DIVIDEND CHECK s s,ss'Hia ss6 5'SS

view the article with disfavor and
irritation as she had come to do
with the last several features she'd
seen about him. She never saw
anyone so wrapped up in dumb
animals.
The conversation In the adjoining
room shifted, and after q moment
both men came out into Ellen's
office.
might as well give Jim his
dividend check, and you won't
have to mail ii out to him, Ellen"
Steve said.
Ellen went through the stack Of
checks looking for Jim's name, while
her heart pounded up in her throat.
Downing stock in connection with
your loan is the most attractive
feature about 1t at the end of the
year-eh, JimP" Steve chuckled in
satisfaction.
I'm not complaining at five per-
cent" Jim said.
Ellen thought she'd never find
the check. She did finally and
handed 1t to Jim. Jim looked at 1t
q second, then folded it neatly and
slipped it into his billfold.
Thanks" he managed to Ellen,
but he didn't look at her, and his
tone was definitely ignoring and
business.
Well, she didn't care. When Jim
was gone she slammed things
around and wondered what had
come over her anyway to think
about Jim Laird and get upset
everytime he came in the office.
She looked in the store windows
on her way home and tried to de-
eide on new dress. But when she
looked at a dress too long, it faded
away as If mist came over it
and Jim Laird's brown lean face
rose clear as day. She left the shop
windows in slight disgust, and Jim
Laird left the windows too. He
walked by her side all the way
home. He's an hallucination, she
thought, and hoped Larry down the
street would call for a date.
1t was about seven o'clock when
the knock came on her door. She
jumped to answer 1t, thinking Larry
had come without calling.
1t took Ellen a second to recog-
nize Jim Laird out of overaHS and
diIapidated brown felt hat. But
it wasn't his fashon-ad appear
ance that made her heart start
beating crafty against her side.
'Hello," he said, holding his hat
in his hands. 81 could have waited
until tomorrow and come to the
office, but 1 thought that since I
was passing by, I'd stop and give
you this" He opened his billfold
and handed Ellen check. He at
tempted a laugh. 'You gave me
someone else's dividend check"
Someone else's -" Because the
light was poor on the porch, she
asked him in. They stepped into the
room at the side of the hall.
Jim grinned down at her "You
gave me Jim Lawrence's check. /,
noticed that you had, but didn't say
anything. Your boss was there, and
it looked like break for me to
come to your house."
Ellen looked up from the check
in her hand Color deepened the
rouge on her cheeks.
Jim said, "Ive been wanting to
catch your boss out of the office so
that I could ask you if you'd like
to go somewhere at night"
Ellen's eyes held an odd glow.
She smiled. 81 hardly expected the
mistake to bring this result" she
said, feeling proud of her nerve,
and remembering the thought she
had when she gave him the wrong
check: He'd have to say something
to her then, and maybe if he got
a square look at her.

 "I told the Alaskans no, this land is not being withdrawn in connection with any displaced persons program-and say that not in dispraagement of the D-P program" Warne said.
 "The settlers will be our own veterans, who are interested in Alaska"
 The plan is to get 50 to 100 families in each group, assign them farms, and lay out a small townsite nearby. Town lots would be sold to the settlers, enabling them to live in their communities rather than on the land during the winter months.
 Warne said Alaskan farmers are eager to be admitted also to whatever federal aids-in the form of loans, land-clearing and and construction-are made avail able to settlers.
 Our reaction to proposals to expand legislation to include them is favorable" he said.
 Clearing the land in Alaska is back-breaking job, and if we can get big machinery in there on a project, we can accomplish as much in one season as a farmer

 If Congress fails to approve the program, he added, the withdraw als will be cancelled and the land reopened for the old fashioned homesteading by indivi d u s rather than by groups.
 Settlers have been taking up homesteads in the Anchorage area at the record-breaking rate of 100 a month this summer, Warne said. In the Fairbanks dis trict, they have been averaging 50 or 60 a month.

Traps Provide jQ Season Months

All three types of fishing gear are needed to continue Alaska's largest industry salmon fishing. Of the three, only traps provide much off-season employment. The equivalent of 4,OOO men in the, piling, sawmill, logging and wire netting industries work six to nine months a year to supply and maintain traps. Traps expand the seasonal nature of Alaska's salmon fishing. Don't vote any Alaska residents out of their jobs.

The Nome nugget., 1948-09-01
Here's why YOU Should VOTE to CONTINUE
 TRAPS:

l. Traps mean jobs-not just for 45 days but for six to nine months for approximately 4,000 people, mostly Aaskans.
 2. Traps are the best means of conserving Alaskas salmon
 3. Traps pay taxes Without them the Territory would have to levy additional taxes on all other Alaska businesses and individuals. 4. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow can neries to operate efficiently. Without traps, ct least 25 large canneres would close down because they would be stripped of their de- pendabe supply of salmon-thousands of men would lose their jobs.
 5. Traps are vital to Alaska's economy. Con6scate them and you undermine the Territory's sta. bility. An unstable region cannot develop diversified economy.
 6. Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry that they make it possible for packers to pay fishermen mdxinum prices. Confscate traps and you cut down these earnings. Nobody gains-everyone loses.
 '. Traps are vital in maintaining U. s. world leadership in the canned salmon industry. Con- fscate them and you so weaken Americas position that it will be possible for Russia, utilizing U. s. built floating canneries, to seize this prize in world trade. 8. Traps represent large investments in venture capital. Coniscate them and you discourage other industries from investing in Aaska's future.
 9. Traps provide healthy competition. Confiscate them and you establish a gear monopoly in the catching of salmon. 10. Traps, seines and gill nets ALL THREE TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to maintain Alaska's canned salmon pack Vary. ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds make it economically feasible to fish certain areas to full advantage only by means of traps

somethink to behold.
Last week when Senator
Homer E. Capehart ripped the
iron curtain off the Voice of

men hurriedly commented at a
press conference that the broad
casts were under contract to a
private ,broadcasting firm, there
by indicating the State Depart

At almost the same moment
Mr.. Truman sought to- abso1ve
the State Department of any

Dmocrat member Of the import
ant Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, Texas Senator Tom
Connally, was engaging in the
following debate on the Senate
Floor over the proper Of the in
vestigation Of the broadcasts:
Senator Capehart: Il again
say that the State Department is
taing the position that they con-
tracted for this work with the
broadcasting companies and that
they have no responsibility con-
corning it., If that be true, then
it is domestic affair"
Senator Connally: eff that is
the attitude OF the State Depart
ment. the State Department is
wrong. If 1 have an option to do
or not to do something, and I

In this material was the fol-

"He (Mr. Borgia) has never

agency of the Government"
Three minutes later in the
same debate Senator Capehart
introduced into the record a

Borgia to Congressman Taber
