Pianist Clair James
Gives Impromptu Concert
At the Lutheran Church
. , jr
Clair James, concert pianist
from the San Francisco Conser
vatory of Music, who has been
giving seminars to music teach
ers while on a visit in Fairbanks
with her former pupil, Mrs. El
mer Gagnon, gave an impromptu
concert last evening at the Lu
theran Church here.
Although she is on vacation
and on tour, she graciously con
sented to play for those who could
be contacted on short notice.
First she presented a series of
Robert Schumann compositions
interpreting the meanings of each
number as she went along so that
the listeners could apply their
imaginations and thoroughly en
joy them.
This was followed by Clare de
Lune by Dubussy, then two
studies by Chopin and finishing
with the Polonaisse No. 22 by
Chopin.
Clair James, had her training
in London and has given concerts
in many parts of the world, and
although diminutive in stature
made the old upright piano talk
in many tones and moods. It was
a rare privilege for Nome music
lovers to have this opportunity to
enjoy live music of such quality
and the audience was most appre
ciative.

Mrs. Peter Lee Runs
Into a Brown Bear
While Berry Picking
Mrs. Peter Lee who has been
camping at Camp Creek, met up
with a brown bear, rather unex
pectedly last week, while berry
picking. Camp Creek is about
five miles above Council and she
was with her mother and sister
and their six children had gone
up by boat.
Leaving Mrs. Lee’s mother on
the river bank with camping gear
and bonfire, the rest of the party
had wandered off searching for
berries. Mrs. Lee was the farthest
from camp when she spotted the
bear. She started running and
calling the rest of the party who
all made a dash for the boat and
were able to get out into the
river before the bear caught up
with them.
■Mrs. Lee had a gun with her,
but didn’t feel experienced enough
to use it, being afraid she might
just wound him and make him
more dangerous.
Parties planning to vacation in
the Council area are warned to
watch out for bears, who are also
berry pickers.
