CLOSING OF BUSINESS HOUSES ON MEMORIAL DAY
Memorial Day, National Legal Holiday, May 30th. will
be observed in Nome tomorrow by the closing of all business
houses, federal offices and agencies, municipal offices,
schools, and the U. S. Signal Corps will only operate on their
Sunday and holiday schedule. The Nome Daily Nugget will
not publish a paper tomorrow.
In past years the American Legion Post at Nome, No. 9,
has always arranged for Memorial Day Commemoration.
Services which the public attended, but due to the confus
ing conditions brought about by the fire, and other difficul
ties due to absence of members, there will be no formal ser
vices this year.
Included in the business houses which will close their
doors all day will be grocery, clothing, meats, airplane of
fices, lighterage companies, hardware, liquor stores,
and other places where the daily business life of the
city is conducted. In the absence of formal exercises it is
suggested that stores remain closed all day in honor of those
who have given up their lives in wars in which the United
States of America has participated. We cannot honor their
memory with fitting memorial services but we can show due
honor by remaining closed for the entire day instead of a
few here and there, keeping their doors open for part of
the day.
DECORATION DAY. MAY 30th. 1935
LEST WE FORGET!
Somewhere in France, beneath the sod,
Her boy now resits in peace.
She prays for him, and silent sobs,
And thinks of years gone by in grief.
On Decoration Day, she prays,
Thait she be taken from this earth.
To meet her boy, as in his ways,
When he was standing by the hearth.
A lad, he was then ten years old,
A youngster bright, and full of pep.
And oft she said, for all the gold,
Would not exchange, her little Ted.
But when the World War broke out,
He was then in his twentieth year.
And full of hopes, without a doubt
He would return, and kissed good-bye his mother dear.
Way down the street, a crowd did gather,
Around a woman old and gray.
Life was extinct—and how much better,
She's gone to Ted, on Decoration Day.

CURRENT
COMMENT
May 15, 1935.
The bonus bill passed the Senate
and the House by votes that leave
little doubt as to where the legis
lators stand respecting the measure,
but the end is not yet. There is an
obstruction that casts a dark shad
dow across the way, and. the Senate
seems inclined to regard the shad
ow rather than to encounter the
obstacle. The attitude of the Presi
dent is well known. It seems pro
bable that the Senate will recon
sider its action aid attempt to work
out legislation which will tend to
ward the end sought to be accom
plished and still merit White House
approval. There is no desire any
where. it seeems, to forget the vet
erans of the last war, but the rais
ing of the necessary money sends
cold chills along many a congression
al spine. Two million dollars is a
large increment to add to appro
priations already made. Refusal to
grant the bonus, and the prospect of
increased taxation if it is granted,
constitute diverging roads which are
equally hard to travel. The present
attitude of the inhabitants of Capi
tol Hill is stop, look and listen.
The Nazi organizaton is hunting
wives for a large farm group. What
becomes of the view that the Ger
mans already are over-governed?
As these words are being written
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd is
on his way up the Potomac, with
Washington as his destination, there
by ending a south polar expedition
initiated a year and a half ago, Ant
arctic discoveries really began dur
ing the present generation, there be
mg a period from 1842 to 1900 dur
ing which the southern end of the
earth’s axis was left strictly alone.
It remained for a Norwegian, Roald
Amundsen, to reach latitude 90 de
'grees south, in 1911 a feat which
was duplicated by Captain Scott in
1912 and by Rear Admiral Byrd in
1929. The difficulties attendant up
on travel to the extreme south are
indicated by the fact that although
about thirty attempts to reach the
North Pole were made between 1587
and 1928, the record of antarctic ex
ploration does not open until 1774,
continued by the annals of less than
a dozen exploratory efforts up to the
present time. The gasoline engine,
radio, flying machines and other in
ventions have made travel in low or
high latitudes easier than they were
in the days when such explorers as
Gen. Greely had to press forward
with a little grub on a dog sled;
but that circumstances does not dim
the glory of Byrd. He was the first
to lay before the public elaborate
information about the ice-capped
south. Granting that he had the
