GET TOUGH SAYS FITTS
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 16 —

\ OUR ADS ON HOW HEALTHFUL
V. CANNED SALMON IS!
INTO MILLIONS of U. S. homes this year goes an impor
tant health message: Science finds notable food values
richly stored in Canned Sainton! This is the story that
Canned Salmon advertising is telling housewives and
mothers through national circulation magazines. It’s
another fact about Alaska’s good product that is en
couraging more and more U. S. women to serve Canned
Salmon in their homes.
Good reason, too, for Alaska families to enjoy more
Canned Salmon! Food authorities say that Canned Sal
mon contains a greater store of important nutrients than
almost any other food. Protein, for instance—the food
\ \ \ HH# -TTTU^V-r
element vou expect a main dish to supply. Canned Sal
mon is rated abundant in life-sustaining protein
than almost any othei main dish food. Then there’s the
rare “sunshine” vitamin L—fanned Salmon is an extra
good source of vitamin 1). Salmon also supplies vitamins
A and G plus the valuable food minerals—calcium and
phosphorous—that help keep teeth and bones sound and
healthy.
Add these health facts to the satisfying goodness of
Canned Salmon and you’ll know why we say—to you
Alaskans as well as to the U. S.—“For good health and
good eating—serve Canned Salmon/”

Gov. Leaves Nome
Make First Flight
To New Zealand
(Continued From Page One)
P ' secretary of the Charpber
f Commerce; Father Thomas
Cunningham; Judge J. H. S. Mori
son; Miss Mildred Maynard; Mrs.
Thomas Morcom; Mr. G. R. Jack
feson and Mr. O. S. Weaver. The
plane iflew northward over the
Kougarok section circling over
various mining camps in that
area and then headed westward,
first sighting the Arctic Ocean
just north of Wales, the western -
[most point on the North Ameri
can continent. As the plane flew
further westward the party could
readily sec East Cape, Siberia,
and both Little Diomede and Big
Diomede islands. Flying along
the International Date Line and
circling over Little Diomede Is
land an excellent view was ob
tained of Big Diomede which is
a Russian possession. Contrary to
many reports that have been cir
culated it is now definitely estab
lished that there is no construc
tion work of any kind going on
| atop that island. On the return
to Nome the plane flew over the
various 'towns and mining camps
along the coast.
A public reception took place
in the school gymnausium Satur
day night at which Mr. Howard
Lyng was chairman. Judge J. H.
S. Morison presented a prelimin
ary address which was most en
i thusiastically received. Senator
! O. D. Cochran who is not only
the President of the Territorial
Chamber of Commerce but is our
first regent of the University of
Alaska, made a short talk, after
which the chairman introduced
the Honorable Ernest Gruening,
Governor of Alaska, who gave
the Nome public an address
which contained much food for
I thought.
Space does not permit the pub
lishing in full of Gov. Gruening’s
hour-long address, in which he
gave to the people of Nome a
complete and profound exposi
tion of B'ederal and Territorial re
lationships, problems of govern
ment, and a plea for the contin
uation of our American plan of
living.
A few excerpts from Gov.
Gruening’s inspiring speech fol
low:
“Alaska began with the finding
of gold, litle more than forty
years ago. It was dominated large
ly by transients, but a good many
of them stayed and now there is
a new group of Alaskan born—to
whom Alaska is home. . . .
In general we have the same
problems—a permanent p ace in
which to live, striving n: > • and
More for self-government, and a
•e of responsibilit\ ! r your
>wn problems. 'Give a. much as
you take.’ In our ev lutiom to
ward statehood it is neces ry for
us to be more and more self
sufficient, . . .
Bf.st Known Town in Alaska
“Nome, curiously enough, is
the best known town in Alaska.
Some six years ago I was invited
into the service of the govern
ment as Director of Territories
and Island Possessions. I took
office on the 16th of September,
1934. The next thing was the re
ceipt of a telegram that Nome
had burned. My first assignment
was to do something about it
and I sent the Assistant Director,
Mr. Clark to see what coould be
done. . . .
Democracy an Experiment
“Democracy was an experi
ment, and still is an experiment,
and always will be an experi
ment, but one that must go on.
It is the duty of each genera
tion to keep it going. Democracy
is first of all challenged from
without. That is evident by our
activities in Alaska, and the news
in the papers and on the radio.
That aspect deals with defense.
In Alaska we are geographically
remote from the scene of im
mediate conllict. I wish I could
impress upon you of how serious
and how tragically everything I
consider important may be im
periled. We have had wars be
fore; we have fought for our prin
ciples and beliefs. You can not
lose this war and survive with
anything worth surviving for.
Freedom of worship, freedom of
thought, liberty of conscience,
are the most precious possessions
a human being can have. And
that is what the dictators are de
termined to destroy. Our great
task here is to make democracy
work. You only get out of a
democracy what you put into it.
It is a responsibility. It is a re
sponsibility that was entrusted to
us. . . .
“I have a strong conviction
that in a democracy, public serv
ice is important. 1 am trying to
help the people of Alaska help
themselves. One of the most im
portant things in the present pro
gram is a great big modern air
port here at Nome for our west
ernmost outpost, and a flying
unit, a National Guard Flying
Squadron composed of Alaska
Flyers who are the best flyers
anywhere in the world. , . .
“We are not your rulers, we
are your servants, and you must
pay attention to what is need
ed and what should be done. Pat
rick Henry said: ‘Eternal vigi
lance is the price of liberty.’ ”
