FREE TRIP TO SEATTLE

At meeting of the Nome Sports Association held last ev- ening, the Sports Association di- rectors decided to inaugurate a financing program to assist in the promotion of a full program of winter sports for the coming winter.
 To this end a sale of tickets be- gan today. These tickets may be obtained at various business establishments around town, and by personal contact with Club members.
 It is the hope of the Association directors that sufficient funds will be raised from this initial effort so as to permit an early start on their winter sports ac- tivities.

Two Kinds of Claims

.. It is very important to distin- guish between a lode and a pla- cer deposit. If a deposit is lode, it should be staked as a lode claim; If it is placer, it should be staked as a placer claim. If both a lode and a placer deposit are found in the same area, it should be located as both a placer and a lode claim.

The Allegany County Commits
sioners have received word from

set aside by wPA authorities for
county road projects.
For every federal dollar spent an
approximate 20 cents is required as
the county donation to costs of

WPA sources recently stated that
there we're about 1000 workers on
wPA county projects.

The allotment to Cumberland was
s29i.377. The owners OF property
are required to pay for material
costs, while the city has been put

its match to each dollar supplied by
WPA authorities.
The city'S share is to provide part
OF the supervision. truck hire and
certain tools.
Per Capita
WPA workers have already been
figuring in scratch pads and find
that the federal allotment of $734,-
673 for this area will work out TO a
per capita amount in excess of S226
for each Of the 3.24i men and
women now on the rolls.

CLIO To Fight
WP A Roll Slashes

Washington-A nation wide cam
paign to stop new WPA cuts is be-
ing launched by the CIO, following
action taken by the constitutional
convention last month.
Ralph Hetzel. Jr. CIO uemploy-
ment director on behalf OF the CIO
Committee on Unemployment, call
ed upon CIO affiliateS to Join in I'M
mediate opposition to the projected
cuts. which may remove thousands
from the WPA payrollS
The committees statement calls
the cuts dangerous TO recovery and
inhuman to the unemployed.
The statement follows:
THE CIO Committee on Unem-
ployment calls upon all CIO affili-
ates to make known their opposi-
ton to the proposed cuts in the
number of WPA Jobs Reports from
all sections OF the country indicate
that cuts are rapidly being made.
Some of the cuts are direct. Others
are hidden under the device OF fail
ing TO replace workers who leave the
WPA rolls with others who are cer-
titled to be in need
THE policy of cutting the WPA
at this time is most unwiSe. There
are at least 100000 unemployed who
are certified as eligible to WPA and
should have WPA jobs. There are
at least as many more who. by all
standards. should be so certified.
flinders Recovery
"If these cuts go through and the
WPA rolls are seriously reduced
during the coming winter months,
not only will great suffering be
caused among the unemployed. but
the current recovery will be endan-
geped by the reduction OF govern
ment expenditures too early in the
recovery.
"The CIO takes the position that
the WPA as it now stands is made
ouate, that no cuts should be made
until there are no more unem-
ployed workers eligible to the wPA
and private employment naturally
reduces the rolls.
"These cuts can be stopped II
