FAIR NOTES
The Fair building has been a
beehive of activity, the past sev
eral days—booths are all ready,
decorations completed, quite a
few exhibits received and check
ed in, but it looks like the bulk
of them will come in as usual
on opening day.
In order to facilitate matters,
the receptionists and checkers in,
will be at the Fair Building to
night from 7 to 10:30 o’clock, and
we ask those who can convenient
ly do so, to bring over their ex
hibits tonight. There will be a
night watchman in the building
from tonight on until the Fair
building is cleared of exhibits
following Fair week.
One of the new departments of
the Fair is illicting an enthus
iastic response—Amateur movies.
As this is the first time for this
feature, it has been a trifle diffi
cult to formulate the rules and
regulations for this division.
However, it has been decided
that each exhibitor be limited to
10 minutes, rather than to a stat
ed amount of footage. Also those
wishing to enter more than one
roll of film shall mark them 1st,
2nd, 3rd choice, and entrants are
requested to mark each spool
with their names or initials.
There will be projectors for
both size films at the Fair Build
ing, but those wishing to bring
along their own projectors may
do so.
Mrs. Ralph Reat, Supt, of this
division, wlil be assisted by her
son Lee, and the judges are; Mrs.
Anna Stangroom and Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Nelson.
The exhibit of Amateur mov
ies will be a feature of Thursday,
opening night, and also on Fri
day evening.
We all regret the sudden ill
ness of Aben Shallit, for the
I
past year in charge of the Terri
torial Assay Office located in
Nome, and Supt. of the Fair’s
Mining exhibit. Aben was oper
ated on last Friday for acute
appendicitis and is convalescing
at the Maynard Columbus Hos
pital, but it will be another week
or so before he can be up and
around. Jimmy Barnett is pinch
hitting for Abe and will preside
over the mining exhibit.
While Nome is famed for its
gold production there is another
crop that is far more worth
while—Nome’s babies. These lit
tle bundles of sweetness and in
nosence are not only the pride
and joy of their parents, but a
source of delight to entire com
munity, for there is nothing in
this troubled world of ours more
appealing to the heart and finer
instincts than a little child.
The Baby Parade will take
place at the Fair Building on
Friday afternoon at 3:45 p.m.
Mrs. Wm. Barbar, supt. of this
division and the Fair manager
have named the following to act
as ' judges: Mrs. Reta Harper,
Mrs. Grace Mahan, Miss AJice
Hopland, George Madsen, James
Burnett.
We regret to announce that for
a number of reasons the outdoor
parade has been called off. While
an outdoor parade in this far
northern town should properly
be held during the warmer sea
son we had hopes that sufficient
interest could be aroused so as to
hold one even this late in the
Fall. It seems however, that we
were wrong in our surmise, and
though a grand out-door parade
is usually an intergal part of any
Fair Week, we will have to strug
gle along this year without it.
Maybe the ice cream cones for
the kids next Friday afternoon
at the Fair Building will partial
ly fill the void and somewhat as
suage the childish fondness (also
found in most grownups) for the
pomp and pagaentry oi parade.
Neva Whaley, chairman of the
Fair’s entertainment committee
wishes to announce that a re
hearsal of all acts of Saturday
night’s big show will be held
Thursday at the Nome Public
at 1 p.m.
Mrs. Ellis Hedson, superintend
ent of the Fair’s Home Econ
omics division wishes to an
nounce that the cullinary arts
display will be received in the
following order: Thursday, all
breads, 2 crust pies, applesause,
spice and devil food cakes, fruit
and chicken salads, jams, jellies,
and jarred exhibits -ua ETAOI
and candies; canned and jar ex
hibits. Friday, all other pies,
cakes, and salads.
An announcement of general
interest, while somewhat belated
ly made, is that on Sautrday af
ternoon at 2 p.m. a fur garment
fashion show will be held at the
Fair building. There will be two
divisions, native and white, with
pictures taken of the entire en
semble at the conclusion of the
show. These pictures will be sent
to the States and will receive na
tional attention through the
press. Mr. E. B. Fisher, Lena
Luke, and Mary Kite will be in
dharge of the Native division,
and A1 Carey, Miss Hopland and
Miss Stubkjer will be in charge
of the other—more about this in
Friday’s paper.

