SEATTLE Jan. 6 - E. o. Paup president of the Pacific Canned Salmon Distributors Association this week announced the appoint ment of distributors committee to promote and publicize this years observance of National Canned Salmon Week, Feb.

 Fred Gosse, president of F. A. Gosse Company, heads the com- mittee, and is assisted by Clarke Hamlin of E. H. Hamlin Com pany and Starr Parish of New England Fish Company.
 The committee is now laying plans to make this week out standing in developing a maxi mum amount of publicity for canned salmon, Chairman Gosse said. All railroads which share in the task of moving Canned Salmon to the nations markets are being urged to again feature Canned Salmon dishes on their menus during this period, and several have already indicated that they will cooperate in this manner.
 Railroads, steamship compan- ies, telegraph firms and others sharing in the marketing of sal- mon are also planning window displays in prominent locations, Gosse said.
 'The efforts of brokers and distributors to gain more atten- ton for salmon will be tied in with the merchandising program of the salmon packers" Gosse said.

Our Lady of Lourdes Mission
 Pilgrim Springs, Alaska
 January ', l939

Editor Nome Nugget,
 Nome, Alaska.
 Dear MT. Maynard:--
 The Sisters and the children of Pilgrim Springs, have just cele- brated one of the happiest and most enjoyable Christmas Festi vals in the history of the Mis- sion. That this joy and happiness was due in great part to the kind ness and generosity of the people of Nome, there is no doubt, and in the name of the children and sisters, wish to thank all those who contributed to this happi- ness.
 All realize how difficult it is to get a Christmas Tree in this section of Alaska. In fact trees of any description are scarce, but the fir and the cedar, which lends such an oder to the house at Christmas time are hard to find. Yet a Christmas Tree WAS brought to the Mission by MT. Wien, who picked it up some where on his flights, and this was just what was needed to com plete our joy and make the Christmas a real success.
 Many of the gifts and presents bore the names of the generous donors. All these persons will be remembered and thanked person ally, But there were other gifts which bore no name, the donors just wishing to make the child ren of the Springs happy, with out attracting any attention to themselves. To these all we send our grateful thanks. There were the members of the Nome Vol ! unteer Fire Department. How many an hour they worked gath ering toys and repairing them, in order to make some little young ster happy?
 Then too, the many lovely pres ents from the children of the Federated Church in Nome. With out these presents from Rev. MT. Widney's Congregation many a stocking at the Springs would have a thin and hungry look. Finally what is a stocking with out candy. Toys alone do not make a child's Christmas, there must be candy too, to go with the toys. To the members of the Good Cheer Committee under MT. Leonard Smith, this tooth- some morsal was not forgotten from the stockings of the child ren.
 In return for all that our dear friends in Nome have done for us, We wish them in return a very, very Happy and Prosper ous New Year. We will remem- Der our good friends of Nome in our prayers, and beg the dear Lord to give them in abundance those material gifts and bene- fits, which they have so lovingly lavished on His little orphans
 Respectfully yours,
 Rev. E. J. Cunningham

President Asks
 l5O Million For
 WPA For } Mo.

WASHINGTON, D.. C., Feb ', tP) - President Roosevelt told Congress that an emergency ex- ists for Relief and asked for the immediate consideration of an additional appropriation of one hundred and fifty million dollars for the WPA for the next five months.
 The figure represents the cuts that Congress made for his re- quest of eight hundred and sev- enty-fve million dollars to carry the WPA from February thru June.
 White House officials announ- ced that the President had sign ed the seven hundred and tWen- ty-five million dollar bill last Saturday.
 The President said in a mess age ito Congress, that with only seven hundred and twenty y-five million dollars available, the WPA must either reduce the rolls abruptly on April one, by a million persons or begin at that date, a week by week reduction which by June 30 will drop the employment of the present three million to a figure we'll below million and a half.

Two Kinds of Claims

It is very important to distin- gliish 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 he 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 placer and loT 7aim.

NO MORE MORI JIG

Incidental intelligence by way of Tokyo informs that the Jap anese government has banned the ancient custom of placing tiny piles of salt in front of busi- ness places to ward off bad luck and woo customers.
 The salt charm was known as "mori jio" or devil chasers" and its abolition is reported to have wrought consternation among the Tokyo shopkeepers.
 The mo more mori jio" decree is a wartime measure, the idea being, it is said, to place the salt thus saved on Chiang Kai-chek's tail feathers and capture him.

GOOD OLD NORWAY

Whether the Norwegian governments release of the U s. steamer City of Flint to it's American crew strictly according to Hoye will be the subject of international debate for some little time to come. But every American reoices at the of the ship Out of the clutches of the belgerents the City of Flint is less likely to become of those incidents which might set off a dangerous spark in this country
 Most authorities say the Germans seizure of the ship in the first place was perfectly legal under inter- national law Taking it into the Arctic Ocean to the neutral port of Murmansk however, the ruse that it disabled, something else again. And the conduct of the Soviet Government throughout the affair is open to considerable criticism. Our State Department unable even by the most persistent efforts to learn the details of the incident whether the was safe and whether American rights under international law had been respected.
 The episode should serve to warn this country of the difficulty of escaping entangement abroad ii American ships are permitted to carry contraband in the The neutrality bill signed today by the President will to this obstacle to maining out of
 Under international law the cargo of the City ot Flint appears not to have been absolute contraband It consisted of tractors. grain and foodstuffs Absolute contraband material destined for by the armed forces of a begerent. Conditional contraband is material shipped for the of non-eombatants But in the last and from the beginning of this war, this fine distinction has not been maintained
 By British ruling more than 600 articles are con- traband, and according to German decree any ma teria shipped to enemy is contraband and there fore subject to seizure
 Neither the British nor the Germans recognize the definitions of contraband laid down in inter- national law In that regard as with other rul- ings on blockade and shipping rights, the rules are made to fit the needs of the countries concerned This fact whether it is legally recognized not There is international body empowered to enforce the provisions of international law. Each country must enforce its interpretation and generally does. If the United States decides that material like that contained in the hold of the City of Flint not contraband it has the privilege o2 using the navy to enforce its opinion. And it does not take expert to see where such action would lead.
 Nothing would have happened to the City of Flint had it been loaded to the top deck with machine
