Major Graham
Addresses Nome
Mass Meeting
(Continued From Page *Jne)
to the training, mental and phys
lea! that lie has received before
entering the field of battle.
,‘Make no mistake about these
dictators,” the Major emphasized
“they are ruthless and their lust
for power is an obsession. We
must prepare ouselves to knock
their ears off when they come
over here. Our form of (govern
ment, our way of life and our
freedom is dependent on our be
ing ready to fight for it. In this
day and age doesn’t it speak well i
for our democracy that in this
town we can gather together for
discussion in open forum and de
cide on what we want to do?” |
A National Guard Unit has al I
ready been formed in four towns
in Alaska: Ketchikan, Juneau,
Anchorage and Fairbanks. The
units have been enthusiastically
received and the quota has been
filled and a waiting list of applie
ants are waiting for vacancies, i
Nome, while smaller than these
other communities, where units
have been formed, is no less en
thusiastic and patriotic. Nome
now has a long list of applicants
who ere anxioius for a unit here
and we could easily fill more
than twice the necessary quota.
Nome a lusty youngster of 40
1 odd years, has acquired intq,rna
1 tional fame for its ability to cope
with every situation and in i(s
time has experienced disasters of
national consequence. Now Nome
will once more sitep to the fore
ground and hold up her head and
say to the world, “We are pre
pared.”
At the conclusion of the meet
ing, a motion was made by Wm.
Maloney for the chairman to ap
point a committee to draft a
resolution asking our delegation
at Alaska’s 15th legislature to
, cooperate with us and to obtain
an appropriation for the build
I ing of an Armory for the Sec
1 ond Division, to be located in
Nome, The motion was seconded
| and a unanimous vote was cast.
1 The chairman asked Mayor Mil
ler to appoint a committee and
! he selected A. Polet, Wm. H.
Kelsey and Wm. Maloney, who
forthwith drew up a resolution
and have wired it to the Sec
ond Division delegation.
The meeting was concluded by
two selection by our High School
band.
Todate more than 200 appli
1 cants have registered of which1
140 are eligible for the National
Guard.
