PIONEER ROOF GARDEN
TO BE HELD DECEMBER 16
Once more the mother Igloo
of the Pioneers of Alaska. Nome
Igloo No. 1 steps out with the,
assistance of her sons and dau
ghters to make the wellkin ring
with wassail and merriment on
the occasion of the Igloo’s an
nual Roof Garden to be held
next Saturday at the Public
School Auditoruim.
The Pioneers of Alaska have |
always been noted for their un-1
bounded enthusiasm, both for!
their organization, and for their
adopted land. Their valiant spir
it, staunch courage and abiding
faith in the future of their great
Territory is a source of unfail
ing wonderment to the newcom
er, who all to frequently mere
ly sees in Alaska the opportun
ity for a quick stake, then back
to the States, leaving nothing be
hind to mark his passing.
Of all the purely Alaskan or
ganizations formed at the turn
of the century, the Pioneers of
Alaska alone remains, with 29
Igloos active from Nome to
Ketchikan, and a membership of
several thousand. Nome should
be particularly proud of and loy
al to this great Pioneer Order,
for Nome was its birthplace and
Igloo No. 1 its cradle.
One of the oldest and most en
joyable events of Nome’s winter
social activities is the Pioneer
Roof Garden. It takes a real old
timer to recall the first of these
affairs, only interrupted through
j the years by the late great fire of
' 1934. The same high qualities of
| enthusiasm and bouyancy of spir
it that has always marked Al
aska’s Pioneers is reflected in the
I
I staging of these annual Roof Gar
; dens, for while these qualities
may be intangible, no affair of
j the nature of the Annual Roof
I Garden can be a success without
them and we have yet to see the
time when those who attended
did not say that the Pioneer Roof
Garden was the highlight of the
winter social season.

Mags. Feature
Canned Salmon
More and More
Growing popularity of canned
salmon is indicated in a survey
of national magazines made dur
ing the past year by the Canned
Salmon Industry to determine
the number of times magazine
e liters have urged readers to
-zi'VQ salmon by publishing rec
ipes calling for this famous Al
a '« product.
In September issues of the 18
loading national magazines in
the women’s, household, child
| r are and farm publication fie'ds,
i covered in the survey, twelve sal
moo recipes were published. For
the year ending in September,
this group of magazines, circulat
ing a total of 32 million copies a
month, published 78 recipes and
features calling for canned sal
mon.
Many of these recipes were il
lustrated with full color photo
graphs prepared by the magazine
editorial staff.
Largest number of salmon re
cipes printed during the last year
was during the Lenten season. In
March fourteen recipes appeared
in editorial columns of these
leading magazines. In April, the
number increased to fifteen.
In analyzing the survey, the in
dustry reports points out that na
tional advertising of canned sal
mon has drawn the attention of
millions of home makers as well
as editors to canned salmon.
I "This increased attention to
| gelher with the educational val
r
ue of the advertising campaign
| in spreading more information
about this Alaska product can be
; credited with gaining this large
amount of editorial publicity for
canned salmon,” the report says.
“Prioj to the start of the ed
vertising campaign for canned
sa’mon, recipes appeared in na- j
' tional publications only frequent
ly. During the past year, there
was only one month, January,
.which did not see canned salmon
prominently mentioned in the ed
itorial columns of some leading
national magazine.”
These frequent recipes play an
' important part in persuading
housewives to serve canned sal
mon dishes more frequently in
heir homes, the report conclud
es.
