New Airport Terminal Needed
What has happened to the plans for the new airport
building which were proposed earlier this year?
The project was a self-supporting investment,
recommended by the airlines, who would like offices
in the building, as well as the U.S. Weather Bureau
and the C.A*A.
We don’t know just where the trouble lies, but
anyone can see that with air traffic our only avenue
in and out Of Nome for passengers, a more commodious
and convenient building is necessary at the airport.
If visitors are to get a good first impression of the
community, a modern building is imperative. When
it won’t cost anything, as it will be self-sustaining
investment, it seems that the City Council and the
Chamber of Commerce should have an active commit- j
tee to get action immediately so that construction can'
start next year.
For many years, far-sighted Nome business people
have been looking to the day when an air route through
Nome to Russia would be feasible. Maybe that day is
not too far in the future. We we be ready for increased
activity at Nome Field?
A modern airport will mean several full-time
positions of permanent nature for people in the com
munity which is an important factor in the growth
and development of Nome.
One of the best Christmas gifts you can buy is a
year-’round gift. It calls for no hurried, crowded shop
ping, no trip to the post office to mail, no wrapping
for mail.
The gift is a subscription to the Nugget. It will
reach friends three times a week, every week of the
year, or 156 times, and each time the donar will be
remembered.

Stevenson Speakaj;
On Freedom
Versus Security
CHICAGO, rn—'The United
States, says Adlai Stevenson, must
guard freedom, more than ever in
the race to catch up with the Rus
sians in technological superiority.
“In a headlong rush for nation
al security we must not trample
on freedom,” Stevenson said in a
speech Monday. “The threat to
freedom which I sense today is
nothing very concrete. It is pim
ply a vague, widely held .feeling
that perhaps we must choose be
tween freedom and survival, and
that obviously the choice must be
survival.”
He added: “No such choice con
fronts us. T say the choice is
among various: national policies
to ensure national survival—and
that as respects freedom' we have
no other choice at all but to main
tain it more vigilantly and vigor
ously than ever.’*
Stevenson, who spoke before
the American Civil Liberties Un
ion, referred to the NATO meet
ings in Paris and outlined his
goals for the United States:
“First catch up in the techno
logical race; then, in order to help
us export freedom around the
world, to devise bold new pro
grams to meet the rising wants
of the poor in the house of the
world. And always to stand guard
on the Bill of Rights.”
