Exhibit by Nome
School Prepared
For Nat. Ed. Assn.
Nome School, under the leader
ship of Mrs. W. Cameron, has pre
pared an exhibit to be shown at
the National Education Associa
tion conference in Chicago in July.
Three large panels were pre
pared, approximately 72 square
feet in area. The exhibit has been
mailed to Anchorage and will be
mounted by Mrs. Jack Scavenius,
who plans to be in Chicago for
the convention.
The theme of the first panel
was Nome, with papers and draw
ings illustrating and relating its
historical background. A very
unusual map was drawn showing
natural resources and animal life
of the Second Division. Wild flow
ers and a charcoal drawing of a
prospector showing actual gold
dust in his pan, completed the
first panel.
Eskimos of 1955 was the theme
of the other two panels. One con
tained interesting miniature ex
amples of Eskimo clothing and
craft work, a small kayak, a
sewing kit, luncheon cloth, woven
mats, a small carved ivory Billi
kin, and other objects. Most of
these were made by the fifth and
sixth grades.
One panel was pen and ink
sketches, water color or charcoal
drawings depicting Eskimos at
work, at home and at play. Sev
eral interesting photographs of
native games were donated by
Mr. Sam Mogg Sr. The sixth, sev
enth and eighth grades did most
of the art work. Scientific data
was also drawn on graphs.

Nome School Superintendent
William Angell plans to attend
the convention and exhibition.
Other Alaskan schools will be
represented. Anchorage will have
special paper mache objects and
textile paintings. Juneau plans to
send four panels depicting some
of the territory’s most modern
schools, made under the direction
of the commissioner of education.
From Ketchikan will come a
model of the famous pulp mill—
“that is, if it's small enough to
take with us,” laughs Mrs. Scave
nius—and material describing its
operation.
Cordova will be represented by
a miniature gillnetting operation,
with two tiny fishermen figures.
The “on base” school at Kodiak
is sending a display depicting the
huge Kodiak bears, while Kodiak
city school is sending a real crab
to be the central attraction at the
Alaska exhibit.
Other communities planning to
contribute to the display include
Sitka, Chugiak, and Homer, which
has already donated two home
steading puppets and their log
cabin home, made by Homer
teacher Gay Adams.
Films of Alaska will be shown
at night during the convention
through the courtesy of North
west Orient Airlines, Mrs. Scave
nius explained.

Airmen Released
(Continued from Page One)
The air attache said all four
men were extremely excited and
hilariously happy.
Fischer saw a bed with a mat
tress at the Jockey Club, jumped
on it, and “bounced up and down
like a baby boy,” Simpson said.
Parks flopped on another bed and
luxuriously stretched and yawned.
Cameron ran for the showers
and shouted: “They’ve got both
hot and cold water.”
Asked by Simpson what he
would like, Heller said, “Lead me
to a steak.” The air attache said
he had no steaks at that time but
there were 15 choice ones on the
plane for the men’s dinner.
Red China announced its deci
sion to release the airmen Monday
night in a Peiping radio broad
cast which said they had been
convicted by a military court May
24 of “intruding” into Manchuria.
The court ordered them deported,
the broadcast said. The broadcast
was Peiping’s first announcement
of any offical action against the
fliers.
The men said their captors had
told them they were being ex
pelled. Following the Peiping an
nouncement, the State Depart
ment expressed hope that the Chi
nese decision to free the four indi
cated an early release for 11 other
American fliers and 41 civilians
detained by the Reds. I
Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
The return of summer to the
Northland with its ever-increas
ing amount of sunlight will soon
hide the stary heavens from view.
Looking ahead into the future,
there will be a total eclipse of
the sun on June 19, 1955. It will
only be visible to people in the
Southern Hemisphere. The path
of the eclipse will be in the Indian
Ocean about 600 miles north of
Madagascar. It will pass close to
the Marshall and Fiji Islands. The
eclipse will be visible to people
living in the northern half of
Australia.
The sun will be at the summer
solstice on June 21st. Summer sol
stice is the time that the sun
reaches its greatest declination
north. It is the time of the year
most favorable for northward
flights to see the midnight sun.
Planets will continue their reg
ular movements and by December
Venus will be shining in the west
soon after sunset while in the past
year it has been visible in the
east.
