FLASH — FLASH
At 10:45 n.m. today a PAA Pil
grim plane arrived at Nome,
bringing, we understand, the last
member of hte thea'r ea' troupe
for the Pioneer Roof Garden.
Our reporter trudged cut to the
ocal airport, hoping to secure an
interview, but the passenger'
were already whisked into Art
[ Martin’s covered wagon and on
the road to town. When inquiry
was made at the local office of
the PAA were were told “see
j Abe Shallit” We did, but Abe
just smiled and said he had a
| ’uncheon engagement. “Nothing
for publication.” It would, ac
cording to Abe, be unethical to
reveal the names of the new ar
rivals at this time. They are, and
must travel incognito. However,
! we did succeeds through other
j sources, in ascertaining informa
l tion which gave us the low-down
on the first “work-out” since
the Pilgrim arrived. The profes
sionals were much surprised at
the ta’ent displayed by our lo
cal amateurs. Another rehearsal
is scheduled for this evening,
when final arrangements will be
perfected.
Nome is certainly fortunate
this year to have such an array
of talent for the Roof Garden.
The entertainment as a whole
promises to outc’asj anything of
its kind ever presented here be
fore.
The gymnasium has been taste
fully decorated for the occasion.
Bernie Knudsen says the band
is in fine tpim, and he has 'an as- I
sortment of appropriate musical
number that will be a pleasure
to listen to.
What about the games? Well,
the committee in charge of this
particular feature assures us that
there will be an opportunity for
all to try their luck. And they
further tell us that Tolbert Scott
is not going to ge.t 'away with all
the turkeys. Competition is go
i ing to be keen inthis department
! That is not all. There are so
i many other ways and means af
forded you to bring a prize
home.
There will be such a variety of
| games that all ages can find some
! thing of interest attract their at
j tention.
We almost forget to tell you
i that the gym floor has received a
| special treatment for the oceas
: ion, so those of you who delight
[ to trip the light fantastics, from
i the “Big Apple” to the Virginia
Reel, directed by Arkansas’ pro
fessionals, can find an enjoyable
time dancing to the music of
Nome’s Own Orchestra

JUNEAU TO BUILD .
AIR RAID TUNNEL
The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce recently was unanimous
in urging that the city take im
mediate action in driving a tun
nel through the hill behind the
public schools, through into Ever
green Bowl, to serve the double
purpose of emergency bomb shel
ter for schol children and thor
oughfare from the business dis- i
triet into the recreational area. |
Motion to construct the tunnel,
was put by Dr. W. P. Blanton,'
and immediately after its pas-1
sage Allen Shattuck moved that
a special two and a half mill tax
levy be declared by the city to
finance the tunnel construction,
estimated to cost between $2(k000
and $30,000. This motion also met
with unanimous approval.
The action came at a Chamber
luncheon at the Baranof Hotel,
which was crowded with sug-1
gestions for defense of the city
against raids and protection of!
civi ians in event of a bombing.
Construction of the tunnel, it
was pointed out, was urged years
ago by R. E. Robertson, attorney.'
as a method of entrance into
Evergreen Bowl from the down
town section. It was pointed out,
the tunnel will serve the vital
need for protection for school
children in case of aerial attack.
The subject was first brought!
up by Dr. Blanton, who question.
ed the feasibility of emergency j
bomb protection facilities being
prepared now for school child-;
ren. It was immediately endors-l
ed by Keith Wildes and A. B.
Phillips, superintendent of
schools. Wildes revealed that a|
number of workmen from the A1
ask.a Juneau Gold Mine have ex
pressed their willingness to work
on the construction of the tun
nel during their time off shift, in j
an effort to push the structure to
completion as rapidly as pos
sible.
Attending the meeting were
Mayor Harry I. Lucas and De-1
fense Chief Frank Metcalf, who!
exp'ained defense activities be-;
ing put into practice to protect
the city. Suggestions made at the;
session included the taking of an
emergency supply of food to
some storage place out the Gla
cier Highway, to protect civilians
against a food shortage in event
a raid destroys supplies quarter
ed in the city. It was also pointed,
out that summer homes out the
highway may be used as emerg
ency housing for city dwellers.
if homes are destroyed by |
bombs.
