MONDAY. APRIL 24, 1944
PRIMARY ELECTION TOMORROW
Tomorrow April 21st. the Primary
Election will take place in the City
Hall for both the Democratic and Repub
lican parties. The NUGGET carried un
biased information of all candidates who
furnished such information, thereby en
abling the public to get acquainted with
the aspirants for the several offices to be
filled.
Now is the time for each and every
Alaskan of either party, to think careful
ly what he expects of his legislature and
choose the candidate best suited for the
job. The results will naturally show
the wishes of the majority. If this is
wisely done, the September election will
have a fine group of men from which to
choose our leaders.
Any citizen over 21 years of age, and
who has been in Alaska for one year, and
who has resided in the voting precinct
for 30 days is legally entitled to vote.
Some self-styled authorities, on el
ection results, predict a small percentage
of the total of possible votes will be cast
due however to the absent voters in the
armed forces, and also a high percentage
of the population is composed of new
. comers who haven’t been in residence
long enough to vote. Others contend
'that this year will bring out more voters
than in 1942, for both parties, inasmuch
is thre has been considrable more com
petition and campaigning, than in the
iseveral previous years
I WHAT PRICE PILOTS?
Uncle Sam takes a new recruit of top
notch physical and mental state and
ability, and makes of him a combat pilot
during a period of two years, and at the
tremendous cost of $30,000.
Trained and equipped to the peak of
prfection, he will be a sure-fire success
as a fighting man.
But when his fighting days are over,
and his job in combat is finished, can we
be certain that he will have something
substantial to come back to, in our nation
of opportunity and prosperity?
We must continue to make substan
tial investments in war bonds in order
to help fight the war and also to insure
a prosperous post-war economy.
It is the duty of each and everyone
to invest regularly and substantially for
evervbodv’s future. :

Mrs Chas Fagerstrom, Bert Bell,
Norman Lee, B. G. Baker, and
Rev. Vernon Booker.
Those elected to the scout com-|
mittee were; B. G. Baker, Bert:
Bell, Frank Bingham, Charles,
Fagerstrom, and Alvin Polet.
4t their last regular meeting
the Nome Religious Council, under
the leadership of Tom Morris, a
greed to act as the sponsoring
organization for the Boy Scouts.
Credit should be given to Jack j

helped to organize this important
