Cornerstone To
 Be Layed 2 PM
 Nome Fed. Bid E,

Tomorrow will mark the date of one of the most important ceremonies in Nome in recent years-the laying of the corner stone of the new federal build ing now under construction. This building, when computed will stand out as the most prominent and impressive structure in our city, and the people of Nome and Northwestern Alaska can justly feel proud of it.
 It is particularly appropriate that Anthony J. Dimond, our delegate to Congress, should be able to play an important part in the corner stone laying, as the funds which made the conStruc- tion of the building possible were secured strongly through his ef- forts at Washington.
 It is unfortunate that the U. s. Gutter Northland could not par ticipate in the ceremony, as the presence of uniformed men repre- senting the government would add much to the impressiveness of the ceremony.
 By proclamation of Mayor AL yin Polet, stores and places of business will be suitably decorat- ed, and will r:main closed dur ing the ceremony. The scrolls which will be sealed up in the corner stone are being circulated by Jack Starr, and there is also on2 in the poSt-office. Everyone is urged to make a special effort to sign at least one of these, so that there may complete record of Nome's citizenry.
 In case of rain, the main pro- gram will be held in the school gymnasium, and only the actual laying of the corner stone will take place at the building.
 The Nome Nugget has arrang- ed for an engraving of the fed eral building and if it arrives from Fairbanks via plane We'd nesday, 1t will be printed in con- nection with a detailed story of Tuesday celebration and also a ttory in connection with the con- struction details and etc, It Is also the arrangements intention to print an .:xtra four pages or Wednesday, so that we may be able to take care of any extra advertising which might be offer ed on that date.
 The program of the ceremony appears in detail in this issue.

Representatives CT half the volun-
teer fire fighting organizations of the
state are enrolled for the intensive
course CT instruction being given by

OF Engineering.
Close to 35e-men, OR an average
of more than four to a company, are
taking the training.
The course, which began in No
vember, coversSa 20-week period,
Fourteen classes, which meet at CEN
trally located towns throughout the
state, are being held once week
In order to facilitate the work o.
instructors, whose efforts are direct
ed by Prof. R. B. Criswell, of the
University of Maryland, the state
has been divided into four regions
to each of which an instructor has

sups. and C. C. Larrimore OF Easton
The classes are being conducted

Claims Paid BY Social
Security Board

Payment Of 1,021 lump-sum
claims was made in Maryland DUR
ing the first years operation OF the
+ eaeral Governments old-age insur-
ance system, to wage Gamers who
mad reached age IS and the estates
or relatives of those who had died,
Luther Becker, Manager of the Bal
llmore Field Office announced today.
these payments, representing 3h
percent of the total wages paid to the
workers, amounted to $25,642.19 or
an average OF $25.11 for Maryland.
Payment Of 53,237 claims,
amounting to $1,277,516.28, was
made throughout the country, or an
average payment of $24. Since the
earlier months Of the year, when the
claims were for very small amounts,
the average rose steadily until the
average payment throughout the
country during the month Of Deem
Ger was $27.15.
The end-of-the-year analysis Of
record shows that the claims paid
ranged from 1858, the amount paid
to the estate of a man who had been
receiving incomes from more than
one job, to 10 cents. "The Bureau
of Old-Age Insurance has exercised
The same care, however, IN the adj
judication Of small claims that it
mas in the case of claims for larger
amounts" said Mr.. Becker.
He added that the claim for 10
cents was divided between the par
ents of girl who had worked only
one day in 1937-New Years Day
when she became i'll and died. Her
father, inquiring at field Office as to
claim, was told that while of course
it would be very small, the Govern
ment would nevertheless see to it
that it was paid. The father request
ed payment.
Pennsylvania is the State in
which the largest number of claims
was paid although New York in the
greatest amount of money was dis
bursed. In New York 6,361 claimants
received s175.656sS. The claims
certified for Pennsylvania numbered
1905, the amount of money going
to those claimants totaling $164,7O2,-
SO. The New York average was ST.
81, while that of Pennsylvania,
where approximately 700 more
claims were paid, was 1891.
Although the number of claims
filed during the year was smaller
than has been estimated, Mr.. Becker
explained that this probably was due
primarily to the fact that in he earl
Ter months Of the year the average
amount was so small that many
eligible to receive payments did not
bother to file claim. It was also as
sumed that many failed to submit
claims because of lack of familiarity
with the procedure necessary in fl
ing them.
