Pioneer Roof
Garden Be Meld
December 17
Pioneer Roof Garden Under
Way. Date Is Set. And
Committees Appointed
Once more the mother Igloo
of the Pioneers of Alaska. Nome
Igloo No. 1, steps out with the
assistance of her sons and dau
ghters to make the wellkin ring
with wassail and merriment on
the occasion of the Igloo's an
nual Roof Garden to be held
next December 17th at the Pub
lic School Auditorium.
The Pioneers of Alaska have
always been noted for their un
bounded enthusiasm, both for
their organization, and for their
adopted land. Their valient spir-.
it staunch courage and abiding
faith in the future of their great,
Territory is a source of unfail
ing wonderment to the newcom
er, who all too frequently mere
ly sees in Alaska the opportun
ity for a quick stake, then back
to the States leaving nothing be
hind to mark his passing.
Of all the purely Alaskan or
ganizations formed at the turn
of the century, the Pioneers of.
Alaska alone remains, with 29
Igloo- active from Nome to
Ketehik '% and a membership of
severa thousand. Nome should
be pa: ilarly proud of and loy
al to s great Pioneer Order,
for Ni was its birthplace and
Igloo N 1 its cradle.
One the oldest and most en
joyab! vents of Nome’s winter
social -tivities is the Pioneer
Roof Garden. It takes a real old
timer to recall the first of these
affairs, only interrupted through
the years by the late great fire
of 1934. The same high qaulities
of enthusiasm and bouvaney of
spirit that has always marked Al
aska's Pioneers is reflected in the
staging of these annual RoofJ
Gardens, for while these qual
ities may be intangible, no af
fair of the nature of the Annual
Roof Garden can be a success
without them and we have yet to
see the time when those who at
tended did not invariably say
that the Pioneer Roof Garden
was the highlight of the winter
social season.
At a meeting held Wednesday
evening, presided over by Presi
dent elect Clias. Code, the follow
ing committees from Igloo No. 1
and the Womens' Auxiliary were
selected to stage the Annual Roof
Garden for the enjoyment and
entertainment of the entire com
munity.
