Mothers Club Will Show
Eskimo Crafts During
Midnight Sun Festival
The Nome Mother’s Club is
staging a craft demonstration at
the Armory during the last three
days of the Midnight Sun Festi
val. They plan to decorate with
treasures of the past, many of
which have been discarded for
easier ways of doing the job. The
demonstrations will show the
ways the various jobs were being
done at the turn of the century,
many of which have changed
little in the last 59 years.
Crafts to be demonstrated are
chewing soles, twisting sinew,
tanning skins, scraping skins,
making Eskimo ice cream and
you will just have to come to
the Armory on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday afternoons between
1 and 5 to see what delightful
surprises are waiting for you.
If you have things you wish to
share by having them exhibited
at this time, please phone Mrs.
Marilyn Dexter, Mrs. Lily Walker
or some other member of the
Nome Mother’s Club. We need a
pair of snowshoes — handmade
ones. There will be a member of
the club on duty at all times when
the exihibits are open, but the
Armory will be locked at night.
Come and have fun with us.
