FRATERNAL SPIRIT
(CONTRIBUTED)
Fraternal Spirit is one which places idealism and
love as a guiding star to direct the trail of - life; that
something which abhors selfishness and places service
above self.
In the growth of Nome we have enjoyed the bene
fits of many organizations dedicated to that spirit and
whose work in the community has restored strength
to the weak, supplied food to the hungry and preserved
the memory of those responsible for the building of
this last frontier.
The Loyal Order of Moose was active here for
many years but could not survive the conflagration
which destroyed a large part of our community in 1934.
Though it is now nearly 20 years since the Local
Lodge surrendered its charter and ceased to exist, the
Grand Lodge has recently subscribed a thousand dollars
to the Nome Cemetery Fund, demonstrating in a most
practical way that the Spirit of Fraternalism never dies.
Nome extends its sincere thanks and the Nugget
takes this opportunity of wishing continued success to
the Loyal Order of Moose in all of its endeavors.

Nome Delegation At CAB Hearing
Criticizes Present Double Carrier
Service As Costly To Merchants
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, UR—'The ’
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
asked the Civil Aeronautics Board
Wednesday to allow airlines al
ready operating on routes wholly
within Alaska and on routes be
tween Alaska and States to keep
both.
The chamber’s stand was an
nounced by Robert Atwood, chair
man of its Aviation ComiAittee, as
the final witness at a three-day
CAB hearing on the whole pattern
of Alaska air service.
In another final day devel
opment, Kodiak representatives
challenged Anchorage’s claim to
being the “air transportation hub
of the territory” and contended
Kodiak, 150 miles closer to the
Great Circle route, should be pre
ferred to Anchorage as a stop
point on the flight route to the
Orient.
Atwood, in a statement “to clar
ify testimony presented Wednes
day,” declared:
“Services within Alaska can be
divided into two categories: ser
vice operated by carriers that also
hold or seek to hold routes con
necting Alaska and the States and
those operated by carriers whose
routes are entirely within the ter
ritory.
“The chamber believes there is'
a place in Alaska for both types
and is desirous of seeing both pro
tected, and neither curtailed.”
In response to an inquiry, At
wood interpreted the statement to
mean the chamber board is op
posed to a proposal to limit air
lines to one type of route. He said
the board vote was unanimous.
The chamber already is on rec
ord for a third carrier to Anchor
age, with Portland as one south
ern terminus on a common rating
with Seattle.
Criticism from Nome
The Nome delegation criticized
the present double carrier service
to that city, declaring that irregu
lar connections are costly to Nome
merchants and frequently caused
hardships to the people.
Phillip Anderson, president of
Army Secretary Stevens
Says New Atomic Cannon
Spurs Defense Ability
SAN DIEGO, li¥)—Secretary of
the Army Robert T. Stevens said
Thursday the new atomic cannon
“will greatly enhance our defen
sive capabilities, which is why we
have shipped some of them to
Europe.”
Stevens said in his prepared
discussion of the 280-millimeter
cannon and other new weapons:
“Ultimately, as Army guided
missiles are perfected, they too
will aid in deliyering fissionable
materials (atomic explosives) or
conventional explosives in close
support of Army ground forces.
“The important thing is that we
have the gun now, and can give
our field commanders the capa
bility of using atomic explosives
safely and accurately in darkness
or in any kind of weather, if it
should become necessary to do so.
“The antiaircraft defenses of
our great cities and industrial cen
ters, prime targets for enemy
atomic attack, have been mater
ially strengthened in many ways,
including the equipping of some
battalions with the new electron
ically controlled Skysweeper (a
75-millimeter gun).”
Inventory Blanks at Nome Nugget
the Fairbanks Chamber of Com
merce, testified, however, that
continued competition between
airlines is of vital importance to
proper service. He said service to
Fairbanks had been poor until
Alaska Airlines was certificated
in addition to Pan American.
Fairbanks Wants Competition
He told the board Fairbanks
businessmen want competitive
service because areas in the 3,000
square-mile region around Fair
banks have no other transporta
tion except by air in winter.
“Non-skeds started the busi
ness, then the scheduled lines took
over. It is our feeling now that if
they can’t provide proper service,
let the non-skeds do it,” Anderson
said.
The CAB set Nov. 16 as the
deadline for submitted rebuttal
briefs. A hearing is scheduled in
Washington Nov. 30.
