To The Editor
Kobuk, Alaska
Sept. 29
Nome Nugget:
I have read in Anchorage News
that U.S. and Russians going to
use Nome for air base in 1957
and mapping or study North Pole
Arctic.
So I am one of the Alaskans
born here and raised here, and
1 don't want Russians study our
land and all the Army camps up
here. We have National Guard in
Alaska to keep Russians away.
And our leaders in U.S. America
taught us to keep Russians away,
but still look like they made
agreement to use Nome for base
between Russia and Alaska.
I don’t understand why U. S.
going to let Russians study Arctic.
Something wrong somewhere.
And I heard thru radio Dele
gate to Congress Bob Bartlett is
against it so I am with Bob Bart
lett. We Alaskans don’t want Rus
sians come to Alaska. I am Re
publican but 1 will vote Bob Bart
lett because he is with us. He is
against Russians.
Please print this for us Alas
kans. Thank you.
I am an American.

Canada Clears
Antibiotic to Cut
Fish Spoilage
NEW YORK, tP —The Ameri
can Cyanamid Co. reported today
the Canadian government has
cleared the use of its antibiotic
“Acronize” process to cut spoil
age in Canada's 25 million dollar
fish industry.
The process, which involves use
of small quantities of aureomycin,
an antibiotic, has already been
approved in the United States for
use on poultry. Other formulas
are now being developed for use
on red meat and other perishable
foods.
American Cyanamid said the
process cleared by Canadian of
ficials requires the addition of
only 4.5 grams of Acronize to
water that will be frozen Into 300
pounds of ice. The company said
cost would amount to about two!
dollars per ton of ice.
The Acronize process makes it
possible to keep fish fresh at least
a week longer than ordinary re
frigeration, American Cyanamid
said. It will be made available to
the Canadian fishing industry
immediately, the company said,
but only through a franchise ar
rangement requiring strict sani
tary standards.
The company said it set high
standards "to ensure top quality
for Acronized products and to eli
minate the chance that Acronize
might be used as a substitute for
sound and sanitary processing.

MONTREAL, i/Pi—A 61-year-old
Dutch grandmother arrived pen
niless Tuesday from Europe but
confident she can reach Alaska,
via New York to visit her mar
ried daughter.
Lack of money has never both
ered her, Mrs. Henrietta Marsh
man told reporters. A widow
since 1929, she said she had
worked as a nurse and sold candy
on the French Riviera among
other things to raise four children
in Amsterdam.
“I have been in most countries
in Europe and through the Ger
man occupation in Holland,” she
declared. “I always manage some
how.”
Mrs. Marshman is staying with
an order of Roman Catholic nuns.
She said she hoped contacts she
has in New York will help her
along her way or that her dau
ghter, Mrs. Jerome Agre of An
chorage, will send her money.
The woman said she had bud
geted only for a one-way ticket
but discovered she needed round
trip passage to get a U.S. visa.
She said she came ahead rather
than wait to save more money.
The captain of the passenger
liner Groote Beer, which brought
her here, recommended her as “a
woman over 60, alone, no money,
but courage and energy aplenty."

NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK
This is National Newspaper Week, which has as
it’s slogan this year, “Freedom’s Key to Better Living.”
In this country the concepts of a free press and a
free society developed together. Because it is free the
American newspaper has been able to broaden its
activities and meet new demands as the nation has
grown.
The advertiser promotes his products in a field
of open competition. The more he advertises the more
he sells and the more he sells, the lower he can reduce
prices. Our nation’s business system is built on moving
goods and newspapers are helping to move goods, to
create jobs, to build prosperity for Americans.
The Nugget is one of the few tri-weekly papers
giving national news coverage. This closeness to all
the arteries of the American stream of governmental
life makes our most important leaders as real and
clear as our next door neighbor. We call our president
“Ike” because we know him that well, thanks to the
press that makes the government OUR government.
And on the relaxation side your newspaper keeps
you informed on the theater, radio and TV entertain
ment.
Americans believe that better living means being
able to censure or praise as one sees fit, without fear
of recrimination. Your newspapers solidify that right
every day—not just for themselves—but for all.
Your newspaper is indeed “Freedom’s Key to
Better Living.”
An American and a Dutchman were talking.
“What does your flag look like?” asked the American.
“It has three stripes,” replied the Dutchman, “red,
white and blue. We say they have a connection with
» our taxes: we get red when we talk about them, white
when we get our tax bills, and pay ’till we’re blue in
the face.” “That’s just how it is here,” commented
the American, “only we see stars too.”
—Childress, Texas, Reporter
West Grove (Pa.) Independent: “ ... If we could
only earn 1956 wages, pay 1926 prices and 1916 taxes,
we would be sitting pretty.”
