The regular dividends are
primarily a return to the pol

premium payments since t h e
death rate among CT policy
holders continues to be lower
than the rate upon which the
payments were established by
law.
Denny reminded policyhoid-
ers that the preparing a II d
mailing of dividend payments
are automatic and require nc
correspondence from veterans
or their families. In fact, such
correspondence might delay
the dividend distribution pro-

Greek God
cronus Became
Time Symbol

Chronometry is the science
of measuring time - project
that has interested man since
his earliest days on earth.
The word comes down to US
associated with Cronus, t h e
Greek god once hailed as lord
of the universe, as a corrup-
ton of the word "cronos"
which means time.
Cronus supposedly was war
ned that one of his children
would dispose of him, and so
vowed to devour them at birth.
When a child, Zeus was born,
Cronus' wife. Rhea hid the
child away and presented a
stone to Cronus instead.
Everything ended happily,
according to the legend. Cron-
us disgorged the stone, along
with previous child he h a d
swallowed. Zeus later dethron-
ed his father and became t h e
chief god of the Greek pam
theon.
Cronus? AS we said earlier,
because of the similarity of
names, he became confused
with the word for time. Some
one placed an hour glass in his
hand, someone else added a
scythe and the world came to
know him as Father Time.

IN DAYS OF OLD

Researchers say that early
Greeks and Romans were quite
particular about New Year
toasts-who made them, who
poured. and what was said. The
right to make a toast at some
gathering or ceremony was re-
served for an official or other
important parsonage.
A toast to ones lover w a S
popular in Rome, and it w a S
custom to drink one glass for
each letter of a sweethearts
name.

 Going back, Johnson pointed out, the Northern Commercial Com pany had small trading stocks even during the Gold Rush and prior to that. These stocks were put in the hands of local individuals. One was the late Stephan Ivanoff. When gold was discovered in Nome, many miners rushed from the Klondike by way of trail through Unalak- feet.
 It was also noted that during the season of navigation on the Yukon River, persons missing steam boat at St. Michael could return to Unalakleet and go on foot across the portage to Kaltag where they could catch the steamer.

Nome Industrial Report :!

In a special interview with the NUGGET, two of Nome's business leaders disclosed particulars of a major real estate transaction which will have a marked effect on this community's economic stability and growth It has been substantiated finally, following much rumor and speculation in financial circles, that Dick Munz-Galleher has sold his West end office building, for merly housing Munz Airlines, to the firm of the Nome Insurance Agency. The details of the sale are undisclosed, but it is reported that the capital changing hands will run well into two figures.
 In this exclusive interview with MT. Pete c'InSure with MeO Hahn, it is revealed that this firm plans to expand into these commodious quarters in the near future" It was determined that the motif of the office building will be changed to more nearly align with that dis played by other insurance firms of this calibre.
 We doubt that interior decora- tors will be brought in," stated Hahn, "as we intend to employ the talents of local artists exclusively. "There will be- commented the insurance tycoon cautiously, a cer- tain amount of remodeling done in order that these new quarters uphold the dignities of the City of Nome, and be a credit to the finan- cial world in which our firm plays an important role"
 Although plans are not yet com pleted, it is contemplated that the structure will be an outstanding example of post-1935 Nome archl- lecture.

Mobster Refused Bail

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department said today Vito Geno- vese is not eligible for release from prison on bail pending reconsidera- tion of his 1859 narcotics convic- tiOn.
 A Department spokesman gave this opinion after study of the Su- preme Courts order today that the New York Court of Appeals consider the case. The Department had expressed the view earlier that GenOvese, reputed leader of the crime syndicate COsa Nostra, could apply for bail but that whe- ther it was granted was discre- tionary with the courts.
 The spokesman said a more con- sidered conclusion is that until the lower courts act, the 1859 con- victiOn remains in effect and that Genovese must remain in prison. He was sentenced to Is years and is now in the LeavenWorth, Kans., Federal Prison.
