NIGHT ATHLETIC SPORTS

In many places baseball and foot
hall games at night are getting large
crowds. 1t used to be thought that
daylight was necessary for such
sports, but the wonderful develop
ment of modern lighting can turn
darkness into day, and make such
games possible. They will no doubt
gain in popularity.
The American people like to see
such contests of skill and power. It
has been hardship to many if they
could not get away during working
hours to see the baseball pitched or
the football kicked Now if in many
places games can be played at night;
the people whose hearts are on the
diamond and the gridiron will give
many cheers.

WARS AND JUSTICE

The nations fight from time to time
and the world judges them as to
whether they fought in a just cause
or not. Most wars have been start
ed for unjust causes. The nations
in Europe trembling on the brink of
war would better consider whether
they have heavens justice on their
side.
The main issue is as to whether the
so-called Sudeten Germans should be
permitted to join the German nation.
The world hates to Sc the warlike
German people get their way by
threatening to fight if their aims are
thwarted. Still, the main thing is to
prevent a few million Germans in
Czechoslovakia from joining the
country to which they wish to ad-
here, may not look quite so good be-
fore the bar of the worlds justice.

HOW MANY ARE ON THE ROCKS

Reliable statistics furnished by the
National Industrial Conference
Board estimate that 621 thousand
persons are added TO the working
forces Of our growing country every
year.
The same authority estimates that
nearly IL million persons, including
those on relief jobs were unemploy-
ed I'm June.
When Herbert Hoover was at the
head of the Department of Com
MERGE the record showed that un-
employment of approximately mill
lion persons was normal, even in the
best of times.
But under the New Deal the de-
serving and the undeserying are all
picked up and cared for, and the
picture that this makes indicates
that most of the country is on the
rocks most Of the time.

The Good NeighbOr Fleet

by y r.. Jones
The twenty-0ne Republics and the
Dominion of Canada have lived side
by side as good neighbors, and be-
come strong. magnificent and Inn
pregnable as the New World has
progressed in peace--even as parts
Of the Old werldehaye reverted time
and again to war.
The United States Maritime Com
mission has, elected as It's Number
One responsibility TO provide fast,
comfortable and efficient steamboat
service for the avowed purpose of
expanding commercial and neighbor-
ly intercourse between the Ameri-
cas--to strengthen the Americas for
Americans.
Admiral Emory S. Land, Chairman
Of the United States Maritime Com
mission, has just announced that the
plan for the establishment of a fast
modern steamship service to coun-
tries on the East coast of South
America will become. a reality in a
few weeks when the service inau-
gurated BY the Maritime Commission
will be started with. the sailing OF
the Brazil from New YORK. The Dr.
uguay and Argentina Will complete
the Good Neighbor Fleet under fixed
sailing schedules. The three ships
were formerly Panama Pacific lin
ers and they have been thoroughly
reeonditioned and ontfitted for the
new luxury service to the countries
below the equator. af
In the establishment of the new
liner service to the East Coast of
South America, the Maritime Com
mission states that it has three OBJ
jectives: 2it s'1e
One Is to promote and facilitate |
trade between all the Americas. The
three republics below the equator
which the fleet will directly serve
are already among our best custom
ers, as we are among their best Gus
toners. For example, 1.-THE United
States, with seven per cent of the
worlds population, consumes half of
the worlds coffee. We are equally
on them for many other
products which are essential not
only to our national comfort but to
our national economy. In turn, they
are dependent on a great many of
our products. Modern and fast
is certain to be a
means OF expanding tnis CONNER
,ial intercourse.
The. second objective is to promote
.ravel. Good Neighbors should see
,ne another, so that they may better
Lnow one another.
The third objective is a natural
product of the other two. 1t is to
promote the good will and friendly
relationships that spring naturally
rom acquaintance.
Admiral Land reminds us that
although written over a hundred
ears ago, the Monroe Doctrine
tands today as the declaration Of
he fundamental policy of the United
states toward the other countries of
he Western Hemisphere" And he
dds: "Yet covetous eyes are still
Ipon us and upon our neighbors.
here is jealousy of the peace of the
americas, and envy Of the progress
re are making as Good Neighbors."

WILL CHESTNUTs COME BACKl

Thirty years ago chestnut trees
were one of the most valuable pro-
ducts in the United States. They
furnished light and durable wood,
and were used in furniture. posts,
fence timbers, etc. 1t used to be said
that a boy would hunt an hour If he
could find two or three chestnuts.
Then came a deplOrable blight,
which killed about all these trees.
The loss of timber may have cost
billions of dollars. Botanic experts
have been conducting experiments to
create new varieties of chestnut trees
combining native and foreign strains,
which it is hoped with incubation
may eventually resist this blight.
Hunting chestnuts used to be fav-
orite pursuit of youth, and countless
romances have started while search
ing under the trees for this juicy
fruit.

SOCIAL SECURITY-RecOmmen-
dations for broadening the Social
Security Act will probably be made
at the next session of Congress. The
recommendations will be to include

who were entitled to retirement PEN
si0ns, be paid such pensions.

Those who attended the Republi-

ter what other people tell you, no
matter how many whispers go
around, this column is here to tell
you that it was one of the most har-
monious conventions held in years
and the harmony was really sincere.
There was some argument in the
Kent County Caucus but it was act
uated by real desire for the party's
success and it did not carry over
for the future. One of the defeated
for a nomination told this
writer that after all it was probably
for the best to select "Pete" Shaw
of Harrington, and that he was go
ing to get in back Of him and do
everything to help elect him. That |
didn't sound the way defeated can
didates talked a few years ago. Most
of the fuss was unnecessary and was
so revealed even to the "fussers,"
after the caucus was over. Members ,
for the State Committee had lot to
do with il and more offices assign
ed to Kent was the most of the
hitch. None of these questions car
ried any headaches through for the
future. The convention was sane and
and was such a con-
.rast to the Democratic Convention
held. The highlight of the

"Playfield
 Jamboree''
 November l2

Another Playfeld Jamboree looms on the near horizon, Nov meber 12, to be exact, an occas- sion when the whole community gathers for an evening of fun and at the same time swells the fund for playground develop ment.
 The Jamboree was instituted last January as a means of es- tabliShing a well-equipped play field for the children and the young people of Nome. Through the generous cooperation of the townspeople, the Home Arts Club, sponsors of the plan, rais- ed sufficient money to make a good start. The site chosen was the vacant lot to the east of the Territorial School One-third of the ground has been filled and leveled, and the children have been playing there for some time. Equipment from the small playfield formerly used by the younger children has been nov ed to the new location and will soon be set up.
 School board, city council, and private citizens, have assisted with the work, and all are en- thusiastic about the possibilities for the future.
 The next step will be to gravel the remainder of the large lot next spring and have it ready for new equipment which should come on the first boat. The work done so far has almost depleted the treasury, and so every one is looking forward to the Jam boree next week to provide amp ly for the completion of the pro- ject.
 Further details will appear in later issues of The Nugget. There will be fun for every one. Watch the papers.

By man working in the field where the plane crashed. the air liner was seen to be having di- faculties. While flying over St. Peter, smoke and flames came pouring out of one of her port engines. She turned around ap- parently in an effort to return to the airport but suddenly hurled to earth, narrowly missing a ho- tel. The plane hit with terrific crash, toppled over, and burst into flames, followed a few sec onds later by a loud explosion. The plane was a four-motored DeHaviland.
