An ironing board and iron are not
ordinarily a part of the wardrobe
of the light traveler, yet this com
bination is compact enough to be
included. When the tiny box which
contains a small electric iron is
opened it assumes the shape of an
ironing board of sufficient area to
permit the pressing of almost any
article of apparel.

The Nome Arsav Office of the
Territorial Department of Mines
will be closed from November
15. 1938, to about April 1, 1939.
During this p riod samples for
assay and specimens to be identi
fied may be sent to the Fairbanks
office.
In so far as the early winter
weather has put an end to pros
pecting, and fi Id work cannot be
done efficiently till spring, it is
felt that the closing of the office
during this period will not incon
venience the prospectors of this
division.
Local assayer Aben Shallit, ac
companied by his wife expect to
leave Nome via plane Tuesday
for Ketchikan, via Fairbanks,
where he will relieve the Ketchi
kan assayer who is on vacation.
Later Mr. Shallit will fly to Fair
banks and relieve the assayer
there who will also take a vaca
tion, after which he will return
to his Nome office to carry on his
assaying duties here.
The Nome Nugget has been re
quested by the Alaska Tubercul
osis Association to publish the
following communication which
is self explanatory:
This year the Alaska Tubercul
osis Association will conduct its!
fifth annual Christmas Seal Sale
to raise funds for the campaign
against tuberculosis.
Last year Alaskans in 217
towns and villages scattered all
over the Territory bought Christ
mas Seals and thus demonstrated
that they were behind this effort
to help in solving Alaska’s great
est public health problem. These
Seals are to be used not only on
holiday mail, but throughout the
year. Einar Holbell, a Danish
postal clerk, originated the idea
of the Christmas Seal and forty
globe have accepted it as a means
three othe- countries around the
of fund raising to finance,tuber
culosis work.
In Alaska, Christmas Seal
funds have been used to increase
the tuberculosis work of the
Health Department so that now
to date over 4.0(A) persons have
been examined and x-rayed and
over 6,000 persons tuberculin
tested. Portable x-ray equipment
has been provided so that this
service can be extended to the
most remote parts of the Terri
tory. Teaching material on tuber
culosis is being sent to the!
schools so that children can lean
how this d sease is being pre
vented and cured by moderi
methods.
Harry Watson, President of th>
Alaska Tuberculosis Association
states that every effort will bi
made by those responsible fo
spending Christinas Seal Sah
funds to use them in the mos
o ctive manner possible in or
d r that tuberculosis may bi
•voa-dily reduced in the Territory

burned to death, and the fire
i spread to several other buildings
in that area, including the post
’ office building.
After this fire the Masonic
Temple was erected one block
west and the postoffice installed
therein. It was not until the big
fire of 1934 Which destroyed most
of Nome, including the building
in which the postoffice was, that
j another location was found nec
1 essary. At this time buildings
were very scarce but due to
quick action on the part of Post
: master Guy E. Mish, arrange
ments were made to occupy St.
Joseph’s hall opposite the Cath
olic Church on Stedman Avenue,
where the office remained untli
; the completion of the new Post
office and Court House located at
old Barracks Square on Front
Street. ,
After 38 years Nome has a
modern equipped post office
which is a credit to the commun
ity, and a New Deal postmaster.
Guy E. Mish, who is not only
courteous and efficient, and as
many people have remarked—
the right man in the right place,
even if he is a democrat.
Following are the names of
postmasters who have held of
fice since the beginning of Nome:
