Il told them that they could either
cash in the bonds right away for their
cash value or could keep them, and
explained that the longer they were

With the passing of the annual ThanksgivingDay celebration and the consuming of hundreds of pounds of turkey and other good things to eat, Nomeites went back to their regular occupations today with a real overstuffed feeling
 Signs of depression in Nome are about as scarce as snowballs in the proVerbial hot cellar. Ac- cording to the way Nomeites planned their Thanksgiving din- ners, nearly everyone had plenty to eat, and more besides.
 Prosperity, that around the cor ner Elysium, must be in the off, ing, for already it has been heard that many are planning for excep tionally fine Christmas celebra- tions and the New Year festival.
 Though the maritime strike on the coast is affecting other parts of Alaska, some in very serious way, Nome has no worry about receiving turkeys or holiday sup plies, or even equipment and ma- chinery for mining. All of Nome's supplies came in on the last boat in October, as well as everything needed by other towns and min- ing centers in different parts of the peninsula. So we're off to another month and then the Christmas and New Year hoi- days.
