Editor Publisher, Nome Nugget, Nome, Alaska Dear Bill:
 With the arrival of your sou venir edition and the reappear- ance of the Nome Nugget to Nonne's influence, I am anxious to extend to you my congratula- tions. Although I have not been in Nome much during the last two. years, my interests are nat urally extended. there. Tomorrow morning I will start my forty first year as an Alaskan, having
 arrived at Nome on October 9, 1903. During all of that time I have read the Nugget. Major Strong, later our governor, was
 the editor when I arrived, and the paper has gone through many changes since, I hope that you will recognize the power of the press and use the medium for the advancement of Alaska and Nome in particu- lar.

him a bad turn. There isn't a woman who isn't afraid she will lose the man she loves. There isn't home or an office or a church in which there aren't people with hang-dog expres- sion, eating out their hearts. A pitiful sight to behold.
 When you stop to analyze this problem. And it is a problem, believe me. All the miseries caused by sickness and sin to- gether would not equal those we bring upon ourselves by fear. Surely there should be a remedy, or at least a mental aspirin. We are not sick all of the time. We can't be shining all of the time. But if you will notice we are fear ing something practically all of the time. Why should we be har- angued and nagged by fear?
 I sure was scared for a minute or two!
 Are you . .dawdIer? Do you take twice as long as anyone to wash your face? When you are supposed to be on your way down town, do you sit down and finish . chapter in a book? Just before the curtain goes up in the theatre, do you stop to play with children in the street? When you arc suppos- ed to be home for the evening meal, do you spend more time than you expected in ye local cocktail lounge? Do you take twice as long sto.. eat your lunch, read the newspaper; comb. your hair, or dress for dinner? My friend, you had better watch out-you are heading for trouble!

By AUDREY HENDERSON


 morning, l visited the Federal Building and participated in an Alaskan's. favorite past-time, Looking for mail" l saw a long white envelope in my post office box. A ripple of excite ment spread over me as l anX- iously funnbled with my key. Opening the box, l pulled the letter out and l looked at the postmark to see where it came from. Suddenly l felt cold and then hot and sweat broke out on my brow. l swallowed hard and the day seemed dark. And all l could see was huge envelope with a postmark as large as the Federal building staring at me with oggling periods.
 Have you ever been afraid? When I say that l have been afraid many times during my conscious ,,lifeJ I am taking il for granted that the majority of people have had the same. exper- I cannot remember the time when there wasn't some awful omen hanging over my head of some sort. As a matter of fact, the reaction against fear was n1- stinctive. l tried my best. to. ar que against the emotion. But the habit Of looking for trou- bIe had, been established from my earliest years. I anticipated, Whats it going to be nowe~, My hopes were as ultimate dfsap- pointments. I know my life was not any darker than most lives. Yours isn't either.
 Just what is fear? What makes us trernhle at the sight or. sound of certain person we dread to see CT meet7 Webete5's. diction- afy says that fear is a painful emotion or passion excited by an expectation of evil, or the appre- hension of impending danger" But definitions never seem fo explain events as they really are.
 Remember when you were a child? There was always the fear of being sent to bed and you buried yourself alive beneath the, sheets and blankets. And the terrible dread of going outside on dark night. Later # was school and meeting people. Later still, there was Q fear and dis may of obvious duties we had neglected. Perhaps, many mis- takes had been made. There were always people to whom we had done wrong. And then on top Of everything else there were the fears of people who bored or annoyed or discouraged us.
 Now that you have grown up, there are fears that have taken the place of the old ones. Still fears, however. Look around you. In just one hours time the amount of people who are in fear of something is pathetic Everyone seems to be living or working in fear. You see a fa- ther who is afraid for his busi- ness. A clerk who is afraid for his job. A worker is afraid of his boss. A political appointee afraid for his political plum. A mother afraid for her children. There isn't a person who isn't afraid that someone else will do

