Sees Many Changes In 18 Years
Mildred Maynard, court report
er for Judge Walter Hodge, who
is on her first visit here since
leaving 18 years ago, has enjoyed
seeing many things which were
not possible for the average per

were no roads then. Such places
as Salmon Lake, Penny River,
Solomon and beyond on the Coun

sence of so many years was
really quite amazing to the for
I mer Nome-born resident.

TUESDAY NIGHT—8 P.M.
CITY HALL
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To all mothers and others who
want safety for our children:
During the last few days I have
personally come to see and talk
with as many of you as were
home, about the problem of keep
ing our children away from fires
To those of you who did not see
me. I was there — but you were
out, because I went from King
Island Village to the Sandspit, the
ACS area to the FAA area. I
never realized before how many
homes there are in Nome!
I would like to ask all of you
to keep your children away from
fires, by setting them a good ex
ample and staying out of the
way yourselves.
A hearty thank-you to all of
you who so willingly and gladly
signed the petition to the City
Council, about safety at fires, and
then thanked me for asking you
to sign. More than 200 women
wanted this done. It was so satis
fying to meet and talk with all
of you and again I repeat:
Keep the children away from
fires. Don’t make our Volunteer
Firemen fight our children and
fires at the same time.
— Betty Doyle.
