Public Opinion Poll
On Liquor!
(Sponsored by the Nome Religious Council)
Many people would like to see
an improvement in the liquor
• situation in the City of Nome.
IN THE YEAR 1944 there were ;
approximately 333,000 quarts of
liquor shipped into the city.
THE RESULTS:
IN COST: The cost to the con
consumer; loss of man hours due
to drinking; expense to the City
and Federal governments; medi
cal care; gambling and theft of
* money while drunk; fines paid
the City and Federal authori
ties, and other direct costs of li
quor—brings the total expense to
liquor during 1944 to about $967,
000 in Nome, Alaska.
IN HEALTH: It has been con
servatively estimated that 25 per
* cent of the medical care in the
community is due to drinking,
and about 75 per cent of the
nursing care among the Natives
is due to drinking.
IN LAWLESSNESS: There were
607 arrests in the city during
1944 and out of this number 81
per cent were arrested for
drunkenness.
IN RELIGION: In religious
work at least 60 per cent of the
personal and family problems can
be traced to the drinking of li
quor.
CONCLUSIONS It is evident
that liquor is a major expense to
the citizens of the community;
it is one of the greatest causes of
disease and ill health; lawlessness
and the breakdown of moral and
religious standards.
What Should We Do About It?
1. Prohibit the sale of liquor in
♦ Nome.
2. Limit the sale and control to
one municipally owned store.
3. Regulate the sale of liquor
by a permit system.
• 4. Restrict the sale of liquor to
light wines and beer only.
5. Prohibit the sale of liquor
over the bar.
6. Enforce more strictly theli
quor laws now on the books.

ligious Council of Nome, Box 84.

"Tiger" Hits the Sack in a Battle Helmet
Official U. S. Const Guard photo.
“Tiger,” mascot of a Coast Guard-manned destroyer escort, is a sea
going kitten with a record of several dangerous trips across the Atlantic.
“Tiger” curls up in a battle helmet for his “snut-eye.” Pet of the
foVsle, the kitten is ever playful, amusing the ship’s crew by agile leap#
from bunk to bunk.
