PROOF OF AN OLD PROVERB
Viva La Difference!
PERFECT EXAMPLE of the sky-wick difference between our
kind of government and government by dictator was provided
A
Soviet party in Moscow.
Famous men — former Premier Malenkov and former Foreign
Minister Molotov among the — were read out of the party, which
means disgrace at the best and extinction by firing squad the worst.
Stalin s embalmed body was removed from the Lenin tomb, the
City of Stalingrad renamed, and the name Stalin removed from
She face of the nation. In Russia, in sum, there's no room for past
leaders. - -
In this country by contrast, we have a President in office—
and we have three living former Presidents, Hoover, Truman and
Eisenhower, who gain stature and the respect of die nation as
times passes. They differ in many ways in their views, but all are
on friendly terms. All speak their minds freely. All have their
public followings. All enjoy high standing and public admiration.
None is in any danger erf being exiled to a U.S.-style Siberia, or
being officially denounced as a traitor or a villain and liquidated.
Well, it couldn't happen in Moscow. So, as die French say,
another connotation, viva U difference !
And, now, think of what has made and what maintains that
difference — government in which the people are the masters,
saot the servants.

Seek Means of
Cutting Costs
The board of directors of
Nome Bowlers, Inc., held
second meeting Thursday evt
Ways and means for cutting aer
ating and overhead costs were
discussed and it was decided to
discontinue the laundry service
as this could be handled by J
stockholders themselves.
Janitorial service, which has cost
$135 per month longer
be necessary, m Mgr. Dick Deems
has offered to assume part of this
responsibility and others will fill
in during their slack time. One
telephone has been removed and.
it is hoped that the remaining
utilities can be lowered. Elmer
Straub has volunteered to haul
garbage free until the alleys are
in position to pay for the service.
A study of .revenue shows that
the bowling alley is not a big busi
ness. The month of June, July
and September receipts were under
$2,000 per month. Five months of
the year were in the $3,000 bracket
with. December revenue tfee largest
at $3,924,04. The balance of the
year yielded between two and three
thousand dollars per month.
Income at this rate will not
cover the normal committments

Administration, M & M B a n k,

accounts.

otherwise, run into thousands of
. dollars and must be met and kept
current if the alleys are going to
be run on a businesslike basis. The
board is presently drafting a let
ter to SBA and Brunswick and
presenting them a clear picture
of the operation and hope that
they will agree to lower monthly
payments.
To further cut the costs, the
Nome bowling alley is going on
a summer schedule beginning May
21, as follows:
Monday thru Friday—6 p.m. to
midnight. Saturday — 1 pm. to
midnight Sunday — 1 pm. to
10:00 pm.
Additional time can be arranged
for bowling parties or special bowl
ing hours by calling Mgr. Deans.
Mgr. Deems is also working on
a summer league bowling session
and will be happy to discuss it
with any interested bowlers.
Also the board is available to
answer questions and discuss any
impovements or ideas that will al
low the alleys to continue in op
eration.
‘'These alleys belong to toe
people and stockholders of Nome,
the board is only your representa
tive, so do not hesitate to come for
ward with your approval or criti
cism. The next meeting will be held
