Came Up Quick

Beyond doubt the worst storm on Boring Sea to strike Nome since the tidal wave of 1913 when ninety percent of the business & residential district along Front Street was completely wiped out by the waves. occurred yesterday afternoon and last night, when business houses the length of new Front Street, twenty or more feet further removed from the sea than in 1913, were seriously un- dermined by the sea, and all of the East end of town, beyond the Lomen docks and power plant, on the south side was practically destroyed.
 Beginning early last evening, the waves commenced hammer ing away at bulkheads and build ings, sluicing the sand away from the foundations and jeopardizing g the structures.

 Damages Suffered
 Most serious effect of the storm last night took action in the vic inity of the Lincoln Hotel the homes of Ben Gillette and Hugh O'Farrell and families, and the mercantile store of Ira RankHow ever, all but the Lincoln Hotel came through practically unscath ed. The hotel, operated by Mrs. Jack Devine, was undermined more than half its length by the seas, the entire stock of beer of the dispensary and the health g plant destroyed, and still the building itself remains in a dan gerous position.
 Other buildings up toward the Fire Station were in danger o1 being washed out and more thar a hundred men participated 1T building temporary bulkhead: during most of the night.
 The Old Nome Spirit
 Much credit goes to those who voluntarily turned out and did al they could to rescue belonging: and property before they disap, peared into the sea. The U. s Smelting Refining and Mining Co under the management of A, M Hartford turned out in force with many motor trucks which did ex- cellent work in assisting people to move from positions at the East end of town, and also trans ported material for construction purposes during the night.
 In fact the general attitude of the people of Nome, newcomers and sourdoughs alike, was one of cooperation and whatever may be said of Nome, there is no other town where you can see the de- gree of loss and hardship exper- fenced by the citizens, sustained without murmur or cry and with the will to reconstruct. Let's give everyone who turned out big hand. It's the old Nome spirit.

FIERCE FIGHT IS
 RAGING IN SPAIN

Hendaye, French-Spanish From tier, July 8.-(UP)-Spanish ma tionalist and Loyalist troops are fighting one of the big battles of the civil war in the Madrid area, National sources said today.
 Nationalist authorities at Avila general headquarters for the area, told a United Press correspondent that the Loyalists were conducting the strongest offensive they had made in the entire war.
 According to the Nationalists Loyalist casualties have totalled more than 5000 in a8 hours and 1t was asserted the Loyalists had five planes crippled yesterday-one shot down, the others forced to limp away perhaps to crash. N.tion- alists claimed control of the air using big squadrons of planes.
 Loyalist authorities almost sealed Madrid SO far as news went. Cen. sors at Madrid, usually most lib- eral, permitted only the most frag- mentary connmuniques issued by the general staff to reach the world during their drive. But their com muniques mentioned territory gained and prisoners and war material taken.

employed worker in contact with an employer who may need an employe of his type, and will assure him of expert assistance in the dis- couraging task of looking for job.
 Registration with the employment service also assures that the unem- ployed worker who draws benefits is Willing and able to work" and pre- vents an undue drain on the fund by maligners. Under the Connecti- cut Act, unemployed workers must apply to the employment offices for benefits, and all benefit payments will be made through these offices. Consequently, a high degree of CO., operation is necessary between the Unemployment Compensation Divis- ion and the Connecticut State Employment Service. To insure this cooperation, the General Assembly included in the Unemployment Com pensation Act section which states that, after July of this year, the two divisions of the Labor depart ment concerned with unemployment shall be brought together under one head. This means that, beginning next month, the Unemployment Compensation Division and the Connecticut State Employment Ser vice will be united as two branches of the same section of the Labor department.
 More Offices Expected
 One of the first problems to be solved by the Labor Department after this union of the Unemploy- ment Compensation Division and the Connecticut State Employment Service, is the possibility of enlarg- ing the latter branch to provide more convenient service to individ- uals; in other words, to increase the number of offices so that there will be a place to register for work and a place to draw benefits within at least ten miles of every worker in the state. At present, there are ten main employment offices main- tained in the larger cities of the state and four branch offices in the smaller cities.
 When this union of the Unem- ployment Compensation Division and the Employment Service has taken effect, Connecticut will have consolidated its defenses against fu- ture unemployment problems. Un- employment compensation will be concerned with easing the suffering caused by unemployment, and the employment service will be con- cerned with stopping unemployment by finding work for the unemployed.
