LOMEN COMMERCIAL CO
To Sponsors
Of The Na
tional Guard
There is no question, the larg
er towns of the Territory are go
ing to have armories and Nation
al Guard units which Nome will
1 pay h r share of the taxes in
helping to build and support.
Shall we pay our part of the
taxes and still get no direct bene
- fits?
The National Guard will offer
an opportunity for the young
men of Nome to get the bbsic
military training which is going
to be r quired of all able bodied
young men and will stay in
Nome unless the company should
be called into active service for
one year by the President. In
that case the principal advantage
over being called as a draftee
would be the advance knowledge
he would have of Military
Science and Tactics which would
acord him a much greater oppor
tunity for advancement or promo
tion to any of the specialized
branches of the Army.
If you are interested in a Na
tional Guard armory being built
at Nome and seeing that Norn
gets her share of the tax money
spent in the Territory as well as
paying her share of the taxes,
you should write your represent
ative an airmail letter right away
and let him know how you feel
about the matter or Nome will
probably not get the Armory or
; National Guard Company.

NEW PAA LODESTARS
CARRY 14 PASSENGERS
It is interesting to know that
the 14-passenger PAA Lockheed
Lodestars that are flying between
Juneau and Seattle have a cruis
ing speed of 239 miles an hour
and its top flight speed at 8,800
feet altitude, 263 miles per hour.
The ships have a wing spread of
i ovor 65 feet, has twin tail as
semblies and are almost 50 feet
in length. Climbing from sea
level at 1,850 feet per minute
the Lodestars can level off and '
fly 1,540 miles, carrying 664 gal
| Ions of fuel and using 95 gallons
per hour. The ships have retract
able landing gear and seats 14
passengers, although it is thought
that the load for the Alaska runj
will possibly b. 10 to 12 passen
gers because of long flights with
j out refueling.
