| Townspeople Meet To
! Utilize U^O Facilities
For Youth Programs
A group of interested towns
people met Sunday afternoon at |
the USO to discuss a youth pro
gram taking advantage of the
USO facilities on Mondays. Par
ents, young people, Nome min
isters, the USO committee and
interested townspeople were pre
sent.
After some discussion, it was
decided to ask the P-T A if they
would sponsor the program as a
• civic project.
The first meeting to organize
youth activities took place today
at the USO when children in the
9-to-14 group meet with Mrs.
Galvin to arrange for the continu
ation of square dancing lessons
started by Mrs. G. R. Jackson.
Another thing brought out at
the Sunday meeting was that
i The Hut had agreed to make
their facilities available to the
teen-age group for snacks after
dances and ball games. The Nome
Police Dept, is reported to be
in favor of the arrangement and
will police the premises so that
the young people will not be dis
turbed by undesirable elements.

Adams Tells of Tough
Trip To Salmon Lake
Milton Adams, the ferry oper- j
ator at Safety during the summer,!
reported last week that he made ;
a freighting trip to Salmon J-ake j
for Hugo Lindfors. Adams, who
drives nine dogs, said the round
trip took him four days, having
to break trail all the way both ]
ways. On the trip out, he had |
to break trail because there is'
no dog team traffic out that way !
any more and on the return, a
snow storm compelled him to
again break trail for his team.
He says he stopped overnight
at the shelter cabin at U.S.
Adams revealed that he carried
the U.S. mails, from Kotzebue to
Unalakleet, for 19 years, but this
trip to Salmon Lake was, in his
memory, the toughest trip he’s
ever made.

Girls’ Teams, Liniment
Squad and Officers
In Tuesday Basketball
Tuesday evening there will be
two interesting basketball games
at the school gym. The first game
will be between the High School
Girls and the Alumnae. The Al
umnae are favored over the High
School girls, since the Alumnae
have won two games and lost one.
The second game will be be
tween the Liniment Squad and
the Nome Field Officers. This will
be the second time the Liniment
Squad has played this year.
Last Tuesday the Liniment
Squad battled to a 27-27 tie with
the Junior Varsity.
It is believed that by game time
Tuesday both teams will be in
tip-top playing shape. However,
there will be a good supply of
liniment on hand for the players
who need it.
