Quick Response By Fire
Dept. Holds Fire At
Russell Home to Minimum
A fire alarm from the residence
of W. J. Russell on 1st Ave. West
called out the Fire Department
Friday evening about 9:30. It was
less than 20 below zero at the
time and a sharp west wind was
blowing.
A fire of unknown origin in an
upstairs bedroom spread to the
room and was quickly put out by
the Nome Fire Department.
Fire Chief W. W. Laws stated
the quick response of the Nome
Field Fire Department and the
Lomen Co. auxiliary fire equip
ment combined to hold the fire to
a minimum of damage. Laws said
the quick thinking of W. B. Mc
Carthy in getting water from the
Lomen well averted the possible
spreading of the fire. The Lomen
Commercial Co. owns buildings
on both sides of the Russell resi
dence.

New Comic Strip
To Start in Nugget
Monday, March 22
PATSY, the cute little starlet of
movies and television, makes her
debut Monday, March 22, on the
comic page of the Nome Nugget.
Her career, as told by master
story-teller Bill Dyer, is a heart
warming and entertaining tale.
Everyone in your family will
want to follow PATSY daily.
You’re in on the start of a new
story, too, with Patsy and her
manager-companion, Miss Primm.
They’ve recently made two new
friends in ex-heavyweight champ
Buzzsaw Bailey and in the beauti
ful ballerina, Madamoiselle Tina.
Both of these people have had
a stroke of bad luck in their car
eers when they meet our little
heroine. In her inimitable way,
Patsy strikes up a bargain with
the handsome heavyweight fight
er. They will stage a comeback
try with Miss Primm as his man
ager.
At the same time, Patsy man
ages to have the beautiful baller
ina and her young troupe success
fully auditioned at her television
studio.
Miss Primm gets into the act by
insisting that Buzzsaw train for
his comeback by learning ballet
fcteps with Miss Tina.
Althcrugh Buzzsaw likes the idea
of being near the pretty ballerina
those toe dances are too much for
an ex-heavyweight champ to
swallow!
We’re into the story, though,
so watch next Monday to see what
happens in this light, entertaining
story of PATSY and her friends.
