Civil Defense Is Topic In
Day-Long Meeting at Nome
J C ^
IS NOME PREPARED TO FACE a national emergency ? With
this question in mind, representatives from the State Office of
Civil P tcI the University of Alaska met with 35
No ; e suleii, h view of working out a local program of civil
preparedness
Steven L. Pittman, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Civil
Defense, has stated, "Chilian Defense is not the responsibility of
the Federal or State governments'
exclusively. Each community must,
in case of either a natural or na
tional disaster, be able to stand on
its own feet for the necessary dur
ation of time." Realizing this fact,
the State Department of Civil De
fense has begun a tour of 19 cities
in the state, presenting a program
aimed at further informing the
leaders of these communities in
the procedures necessary in case
of disaster.
Dr. A. S. Buswell, Dean of the
Department of Extension Classes
from the University of Alaska,
opened the conference with an ad
dress on the "International Im
plications of Civilian Defense,”
after which an instructional pro
gram in public safety in case of
nuclear attack was given.
The afternoon sessions were
used to discuss Nome's particular
problems as regard nuclear fall
out and radiation.

Look What’s In Store For You
By SHOPPER JEAN
F|ID YOU KNOW THAT one of the town’s "leading ladies”
^ has already completed her Christmas shopping? Compared to
her, I’m not altogether ahead of the season. To prevent that frantic
last minute search for ideas, I’ve been doing a bit of snooping about
town, and come up with a suggestion or two.
Have you noticed the "new look” in boots? This year’s fashions
are showing the slim knee-high styling. DOROTHY’S has these
in black leather with patent trim — and fleece lined. These leg
warmers deluxe go wonderfully with the shorter skirts the ladies
are wearing this year.
If there has been a new addition in the family, a savings
account, opened at the MINERS & MERCHANTS BANK may
be the start of that valuable college fund, a gift that will be appre
ciated for many years to come.
For the avid fisherman there is a striking tie tack at the
BILLIKIN GIFT SHOP. It’s a fish, of course, but in 10K gold
and very tastefully designed for the most discriminating. It’s sure
to make a hit with father.
Still haven’t mentioned anything to please? The NOME
NUGGET is offering a free one year gift subscription with each
new paid one year subscription. This offer good until January 1.
Just accompany your order with the name and address of the person
to receive the gift and they will tuck in a Christmas greeting with
your name listed as the donor. It’s good in any of the 50 states!
For you out of town readers — don't forget that these stores
are happy to handle your mail orders — and gift wrap too.
