Be It Resolved by the
Industrial Workers of Alaska of
Nome, Alaska, that they petition
their duly elected representatives to
the Legislature of Alaska that they
work for amendments that will cor
rect its defects or repeal the present
law and enact one modelled on the
State of Washington's Compensa
tion Law based on the principle of
Industrial Insurance which would
protect all wage earners and relieve
the employer of responsibility and
put it where it belongs, namely the
State.
And Be It Further Resolved: that
not only the worker be protected
against hazard but that his or her
dependents receive protection in the
form of insurance against illness
And Be It Further Resolved: That
the secretary be instructed to send
a copy of this resolution to each
delegation from each Judicial Dis
trict of Alaska, a copy to Anthony
J. Dimond, a copy to the Governor
of Alaska, a copy to the press and
a copy to spread upon the minutes.
Resolution passed Dec. 20, 1934.
STORY BEHIND
ULM’S TRY TO
SPAN PACIFIC
Following is a story which ap
peared in several outside papers
prior to the time that Lieut. Ulm
and his companions took off on
their projected hop to Honolulu and
Australia.
At the time of his disastrous flight
no reasons were given as to what
the purposes behind the hop were,
Lieut. Ulm and two companions
were never found, evidently having
lost their lives by drowning in the
Pacific Ocean.
SOUTHAMPTON, Nev. 10— Plans
for a regular trans-Pacific air serv
ice, carrying passengers and mail be
tween Australia, Canada and the
United States, were disclosed today
by Charles T. P. Ulm, Australian
aviator, as he sailed from here for
Canada.
Ulm is managing director or the
Great Pacific Airways Ltd. He is
scheduled to arrive in Montreal Nov
ember IE. From Montreal he in
tends to fly to Vancouver, British
Columbia, from where he will at
tempt an 8000-mile flight to Austral
ia on a survey.
Two weeks ago Ieon Skilling, nav
igator for Ulm announced in Hono
lulu that he, Ulm, George M. Little
john and another Australian airman
would attempt a flight from Can
ada to Australia this month.
Three Stops on Trip
Skilling said that they probably
would take off from Vancouver and
fly to Melbourne, with landings at
Honolulu, Fiji Islands, and Auck-'
land, New Zealand.
Ulm once was co-pilot with Sir j
Charles Kingsford-Smith. He was,
one of Sir Charles companions on
his flight across the Pacific in June
1928, when the pair, with two Am
ericans flew from Oakland to Syd
ney, Australia, by way of Honolulu
and the Fiji Islands. |
Ulm and Littlejohn have been ini
England testing a plane for the flight.;