A Crying Need

It is high time for the people of Ashe
to wake up to the obvious fact that our
county is going backward and not forward
because we are not teaching vocational
agriculture in our high schools.
Instead of teaching our boys how to
make better living and of creating within
them keen desire to farm here at home
in Ashe county, we are merely teaching
them in our high schools and neighboring
colleges how to do something that will re-
quire them, at least most of them, to live
and work elsewhere.
Isn't that paradox? Isn't that great
loss to the county? Practically all this
county has to offer it's youth is it's soil
Ours is an agricultural, livestock and poul-
try county, Of course it is all right to
teach English, math, and foreign language
es, but we should also be teaching them
modern farming Notwithstanding with
in them desire to farm and equipping
them with knowledge to make a good liv-
ing on the farm.
The federal and state governments
Leaders in the farm program want it,
Most of the counties in the state have these
departments and have had them for years.
Why hasn't Ashe?
The answer is simply that our county
officials felt that we couldn't afford the lit
tie extra cost involved, and the public has
not demanded it.
AS we see it, the county can no longer
afford to do without these departments.
Within few years they will pay huge di-
vidends in terms Of increased valuation
and more income. Such departments will
far more than pay for themselves even in
increased taxes to the county.
For the past several years, school prin-
cipals and officials have been saying this;
many local leaders here have been saying
it, but nothing has been done about it.
Today we are asking every farmer who
has son to do something about it! We

In paving the way for the extension of
pansiOn, the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce of the House of Rep
resentatives has consistently shown fore
sight. 1t has wisely incorporated in pend
ing legislation provisions which extend
Federal regulation Of air commerce
throughout the air space No air lines of
consequence operate within single state.
Most of them cross many states. So their
operation comes clearly within the inter-
state classification rather than intrastate
In 1888, during the hearings on the
Civil Aeronautics bill, Senator McCarren
of Nevada said before the Senate Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce: II believe
very shortly in this industry we will come
to a point where we must forget state
lines. I would not say this ordinarily. I
believe in autonomy. I believe in home
rule. I believe in the sovereignty of the
state But in this matter we are dealing
with a great national problem It is
not so much home rule proposition
The ability of our civilian air lines to
maintain Americas air supremacy after
the war will depend largely on the wis
dom of Congress in providing legislation to
protect Americas future security and
commerce by utilizing properly Americas
great aid industry.

Million Miles Of Safety

We read the other day about school
bus wreck; several children were critically
injured and while regretting this we were
reminded of the fine record of the school
buses of this county.
During the past ten years since J. B.
Hash has served as superintendent of
schools, the transportation system for
school children has been built up so that it
covers the county, and from small in
complete system, around $500 children are
hauled back and forth to school each day.
The remarkable thing about this is that in
spite of some roads that are not always in
favorable condition and certainly weather
that is often unfavorable to driving, there
have been no accidents resulting in injuries
to children during this period.
The school authorities, bus drivers,
teachers and children are to be commend
ed in this safety program. The drivers
have been we'll trained and are we'll chos-
en- for their responsibility. Safety pro-
grams are also taught in the schools and, of
course, this as we'll as the condition of the
school buses are partially responsible for
this record. This is a record of which the
county should be proud and should strive
to maintain in the future. Let's continue
to transport our children in safety to our
schools

Congress Listening

The new federal income measure is a
clear demonstration that public opinion
still carries lot of weight in our democ-
racy.
When the questions of putting taxes on
a pay-as-you-go basis and forgiving taxes
on 1912 incomes first came up, there was
a general GOODNESS toward such plans both
in congress and the Treasury department.
But the millions of taxpayers of the coun-
try, who had great difficulty saving the
money to pay their income tax last
March, were Immediately attached to the
idea.
People all over the country began
writing to their senators and congressman
saying that they wanted this plan.
When we get the feeling that it is
waste of time and postage to write to our
congressman, we can now look at the new
tax measure as proof of the fact that pub
lie opinion still does count.

