Pioneers of Alaska
Roof Garden Is
Grand Snceess
The Pioneer Roof Garden
staged Saturday evening at the
school auditorium proved to be
one of the largest successes of
the year. Commencing with an
address of welcome by President
Chas. Code and lead by Master!
©f Ceremonies Howard Lyng. the |
program was highly entertaining j
and full of fun for the huge
crowd assembled.
The acts were speeded along &
the program came to a conclu
sion with the March of the Pio
neers and Pioneer Women, who!
assembled at one :nd of the hall
to sing “Alaska My -Alaska.”
Dancing and special numbers,
thruout the evening kept the big I
crowd busily engaged. Turkeys,
and candy prizes prov?d lucky
indeed to many at the dance.
One and all agreed that the!
Pioneers certainly stretched;
themselves when they put on the!
patty, and vowed to return toj
next year’s Roof Garden with
plenty of vim and enthusiasm, j
Excellent dance music together
with the presentation of new'
dance steps resulted in a very
enjoyable evening for music lov-!
ers of Nome. Committee mem
bers and the public at large were
loud in their applause given each|
number on the program, which
started the evening’s entertain-;
ment.
NAZI COURT RULES
ILLEGAL BIRTH IS LEGAL
BERLIN, Dec. — The Boersen
Zeitung reported the acquittal of
a Jewess charged with procur
ing an abortion, usually subject
to heavy penalties under the
criminal law. The court ruled
that preventing a Jewish birth
was not illegal.
A court in Luendburg found
that “the law punishing persons
for abortion can be interpreted
after the National Socialist rev
olution as a protective measure
for Aryan offspring alone.
“The law therefore cannot ap
ply to a race which is the enemy
of the German people. Indeed,
the application would directly
benefit that race.
“The German people is fighting
in defense against the Jewish
race. The law does not apply
to Jews, and the case is dis
missed.”
TOO BUSY TO
MAKE TOY DOLLS
WASHINGTON, Dec. — The
Department of Commerce an- j
nounced less than five p:rcent of
toys and Christmas novelties on;
the American market this year
have been imported from foreign
countries. It was pointed out that
it is apparent Europe is too busy
manufacturing war material to
spend time turrting our merchan
dise for the Christmas trade.

i IN MIDST OF PRAYER,
LIFE WAS TAKEN
COLUMBUS, O., Dec.—In the
mids: of prayer Mrs. Anna Marie
Hahn, 32, died in the electric
chair in the Ohio penitentiary for
one of the four murders she was
accused of.
As she moved through the
death house corridor where 12
convicted men were awaiting
similar fate, the men moved to
the front of their cells and stood
at silent attention. “Goodbye, all
of you, and God bless you,” she
called out.
Clad in blue pajamas with a
brown top and her golden-blonde
hair disheveled, her five foot
form slumped moaning and plead
ing as she stumbled and collaps
ed.
She was picked up bodily and
; placed in the chair from where.;
she called to the warden: "Wood
ward, don’t do this to me. Think
of my boy. Can’t you think of my
baby?”
Her head strapped in the chair,
she spread out her arms to wit
nesses and mumibled; “Isn’t there
anybody who can help me? is no
body going to h'elp me?”
“I’m sorry, but we have to do
it, Mrs. Ha'hn,” fhe warden said.
She beckoned to the priest to
“come close” and he intoned with
her the Lord’s prayer.
In the midst of the recital the
current was applied; her voice
stilled as the current arched her
body. Her last words w re: “and
deliver." She never finished the
sentence.
