Entered in the Post Office in Nome as Second Class matter. J/T' ALASKAN AIR RAIDS Timely resolutions have been sponsored by the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce looking to the establish ment by the federal government of adequate airplane bases and landing fields in Alaska. The Anchorage Chamber has endorsed the resolutions. The Juneau Chamber, which inaugurated the movefnent, has done likewise, and chambers of other cities doubtless will support the rpovement. Other organizations in the Territory can help the move ment greatly by adopting similar resolutions and sending them forward. Chambers of Commerce of Pacific coast cit ies which derive a great benefit from Alaskan trade and who are vitally interested in the development and safety of this Territory should do as much. The resolutions ask for nothing unreasonable. In fact, the federal government has indicated its interest in Al aska. The sending of the army bombing fleet and the navy squadrons to Alaska-last summer doubtless were indications of the interested the federal government takes in such mat ters in Alaska. The administration should be supported in its broad program. - Alaska, as Col. H. H. Arnold, commander of the bomb ing fleet which was here last summer, says in a letter refer red to in another column of this issue, will be set back 20 years at least if pot provided with proper bases and fields. It will not be long until Congress meets. The necessary endorsements to obtain favorable considerations in Con gress should be forwarded now. Various boards and com missions may also meet in the near future and any support ing materiala forwarded now will be a timely aid. Every or ganization sending in resolutions in line with the movement! will be rendering a real service—Anchorage Times.

One good thing about the declining birth rate, perhaps, may be the fact that public officials will have fewer relativ es to put on the public payrolls..

BASES AT NOME AND CANDLE ' V*1 * THAT WONDERFUL ADVERTISING A smartly dressed, smooth talking gentlemen has drop ped in to discuss a few matters with John Doe the grocer. It develops that the gentlemen is also interested in having Grocer Doe buy a very unique and highly effective advertis ing campaign. “This advertising is something different,” he tells the grocer. “You can’t get it anywhere else. Your newspaper can’t provide it. This will be something exclusive with you. Just sign here.” But before signing here,' there, or anywhere else, it might be smart to stop and ask yourself how anything that good escape the men who spend millions of dollars yearly for advertising. Men who spend millions for advertising also spend thousands to test their advertising and be sure that they are getting their money’s worth. No promising proposition or 1 scheme is blindly turned down. They waste proportionately less of their advertising money than most small advertisers because they seek results—not something different. General Motors, Henry Ford, the big oil refiners, depart ment stores, and food men don’t spend their money for ad j vertising in home newspapers because they like the editorial i policy or because they haven’t been offered hundreds of schemes and novelties. They advertise in newspapers for re : suits—to make money. Gadget advertising has no place in the retailer’s budget, unless he can afford to be more wasteful than the big boys. The success or failure of business concerns depend up on their relations with the public. Cheerfulness and courtesy attract business to a store. . Stores will rise or fall with the reputations they main tain. The building of a business is an endless chain of doing one thing after another to make it a great center of service. • Business concerns appeal to the public through ad vertising. They tell the public in a pleasing manner what they have to sell. The modern business man knows that the best quality is good for his customers. Newspaper advertising is the best means of obtaining the steady sale of merchandise.

C "DON’T TKY TO PROVE THAT THE MAN WITH A NEW IDEA IS WRONG. HELP HIM PROVE HE IS RIGHT.” .The old saying: “Adversity Makes Us All Akin”, was never more vividly exemplified than during and since the calamity experienced by Nome’s citizenry just a few short weeks ago. At the height of th«f conflagration, when the fire demon was devouring everything in sight, everyone forgot past diff erences as well as personal safety and gave his efforts and strength for the assistance and protection of his neighbor. What an ideal city Nome will build into if this consid erate spirit is perpetuated. It can be. It is simply g'C* community demonstration of Hie old “GOLDEN RULE”. If there were no better or higher reward offered for such a utopia, the advertisement in itself would be profitable for Nome would soon become known and famous as “THE MODEL CITY”, and it moral credit fixed at the highest rating.
