LIQUOR POLL
RESULTS ARE
ANNOUNCED
The Religious Council of Nome
began last Wednesday a house-to
house canvass of the city to gain
impartial opinions of every adult
member of the community on the
question of the control of liquor.
There was a general eagerness
among the people of Nome to co
operate in this effort which made
tl'.e effort much more easy to car
ry out successfully.
At a report meeting of the
workers held Friday night, it
was learned that:
370 Public Opinion Poll blanks
had been turned in wiht the fol
lowing results recorded:
98 to prohibit the sale of li
quor in Nome.
128 to limit the sale and con
trol to one municipally-owned
store.
170 to regulate the sale of li
quor by a permit system.
36 to restrict the sale of liquor
to light wines and beer only.
50 to prohibit the sale of liquor
over the bar.
152 to enforce more strictly the
liquor laws now on the books.
There will be a final report
meeting of the workers Tuesday
evening of this week, at which
time it is hoped to reach the goal
of 500 blanks filled out and
turned in.
If you rave not registered your
opinion on this matter, please
send in this article checking the
plan or plans you favor, as they
are listed above. Send your opin

RUSSIANS TO
SHIFT FORCES
IN GERMANY
MOSCOW, Mar. 12.—(AP)—The
Red Army Supreme Command
began a shift of large forces to
the Berlin front, after smashing
all enemy resistance between the
mouths of the Vistula and Oder
rivers with the exception of a
small crunk of territory in the
extreme northern Pomerania,
with Marshal Rokossovsky’s Arm
ored Vanguards over-running the
Polish Corridor, it has been re
ported today.
The marshal will be able to
command the vital sector of the
front facing Berlin, taking his
place to the right of Marshal Zhu
kov’s right flank, in which posi
tion he wheeled across East
Prussia in mid-January.
The re-grouping of Russian
strength of men and guns will be
the greatest offensive operation
since the Red banner flew over
German soil.
