his many friends, Tuesday night
became the possessor of 50 tick
ets- on the big doings that is tc
come off down at Nenana late
in April or early in May, accord
ing to March 29th issue of the
Fairbanks News-Miner. Nick
picked them up at the Horseshoe

executive secretary of the Car
nival, conducted the contest.
Fifty more tickets will be giv
en at the Pioneer Hotel tonight
in the series of contests being
sponsored by the Carnival. All
that is required to get in on them
is to pay a small fee and have
the name entered at any of the
following business houses: Pio
neer Hotel, Horseshoe cigar store,

Bar, California Bar, Owl Bar,
Tavern Bar or Co-op Fountain.
The nice thing about the con
tests is that the net proceeds go
to the Carnival which in turn
spends the money locally, and
everyone has a lot of fun. It
works out in such a way that
what is lost in the profits is
gained in the losses.

EBB TIDE AND ICE PUT
FROZEN FOOD AT DOORS
STONY BROOK, N. Y. —Fish
ermen’s dreams came true when
5,000 sea bass—left by an ebbing
tide — were trapped as a small
lagoon froze over.
All that 400 resident of thus
Long Island community had to
do was select the fish they want
ed—and chop it out with an ax.
The two men who- discovered the
fish chopped out 1,000 pounds—
already salted and iced—before
their disclosure started a “fish
stampede" among the neighbors,
Several persons chopped their
way through the ice and got a
soaking. The fish weighed from
three to more than fourteen
pounds each.
Every town has a tew citizens
who are too proud to trade at
home.
