CONE NATION INDIVISIBLE'

Americas number one veteran and Legionnaire,
President Eisenhower, has issued formal proclama-
ton calling upon a our citizens to observe Thursday
November H. 1854 as Veterans Day. ION that day., it
says 'et us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all
those who fought so valiantly the SEAS in the air.
and foreign Shores to preserve heritage of free
DOM and let reconsecrate ourselves to the task OF
promoting an enduring peace so that their efforts Shall
not have been in van.'
The Presidents proclamation cites custom of
memoralizng November II as the anniversary of the
arrnstice ending World War and suggests the greater
appropriateness of the name, Veterans Day las ap-
proved by Congress last June st) since in the inter-
vening years the United States has been involved in
two other great military conflicts which have added
millions of veterans living and dead to the honor rolls
of this Nation >.
In directing government officials to see that the
flag displayed on all public buildings this day. the
President is at least limiting at what the rest OF
should do this occasion when all veterans, all vet
Grams organizations and the entire citizenry will wish
to join hands in the common purpose We'd better
get up those colors
Across the land, in Cities towns and villages,
observance arrangements parades and other programs
will be in the hands of joint committees representing
the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
Amvets and Disabled American Veterans And, CO.
incidentally at Is metropolitan centers from the
Dodgers baseball park in Brooklyn NY, to the Rose
Bowl in Hollywood the Legion will officiate, at the
request of Attorney General Browne in ceremonies
following the induction of nearly $4,000 Americans
into the full rights and privileges of citizenship
It is appropriate that all Americans the newest
as we'll the Oldest participate in Veterans Day. For
thing thousands OF our new citizens are veterans
who fought under the American flag in two world
and in Korea-even though this country had no claim
on them And for another, the of those who are
naturalized ON this first Veterans Day may we'll be
marching themselves on Veterans Days to come.

Nome Chamber
Discusses AVA,
Holiday Closings

The regular meeting of the
Northwestern Alaska Chamber of
Commerce was called to order by
President Boyd Harwood follow
ing luncheon at the Polaris Cafe.
There were IA members present
and three guests. Rev. Reeves Ha-
vens and Rev. Curtis johnson
needed no introduction to the
group. DR.. Langsam introduced
Mr.. Silverberg of the Nome High
School, who was attending for the
first time.
Mr.. Dewey Goodrich brought
up the problem of closing stores
on holidays. He stated that the
chamber should take action to see
that if one store observes a holi-
day that other establishments also
observe the same closure. It was
suggested that possibly Sunday
hours could be observed rather
than closing the store, since it
places hardship on the stores
whose employees come under the
payment of wages on holidays in
accordance with generally accept
ed union practices.
Mr.. A. Polet brought up the
problem of the Alaska Visitors
Assn. He stated that he thought
the chamber president should ap-
point a committee to get this
underway. 1t was brought to the
groups attention that committee
had been appointed, meeting
held, and letter written to the
Alaska Visitors Assn. for data in
order to properly conduct drive.
At the present time the chairman
of the committee is out of town
and it was decided to leave this
committee as appointed so that
they could carry out this project.
Dist. Atty. Russell Hermann
told of his recent trip to Washing
ton, DC. He said he met with the
other district attorneys from the
territory and that they covered
the various problems in their dis
tricts. He said he also checked
with other agencies that have to
do with territorial problems and
that he met with the Employment
Security Commission on employ
ment regulations. He also stated
that he received information to
the effect that plans for a new
Federal Building for Nome had
reached the draft board status.
