“Miss Nome” Tells
Of Fairbanks Visit)
—
Following is an interview with
! “Miss Nome’’ who returned herei
j Sunday from Fairbanks:
“Although Fate was against me 1
and I, arrived in Fairbanks three
days late for the Carnival I was
treated royally by the people of
that Golden Heart City. They are J
surpassed only by the people of
Nome when it comes to hospital
! ity and entertainment facilities. ,
I My entrance was slightly dramat ,
| ic in that when they heard our ,
j red plane soar overhead they
I held up the coronation and all of j
the Queens gathered at the Air
port to welcome me. I was very
thankful that I could witness the;
placing of the crown on the j
beautiful “Miss Alaska.”
After the ceremonies I had the
pleasure of renewing old acq-1 ■
uaintar.ces and meeting new j
friends and autographing while
sipping tea in the Nordale lobby. '
I talked over the microphone at
KFAR and Miss Juneau and my
self had movies taken with Mr.
Seppala and his dogs in that we
were the farthest south and the
farthest north Queens.
Connie, “Miss Alaska,” and my
self were guests of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce at its
luncheon. I received lovely flow
ers from the Eastern Star and
delicious homemade candy from
the Pioneer Women of Fairbanks
j together with numerous other to
■ Kens of thoughtfulness.
“One of the most important
j days to me was the time Connie
| and I spent at the College where
, we had dinner and saw various
; Nome students: Vesta Poison,
| Ann, Pearse and James Walsh,
I Eddie Shedley, Norma and Tom
' Christenson, Ernest Burgh, Jim
mie Harper, and Elmer Tveter.
The Nome Unit of the College
picked up the Mayor and spent
the evening together in town.
Other Nome people I saw
; I were: Dr. and Mrs. Swartz, Mr.
• i and Mrs. Arthurs, Mr. Bloom,
i Mr. and Mrs. Lottsfeldt, Mrs.
| Don Lyle, Mr. and Mrs. Robert'
Lyle, Mr. and Mrs. William Jef
; ford, Alvin and Mr. Bahlke, Miss |
Rylandor, Mrs. Boyd and Earl
! Hammond.
’ “Connie and I both left Fair
; banks with the fondest of mem- 1
• ories and I would like to take
this opportunity of thanking the
J people of Nome for making my
; trip possible.”
; Margaret Scott
“Miss Nome of 1940”

Baseball On Wed.
Last Wednesday night the fair
sex of this village showed thei
fans and the not-so-fair sex just
, how’ indoor baseball should be|
played. I confess that when I said
, in announcement that there
j would be two thrilling games, it
i was ballyhoo. But it was, in ret
rospect, a masterpiece of under
* j statement.
j The girls went to town. And
| when the smoke was finally clear
| ed away we found that the Blaz
ers and the Alaskans had won
by,shall we say, a plucked eye
j brow?
I have a notion to suggest that
—No. Skip it. The boys wouldn’t
1 like it. But I still think so.
Next Wednesday night the Mar
1 ried Women meet the High
I School in the opener and the Blaz
j ers and Alaskans furnish opposi
Ition in the night eap. Since I
i plan on signing this item, predic
tions are OUT.
Between games the Trophy is
to be awarded to the winners of
' the 1940 series and the season’s
most valuable player is to be sel
ected by his team mate and mem 1
bers of other teams. All those
connected with baseball have a
vote. All teams are invited and
r. quested to appear on the floor
in uniform and give the Commer
cials a Great Big Hand.
This will probably end base
ball in Nome for 1940. Let’s all
turn out and give the players1
boys and girls both, who have i
put on this extra game a real j
send off. See you at the games.
