Pearse, Mrs. Walsli
Return from 2-Wk.
European Tour
Nome to Rome and return tour
ists for two weeks were Mr. and
Mrs. Pearse Walsh, as guests of
SAS, over the North Pole route.
The Walshes arrived in Rome
the day before. Easter, and were
among the throng of 350,000
■people who filled the streets of
the Eternal City on Easter Sun
day. They remained with the
crowd from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m.,
and were on hand when the Pope
made his appearance on the bal
cony at noon, as well as on the
following day, which was a holi
day in Rome.
By train they traveled up to
Venice and Milan, .both cities
filled with tourists, and found
over 500 waiting for planes in
Milan. They traveled by train
back to Copenhagen, enjoying the
countries through which they
passed — Switzerland, Frank
fort, and other German commu
nities. At Lubeck, the whole train
was transferred to a ferry which
took them to Denmark.
On their stopover in Copen
hagen, where they traveled from
Oslo, they enjoyed a side trip to
Malmo in Sweden toy ferry.
Everywhere they went, they
took in all the side tours that were
possible. Walsh, who handles
thousands of tourists here each
summer with Wien Airlines, en
joyed being a tourist for a change,
and seeing how it is done in for
eign countries.
They were unable to stop in
Paris, where Mrs. Walsh had
planned to purchase a new hat;
tout they found the one she wears
here was right in style in Rome.
Walsh found people interested
in Alaska, many referring to the
“49*.h State,” while others were
very vague in knowledge of
our state.

School Band Plays
Spring Concert Tonight
The Spring Festival of Music,
under the direction of Leland
Barber, at the Nome School, will
be held this evening, starting at
7:30, in the Multi-Purpose Room.
Those having tickets which are
being sold by the Band members,
are asked to note that the time
is 7:30 instead of 7:50, as indicated
on the tickets.
Tickets are being sold to help
defray the cost of repairing in
struments, and to start a band
fund, to be used next year. In
1959, the Nome Schobl Band made
the trip to the state festival for
the first time, and it proved to be
most beneficial to the individual
students participaing, as well as
to the band as a whole. The total
cost is about $2,000 for this school
function, and more than one con
cert will be needed to make it
possible for the band to travel
again. The members of the band
are working hard to sell the tick
ets for tonight’s concert.
