Christmas Lights
Adorn Front St.
Anyone who hasn’t been down
town since Saturday has a real
treat in store for them. The street
lighting promised by the Volun
teer Fireman surpasses all ex
pectations and lights up the busi
ness area in a most festive man
ner.
The lights extend from the Po
laris Hotel on B Street to Cavota’s
on Steadman Ave, crisscrossing
Front Street.
Quoting one business man: “We
don’t know who originated the
idea but it’s the biggest improve
ment in lighting that Nome has
ever had.”

Hornets Continue
Winning Streak In
Friday’s Hoop Games
The Polar Hornets, known
about town as the “Green Death,”
explode Friday night and smoth
ered the hard-fighting Nome Mer
chants 74 to 53. It was five in a
row for the Hornets as they
clicked in their usual manner.
Tony Willoya shattered his own
record of high points per game,
repacing his fabulous 29 with a
fantastic 35. Bob Herman racked
up 16 counters.
Pete Larsen was top man for
the Merchants with 19. John Bell
and John Walters each had 10.
It was a fast game and the Mer
chants appear to be coming along
in good fashion.
The Nome High Nanooks took
the measure of the ACS Signaliers
35 to 18 in the second game. Big
Bob Dunbar dripped in 16 points
and led the Nanook’s attack. Willy
Willoya was next with 8 points.
The Signaliers are reorganizing
and the team should be in shape
for Tuesday night’s game. Vince
Ahkolik and Vernon Kuzruk are
on loan to the Signaliers until re
placements arrive from the States.
The next basketball action will
be tomorrow night, Tuesday,
Dec. 20. The Signaliers meet the
Nome Merchants in the first game
and the Air Force takes on the
Polar Hornets in the second con
test. Game time is 7:30. Be there
early and get a good seat.
