WARNS OF IDLE PLANTS
Warning the mayors of American cit
ies that there will be some idle manufac
turing plants in the near future, Donald
M. Nelson, chairman of the War Produc
tion Board, says that this will not mean
that there can be any immediate relaxa
tion of restrictions.
Mr. Nelson knows that just as soon as
a factory becomes idle for a day or so
there will arise a demand that its facili
ties be utilized to produce civilan goods.
He also knows that the layoff may be
temporary and that the plant should be
in reserve available for renewed war pro
duction at a moment’s notice.
To permit the reconversion of plants
as quickly as they become idle will be a
risk which the nation cannot afford. No
body knows when hostilities: will end
and until they do, the full resources of
the nation must be mobilized for war ser
vice.—'Fairbanks News-Miner).
THE DIGNITY OF MAN
At home—on the stret—in the shop—
at work or play, the thoughts that go on
in our minds and the actions we take,
leave indelible impressions which form
character portraits expressing, or failing
to exprss, the dignity of the individual.
Courage in meeting each problem as it
arises—in doing something definite to
wards its solution—and without delay—
is the backbone of personal dignity.
Born to overcome the lements in which
we live, and command the instruments
which we employ, there is no limit to the
achievements of which man is capable.
Impossibilities of one generation are the
commonplaces of another, and each hu
man being is the inheritor of a past glor
ious in attainment, and the line with a
future which stretches into far horizons
whose magnificence can be only dimly
imagined.
The tasks which we daily perform have
very little significance. Without the
fild laborer the crop is lost. Without the
banker there is no money for seed!
Every man is allotted a task of equal
importance in the overall scheme of
things. Only as that task is dignified by
the individual does it assume import
ance in the eyes of the community.—
(The Impeller).

SCHOOL NOTES
Saturday night found everyone
traveli ng toward the high school
building. The crowd was tremen
dous, approximately 250 soldiers
and civilians attending in all.
Although the dance was sched
uled to begin at 8:00 p. fn., the
crowd did not gather in extensive
numbers until nine o’clock .* A
number who attended did not
have invitations, but as it was
impossible to cover everyone in
that manner, we admire their
courage in a'tending and contrib
uting to so worthy a cause.
| Music was provided by Ray
Johnson’s orchestra, and proved
most suitable for dancing. A. Po
let. owner of the Polet Store,
contributed ivory as a door prize
and Mr. Nelson held the lucky
number.
Mr. Se denverg. owner of the
Bon Marche Store, con'ributed a
turkey which was won by Bobby
Lewis.
Punch was served at one end of
the dance floor by Mrs. T. Scott,
and by this means, $12.50 was col
lected in tips.
$174.00 was taken in through
admission charges.
Patrons and patronesses of the
dance were as follows.
Mr. and Mrs. T. Scott.
Mrs. Rose Silverman.
Mr. and Mrs. N. Strand.
Mr. and Mrs. O. Hay.
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Dowd.
Mrs. C. Waldheim.
Mrs. C. McLain.
Dr. and Mrs. T. Morcom.
We thank the above for their
cordial services rendered.
A floor show was presented at
10:30 p. m., by the Nome High
school students, who received
much applause from the audience.1
even though we're all amateurs!
Among the acts were: Jimmy
Sml'h and Bob Strand as two col-,
lege boys who gave a number of
good jokes: Elinor Dowd. Mary
Ann and Bernadette Amarok. and
Caroline McLain as four musical;
notes, singing “Sunday, Monday
or Always”, and “Pistol Packin’
Mama.”
* Impersonations <pf letoding
townspeople were portrayed by
various students and the audience
readily guessed those being im
personated. Then last but not
least on the program, came forth
Carmen Miranda, alias Frances;
Waldheim, from the heart of the
Argentina Pampas, gracefully
moving to the strains of ‘‘Down
Argentina Way”, with the aid of
four chorus girls.
Dancing continued until 1:00
a. m. Everyone was astounded at
the remarkable decorations and
the pleasing way in which the
dance was carried on. The funds'
collected from this will serve in ]
purchasing a public drinking
fountain and in financing our bi-j
ology clean-up campaign.
Tonight is the night on which
the Nome High School Drama Club
