AN EDITORIAL!

k (Continued from Page 1) ;
brought to the attention of the public and more par
ticularly to the attention of those who read about the
tilings we have not, and believe we have not the things
most pertinent and most needed in any enterprising
locality such as Nome.
If we were to digress for the moment, we could write
almost an identical article as this so-called correspon
dent did, only place it in a backyard nearer to his own
locality. If we did, he’d fee] the same as we—our toes
were hurt when they were t romped ori.
For. the nonce, though we won’t digress—we’ll sim
ply bring to the minds of those interested;! some, pf th.c
bigher things we enjoy in Nome, at the present:
We wonder if this so-called correspondent ever vis
ited a church while in the city. We question if he of
any of his cohorts, know “The Messiah” is to be sung
as. a Christmas cantata in one of the ipca'l churches, by
a chorus of highly-trained voices? Has-this $o-p*plled
correspondent ever ventured far enough throughout
o.ur locality to be entertained at the .homes of those
who at the present are doing their utfrn-ost to secMhire‘the
town and its citizenry for the future?
We are of the opinion he cared little for such a ven
ture. Perhaps he failed to be the Ibalibre that might
fit into such an atmosphere. We sincerely hope this
n,ot true. "
Did this so called correspondent venture into our
school buildings to learn of the high standard of edu
cation we have here in Nome. We are of the opinion
¥ did not. These and many other places could and
would have given him attractive materia] for a story
* which would have proven highly beneficial to our city,
but he failed to visualize such a Story and that it lay
with his grasp—he preferred to slander, rather than
build.
Such action is to be regretted by members of the
Fourth Estate in Nome. Their’s is to build a higher
level for the city rather than that portrayed by this so
called correspondent.
Those who have faith in the city and its future, dare
pot stand idly by when such flagrant misrepresenta
^ tions of the city’s potentialities are published in the
Outside press. For that reason; we of the Fourth Es
tate. in Nome, vehemently are ifi discord with such an
article.
We are thoroughly and completely non-plussed as
to the reason such a deed was committed by one sup
posedly of our number—a member of the Fourth Es
tate. We regret that -which has happened since.
If apology for this so-called correspondent is in or
der, we sincerely pledge that in the future, out utmost
aid in setting aright such misrepresentations can al
wavs be reliably and conscientiously depended upon.
We sincerely hope this alleged member of the Fourth
Estate will think twice ere he conjures up another tale
such as his most recent one. And that, on his next
visit to Nome he shall raise his level to a higher plane
of reasoning than that shown as the result of his re
cent sojourn in our city.

DANCE HALL
IN LONDON

LONDON, Nov. 8.—(AP)—In
one' of the most disastrous air
raids on England in months, a
lone German plane bombed Lon
ddh suburban districts last night
and wrecked a crowded dance
hall, causing many casualties.
A witness described the scene
as being “like a. battlefield,”
with the dead and injured lying
in the streets, which were fit.
tpred. with broken glass, timbers
and bricks.
Two emergency mortuaries
were set up. The bodies of many
lancers were among those re
covered from the wreckage of
the dance hall. Many of the cou
ples were Allied service men and
'th'eir • girl friends.
The German raider swooped
and dropped explosives, just as
hundreds of people were pouring
from three theaters adjacent to
the dance hall. A single bomb'
crashed through the second floor
of the hall into the basement res
taurant and the whole block of
buildings were damaged.
