LATEST FROM TIIE ROOF
GARDEN COMMITTEE
, Although no official proclama
tion has yet b:en issued by
! Mayor Miller declaring Decem
| ber 28th a municipal holday,
I nevertheless judging from the
; many inquiries concerning the
(Pioneer Roof Garden which is
jscheduled to take place on that
i date, it promises to be a gala af
| fair, reminiscent fo the good old
j days of Nome. It should furnish
a real treat to the new arrivals
| in our midst as well as bring
j back pleasant memories to those
I who participated in such c-lebra
tions in the g«or old days when
| Nome was a real frontier town.
The pioneer spirit of genuine
hospitality will be in evidence
; and the committee guarantees
that th:re will not be a dull mo
ment from the time the curtain
raises until the management sig
| nals “all out.’’ So don’t miss this
rare opportunity of taking in the
big social event of the year 1940.
An important annual meeting
of the Red Cross will be held
Friday evening at 7:30 at the
I Hospital.
In these terrible tim's, our
Chapter of the Red Cross must
j be kept as well prepared for ac
tion as possible, and it is hoped
j and believed that our public
spirited citizens will want to do
■ their part toward that end. Come
; and help!
Friday evening at 7:30 at the

THE NOME NUGGET
Alaskans In
Hawaii Kind
Place Busy
Miss Estelle Wolf, a visitor to
Nome last year for several
months writes from Honolulu
that she has run across several
Alaskans in the land of Coco
Palms and steel guitars. Her let
ter, telling conditions on the is
| lands and Alaskans there, fol
! lows:
“Things are bustling in this j
metropolis in the Pacific. Ten
: years ago when first I came tc
Hawaii little did I know what
progressive changes were to take
place on this enchanting island
| of Aahu on which Honolulu is
bui t. From a quiet, placid town
where business was carried on in
casual, slow-moving manner, to
a large city called appropriately
the “Crossroads of the Pacific.”
Sugar and pineapples are of
course our largest industries,
though the tourists brought Haw
aii-ward since the European war
bring a gr.at deal of revenue
into the Territory.
Many Newcomers
“The city’s population has been
increased by the thousands of;
skilled workers brought from the
mainland as we in Hawaii call
the states to work on the various
government defense projects.
Pearl Harbor Naval Base has the
majority of this influx though a
proportionate number are work
ing on similar jobs in the Equa
torial Islands where coral atolls
are being cleared, their lagoons
dredged in preparation for air
bases.
“Additional troops, army and
navy with their families have al
so increased our population. As if
this were not enough to cause a1
serious housing problem, comes
the news of the American evac
uation from the Orient. Many of
these refugees plan to stay in
Honolulu. Yesterday the huge
liner Washington passed thru
here 1 aving on our shores some
1500 men.
Meets Alaskans
“Quite by accident I ran into
Jack Whaley of Nome, who was
a former student at Fairbanks I
University. Jack along with his'
friend Bill Ryerson arrived a
few months ago. They are work-1
ing at Pearl Harbor Navy Base.;
Three nights a week they attend
the Government school in Naval
Engineering with opportunity
for advancement in ship-fitting.
The two young men have also
joined an amateur Scotch band,
Jack the drums and Rysrson the
bagpipes. Tl\e boys have an apart
ment (Jack calls it a cabin) and
keep house, driving to work in
the same jallopy in which they i
traveled over the United States, i
Canada and Mexico. They are i
v:ry fond of the beach and swim'
whenever possible. Both have be!
come quite tanned and like Ha
waii very much.
“Two Carsten brothers, Thom
as C. who is a salesman for the
Honolulu Star-Bulletin and E J
connected with F L Waldron Co. I
Ltd. are living in Honolulu. They
formerly lived in Nome where
their father operated a butcher
ship and meat business. I be
lieve they left Nome around 1010
“A former Alaskan girl, the!
former Harriet Malstrom, now
Mrs. Frank Kernohan lives at
the Kam:hameha Boys’ School. I
have been asked to look her up.
“The few months I spent in Al
aska last year have given me
the desire to live there perman
ently so do not be surprised to
see me in your town early next
spring.
“Being a subscriber to your in
teresting paper I thought per
haps your readers might be pleas
ed to hear news of Alaskans now
living in Hawaii sister territory
to Alaska.
“Best wishes from a Cheechac
co in Hawaii, willing to be a
real Sourdough.
Sincerely yours,
Estelle Wolf.”
