 Jumping requires long years of practice and together with its element of danger, will never have the popular appeal of down hill and s!alom skiing, which can be indulged in by both young and old on the easiest slope or the steepest hill. Cross country racing, while admirable for con- ditioning the competitor, is gen. orally too strenuous for anyone except the competitor in the peak of training. In other words, skiing has developed from a sport with a handful of compet- itorS and a few thousand spec tators, into a sport enjoyed by hundreds of thousands in this country who are skiers in their own right, and who may be found each week end on the slopes at any one of the Ameri- can centers.
 Keeping in mind, therefore the above information and with the desire to create interest in skiing in our particular section and perhaps build up exception al skiers of our own to compete elsewhere, the Nome Ski Club sponsors the first of a yearly com petition.

The sport of skiing has advanc ed by leaps and bounds. It is estimated that the number of skierS has tripled each year in the United States for the last three winters, until there are now almost a half million peo- pie who ski in this country. The same is true in Europe except that the enthusiasm started years earlier there. Consequently, Flu ropean countries have much greater percentage of skiers. The interest in the sport has spread to the four corners of the world Japan has hundreds of thou sands of skiers.

Gus Johnson
 Tells About His Vacation Outside

Gus H. Johnson, old time em- ployee of the Lomen Commercial Co, who left here in the early part of January for vacation to the outside, was a returning passenger to Nome on a P A A plane Wednesday.
 MT. Johnson states he had the time of his life, visiting sour dough friends as well as meeting many Nome sourdough friends at the Gold Gate Exposition. Gus as he is called by his many friends, not content with a visit to the Fair, also visited Boulder Dam, Los Angeles, San Diego, Tia Juana, Mexico, and many other places during his vacation.
 Gus with numerous other Nomeites visited the Lido Cafe and Cabaret in San Francisco, where they met Helen Stipek, former pianist of Nome, who is leading the orchestra at this night club, who requested to be remembered to her many Nome Friends.
 During the evening MT. John son, Al Carey, George Waldhelm B. J. McConaghy and other Nomeites were announced as wis jtors from Alaska, and were compelled to stand up and bow gracefully to the applause of the many diners attending the Cab aret
 After sailing on the steamer from Seattle for Alaska. Gus said: We stopped at Ketchikan where all the Nomeites aboard the boat were greeted in real old fashioned sourdough style by George and Bertha Mckay, form CT resident of Nome, who are now conducting the Marine Hotel there. MT. and Mrs. Mckay meet you at the dock when the boat comes in, and when you arrive and leave they give you the Radiators Club of Nome" high sign, which is-WeQ that is a secret. We also met MT. and Mrs. Ed. Stevens at Ketchikan, and their charming daughter. Ed. is running drug store there. All wanted to be remembered to their many Nome friends, he said.
 Gus said, however, that he was glad to get back to Gods" country again and settle down to real work and life.

He was free at last Eagerly, like starving

out his papers, his ink and pen. The table at
which he wrote was the one thing in the house
that mattered to him. Ann had brought it
with her from her home and was proud of it
too - because of its fine surface - because
it belonged to her.
Deep silence settled on the low, oak k-beamed
kitchen There was no sound but the stirring
of light spring wind in the apple trees in the
orchard - the timid scuffle of a mouse. But
as he sat there brooding the room filled with
strange people - people as yet nameless, a

He signalled at one of them-a fierce,

He foresaw what would happen to her. She
would drive her husband to murder. But her
conscience would not let her rest. She would
walk the darkness, crying out in despair and
anguish. He could almost hear her.
The church bell changed midnight. He
started violently and the pen he still held
jerked ink over the precious golden surface

murdered someone, Ann would not hate him
more. He snatched cloth from the dresser

one big accusing spot remained. Suddenly he

He tucked the limp warm body of the

And he did not want to 60 home. Time was,

fields. 1t said plainly, You should have been

Ann was pretty enough, but anger did not
become her. She was very angry. And the
pheasant made things worse.
"Poaching again!" she said. You'll end
your days in prison and disgrace US all!'