Consumer Police

It looks as though every consumer will
have to serve as a voluntary policeman if
we hope to keep food prices from getting
out of hand.
The Office of Price Administration has
admitted that it is having difficulty in
keeping prices under control. 1t can die
tate ceiling prices, concoct punishments
for those who violate its regulations and
bring few people into court.
But to watch price activities among
millions of retailers, wholesalers and pro-
ducers is a task which would require a
police force the size of our army Realiz-
ing that it cannot hope to enforce its reg
ulations through paid enforcement agents.
the only solution seems to be to put en-
forcement in the hands Of the people,
The OPA, therefore, probably will
soon make a strong plea to the people
asking them not only to avoid patroniz-
ing black markets but to report all
ceiling violations to local ration boards
Loss of ration coupons is tantamount to
putting a store or company out of bust
ness. If dealers in food realized that they
might cut off from supplies if they violated
ceiling prices there would be few who
would take the chance.

Havre de Grace, Md, born Au-
gust 10, 1912, died May IA, 1943.
Today brings sad memories of
Charlotte Ann, who's gone to

She will always be remembered

The darling baby will always be
present, absent tho her smil-

In our hearts she'll live forever,
nothing else can take her
place.
When Charlotte Ann breathed her
last farewell,
The shock means more than we
can tell.
The world seems quite another
place,
Without the smiles on Char
lotte AIMS face.
Charlotte's gone, we say with
weeping,
Yet we smile with all our tears,
Knowing that she's only sleeping,
And will live through endless
years.

them-the main thing is that we
cannot afford to do without
them" he said with emphasis.
Within five years time, through
increased value of farms and in
come from crops and livestock,
the county itself will be collecting
more taxes than the entire cost
of the program and within ten or
fifteen years, the returns in taxes
alone to the county will be great,
he asserted.
He pointed out that today we
are educating the boys to 60 and
make a living elsewhere and that
as a result the county is losing a
high percentage of its most ag-
gressive and best educated youth.
practically all that our county
has to offer youth is its SOIL" he
said. "Ours is definitely an ag-
ricultural and livestock county
and we are teaching in our high
schools and nearby colleges ev-
erything except farming, while
most of our neighboring counties
and the other counties in the state
and south, are teaching agricul-
ture.
Making a good living on the
farm today is not like it was
twenty-five or fifty years ago.
The fertility of soil is less, our
land is eroded and successful
farming has become of a scien-
tific business, requiring greater
skill and knowledge than ever
before.
1T is the finest life there is, but
unless we teach the boys they
don't have much incentive to re-
main on the farm"
Mr.. Anderson explained that
the federal and state governments
pay most of the cost, and that ma
tional and state officials are urg-
ing more vocational instruction.
The speaker also suggested
four other goals that every one
in the county should work to-
wards. He commended the per-
sons responsible for the estab-
lishment of the livestock and
bean markets here and said we
should have more cooperative
marketing.
The timber in the county is
rapidly becoming exhausted and
Mr. Anderson urged a reforesta-
ton program.
A fourth goal suggested was
the securing of at least one large
industrial plant, and five, more
tourist business.
''Not every one wants to farm
and therefore we should have a
large industry" he said.
with our beautiful scenery,
ideal climate and the Parkway,
thousands and thousands of tour
lists will pass through Ashe coun-
ty after the war and we should
make plans to get them to stop
and stay in the county and spend
their money with U.S."
To accomplish this, a modern
hotel and golfing facilities will be
needed.
Following the talk, Levern
Johnson highly endorsed the
goals that were outlined and sug-
gested that the county turn over
the $4,000 that it recently re-
ceived from the whiskey sale to
the establishment of vocational
agricultural departments.
During the business session, the
Rotarians gave 1929 to the ma
tional Rotary relief fund and Ira
T. Johnston urged everyone to
register for civilian defense work.
President John Reeves presided
and Donald Johnson was guest.
