A Salute
Alaska's Pioneers
(Continued From Page One)
speak of what they know.
United together in a common
fellowship of rich experience,
the Pioneers are look d to, thru
out Alaska, for the benefit of
thair judgement and experience
acquired by long years of ser
vice to the Territory. The Pio
neer's judgement is not warped
by undue pride of self, neither
is it rooted in the dead issues
of the past nor colored by pre
judices. They do not believe that
the wheels of progress should be
stopped by the dead hand of un
thinking tradition. Change is not
necessarily progress, but ability
and willingness to grow are es
sential to it. The Pioneers hold
fast to the best of the past, con
templating the future with an
open mind, seeking what is to
come with their usual understand
ing and enthusiasm.
One of the many qualities that
makes the Pioneers of Alaska
great is their constant and un
bounded enthusiasm. No organ
ization can transcend a lack of
enthusiasm in its membership,
for there is no substitute for en
thusiasm—neither is there a sub
stitute for wisdom.
When we reflect upon the
countless blessings that are ours
loday, when we consider the
benefits that have come to us
largely through the efforts of Al
! aska’s Pioneer men and women,
1 whose generosity, supreme con
fidence in the future, and abid
| ing faith in the land of their
i choice was the guiding principle
of their lives, we should indeed
J acknowledge our debt of grati
tude.
The test of experience is the
memories :t leaves us. We are
honoring these memories of ex
i periences incident to the upbuild
ing of our Territory by this in
trepid band of Pioneers, on Sat
urday night, December 17th. A
splendid program, the march of
j the Pioneers still with us, danc
| ing and games, in addition to the
; famous Pioneer refreshments,
\ will be provided for your anter
i tainment and enjoyment by
Nome’s Pioneer Igloo No. 1. Let
us make this a gala event, and a
fitting celebration commemorat
ing the mighty deeds of the Pio
neers of the past, as well as a
tribute to the living Pioneers
j still with us.

SANTA CLAUS WILL
DRIVE REAL LIVE
REINDEER TO NOME
Nome is one of the very few
places in the world where Santa
Claus can drive into town with
as many live reindeer, hitched to
his sled, as it is possible for him
to handle. Thousands and thou
sands of reindeer feed on the
litchens which grow abundantly
i on the tundra around Nome and
outlying sections, and each year
specially picked deer are singled
out of the immense herds and
trained to harness and taught to
pull a sled. Many live reindeer
are shipped to the States each
year for the use of Santa Claus
when he appears at Department
Stores in the various cities.
Natives are now busy selecting
and training the best and finest
reindeer from the big herd now
in the vicinity of Nome. In or
d r to accomplish this, several
days of roundng up the herd is
necessary, much time is ued in
selecting Santa Claus’ deer—be
cause he demands the best and
fleetest of them all.
Much trouble has occurred in
th past by thoughtless owners
of dogs, who have allowed their
dogs to remain untied on the day
Santa Claus and his reindeer
drive thru the streets of Nome,
to pay a visit to the children of
the city. This year the city offic
ials have given notice to the pub
lic (see notice in today”s issue),
that all loose dogs seen or found
on Thursday, Dec. 22nd, the date
fixed for the Community Christ
mas Tree Program, will be SHOT
on sight. So if you have a pet
or a dog team of dogs that you
value, you arei requested to ass
ist and help make it possible to
keep the dogs tied up, so that
this unique feautre of Sant Claus
driving real live deer to visit
you and your children will be an
annual event.