round, shy and smiling, at their upturned
faces. They had really liked 1t. They had
listened with the close. critical interest OF men
who knew their business And no one had ever
listened before. Not even Ann. Only the
fields and forests. And he wasn't sure even OF

He shook his head and turned away. Old
Burbage went with him to the door. his arm
flung affectionately over his shoulder. That
was great stuff. Why don't you come? What
are you going to make of yourself in this

Young man. But he had to be practical. He
had lost his job recently - really through no
fault of his own - and in spite of the fact
that AIMS father was man of substance,
no help had come from that quarter. He
strongly suspected that Ann herself was to
blame. Probably she'd said, IF you help him
he'll never help himself" 1t was the sort of
thing she would say. She thought she could
drive him to work. And no doubt she would.
He hated work her sort anyway. And
his sort she called wasting time Perhaps it

Importance, but it's present continu-

American people themselves. They

three squares daily, not conscious of
any abdominal pinch, remain too in
different to be seriously concerned.
These go smugly on, contributing to
continued unemployment, because of
their indifference to the source of pro-
duction Of the things they buy, not
realizing that they are also making
their own employment less secure.
Second is that group still possessing
income property or securities, who in
their money stretching nania-seek-
ing to save a penny here and there,
purchase cheap foreign products, thus
making their contribution to swell the
ranks Of the unemployed and to ex-
tend depression, decreasing the earn

Unemployment for millions of our
American workers and depression, or
work for all who want to work and
prosperity-is a question the Ameri-
can people can decide for themselves.
They will decide this either by gath
ering a few facts, allowing the light
of common sense to fall upon them
and then bestirring themselves into
independent action, or by remaining
Indifferent or satisfied to depend up
on the government to find them a
miserly subsistence, and to decide for
them.
The American housewife is the pur-
chasing agent in the average Ameri-
can home, and economists hold that
she spends 1870 or more of the Ameri-
can payroll. 1t is also fact that the
ultimate consumer is the real employ
er in our economic structure. What
we buy with our wages determines
what workers shall be employed. If
we decide to buy Ford car, then this
purchase determines, that Mr.. Ford
shall act as our supervisor in the con-
struction of it, and the workers in Mr..
Ford's plant shall be employed in the
making of it. On the other hand, if
we decide to buy a Chevrolet, then we
employ the General Motors Corpora
ton to supervise and their workers
to build it. Thus it appears that it is

ner-Ddnce One Of Best In
BodY's History

Declaring that he was going to
spend the major part Of his life talk
ing BUY American" and shouting
against every "ism" with the ex-
ception of Americanism, Coleman
Clarherty, guest speaker at the forty
fifth anniversary celebration of the
East Liverpool Trades and Labor
Council last night convinced more
than $50 members and friends Of the
Central Body present at the dinner
dance in the Brotherhood hall that he
was an able disciple of President
James M. Duffy, who, Mr.. Clarherty
stated, converted him to the straight
"Buy American" policy.
Making strong plea to his listen
ers to defeat the foreign menace in
order to bring jobs and prosperity to
fellow Americans, the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor representative from
Cleveland opened his remarks by
pointing out the happy coincidence of
the celebration of both the birthday
Of Washington and the Trades and
Labor Council on the same day. He
stated that the first president was,
"First in war, first in peace and first
in the hearts of his countrymen," and
applied it to the labor movement, say
ing that it fights hard for cause
deemed just if the country is at war
or blessed with peace, but it always
must think of fellow men, that being
the foundation of the movement.
Paying unstinted praise to Presi-
dent Duffy, Mr.. Clarherty said the
name of the Brotherhood leader would
go down in history as trail blazer
for making the people America con-
scious; for selling America to the
Americans.
The speaker blamed the American
people, in great part, for dictators
and the strife in Asia. He insisted that
if millions of dollars were not spent
yearly for the products Of Germany
and Japan, Hitler would not be
nor would Japan overrun her
island to spill blood in China. He de-
clared every time a foolish housewife
