DYING ON THE LAUNCHING PAD —WE HOPE
WELCOME, FAIRBANKS C OF C!
NOME WELCOMES its neighbors from Fairbanks
tomorrow,, who are coming to stay overnight, to
get better acquainted, to meet people who are in the
same businesses in which they are interested, and to
learn what they can of the problems of the inhabitants
along the Far West Coast of Alaska.
More than forty guests are expected in the group,
people who are quite as interested as we are in seeing
a priority rating given to Highway 97, because its
completion will mean increased business for Fairbanks
as well as for Nome.
Completion of the road to Nome is only-one of the
major problems confronting the northern half of the
new State. Second Division and the Fourth Divi
sion business leaders must co-operate and work to
gether in the planning of a bright future for this area.
This can be accomplished only when people will make
an effort to kndw one another better.
Last year the business people of Nome were
accorded a warm welcome as visitors in Fairbanks,
made many friends and became acquainted with asso
ciates in business. Now we welcome the opportunity
to reciprocate.
We offer a hearly WELCOME TO NOME, for
our visitors from Fairoanks!

sensible and well-meaning and far-sighted heads of the
bigger labor organizations in this country are begin
ning to realize, where the periodic labor strikes, and
always resultapt wage and fringe benefits hikes are
leading this country. They are killing the goose that
lays the golden eggs. . . . Natural results is an influx of
cars and other manufactured products from other
countries.”
Bedford, Ind., Daily Times-iyiail: “No person ever got
very far in the world without helping himself. . . . That
is just as true of nations. What Latin-America needs
is some hard-headed talk about living within its in

banker when you have overdrawn your account for
the third time.” _,

Next Time This G-I
Will Fly By Train!
HONOLULU, — A passenger
aboard a four-engine Military Air
Transport Service plane which
limped into Oahu Monday with
two dead engines says the air
craft had the same trouble before.
The Superconstellation landed
safely with 33 passengers and 10
crewmen at Hickam Air Force
base after a ten-hour flight from
Wake Island. Two engines were
out and a- third was going out
when the plane was 200 miles west
of Honolulu.
Sgt. John F. Woods, a passen
ger from Ironton, Ohio, said the
same thing happened when the
plane was going to Wake two
days ago.
“The same two engines went
out.” He added, “We spent a day
on Wake while they worked on
them. It took us seven hours to
get out of Tachikawa in Japan
because of maintenance on the
bum engines.
“When I get to Travis (northeast
of San Francisco) I’m going to
take a train home.”
