Gruening May
Attend Nome’s
4th Celebration
Chairman Yenney of the
4th of July committee says
everything, including the
iweather, indicates that to-'
morrow’s I n d e pendence
Day celebration will be
one of the best in the his
tory of this pioneer mining
camp.
Our town will be host to
a number of distinguished
visitors, including Alaska’s
Gov. Gruening who has
been expected for the past
several days. As usual, our
enterprising Chamber of
Commerce, under the lead
ership of Pres. Skold and
Secty. Polet, has risen to
the occasion and will pro
vide our distinguished
guests with a Chamber of
Commerce luncheon.
A letter was sent to
Commander Ralph, U. S.
Navy, inviting himself, of
ficers and enlisted men, to
attend and participate in
tomorrow’s celebration, &
of course if Gov. Gruening1
arrives in time we will
have the opportunity of lisj
tening for a few moments, 1
to Alaska’s progressive &!
extremely busy Governor.
All in all, it looks like a
big day and a great time
should be had by all. Be
sure to attend the forenoon I
program starting at 11:00
o’clock.

Mr. Robert Baldwin played an
organ accompaniment to the
ceremony. Prior to the entrance '

The American’s Creed
by William Ty ler Page
“I believe in the United States
of America as a government of
the people, by the people, for
the people; whose just powers
are derived from the consent of
the goverened; a democracy in
a Republic; a sovereign Nation
of many soverign States, a per
feet Union, one and inseparable;
established upon the principles
of freedom, equality, justice and
humanity for which American
patriots sacrificed their lives and
fortunes.
“I therefore believe it is m.v
duty to my Country to love it;
to support its Constitution; to
obey its laws; to respect its flag;
and to defend it against all
enemies.”
