NOME REPUBLICAN CLUB ADOPTS
 PLATFORM

The Republican Club of Nome and the Second Division adopted platform of eight blanks during a called meeting on Wednesday night in the City Hall.
 The steering committee had compiled the first seven of the blanks which were read and dis cussed when an eighth plank to assist fisheries in the Boring Sea area adjacent to the Seward Pe- ninsula was introduced.
 The proposal was made by Ralph Lomen and the plank was written into the platform and adopted with the other seven.
 The general coverage of the platform takes in roads, schools, airports, economy in government, health problems, assistance to aged and dependent, mining, and fisheries.
 Senator C. D. Jones told the group he had something to get off his chest. He stated that he was burned up at all of the press re- ports of the activities of the Re- publican legislators in the last session of the Alaska Legislature
 Jones also brought up the sub ject of taxation and lack of credit to the Second Division for the portion of gas and oil tax collect ed in the Division and paid direct ly to the Territorial Treasurer in Juneau. He said it was generally believed the First Division was getting credit for the taxes on their road and small boat harbor works A letter had been dis patched to the capital city to as- certain the status of Second Divi- sion road credits for funds.
 Chairman R. E. Long, president of the club, apologized for being a few minutes late for the meet ing as today was his wedding an niversary and he was unable to leave the party sooner. All present wished the Longs a long and happy welded life.
 The campaign for election was planned to begin at once with all the vim and vigOr of the organ ization in an effort to win all seats in the coming election.
 After several new members had signed the register and were welcomed into the club, the meeting was adjourned.

need is exercise. But for the
greater number of us the
combination Is necessary. OF
course, an individual with an
organic ailment such as heart
trouble should never try any
diet or exercise without first
consulting a physician.
First, the diet. Your meals
should be high In proteins,
for, although the protein
foods contain calories, they
help burn them up faster.
Train your appetite to desire
a moderate diet, eating simply
and refusing the sweet des-
serts. Learn to enjoy the non-
fattening foods, for, once you
have acquired a taste for
them, your weight problem Is
solved.

Not All Poets Have Long Hair

COME practical people sniff at
poets for being peculiar. Long
hairs" is a slang name for them as
for other people who know some
thing besides arithmetic.
AS a matter of fact, many poets
are very practical people them
selves; e. gineers. farmers and SOL
diers all have written poetry. The
poets of the Bible are Of many sorts.
II you will look into an edition Of
the Bible in which the poetic Sec
tons are printed as poetry Is print
ed in other books. you will be inn
pressed by the very large proper
ton of poetry. especially in the Old
Testament. The new Study Bible
or the American Revised Version or
Moffatt's translation will show this
at glance.
These Bible poems are Of Va
ri0us kinds. Some are war.
songs Judges 81, some are prov.
erbs (the book Of Pr0verbs),
drama Job, love-songs (the
Song Of Songs, odes Isaiah 49,.
prayers psalm 16), hymns for
public worship 1.-THE Psalms).
The writer's were never profess
sional poets. so far as we know. OF
the poems which are this weeks
lesson Scripture, two were written
by housewives. one by a shepherd
err, one or more by a soldier-king,
one by preacher (HabakkuD. and
only one lamentations possibly by
professional poet. The original
Hebrew book of Lamentations does
not claim jeremiah for it's author;
but If he was the writer. then it was
written by the most practical man
of his time.

Job openings for qualified

Leading ches, specialists of

periences in the treatment of
tuberculosis and other chest dis
eases.
The conference was sponsored
by the Dallas Branch Office of

DR.. Lee D. Cady, VAS South
western Medical Director, pre-
dicted that the Bandera con-
ference and others next year will
result in more uniform and i'm
proved treatment of tuberculosis
throughout the tri-state area.
A series of cases from VA, state

were discussed by the doctors.

to build up for ourselves, but
there are many obstacles we have
to take Unfortunately, in the
average German there is stu
some kind of hidden fear and un-
certainty concerning our future.
We were cheated so often by our
former governments that we can't
help the feeling that there is no.
body we can turn to and that
in each friendly gesture we sus-
pect a bad intention. The pre-
sent political situation in Ger
many is certainly not apt to make
us feel any better. There is still
the big menace in the east, sus-
pended over our head like the
sword of Damocles. There are
many millions of Germans VINO
gave up their homesteads and
fled to the west panic-stricken by
inhumanity of the bolsheviks VINO
are not better than the Nazis at
their worst.
It takes a lot OF understanding
to realize our present problems,
and that's why your report ap-
pealed so much to me. But we
won't lose our hope as long as
there are representatives OF the
Western Democracies assisting us
morally and economically IN
building a democratic state and
safeguarding our lives and pro-
perry against the new and dan
gerous dictatorship from the east.
