World cnsises are developing
e ery day. thi United States is
rushing to rearm: almost every
wr. in Alaska is organizing .ts
ws form of Home Defense or
Natrona. Guard. Nome should
not turn a deaf car to these hap
pen, r.gs out should be one cf the
first to organize its form of de
fer..~e True, many will say that
no one wants Nome and. maybe
no one does. but we who make
this li‘.h>e town our home do and
don't want any d.ctator cast
:ng an. eye this way. It u not
absurd or fantastic to think in
these days of modem warfare,
that five men. properly armed
and dropped from one airplane
could in fifteen minutes take
ov.t the town of Nome ar.d do
with it what they wished. Citi
zens of the community should
show their enthusiasm and pride
and offer every assistance they
can to form such local defenses
as will be suggested by Major
Granam when he arrives in town.
A simple form for registration
has been distributed about town
recently. The purpose of this reg
istration is to show to Army of
ficials that Nome has enough cit
izens within its limits to warrant
the placing of an armory here,
where we can have access to it
when the time comes and, that
may come suddenly. Who knows’’
If you male citizens between
the ages of 18 and 60 have not
yet received a registration form
you may obtain one from the Of
fice of the City Clerk Don’t hesi
tat?. Get’s act now!
This call for registration for
civil defense is voluntary and is
not oomulsory. The more enthus
iasm shone the more help we can
get for Nome.
