MUST NOT SIT BACK
IN CIVIC AFFARS
Now that our municipal election is over,
and we have placed in office the several
oacn of our choice, w'ho will take up their
duties in respect to the vital operations of
our civic affairs, we must not allow our
selves the privilege of falling back on our
heels and saying to ourselves: “We have
done our duty for another year, as we have
gone to the polls and voted for our city of
ficers."
We cannot allow this to happen. It must
not be.
In every sense of the word we have a
continuous duty to ourselves, in a selfish
thought, and to our fellow citizens in a
much broader viewr. By our cooperation,
we have elected merely the chairmen of
various committee of which we are all
nembers and vitally interested.
We cannot expect the few chainnen who
have so willingly offered their services for
the good of the community, to do all of the
work. They are individuals like the rest of
us, except that they have shown their will
ingness to cooperate in the big task, by
placing their names on the ballot.
The growing tendency these days is to
‘let George do it’’, and to “damn him” if
he doesn’t do it the way we want it done.
If we don’t help or attend some of the
neetings to find out just what is needed,
r what is going to be done, we have only
ourselves to blame if something goes
wrong, as it takes a majority of opinions to
formulate a correct plan. This can only
take place if we assist our committeemen
in every way possible.
The city council of Nome meets regular
twice a month and very often special
meetings ar ecalled, but few, aaide from
the members of the council, attend these
meetings.
The strength and value of our local
government lies in the vigorous and intelli
gent participation in municipal affairs by
all citizens who can make it possible to give
time and consideration and to assist in
jvery manner possible, the leaders we have
Disced in our highest offices.

EASTER LINE-UP
American Clothes For
Mrs. USA
EASTER PAPER DOLL: The
emit. Kraus original in navy blue
wool by Forstmann. with amus
ing red crochet trim; the bat.
Sally Victor's daisy-trimmed
rtraw bonnet; the shoes, patent
bow-tie pumps by Delman.

AP Fashion Editor
Mrs. USA is going to be better
dressed this Eastern than in pre
war days. The reason: American
designers have hit their stride,
and despite shortages and restric
tions have delivered a spring crop
of suits and hats, frocks and ac
cessories worthy to compete with
r.ny creations of Paris.
The silhouette necessarily is
slim, straight, and uncluttered.
But the variations of cut, styling
and trimming are so fresh, origi
nal and flattering that there need
be no moaning for vanished
drapes.
You need have no qualms about
the fabric quality of your Easter
suit. There is plenty of top-quali*y
wool, and famous mills such as
Forstmann and Botany have turn- '
ed out weaves and colors to make
your mouth water. The rayon
textile manufacturers and design
ers also have done an inspired job
in perfecting handsome new fab
rics.
Here is a lineup of outstanding
styles for the Easter parade:
SUITS: There are three princi- |
pal suit fashions this spring—the
cardigan suit, without collar or
lapels; the bolero, brief and thin
making, and the bellhop jacket
suit, which makes a slim waist
rook slimmer. You’ll see more
gray, brown and violet this year,
too.
COATS: The fingertip length
topper in vivid colors or checks is
the number-one coat style for
spring. Smart also are fitted
Chesterfields in black or navy ra
yon faille.
DRESSES: The suit dress is big
news for Easter — choose it in
print or solid color, in one of the
handsome new crepes or in crisp
taffeta faille. Or select one of
the ultra-smart new tussah suit
dresses, in handsome checks or
small plaids, like tie-silk.
HATS: You may wear your Eas
ter hat tilted forward or smack
on the back of your head, styled i
for a pompadour or the new flat- j
top hairdo. Main thing to remem- I
ber is that heads are small and
neat this season. Choose a pert
flower-trimmed sailor or a youth
ful bonne4, a snug felt cloche or
a dashing tricorne. Or go for one
of the new pint-sized berets, new
and terrific!
Remember the date—Saturday 1
at 10:00 a. m —The Ladies Aid !
of the Federated Church, will
hold a bake sale at Lehmann's.

i
The attention of all shippers
should be directed to the bill of
lading now used in the Alaska
trade on steamships operated for
the War Shipping Administration.
This bill of lading is subject to
the “Carriage of Goods by Sea
Act”, which provides in part that
(6):
“Unless notice of loss or dam
age and the general nature of such
loss or damage be given in writ
ing to the carrier or his agent at
the port of discharge before or
at the time of the removal of the
goods into the custody of the per
son entitled to delivery thereof
under the contract of carriage,
such removal shall be prima facie
evidence of the delivery by the
CAlllNS MR. MtyCR
I
I carrier of the goods as described
in the bill of lading. If the loss
or damage is not apparent, the no
tice must be given within three
days of the delivery.
“Said notice of loss or damage
may be endorsed upon the receipt
for the goods given by the person
taking delivery thereof.
"The notice in writing need not
be given if the state of the goods j
has at the time of their receipt'
been the subject of joint survey !
or inspection.
I %
| "in any event the carrier and i
the ship shall be discharged from
all liability in respect of loss or
damage unless suit is brought
within one year after delivery of j
the goods or the date when the |
goods should have been delivered: |
Provided, That if a notice of loss
■ J.JL AXX X A X .f. J- ■«■ A X X X ,t. A .t. J. A .«■■>. •
or damage, either apparent or
concealed, is not given as provid
ed for in this section, that fact
shall not affect or prejudice the
right of the shipper to bring suit
within one year after the delivery
of the goods or the date when
the goods should have been delic
ered.
“In the case of any actual or
apprehended loss or damage the
carrier and the receiver shall give
all reasonable facilities to each
other for inspecting and tallying
the goods.”
