1960 RESOLUTIONS
AMONG THOS^ RESOLUTIONS you are about to
make, there should be some thought in the mind
of every Nomeite for community service.
Everyone should endeavor in his own way to
make Nome a 'better place in which to live. If each
person gave a little of his time, the burden would not
rest upon a few.
The Chamber of Commerce and other service
organizations would welcome not only persons willing
to give of their time, but of their talents. Hard work
on their part has made Nome the most popular con
vention city in the State. They need help in many
ways. Hospitality and good will has brought visitors
to our doors. Now is the time to make those doors
more attractive. Start planning the transplanting of
evergreens and wildflowers throughout the city. If
enough people have the civic pride to make their homes
more attractive, there will be less destruction, as civic
pride generated in the home will result in children
enjoying the natural beauty around them.
It should be the resolution of every Nomeite to
make it a personal pledge to do what they can to
support any action for the installation of water and
sewage throughout the community.
Every organization should take some action to sup
port our Senators in Washington on the international
project of the dam on the Bering Straits, which could
result in a? revolution of the economic conditions in
Northwestern Alaska, as well as to. be alert to every.
development in the road building program, which
could unite us with the rest of North America.
There is a lot to be done in 1960. It will be a good
year — If EVERYBODY helps!_
An Old-Fashioned Idea
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER, says Newsweek Mag
azine is going to ask Congress to create a super
Cabinet post, and the title “The First Secretary of
Government.” The occupant would rank with the
' world’s Prime Ministers, could attend summits, “over
see the State Deartment, the foreign aid program, and
the international operations of a dozen different U. S.
departments and agencies.” He could even give Con
gress what-for. . . . However, we don’t see what’s
^rong with the old-fashioned idea of electing him —
and still calling him “President.”
