(. of C. Luncheon

The regular tWice-1nonthly lun- cheon of the NV. Alaska Cham Der of Commerce was held at the Nevada Grill at noon Tuesday with one of the largest attend ance present.
 Postmaster Guy E. Mish acted as chairman and called upon seV- eral of the guests present for re- marks.
 Alfred J. Lomen, who returned recently from the States had seV eral interesting statements to make concerning the obtaining of funds to reconstruct the Nome Jetties, destroyed in last falls gigantic storm. He further drew attention to the increased interest in Chamber affairs, this past win ter.
 Joe Harnish, Nome agent for the Alaska Line. explained the necessity of routing the Steame rColumbia, due to arrive Nome from Seattle Thursday, via Col ovin and St. Michael to Seattle, not making a return call at Nome, as being due to the fast schedule set for the ship. The Columbia is due to sail on the Inside Pass age route Ito Juneau and Seward June 25th from Seattle-making it necessary to dispatch it from Nome with the greatest possible speed. Other sailings, however MT. Harnish pointed out, would be along regular schedules.
 Sam Godfrey, weter an miner & operator of the Kougarok and other mining sections of Alaska
The Nome nugget., 1938-06-08

spoke at great length on the nee essity for combined support for single route into th2 Kougarok section back of Nome some 30 miles. He pointed out that at pre- sent there are about five different ways in which freight and mach inery are going into that section, at enormous costs. Thru cooper ation of Kougarokers and Nome ites, he said, he felt certain that the present railroad highway route would be continued by the government into the Kougarok proper-but without this action, the Kougarok might possibly be forczd to get along without any practical arterial with the coast.
 Mir Godfrey listed approximate freight shipments into the Kou- garok during the last three years: 1886, 500 tons; 1887, $50 tons; and this year he believed a conserVa- tive estimate placed the ship ments to be made at 2350 tons, showing that this section is justly entitled to cooperativa attention and development.
 Edward Maurer, a member of the Wien Alaska Airways office force from the Fairbanks office, complimented Nome on its ex- cellent airport and runway, stat ing that it was a pleasure to land in a plane as passenger on this field. He further declared it was a pleasure to attend such live wire luncheon as the Chamber was putting on.

THANKSGIVING DAY

Thanksgiving Day, as we know it, is
"a distinctively American institution, al
though festivals of similar import may be
traced back many hundreds of years. The
Hebrew Feast of the Tabernacles, the
Greek Thesmophoria, the Roman Cerealia
and the English Harvest Home all appear
to have had something in common with
our national holiday.
Immediately after the first harvest of
the Pilgrims in 1921 Thanksgiving was
first observed in America. Similar observ-
ances were instituted by other colonies
by Massachusetts in 1880, by Connecticut
in 1889, and by New Netherlands in 1914.
During the Revolution several Thanksgiv-
ing Days were appointed by the Continen-
tai Congress.
President George Washington desig-
mated November &c, 1889, as "a day of
public thanksgiving and prayer" and in
1895 he made similar designation. Pres
ident Madison appointed day of thanks
giving at the close of the War of 1912.
Various states observed the day irregularly
during succeeding years. but it was not
until 1864 that the day became a fixed
annual event.
In that year President Lincoln APP
pointed the fourth Thursday of November
as a day of national Thanksgiving by of
fetal proclamation, and the example thus
set has been followed by all succeeding
Presidents
Washington's original Thanksgiving
proclamation is preserved in the Library
of Congress. The precious document was
lost for more than 100 years. until it was
discovered among some Washington manu-
scripts being auctioned in New York in
1921. when it was purchased for $500 and
restored TO the government archives.

LAW FOR THE LADIEC
ETHEL ERNEST MURRELL
o NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Womans' Bureau of the
United States Department of
Labor characterizes laws which
discriminate against married wo-
men in the field of economics as
unjust and unsound."
Scientific Investigations" re-
ports the Bureau, "show that the
majority of married women
work because their wages are
needed to support the family, or
supplement the husbands made
quate wages"
If this is true, what hardship
it must work to dismiss valued
employee, simply because she is
married.
To have husband and to
have children is good and
natural ambition.
The nation that discriminates
against marriage will certainly
pay a heavy penalty.
1t is hard thing that women
must confront the question whe-
Their as citizens of the United
States. they are to be free as
other citizens are free, even
though married, or whether or
not they are to continue in eco
nomic bondage.
Every woman who marrieS in
the State of Florida automatically
becomes a chattel, bound eco
nomically and legally as firmly
as though she actually donned
handouts at the altar.
We are going to change that in
the coming legislature. We must
remain alert to refuse these fur
Their economic determinations
which are sweeping the nation,

COL. FULCENCIO BATISTA

Col. Fulgenco Batista, chief of the
Cuban army, left Key West this morning
after an 18-hour visit in which he captured
the hearts of every Cuban-American and
won the admiration and respect of all who
came in contact with him or stood within
the sound of his voice. In leaving, Col,
Batista expressed regret he could not stay
longer to enjoy the hospitality of the citi-
zens of this city and received the assur-
ances of Mayor Willard M. Albury that it
was with regret Key Westers saw him de-
part.
In his public appearances, and they
were as frequent as demanded by the pro-
gram arranged for his reception and enter
tainment, Col Batista displayed none of
the characteristics identified with the
movements of dictatOr-a role he en-
phatically refuses to fill. He was modestly
dressed in civilian clothing, he was modest
and self-effacing except when he was
actually compelled to occupy the center of
the stage and he was responsive and quick
in his greetings and his handclaspings. He
impressed Key Westers as being friendly,
understanding and charming personality.
Indicative of Col. Batista's responsive
ness and ready sympathy was his imme-
date reaction to news that Patrolman Bien-
venido Ferez had been thrown from his
motorcycle at Marathon and seriously in-
jured. The second he got word of the &C
cident, COL Batista dispatched his personal
physician to the scene to render whatever
aid might be possible. Later when he
heard Patrolman Perez had been brought
to local hospital, the Cuban army chief
broke away from a reception at Casa
Marina to go to the bedside of the injured
man. That little act touched the hearts of
Key Westers and is likely never to be for
gotten here.
Visit of Col. Batista will be memoir
able occasion for many groups, particular
ly San Carlos Institute and the Cuban club.
From the balcony of San Carlos, Col.
Batista said, in part:
II have seen the monuments erected
in the city of Key West clarifying the
memory of the heroes who fought for the
liberation and betterment of the Cuban
people. My purpose in making the trip
here is to see what can be done for better
ment of those and their descendants who
aided us in our fight for liberty prior to
and during the Spanish-American war;
That statement may portend further
contribution by the Cuban government for
maintenance and support of San Carlos In
stitute which is an important part of the
educational facilities of Key West. How
ever, Col. Batista did not directly indicate
that he had such plan in mind, but the
people of Key West hope for the best along
that line. We do not believe Col. Batista
will forget Key West-most certainly Key
West will not forget Col. Ratista.
