Edith Hoop
Crowned Queen
At Nome Carnival
The Kennel Club wound up
their activities for 1939 with a
bang-up carnival Saturday night
March 4. Highlight of the even-;
ing was the announcement of,
Miss Nome. The suspense as to
who it would be was broken at
midnight when the picture of I
a howling malamute was broken ;
and Miss Edith Hoop emerged
smiling and happy and was
crowned Queen by Kennel Club
President, George Madsen. She
then graciously presented cups:
and prize money to winners for
all three races. She also drew the
lucky number which won the
$500 Poke of G-oId. The winner
proved to be Wilfred Neilly,
who, at the suggestion of Mr.
Madsen, sang two songs which
were greatly appreciated by the
audignce.
“Miss Nome” is a charming
blonde, and is a true represent
ative of Nome. She is a senior in
the local high school and be
sides being a good student is
active in all extra-curricular act
ivities. Miss Hoop left this morn
ing for Fairbanks to compete
for the title of “Miss Alaska” at
the Ice Carnival. The best wishes
of every one in Nome go with
her. “Miss Nome” is the daughter
«f Mr. and Mrs. Herman Hoop,
sourdough residents of Nome.
Miss Hoop received 120 votes
for the coveted title; Miss Mar
garet Scott was second with 83;
and Miss Vesta Poison was third
with 53. It was erroneously stat
ed from the stage at one time
■that Mias Scott was third. Miss
Dorothy Nelson was fourth and
Miss Gertrude Arnold fifth.
Miss Hoop was presented with
a beautiful loving cup and each
of the other girls, who also ap
pealed on the stage, were pre
sented with golden spoons.
The Amateur Contest, with A1
Hjellen as master of ceremonies,
was won according to an ap
plause vote by Johnny Bay and
Kay Walsh with their tap-dance
number. Second was Miss Ellen
Mulvi'hill’s Hilly-Billy kiddies,
and third the Three Breasts of
•Spring put on by Larry Johan
sen, Bud Slock, and Paul Man
deville. Mr. Hjellen contributed
to the program with a song and
some card tricks.
The door prizes were awarded
at 10 o’clock The $10 prize was
won by Albert Martin with tick
et number 5113 and the $2.50
prize was won by Anthony Olson
with ticket number 5381.
Throughout the evening there
was dancing to Marge Whaley’s
Orchestra. Hot dogs were sold at
the back of the hall and the
punchboards, wheel of fortune,
spike driving contest, and ball
throwing contest, provided prac-[
tically every one with boxes ofj
candy and cigars.
At two o'clock Saturday after
noon, the last race of the sea-|
son was run. Howard Lobbley
came in first in this 7-mile speed
race. His fast team of part Sib
erians made the course in 40
minutes 30 seconds. Second place
was taken by Henry Karriker’s
! team. Ted Amarok and the team
j which had already won him two
victories had to content themselv
! es with third place. Ted, how
; ever, was handicapped by having
only 6 dogs. Fourth and fifth
places went respectively to Pete
Olson and Peter Berg.
1 The first quarter mile of the
course was well lined with spec-,
1 tators and camera fans. A chilly
wind caused many to pull up
their parka hoods, but nearly all
stayed for the finish.
Mr. Lobbley was presented
with a large silver loving cup as
prize at the carnival. Others to
1 receive cups were Miss Florence
, Kerr and Mr. Marvin Jordan
who pleased their sponsor Binks
Seiffert so very much by winning
the Cheechaceo Race on Sun
dap, Feb. 26. They drove Ted J
Amarok's team. These cups were
engraved with the date of race,
i the winners’ names and the ev
1 ent for which it was given.
Children who received prizes
from the Children’s Day Races,
Feb. 19, were Floyd Wheeler,
for skiing, Willie Asharuk and
Alfred Huff for skiing behind
; dogs, and Ted Amarok for the
fastest time in the Children’s
Day races.

CIGARET CAUSES $300,000 JUNEAU FIRE
A lighted cigaret, dropped on a mattress was blamed for this S300,
000 fire at Juneau, Alaska, which destroyed the Goldstien Building,
the largest in Alaska, and threatened destruction of the Juneau
business district. Juneau and Douglas fire departments aided by
volunteer citizens and members of the crew of the U. S. Coast
Guard Cutter Haida confined the fire to the building. The Juneau
harbor is in the background.

