SUPPORT NOME MERCHANTS
In this ussue of The Nome Nugget are to be found
the advertisements of many Nome merchants. These
merchants are, through the medium of our paper, ask
ing for your support.
We all realize that thousands of dollars go out of
the Second Division every year which should and could
be spent in our community. It behooves all thinking
people to consider this matter and keep as much of our
money at home as possible.
The idea that the slogan, “Trade at Home,” is the
despairing cry of a dying community is absurd, al
though there are some citizens who classify it thus.
Town-boosting is an art practiced by those live, wide
awake communities, made so by citizens who believe
in their town and support their merchants.
When you buy here, thereby creating a larger de
mand, local merchants will be able to increase their
stocks, thus offering a larger variety which can com
pete with some of the stores in the larger cities. They
cannot do this, however, until they have some assurance
of general local support.
We call attention to the fact that a community, like
an individual, cannot spend its money and keep it too,
but a community made up of many people who spend
that money time and time again, among its own people.
An Enviable Record
Ben Mozee, U.S. Marshal here since November of
1934, is being retired after 20 years of service in this
important law enforcement position. He leave an envi
able record that will be hard to duplicate.
An Alaskan by choice since 1909 gave him a back
ground of clerk, teacher, prospector, and fur buyer,
which furnished valuable material in understanding
the people who live in this part of the territory. His
work with the ANS, the Alaska reindeer service, and
the Alaska Road Commission brought him close to
many types of the more nomadic and primitive peoples
whom he studied and with whom he worked, winning
their respfect, friendship and confidence.
His many years’ experience is valuable and it is
hoped he will remain in Alaska, with Nome his perman
ent home, and help it grow.

Eisenhower Proposes Two New
Atoms-for-Peace Plans; U.S. Would
Pay Half; Appeals to Russia for Pool
..————
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., (£>—
President Eisenhower proposed
Saturday that the United States
provide nuclear materials, money
and “know how” to help other
free nations obtain atomic power
and research reactors.
Outlining two new atoms-for
peace programs in a major ad
dress at Pennsylvania State Uni
versity’s centennial commence
ment exercises, the President
suggested this country pay half
the cost of the research reactors.
He also sounded a new appeal
to Russia to join in creation of an
international atomic pool for
peaceful purposes—a program he
first set forth in 1953 and so far
cold-shouldered by the Soviet
Union. This time he seemed to be
making the appeal to the Russian
people rather than to what he
called their Communist over
lords.”
As for the two new programs,
Eisenhower said:
“Our purpose is to spark the
creative and inventive skills la
tent in the free world, to put them
to work for the betterment of
conditions under which men must
live.”
The skies were murky and a
misty rain fell on the crowd of
about 20,000 persons
Eisenhower himself was pro
tected from the weather by a can
opy over the flag-draped stand.
On the platform with the Chief
Executive was his youngest broth
er, Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower,
Penn State president. Just before
he spoke the President received
an honorary doctor of laws de
gree from his brother, who then
introduced the President as “a re
cent alumnus of this university.”
The President announced he
will submit his two new programs
to Congress for approval “in the
conviction that they reflect the
spirit and intent of law and of the
American people.” He outlined
the plans this way:
“First: We proposed to offer
research reactors to the people of
the free nations who can use them
effectively for the acquisition of
skills and understanding essential
to peaceful atomic progress.
“The United States, in the spir
it of the partnership that moves
us, will contribute half the cost.
We will also furnish the acquiring
nation the nuclear material need
ed to fuel the reactor.
“Second: Within prudent secur
ity considerations, we propose to
make available to the peoples of
such friendly nations as are pre
pared to invest their own funds
in power reactors, access to and
training in the technological proc
esses of^ construction and opera
tion for peaceful purposes.”
The President gave no estimate
of the cost of the program, but he
said it will be “small indeed when
measured against the certain re
turns, tangible and intangible.”

Man Swallows 12 Snails,
Slimy Kind, That Is,
Rather Than His Pride
PORTHCAWL, Wales, (£V—It
may sound crazy to the French
but George Loughlin is in trouble
for eating snails.
George, 45-year-old newstand
operator, sat in his club extolling
the snail as a tasty dish.
“I could eat a dozen right now,”
he told his cronies.
A fellow clubman walked out
into the garden, brought back a
dozen snails and said: “Eat them.”
There’s a world of difference
between a slimy British garden
snail and the fine fat snails that
Frenchmen eat. But for George it
was a point of honor. Rather than
swallow his pride, he swallowed
I the snails—and apparently en
| joyed them.
Not so the committee of Porth
cawl’s United Services Club. They
suspended George three months
“for causing consternation.”
