President Asks
150 Million For
WPA For 5 Mo.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 7,
(iP) — President Roosevelt told
Congress that an emergency ex
ists for Relief and asked for the
immediate consideration of an
additional appropriation of one
hundred and fifty million dollars
for the WPA for the next five
months.
The figure represents the cuts
that Congress made for his re
quest of eight hundred and sev
enty-five million dollars to carry
the WPA from February thru
June.
White House officials announ
ced that the President had sign
ed the seven hundred and twen
ty-five million dollar bill last
Saturday.
The President said in a mess
age to Congress, that with only
seven hundred and twenty-five
million dollars available, the
WPA must either reduce the
rolls abruptly on April one, by a
million persons or begin at that
date, a week by week reduction
which by June 30 will drop the
employment of the present three
million to a figure well below a
million and a half.
NO MORE MORI JIO
Incidental intelligence by way
of Tokyo informs that the Jap
anese government has banned
the ancient custom of placing
tiny piles of salt in front of busi
ness places to ward oil bad luck
and woo customers.
The salt charm was known as
“mori jio” or “devil chasers” and
its abolition is reported to have
wrought consternation among
(the Tokyo shopkeepers.
The “no more mori jio” decree
is a wartime measure, .the idea
being, it is said, to place the salt
thus saved on Chiang Kai-chek’s
tail feathers and capture him.

Our Lady of Lourdes Mission
Pilgrim Springs, Alaska
January 7, 1939
Editor Nome Nugget,
Nome, Alaska.
Dear Mr. Maynard:—
The Sisters and the children of
Pilgrim Springs, have just cele
brated one of the happiest and
most enjoyable Christmas Festi
vals in the history of the Mis
sion. That this joy and happiness
was due in great part to the kind
ness and generosity of the people
of Nome, there is no doubt, and
in the name off the children and
sisters, I wish to thank all those
who contributed to this happi
ness.
All realize how difficult it is
to get a Christmas Tree in this
section of Alaska. In fact trees
of any description are scarce,
but the fir and the cedar, which
lends such an oder to the house
at Christmas time are hard to
find. Yet a Christmas Tree WAS
brought to the Mission by Mr.
Wien, who picked it up some
where on his flights, and this was
just what was needed to com
plete our joy and make the
Christmas a real success.
Many of the gifts and presents
bore the names of the generous
donors. All these persons will be
remembered and thanked person
ally. But there were other gifts
which bore no name, the donors
just wishing to make the child
ren of the Springs happy, with
out attracting any attention to
themselves. To these all we send
our grateful thanks. There were
the members of the Nome Vol
unteer Fire Department. How
many an hour they worked gath
ering toys and repairing them, in
order to make some little young
ster happy?
Then too, the many lovely pres
ents from the children of the
Federated Church in Nome. With
out these presents from Rev.
Mr. Widney’s Congregation many
a stocking at the Springs would
have a thin and hungry look.
Finally what is a stocking with
out candy. Toys alone do not
make a child’s Christmas, there
must be candy too, to go with the
toys. To the members of the
Good Cheer Committee under
Mr. Leonard Smith, this tooth
some morsal was not forgotten
from the stockings of the child
ren.
In return for all that our dear
friends in Nome have done for j
us, we wish them in return a
very, very Happy and Prosper-1
ous New Year. We will remem
ber our good friends of Nome in
our prayers, and beg the dear
Lord to give them in abundance
those material gifts and bene
fits, which they have so lovingly
lavished on His little orphans
Respectfully yours,
Rev. E J. Cunningham