acted as chairman. Officers and
Directors were all present with
the exception of Treas. Harry
Gnbrielson and director Ed Seid
enverg.
A communication from the
Territorial Chamber enclosed the
minutes of its meeting Oct. 8 and
advised that biennial meeting of
'hat body will be held on Jan
uary 20 and February 22. and
that this chamber is entitled to j
t)e represented by three repre
sentatives.
The Chamber, upon motion,1
decided to sponsor the Dedica
tion of the new Federal Build-1
ing on or before the fifteenth of
November. Mr. Sandegren who
was present, expressed the view,
that he expected all the federal;
agencies to have occupied by the
building somewhat before that J
date. The Post Office occupied
its new quarters Monday.
Postmaster Guy E. Mish, in re
ferring to the convenience and
spaciousness, called attention to i
the fact that the incoming boat j
now enroute to Nome, is carry-;
ing more than twenty-five thou- j
sand pounds of mail, and that
anyone can see that the space al
lotted is not any too large.
He further commented that!
commencing the first of the mon-;
th, the P. A. A. will begin their
bi-weekly mail contract for the
winter months, which provides
twelve hundred pounds twice a
week. Also in the discussion, it j
was brought out that the Nome
Post office will become the cen-,
ter of the mail distribution for
Seward Peninsula, and Nome
should be proud of the facilities
which we now have in the new
Federal Building, which will en
able the Department to concen
trate all the Northwestern Alas
ka mail in the Nome Post Office.
ine entertainment committee
of the Chamber has been in
structed to take charge of the
dedication ceremonies and the
secretary has been directed to
invite (lie Nome City Count1'! to
join the Chamber of Commerce
in ’he same manner as they did
when the Corner Stone wras laid.
Chairman Code of Roads Com
mittee reported that Ross J. Kin
ney of the Alaska Road Commis
sion will present at the next
meeting a chart of the Key High
way and laterals from Bunker
Hill to Taylor Creek. He also
reported it is the intention of the
Alaska Road Commission to re
place the Nome River Bridge
with a steei structure in order to
facilitate and permit the ship
ping of heavy machinery into thfe
interior of Seward Peninsula.
Roy Edwards who has been
mining in the upper Kougarok re
ported his progress and confiden
ce in the Kougarok. He said he
is completely sold on the count
ry. Edwards believes the Koug
arok will become the greatest
producing section in Alaska and
strongly urged assistance in fac
ilitating mining and lowering
costs of operations.
He volunteered the informa
tion thal when Fox Bar is reach
ed by the road now going in. the
present cost will be cut in two.
He believes that the Nome
route is the cheapest and best,
and that Nome is the ideal spot
for freight transfer as the Nome
harbor opens up earlier and clos
es later than any other section
in Northwestern Alaska. When
it is considered that all facilities,
accomodations, repair shops, fin
ancial and federal centers are at
Nome, no other route is possib
le, that will compare.
H. G. Miller, chairman of the
aviation committee recommend-1
ed to the legislative committee I
the following suggestions to be
incorporated in the Legislative
report.:
1— A cross-runway which will
require about $5000 or a taxi
strip to the old field for some
what less.
2— About one thousand dollars
for smoothing off a bar at Bunk
er Hill and extending the rail
road about 1000 feet to the bar
for freighting to the Kougarok,
from the end of the railroad.
3— A new road approach with
more parking space for cars and
planes.
4— $1000 annually for upkeep
and maintenance on the field.
5— $1000 for the Dahl Cr. Field
as per petition of August 1, 1938.
6— A revolving beacon to be
mounted on the Federal Build
ing.

pressed the opinion that the sug
gestions were somewhat modest,
and that Nome should really de
mand attention for its airplane
industry, inasmuch as the fed
eral government is actively inter
ested in promoting aviation fac
ilities thruout Alaska. Nome is
entitled to its share as one of
the key fields of the Territory.