Chinese Pickets j
Prevent Loading
PORTLAND, Ore., March 6
7Pl —Longshoremen, apparently
taking their cue ceremoniously
from police and Chinese pickets,
not only refused to load scrap
iron for Japan on the Greek
freighter Stathatou, but also ex
tended waterfront ethics to em
brace a British grain carrier.
Forty-four dock workers halt
ed in deference to 500 apologetic
but. determined Orientals who j
lined up at terminal No. 4 to
protest a cargo of American junk
metal presumably destined for
munitions melting pots in Japan;
where it will be turned into
arms to be used in the conflict
with China.
An eight man gang passed thru
the line to load grain on the
British molorship Ardangorm.
Although the wheat was consign
ed to the United Kingdom, the
longshoremen decided the picket
line should include the entire
terminal and the men were turn
ed back.
Social Security
Bulletin-Depend
ent Children
JUNEAU — According to the
Third Annual Report of the So
cial Security Board as submitted
to Congress, Alaska is one of 8
States and Territories not part
icipating in the dependent child
ren feature of the Secial Secur
ity Act. Forty-four states and
the Territory of Hawaii have so
amended their dependent child
ren laws that they now are re
ceiving federal funds to help fin
ance the care of dependent child
ren.
Mr. Hugh J. Wade, Territorial
Director of the Social Security
Board in Alaska, states that it
will be necessary to amend the
present Alaska Mothers’ Pension
Law and broaden its coverage
before Alaska can receive feder
al funds to asssit in caring for
Alaska’s dependent children^
If these amendments are made
by the present legislature, the
federal government, under the
present Social Security Act,
could grant the Territory of Al
aska funds estimated at approxi-1
mately $20,000 for the next bi
ennium—assuming that the legis
lature appropriates the same
amount of money at this session
as they did for the last biennium.
Mr. Wade also points out that,
if the present Congress follows
the recommendations made by
the Social Security Board, the'
Teritory would benefit to a much
greater extent, inasmuch as the
Board has suggested to Congress
that they consider amending
Title IV of the Act so that the
federal government might in
crease its grants to aid states in
caring for their dependent child
ren.

REGULAR WEEKLY AIR
MAIL SERVICE, STATES
ALASKA, RECOMMENDED
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 —The
appropriations committee recom
mended an appropriation of
$213,000 for (a regrular weekly
air mail service between Seattle
and Juneau during the fiscal
year of 1940.
The committee said the report
accompanying the Treasury and
Postoffice appropriation bill for:
experimental flights the past:
year proved the feasibility of a |
permanent route.
The committee also suggested j
the House appropriate $125,000 to
continue star mail route in Al-1
aska.
Published records on the hear-J
ings held on the bill disclosed I
the Post Office Department did j
not expect to break even on the j
new air mail route but felt it j
would stimulate development of!
the Territory and speed up com j
munication and transportation!
between Alaska and continental j
United States.
Charles Graddic, superintend- j
ent of the air mail service, told |
the committee it will cost less;
to give Alaska such service than
to build roads and he said he be
lieved the Seattle-Juneau route
would be well patronized “by j
virtue of the fact there is not
such good boat service.”
In discussing its recommend
ed appropriation for Alaska star
routes the committee said there;
appeared to be “Some well found
ed doubt as to the feasibility of
extending the jurisdiction of the
Civil Aeronautics Authority to
the operation of all mail service
in Alaska as conditions in the
Territory are entirely different
from those existing in continen
tal United States in that all class
es of mail are transported by
planes in Alaska at regular rates
of postage. It doubtless will be
some time before the entire sub
ject can be adjusted, and new
rates fixed by the Authority.
“It is possible some additional
legislation may be required to
deal more adequately with the
situation as it is presented.”
At Seattle, Robert Bullwinkel,
manager of the Pan American
Airways said his company would
probably use four-engined flying
1 boats which would base at Lake
Washington. He said he was
phased with the House action.
