:. \ ~C-EYE VIEW OF NOME
By CPL. W. D. STARNES

Last week we said that Old Man Winter was just about arund the corner and this week he's so. close that a person can almost reach out and touch him. Those flurries of snow that we all witnessed this past few days have given all of us a gentle hint to dig deep in that locker and bring up the old long handles. And woe be the guy that can't find his.
 For some reason or other, the town just doesn't seem the same as it did a year ago. Maybe it's just our imagination and then again maybe things have changed One thing to be sure has hap pened and that is the way we have become a part of things. At first it seemed rather awkward to be shopping in strange stores, staring wide-eyed at the goods on the shelves such as carved ivory E. native-made slippers :. mukluls fox skins -. walrus hides and what have you. Now we pass a display of such things and instead of look ing wild-eyed, we more or less seem to observe it a bit closer for the quality as though we might be an expert in the line .. And according to some of the stories floating about, a few of the fel- lows have. But then. it just goes to show one how close association can make things become a part of ones self.
 It's also quite amazing the way people in these parts observe time. It's no longer yesterday or tomorrow" . last month or next month-but instead, it's ''be- fore the boats arrive"- and after the boats leave" But this. too soon becomes part of our regular terms of expression so come as 1t may, we're getting a bulg- ing .noggin' full of experiences that money just couldn't buy.

RED ARMY IN OFFENSIVE

MOSCOW, Oct. 18.-(AP)-The Red Army rolled forward on two new offensives east of the Dnie- per river to clinch their hold on both. banks and threatening to 1isintegrate the entire Crimea front, battle line dispatches said.
 Soviet forces were pouring through the widening gap in the German defenses inside the Dnie- per bend in the Kremenchug sec- tor behind Dniepro -Petrovsk
 Important new bridgeheads were simultaneously established north of Kiev by crossing the Dnieper in hhe Gomel sector to capture Loev.
 The Red Army forces consoli- dated this bridgehead today and pushed forward against furious German resistance. Both drives menaced Kiev by encirclement.
 The Soviets reported they were encountering German reserves whihh were being brought from Poland, France, Netherlands and Denmark but added that they were pushing forward irresist- ably. -

FIRE DEPT. CALLED SATURDAY

E
 Fire caused considerable dam age to the home of MT. and Mrs. Carl Wuorinen, one of the GAIA houses on B street. ., .. The alarm was turned in by Guy Boyd who was checking up on telephone short and discov- cred that the short was caused by the fire burning the phone cord. The fire department ar rived in quick time.
 It is believed the fire started from an electric phonograph which then ,aught fire to the overstuffed furniture, burned through the ceiling and into the attic. The entire house inside was scorched and smoke-damag- ed, including furniture and per sonal effects.
 There was considerable water damage, as the smoke was so thick the fire could not be ef- fectively fought otherwise.
 Two little dogs and a canary, pets of Mrs. uorinen, were suf- located in the heavy smoke of the fire.
 Friends of the Wuorinens saw to it that they have place to stay until other arrangements can be made.

JAP OFFICIALS PROMISE FIVE YEAR WAR

MORMUGAO, Portugese India, Oct. 18.-(AP)-Japanese off cials appear to expect Germany to collapse, but declare that the war will continue for at least five years, according to a Chilean cor respondent returning on the eg- change ship.
 He asserted that the Japanese position in case of the German collapse, will not be affected.
 Japan is prepared to stand alone but that Japanese officials feel that the German fate so far in the war has greatly affected the Japanese moves. In outward appearance, the Japanese people still feel that they are going to win the war.

ALASKA DAY OBSERVED

what IS now the territory or Alaska was until 1867 known as , Russian America. part of the Russian Empire.
 The name Alaska is truly h keeping with it's global position and it's meaning "a great country or continent.
 Michail Gvozdef discovered it in 1730, and was recognized as part of Russia. In 1855 the en- peror of Russia, fearing the ag- gression by the British, of Rus sian America, offered it to the United States for price. The of fer was declined. At other times negotiations were opened and closed without success until Will liam Seward, secretary of state. on October. l8.@ 1867 (now known as Alaska Day), with, several staunch, farsighted supporters, presented a treaty of purchase, of Alaska. which, was accepted for the sum, of %. per acre. for it's 360 million acres, or round fig ure of $7,2O0,OOO small price to pay for a country. which has re- turned on the investment a yield of two billion in exports. from its industries and resources, princi- pally fishing, mining and lumber and furs.
 From4.tae-d date, of purchsae of Alaska the country was known as the District of Alaska until August "A, 1912 when Congress approved the Organic Act creat- ing constitution, whereby the Territory of Alaska could be gov erned by executive legislative and judicial departments within the territory.
 In addition to these so-called values the Territory of Alaska is in the. imelight today as one of the most important centers on the world globe of aviation. In the early part of the twentieth cen tury, far-sighted Americans have seen the possibilities of Alaska as a strategic air center and fort ress of defense for North Amer ica. and for air trade and travel routes of the future. |,
 For all this and more, pioneers with spirit to win in new country, and to make home for posterity, have worked, and fought and died. And have brought this territory of ours into a position of world importance. It is no longer an infant terri tory". It is full-fledged, think ing, striving, advancing unit in today's own fast-moving world, capable of deciding its destina- ton whether it be for or against statehood or any other pertinent fact, aim or change in its fu- ture designs or attitude, relative to it's own wellLbeing.
 We today are fighting for Alaska, for what it stands, among the democratic peoples of the world. Freedom for its people to engage in private enterprise, and make full use of all the freedoms which are the birthright of every living person, friend or enemy, aggressor or oppressed.
 This 76th anniversary is meet ing place of the past, present and future, and the world fright of way" through the spirit of Alaska Day. =,

ALASKA

On October eighteenth
 Seventy-six years ago, Alaska was bought from Russia
 A land of ice and snow. And Seward was it's buyer,
 He strove for it alone. People called it his folly Said it would melt and be gone. For it he paid thousands of dol
 lars, A waste of money they thought. But they were surprised at the s.furs,
 The riches and gold it brought = But now we are glad we have it And glad for Seward too.- We are proud to have Alaska
 Under the red and white and blue.
