Clarifying
Yourself
BY Alicia Hart

During the summer and early fall
months nobody needed to be urged
to get plenty Of sunshine and out
door exercise. It was no burden or
bore to play golf or tennis, lie on
the beach in the sun or, later on,
to whiz across the countryside,
breathing deeply and loving natures
panorama of autumn colors.
Now, however, is the time when
the average person needs to decide
on some kind Of exercise schedule
and then stick to 1t. Girls who didn't
mind walking to work those balmy
summer mornings now are forcing
themselves to walk home from walk
at least twice week. Women who
won't play golf or tennis again un-
til spring are resolving to do a set
of special exercises at least fifteen
minutes day.

or why the syrup?
The comment is no longer isn't
she sweet?" but who does she
think she is fooling?" when a
woman tries to get ahead in bust
ness by banking on sweetness in
stead of brains and hard work.
Even socially the sweet, sweet
woman has become pain IN the
neck. The wise run from her straight
to the woman who doesn't turn to
sugar trying to be thought "such a
sweet person" by everyone she meets.
It Is too bad the sweet woman
doesn't see that her day Is over
and that the only kind OF sweet
ness that gets hand today Is the
genuine affection and concern.
Probably the reason she doesn't
wake up to this is because being
sweet Is the easiest thing in the
world for a woman.
All she needs is smile and a

mination never to show her hand.

Nome to Get Interference-Free Radio Station

Major Paul s. Edwards. head of the Alaska Communications System, who left Nome yester- day for Fairbanks, after com pleting a trip to Point Barrow and other northern points, an nounced prior to his departure that sometime during the com ing summer the local station of the Signal Corps would be nov ed to the new Federal building with offices on the End floor.
 The major also declared that much new and modern equip znent designed to prevent any in- reference with broadcast recep- tion by the public, would be in stalled when the station is nov ca.
 His statement also included the information that one receiv- CT would be maintained at the present site, but that the remain der of the equipment would be centered at the Federal building and all operations conducted from the new location.
 Major Edwards announcement clarifies a misunderstan d 1 n g which occurred between civic leaders and officials as to the ad- visibility of moving the station last fall when other departments which had been housed in tenn porary structures since the fire of 1894, moved into the new building. The moving of the Sig nal Corps station to the new fed eral building will place one oth- CT federal agency under the com mon roof, and be a departure from the old policy of maintain ing separate institutions about the city
 Major Edwards is the first AL aSka Communication Syste m chief to make a survey of the , system turnout Alaska during the winter time.

SCHOOL NEWS

At a special assembly Friday. the Nome High School Student Association had the privilege of hearing an inspired address by Judge Morrison of the United States District Court. The re- mainder of the meeting was de- voted 10 the nomination of candi dates for the various student offices for the coming year. The election will take place April IA in what promises to be a close co n test between presidential candidates Virginia Calkins and George Martin.
 The Junior Class have begun work on three one-act plays to be given April 18th. Other stu dents will also appear in the ev- ening's entertainment which has been planned for variety and in- terest. The chills and thrills of ''The Singapore Spider" the hu morous pathos of Bargains" and the ridiculous gayety of Love and Lather" make up program crammed with diversified appeal. Most of the students who appear ed in the recent success, 'T'he Balmy Mir. Brown" will again dis play their talent. The plays are being coached by Miss Stubkjaer Miss Thompson and MT. Pool.
 Those children who with reluc tant feet wearily trudged to school a few days early last fall will receive their just reward next week. Beginning Wednes- day, April the remainder of the week will be spring vacation. This has been made possible by the early start of the school term this year and will still permit the regulation number of days.
