A SUGGESTION
Now that warm weather is ap
proaching and snow drifts are
■beginning to melt on the streets
as well as sidewalks; it would be
« good plan for the City to take
a hand in making Nome look
more like it should look, instead
of looking like a native village
in the sticks, where the people
wait for the faithful Sun to do it.
We would suggest that the chair
man of the street committee in
vite the mayor and the rest of
the councilmen for a ride over
the several streets and learn first
hand what the conditions are and
then decide to do something
about the conditions which exist,
not only the streets, but the side
walks.
Those few property owners
who have already shown the way
by shovelling off a portion of the
sidewalks abutting their homes,
•are to be commended, and it only
needs a little spirit & civic pride
to get the rest of the sidewalks
open and the streets cut dowm to
make the city more presentable
and attractive as well as safe to
navigate, and finally such im
provements will make for better
fire protection.

First Annual
Ski Meet Held
Last Sunday
(Contributed)
“Curly” Boulanger’s spill in
the first heat of the Slalom event
cost him the winners cup in the
Nome Ski Club tourney last Sun
day. Though he came back in his
second attempt and set the day’s
record in the event, 31.1, his av
erage time for the two trials was
too high to give him a point
winning place. Later, Curley
placed first in the downhill race,
setting the record in that event.
With firsts in both the Slalom
and cross country runs, and a
third in the downhill event,
Chuck O’Leary amassed enough
points to earn the first place
trophy.
Freddy Kubon, Nome's genial
Mayor, proved himself the iron
man of the tourney. When the
starter and timekeeper got their
signals crossed in Fred’s first at
tempt of the "top to bottom”
race, and the judges refused to
recognize his run, the Mayor
took himself back up the hill for
a second trial, this time, he came
down only two seconds slower
than the record time for the ev
ent, taking second place. He also
placed second in the Slalom, one
fifth of a second ahead of Dave
Livingstone, and completed the
day with another second in the
cross country run.
Boulanger’s first place in the
downhill event gave him enough
points for third place in the con
test.
Officials were: Starter, Stella
Jackson; Timer, Jeanne Mozee.
Stopwatch by courtesy of Harry
Hagen.
The only added event of the
day was a distance toboggan run
with the team of Stella Jackson,
Jeanne Mozee and Marianne
Mish, defeating by two inches,
the team of Maxine Livingstone,
Edna “Newlywed" O'Leary and
Emma Stubjkaer. Incidentally
considerable discussion is still
being carried on concerning this
event. The sunburn champion
ships are still undecided.
