T'oday's Horoscope
Travellers Saisfs Ssrvies

Today's native is too fond of
sensation and may become quite
in the pursuit of pleasure.
There is indication of some sue
cess in early life, but the latter
days seem cloudy, and there is
danger that the mind may become
devoted to chasing futile things.
Care should be exerted to set the
mind in a steady groove, to avoid,
as far as possible, these adverse
conditions.

70 Percent Fund Used Locally to
 Help Children

The Warm Springs Georgia Foundation devoted to the cure of infantile paralysis is close to heart of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, for he became victim of that dread disease when a young man, and has since recov- cred from its effects to a remark able degree. Annually the Pres ident has allowed his birthday to be used as the occasion for the staging of Birthday Balls thru out the United States, the funds derived from which go to a com mittee which is turn finances the research by the most eminent scientist in the country, into the cause of infantile paralysis and means for it's cure. Besides this thousands of children are being discovered who require treat ment at Warm Springs, Georgia, where other nationally promin- ent physicians are returning them to normal, useful lives.
 Some sections of the country, such as Nome, for instance, has little or no signs of infantile para lysis amongst its children, yet the public here is called upon to assist in this great work by donating 30 per cent of fund raised, the other 70 per cent of which remains in this particular locality. Here it is devoted to useful purpose through the re- lief of needy children, by medi- cal attention, of one kind or an- other.
 Infantile paralysis is still one of the greatest tragedies to be- fall a child, and the nation thru repeated interest in Roosevelt Birthday Celebrations, has be- come increasingly conscious of it's danger.

 Drive Members

With the adoption of the new amendment to the Pioneer laws wherein any one arriving in AL aska before 1910 is eligible to membership, the local Igloo No. 1 Pioneers of Alaska, the mother Igloo, launched a mammoth mem bership drive at the last meeting of the organization. this week.
 A large committee has been selected from the membership roll and each name drawn one by one dividing it in two sides which has been named the Illus kies" and the "Malamutes".
 When the names were drawn it was discovered that President A. Bahlke and First Vice-President Ole Hay were drawn on the op. posite sides, therefore, both were named leaders of their respective sides.
 The scoring of the contest will be in the hands of the Secretary, who is not a member of either team. The secretary shall keep records of the standing of the contest and report it at every meeting and have same publish ed in the Nome Nugget after each meeting.
 It is hoped that this contest will result in large gains in member ship and finances, so that it will enable the mother Igloo, to erect a new home for the Pioneers in Nome.
 To be enrolled with the Pio' neers of Alaska, especially Nome Igloo No. l, is undoubtedly a dis tinction and an honor, there is numbered among the membership the real pioneers who blazed the trail and laid the foundation for this great northland.
