his address, an informative
and interesting picture OF
the education factor in con-
neefion with other activities
Of the institution he so ably

Immediately preceding the
discourse by Mr.. Chavis, the
club voted to make a dona-
ton to a fund to be raised
concentrating the meeting
at the home of William Webb,
abolitionist, in 1859.
The old Webb home, then
located at 1876 E. Congress
st. (old number) was the
scene of a historic gathering
composed of John Brown,
Fred Douglass, and a score
of leading Detroit citizens of
color, anti-slaviteS. A move
ment is on foot to have a
marker placed at or near the
location of the old Webb
home on E. Congress st.
Favorable action was taken
in connection with members
of the block club, light their
respective porch lights al
night, as fall and winter
months approach. The organ
iation hopes to brighten the
darker areas of the block be
tween Brush and Oakland
streets, in the effort to pre-
vent vicious attacks by Grim
inals upon residents of the
street and other citizens
abroad at night within this
area.
Refreshments were served
following close of regular or
der of business of the or
ganization.

Pioneer Convention Souvenir Program Is Hot Off The Press

Souvenir programs for the first State Pioneer Convention were distributed today to the merchants and business houses in Nome who contributed so generously to make the occasion a memorable one for the many visitors who start arriv- ing today.
 One advertiser, the very first one to take a full page, will not find his ad in the book, through an error by the printers, who ex- press their apologies. This was Les Keller, who has taken over the juke boxes and merchandise machines which were operated under Arctic Sales by the late "Juke Box Steve" His support to the Pioneers is indeed appreciated. His ad appears in this issue of The Nugget.

Three Local CAP Cadets Take OrientatiOn Flights

Civil Air Patrol orientation flights have been taken by Cadets Grant Doyle, Thomas Boucher and Douglas Lee.
 The cadets earned these flights by successfully completing pro- gressive levels of study and in- struction in Aviation Education. The flights demonstrated func- tions of controls on aircraft; each basic maneuver being explained before execution.
 When the cadets were momen- tarily uncertain whether they weighed zero pounds or 300, and not sure their stomachs were properly located, they were ex- periencing mild negative and pos itive G factors involved in flight and motion. They also found that in aircraft making a 360 degree turn would get into it's own prop wash"
 Local teenagers, through parti- cipating in the COP cadet edu- cational and training program are learning to be air-wise citizens for the dawning aero-space age.
