NOME TO CELEBRATE
FOURTH OF JULY WITH
LARGE PROGRAMS
FOUKTH OF Jtl/Y, l»«4
AT NOME
Another yen’ has rolled iy anil j
hano the F»ur‘. a of July *ga*n j
It is not necefst :y"‘To gr m«f- a‘*y
lengthy dessertafi hi as n why we
• celebrate the Fourth of July l<et
it suffice to •»oj that tie* tth of
July has been jln.wl as a holi
day In remembi a tee of the slgn
ing of the. Declaration of Inde
pendence by which the United
Colonies declared themselves free
and no longer subservient to the
power of the English throne.
However, the Fourth of July
brings to mind those great states
men who with their foresight and
wisdom brought ifl,to »the world, a
nation of people, who today stand
as the greatest nation on the globe.
Patriotism, the word of the na
tionalities. the word which tired
the ambitions and minds of those
handful of men who recognized
that freedom and initiative were
born ulike to every man. Pat
riotism does not necessarily mean
the will (Hid desire to die for one's j
country. It can and • does mean
the dcv.f’ti01' to one's country in
which is registered pride and
wisdom.
Where started the performancej
of the observation of the 4th of
July is a mystery. Why do the j
,children of today, and of yester-1
day want to get their firecrack
ers and start whooping the town
up, with their din chatter? *To
Young America, the 4th of July
•can mean hut one thing, a chance
to shoot off firecrackers and wave
American flags, while they wait
for a chance to out-run some
4 other young person, to win a
prize, though It be but a smalll
amount of money.
Young America wants freedom
and they usually get It on the
Fourth of July. Since the found
ing of the t'nited States of Am
erica the youth of the nation have
, waited patiently for an entire
year until that day again tpmes
around again when, with all of
t1 . • s.
thejr youthful ambition and en-»
etgv, they can get out and «n»
joy the freedom of being able to
mrlte a big noise, parade, run
races, eat as much as they want
to, and in short, be the big frag
in a small puddle.
As a matter of fact. Fourth of
July is for thP young people of
the nation; and what is more,
they seem to kno-w it. Outside
the parades t^ike place of army
and navy units, inspiring and
'litickening the blood id any per
son's breast. In Nome we don't
have a parade of the militia to
temember to us that this " is- the
4th of July', but we do have a pro
gram of literary and- sport feat
ures which amply brings to Jrund
that once again it is ''Kid’s Day”
for the nation and that we sl-outd
mi something .-I opt it.
The City of Verne is sponstring
this year's Fourth of July Cele
bration. They^have arranged a
literary jtrograifi to lie given in
the morning, tomorrow, followed
in the afternoon by a program of
sports. Tlu* sports program is
usually one of in.i.i-rest, in whifth
the boys and girls of Nome enjoy
themselves to the 1'fullest extent.
In addition to regular American
sports, there is tie added attrac
tion of Eskimo sports, sports
which have crime down through
history with the tribes of Eski
mos. They are especially interest
ing to observe. In le evening a
big dance has he n arranged for.
It will he free m every finery* and
everyone is invited, lo attend.
All in all. the' planning of a
day for the children and grown
ups of Nome, has been well taken
care of.
There is only one precaution
which should be taken and that Is:
do not allow the children or any
one else for that matter, to shoot
off firecrackers and other explosive
packages on t.h,. wooden streets
of the city. Thp fire hazard Is
too great to take chances. There
Is plenty of sand and gravel on
the beach of Bering Sea, where
a tire cannot start from burning
•'punks" and matches, thrown
hastily away, and another “red
skin bit the dust.”
It should be the duty of the
city police to take care that fire
crackers are not shot off on the
wooden streets of Nome, nor
around dry buildings'or grass. In
addition to this it is the' duty1 of
every citizen to keep in mind and
prevent teh starting of fires caus
ed by shooting off firecrackers,
matches, “punks’,' and other in
burnable objects.
;
in company with other business
houses of Nome, The Nome Nug
get will not publish its Daily Kdi- 1
tion on the 4th, but will observe
the day in company with the rest
of Nome, the Territory, and the
Nation.
Remember the Fourtji of July
for what it is. Have a good tint'*
and be sure that every child of
Young America gets the most out
of their day of fun. So. “■let 'er
Rip," "Bang!" for another Font ]
th of July.”
