HELP THE SCOUT PROGRAM !
Back in 1916 Congress granted a federal charter
to the Boy Scouts of America and the organization has
grown now until over 5 million boys .are members.
More than 850,000 adults serve as volunteer lead
ers in the Boy Scouts, including 127,000 Den Mothers
for the Cub Scout program.
Since 1910, 20,000,000 men have been Boy Scouts.
Many in the community are not called upon to
give their services but realize that those volunteer
workers are giving their time to make the men of
tomorrow who will lead the nation.
Rotarians in our town will call on you for a dona
tion to keep Troop 666 and Cub Pack 363 an active part
of that organization. Be ready, be cheerful, be anxious
to do your share tomorrow when businessmen con
tribute their time for this worthy cause.
FIRST DROP IS GOOD TOO!
In 1,100 pages, and we don’t know how many
thousand well-chosen words, the Federal Trade Com
mission reports that high coffee prices are the result
of speculation, not of frosts, higher labor cost’s or any
of the several other alibis we’ve been hearing.
It may be a mere coincidence that coffee prices—
at the wholesale level—dropped the same day the re
port was announced. Or it could be that .people are
tapering off on the Swedish plasma.
But don’t get excited. The drop is about five cents
a pound on the price your grocer pays, and if he splits
with you, he’s a pretty big-hearted guy. Besides, he
may be stocked up on the old high-priced stuff for
some time to come. And some of the wholesalers think
it will go back up in the fall.
Still, it’s a move in the right direction.
A teacher’s college has come out with a report
that today’s children cry more and behave worse than
those of a generation ago. No wonder — those weren’t
children, they were us.

COMMUNICATION
To the Nome Nugget:
I read a notice in the paper that
the police are going to' shoot the
dogs again.
I wish they wouldn’t shoot the
dogs just because they run around.
Sometimes a pet is loose, like
Bananna, he’s a very nice dog and
wouldn’t hurt anyone but he isn’t
tied up and I am so worried he
may get shot.
If my dog Buddy got shot, I
would just die. Please ask the
police to call the owners before
they shoot the dogs. Thank you.
A dog’s friend,
Kathy Jackson.

Red China Will ‘Liberate’ Formosa,
Chou En-Lai Warns, and No U. S.
Interference Will Be Tolerated
TOKYO, (jW—Red China’s gov-'
ernment council has unanimously
endorsed Premier Chou En-Lai’s
call for the liberation of Formosa
and his warning that any who
interfere face “all the grave con
sequences . . Peiping Radio de
clared Friday.
The broadcast quoted Chou as
saying the conquest o'f Formosa
“is China’s own internal affair;
we will brook no foreign interfer
ence.”
Peiping made it clear the warn
ing was aimed at the United
States.
It was Chou’s first major pro
nouncement since returning from
the Geneva talks—and he pulled
no punches.
Throughout his long and fiery
speech there was one predomi
nant enemy—“United States ag
gressive circles.” The four words
were as one. Even Chiang Kai
Shek took second rating.
“The government of the Peo
ple’s Republic of China,” Chou
said, “once again declares that
Taiwan (Formosa) '.is inviolable
Chinese territory, that its occupa
tion by the United States abso
lutely cannot be tolerated . . . The
liberation of Taiwan is an exer
cise of China’s sovereignty and it
is Chinas own internal affair; we
will brook no foreign interference.
“Any treaties concluded be
tween the United States govern
ment and the traitorous Chiang
Kai-Shek group entrenched on
Taiwan would be illegal and with
out any validity whatever.
“If any foreign aggressors dare
to prevent the Chinese people
from liberating Taiwan, if they
dare infringe upon our sovereign
ty and violate our territorial in
tegrity, if they dare ' to interfere
in our internal affairs, they must
>
take upon themselves all the
grave consequences of such acts
of aggression.”
Washington officials tended to
shrug off Chou’s remarks as part
of tho Communist war of nerves
against the Nationalists.
The State Department declined
comment, but pointed out that
Secretary of State Dulles, at his
news conference two weeks ago,
said U.S. forces are committed to i
help the Nationalists if the Reds,
try to invade.
The island, about 100 miles off '
the China coast, has been under I
U.S. Naval protection since the
outbreak of the Korean War in j
1950. And Chou brought that fact
up time and again.
It was the first time Chou had
publically mentioned Formosa in
nearly four years, although his
subordinates have called fre
quenty for liberation of the island.
