THE 50th ROOF GARDEN
/"CONGRATULATIONS TO THE Pioneers of Alaska
as they plan to celebrate the 51st anniversary of
the organization with their 50th Roof Garden.
This is a big year for the Pioneers, who will need
the support of the whole community, as the founding
group here, Igloo No. 1, will 'be host for the meeting of
the Grand Igloo, early in the fall of 1959. A couple
hundred guests are expected, many coming back to
Nome with memories of the gold strike days, many
poming for the first time.
The Pioneers have worked toward Statehood ever
since they were organized, and for many other ad
vancements in the growth of the new State. It is most
fitting that the big celebration should be in Nome dur
ing Statehood year.
Funds from the Roof Garden this year will be
channeled into making the convention a most memor
ial occasion and benefiting the entire community.
WE’LL SEE YOU AT THE ROOF GARDEN !
The Postoffice — Heart Of Business
Business mail of all classes — first, sec
ond, third and fourth — is the force that, more
than any other, keeps the American economy in
motion.
Instructions, orders, invoices, payments, informa
tion on products and services and a myriad different
products themselves; magazines, books and news
papers — all flow through the mails in mountainous
quantity, and all contribute to our welfare, maintain
and expand our celebrated living standards and are
essential to meeting pay rolls, paying rent, buying
equipment, producing profits on investment.
As it has since Colonial days, the Post Office re
mains the great American community center. Far
more than the local communications headquarters, it
symbolizes the exchange of goods as well as ideas. It
is the bearer of gifts that brings families and friends
together on anniversaries* and birthdays and at Christ
mas time — no matter what the geographical separa
tion. It extends the merchant’s sphere of operations,
and gives both the cross-roads storekeeper and the
most remote customer the opportunity of shopping in
the markets of the nation — and the world at large.

Moscow Paper Says
Dulles Talks Like
Lilliputian Statesman
MOSCOW, Wi — Pravda today
likened U. S. Secretary of State
Dulles to a Lilliputian stateman.
The article in the Soviet Com
munist Party newspaper said
Dulles talks more than the tiny
speaker in Swift’s satire “’but his
outlook hardly surpasses the di
mensions of the Lilliputian states
man.”
Only one thing emerges clear
ly “from the anti-Communist shell
in which Dulles wraps all his
speeches — fear, fear before the
gigantic successes of the Soviet
Union, Communist China and
other people’s democracies,” the
article said.

Lodge Denounces
Present Russian
‘Reign Of Terror’
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y„ UP) —
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge
declared that a reign of terror,
carried out by Soviet agents, is
continuing in full force in Hun
gary despite U. N. efforts.
He called on the 81-nation gen- .
eral assembly to condemn the So
viet Union once more and to per
sist in trying to end the repressive
measures.
Lodge addressed the Assembly
as it opened a new round of de
bate on the Hungarian problem
which it took up first in an emer
gency session during the 1956
Hungarian uprising. .
Lodge himself blasted the .So
viet Union and the puppet Hun
garian regime for the execution
of former Premier Imre Nagy, Gen.
Paul Maleter and other leaders
of the uprising. He called their
execution “murder by judicial
disguise.”
“The Hungarian people must be
relieved of that scourge of ter
ror,” Lodge declared. “Of all our
aims with respect to Hungary,
that is the most urgent.”
Lodge formally submitted a 37
nation resolution calling on the
Soviet Union and the Red Hun
garian government to end repres
sion in the battered satellite. The
Assembly was expected to give
the proposal overwhelming ap
proval.
