ROOM WITH A VIEW
A LOT OF PFOPLF, for various reasons, like Nome just the
way it is. Many are outspoken in their criticism of one thing or
another, but they really don’t want to change anything if it means
the expending of effort on their part. Others, fortunately, the
people with vision, and who understand the meaning of the word
"progress,” are for any and every thing that will better our com- \
munity as long as it is reasonable; and they are willing to work 1
to this end.
In my opinion it is reasonable to want what other people
have taken for granted for generations . . . running water and a
sewer system. I wonder if there is a single city left in the United
States — which is as old as Nome, with the population, and the
municipal income, etc., etc., etc., that is as retarded in this phase
of our development. Our problems are unique, but we have an
opportunity to move ahead. AND THIS CAN BE DONE IN
SPITE OF THOSE WHO WISH TO RETARD THE GROWTH
OF NOME!
All it takes is a decision on the part of the voter. If you want
cleanliness instead of filth, respectability instead of squalor,
adequate fire protection instead of the menace of suffering and
destruction, vote YES on BOTH propositions Friday. If you seek
nothing but what is handed you vote no, or don't bother to
vote at all.
If you are in doubt, undecided, talk with members of any of
the organizations which are behind progress for Nome. These
people, the civic leaders of Nome, can give you a multitude of
reasons.

Rep. Rivers reported on his part
in obtaining the "stretch out” on
die Reed Fund. President Ken
nedy had signed the bill just prior
to leaving for Dallas, Tex., which
gave Alaska s Employment Secur
ity Commission additional time in
which to repay the federal govern
ment the indebtedness. As a re
sult, the congressman reported,
the deduction from employes will
fall at $9 this coming year, rather
than the $13.50 expected. Mr. Riv
ers spoke at the Nome High School
on current events, for an hour
Monday morning and he stated
that for himself it was an ex
tremely satisfactory experience,
and that the students are very
aware and alert to what is going
on in the world.
Sen. Pearse Walsh advised that
as of Monday, there still has been
no word from Governor Egan on
the appointment of a superior court
judge for Nome. He also pointed
with pride to the efforts of the
yoluntecr firemen who have been
stringing Christmas tree lights over
the streets of Nome this week. He
expressed appreciation also to the
Nome Light and Power for their
work with the firemen.
