Xmas Benefit l|
Gaines Be Played
At 8 Tonight j
Tonight at 8 o’clock in the;
School Gym the Transportation
1 meet the Nome Stars in the fea
ture ev nt of the Xmas Benefit
i Games. This game promises to
be the hardest fought and fastest
basketball game the Nome fans
have seen in a season filled with j
fast and close basketball games. :
The game is also the play-off
for the championship of the 1940 :
I winter basketball series, both ]
j teams having won two games
apiece. The last games were play
ed Monday night.
The pre-season game between
the Commercials and the Little
Creek boys in baseball will open
many eyes to the fact that we
are on the brink of a fast, hard
fought baseball season. The boys
have been warming up with a
new small ba.l and from the play
ers we learn that this new ball!
speeds the game up a lot and j
makes the play much closer. The j
old days of one inning batting
I sprees ar : gone, and all runs now1
will be well earned.
" “
The new CAA station today re
ported picking up the jingle of
Santa’s sleigh bells as he started
this year’s trek from the North
Pole to Nome with a load of
stockings and gifts for everyone. J
He hopes to make Nome about 8
o’clock Friday night when all of
us will gather at the School Gym
to meet him. And this is one re
port that does not have the us
ual W P tacked onto the end of.
it.
For the benefit of newcomers
to Nome the Xmas Tree is a
I community affair made possible
by donations and from funds de
rived from the benefit games to
night. Everyone is welcome and
there is no admission charge.
The health authorities in Nome
have advised the Community
Xmas Committee that the preval
, ence of colds and sore throats i
I will create a health problem j
among the children at the school;
the night of the Community tree.
| For this reason ice cream will
j not be served to the public this
j year. As an added precaution to
[prevent the spread of communi-;
cable diseases it is suggested that
parents have their children take
their gift stockings home before
opening them. Any person open
ing a stocking and eating candy
or food at the hall will unduly
expose themselves to colds, sore
throat and influenza. School au-,
thorities hope to hold the present
epidemic in sufficient check to
insure school opening after the
holidays.
