young children. 1t is for their
sake I am now trying to keep
my marriage together, although
I really don't see how I can go
on with it.
I am a city-bred woman and
have a good education. After !
got out of college I went to teach
in a small community. There
I met my husband, who ran a
small and not-too-succesSful
farm. From the first I recog-
nized there were too many diff
ferences in our background. Dan
hasn't much education and his
tastes were very different from
mine. But has was Thoughtful
and intelligent and adored me.
I thought I could teach him
things and gradually the gap
between us would be bridged.
I'm afraid I haven't been very
successful.
We tried life on the farm for
five years. was miserable and
Dan finally agreed to move to
the city. Dan took a selling job
but wasn't too successful in it.
I opened a small antique busi-
ness, which turned out to be
quite successful. Dan resents
this. He is unhappy and wants
to move back to a farm-a life
I feel l can't take.

don't resent Leona's success with
her shop. What I can't stand is
the fact that can't support my
own family. I guess / just wasn't
cut out for city life. I don't
know my way around here. Does
Leona expect me to stay home
and take care Of the house and
kids while she supports us?
I love and respect my wife
and I was glad to learn things
from her, but I can't see that
We are so far apart in our tastes.
I always enjoy the books she
suggests and We are both great
music lovers. 1t seems as though
the only thing we really disagree
about is where to live. 1 feel we
can enjoy as many things on the
farm as we can in the city. True,
there isn't as much cultural ac-
tivity in some ways, but we could
make trips to the city every now
and then.
Leona believes that If went
to school here for a while,
would improve" myself enough
to enjoy and get along in city
life. But how can I trot of to
school while my wife supports the
family? She calls me stubborn,
but it seems to me she's at least
as stubborn as I am.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Logic appears to be on Dams
side Of the argument, and II
Leona is serious about wanting
to keep her marriage intact. she'd
do well to take a more objective
look at herself and her marriage

a matter Of taste, but her hus-

Sunarai Sword Murderer Hanged On Prison GallOws

WALLA WALLA, Wash, R Harvey John Collins, convicted of first degree murder for the sa- mural sword staying of a Tacoma motel operator March 21, 1855, was hanged on the Washington State Prison gallows yesterday.
 Collins last words before he dropped into oblivion were: q ask forgiveness for everything I've done"
 His last words were in direct contrast to the bold front he had maintained during his confne- ment after he was convicted of cutting down Andrew Stolen, "A, with Japanese samurai sword, a war souvenir, in front of Stolen's motel.
 Collins ate his last meal in the company of Rev. George McCabe, the Catholic chaplain at the pris- on. Father McCabe remained with Collins, in the company of guards, walked the last few yards from his death cell to the gallows, a rosary clutched in his hands.

Only } Days Left---And Then What !? THE PIONEER ROOF GARDEN

Frank Morris, president of Ig- loo No. l, Pioneers of Alaska, on being interviewed by represen- tative of the Nome Nugget, had this to say:
 we can't take you around the world in 80 days, but we can, and will, take you back in retrospec- ton with a portrayal of life in Alaska half a century ago.
 we are sparing no effort or expense to make this, the 18th Annual Roof Garden (which CO., incides with the i50th or Golden Anniversary of our Pioneer or ganization celebration in keep ing with the traditions and GUS toms of those early days. It is our purpose to reproduce as near as possible an evening of diversified entertainment in which young and old can participate, and which will bear the characteris- tics of genuine Pioneer hospitality and good fellowship"
 The Roof Garden has long been considered the opening of the winter social season in Nome. It comes at a period of the year when the people of the commit nifty are in need of an evening of relaxation and social entertain ment after a long and arduous season of hard work in mining, business, road construction and other lines of endeavor. It has been looked forward to as a time and occasion when the people old and young get together and fraternize in that truly Alaskan spirit reminiscent of early from tier days in the Northland.
 The evening will open with an entertainment appropriate to the occasion. The cast, composed of local amateur and professional talent, is working assiduously to make it a success.
 After the entertainment, the floor will be cleared for dancing; games of various kinds will be indulged in. Prizes, ranging from the unique, priceless, huge gold nugget to corn-fed turkeys, valu-
