DEMOCRATIC MEETING
A well attended, representa
;ve meeting of the Nome Demo
ratic Club was held in the City
TTnl] on Friday evening, Jan. 30.
We observed that the member -
-hip in attendance was not con
fined exclusively to men. Several
ladies were in evidence, and
parlcipated in the discussions,
and one or more were being con
sldered as candidates to be filed
in the coming Primaries. Whe
ther or not any of the fair sex
wi 1 finally enter the race re
mains to be seen. However, there
will be a full Democratic ticket
in the field and judging from the
correspondence which we heard
read, including telegrams „from
the various precincts throughout
the Second Division, the party
members are apparently very ac
tive and preparing to register
the largest vote in years.
Several committee were ap
pointed to cover the activities
connected with the forthcoming
election, membership, correspond
ence, etc. Another meeting is
scheduled to be held in the near
future.

PIONEER CARD SERIES
Wednesday. February 4th, 9
P. M. at the Odd Fellow’s Hall, is
the date, hour and p’ace that the
first of the 1942 Pioneer Card
Series will be held.
Due to the abnormal conditions
which prevailed here and thru-1
out the nation this winter, social
activities have been neglected
or at least overlooked. This of
course was right and proper con
sidering the seriousness of the
situation. However, in order to,
keep fit physically for any emer
gency which might arise, it is
imperatve to indulge in a certain
amount of social pleasures which
rest the mind and help to remove
and even prevent, that feeling of
hysteria or fear which might de
ve’op from continued serious re
flection on what might have hap
pened or what possibly can hap
pen. “All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy.” There-1
fore, we see no better way to in- ]
dulge in an evening of diversfied
entertainment than to attend this,
series on next Wednesday even
ing and continue throughout the
tournament. You will enjoy the
friendly competition of the card
games; the prizes offered will
claim your attention; the enter
tainment will afford relaxation,
and the refreshments will, as
usual, be delectable.
