Communication From —
Save Our Prince
Committee
WHEREAS: It has come to the
attention of some of us that our
fair city is faced with a civic
calamity with which the fire of
1934 and the 1913 storm are mere
detais, we feel we must take
this opportunity to rouse the pop
ulace from its apparent lethargic
somnolence.
To Wit: One of Nome’s greatest
assets, beside which the Taj
Mahal, the Matterhorn, Niagara
and the Empire State Building are
as of no consequence, is faced
with certain destruction unless all
act and with promptness and dis
patch.
Item: One magnificent example
of Equine Majesty, one brown
horse of unqjrtain age but high
pedigree named “Prince” will be
killed for dog food ere this coming
winter has passed because of the
failure of certain feed houses out
side to ship his winter’s hay on
the last boat as they were di
rected.
Item: The loss of this noble
beast would have far - reaching
consequences of the direst sort,
only a few of which we will men
tion here for the benefit of any in
sensitive persons whose imagina
tions are so inhibited or whose
hearts are so hardened as to not
be cognizant with the dangers we
are facing should Prince become
a martyr to civic neglect.
1. This city, the first and fair
est of the Bering Sea would in
stantly revert to a subordinate po
sition among the other metropoli
tan areas of the world, becoming
a municipality without a horse,
i.e. “a one-horse town” no longer.
2. Countless children <yf the far
northern outposts of Kotzebue,
King Island, Diomede, would be
deprived of their priceless heri- j
tage of when first in Nome, gaz- j
ing in awe upon the only horse j
available.
3. Those of us who have en
joyed the ingratiating manner j
and affectionate air with which !
Prince has been able to insinuate !
himself into our back caches, j
would be forever bereft of the
pleasure of his loving caresses
(and nips). f
4. Horticulturalists of Nome!
Do yon realize that the priceless
ingredient of the soil of every
greenhouse in Nome, without
which no flower or plant can
flourish, will become unavailable
upon Prince’s demise? Consider
also, that this estimable by-pro
duct has at times been packaged
and shipped to communities with
out benefit of the society of a
horse, even as far as Kotzebue,
and Nome has come to be de
pended upon and greatly revered
as an inexhaustible source of this
most necessary adjunct of soil
husbandry. Will we let down the
flower-lOvers of the Arctic?
However, the remedy is at
hand. Certain public-spirited hu
manitarians have stepped into the
breach and acted. A fund is grow
ing to insure Prince a supply of
airborne hay for the winter and
avert this crisis. Act Now! Leave
your contribution at the ANS of
fice, a record will be kept and
published from time to time. ACT
NOW! Save Nome from losing her
status as “a one-horse town.”

“THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS”
The following interesting item
Is taken from Seattle P.I. of Sept. 30, 1952:
TWENTY YEARS AGO
September 30, 1932
“Mayor John F. Dore applies to Recon
struction Finance Corporation for $7,191,000
City Light and Water Loans to provide work
for unemployed.”
This was under the benevolent Republican
administration of 6ne Herbert Hoover.
Are these the “GOOD OLD DAYS” that the
Republican Party of Alaska asks to people to
return to?
