meek, whose exihibtion was some
thing new here and skilfully per
formed with perfection.
On the reviewing stand were:
master of ceremonies Bob Cur
tis of the Alaska Airlines; Rev.
Reeves Havens who gave invoca
tion; Col. Harold Williams of
Nome Field; the Hon. B. Frank
Heintzleman, Governor of Alaska;
the Hon. Steffen Andersen, mayor
of Nome; Borgny Reader; Maj.
Holland, USAF; Capt. Hughes,
USAF; Lt. Cmdr. John Condict;
Sen. Chas. D. Jones; Capt. Stanley
Morgan, ACS; Maj. John Cooley,
ANG; Robert Scott, American
Legion; Phillip Lancaster, VFW;
Dewey Goodrich, Chamber of
Commerce and Lt. Snyder, USAF.
Speaker of the day was Col.
Harold Williams, commanding of
ficer of Nome Field, whose theme
was “Cooperation.” He stated that
177 years ago our nation had its
beginning as the result of colonists
getting together and cooperating
for their mutual benefit. He com
pared this founding of the nation
with the founders of Nome who
worked together to develop the
last frontier and placed special
emphasis on the work of the
Nome Visitors Association, who
made possible the military parti
cipation through their request to
Gen. George R. Acheson, com
manding general of the Alaska
Air Command, and to Gen. Don
ald Smith of Ladd Air Force Base.
Williams reviewed the work of
pioneers of air flight, which in
dustry is about as old as Nome,
how through cooperation of mili
tary and civilians, it has grown
and will soon be changing over
to atomic-powered flight.
Col. Williams urged that civic
groups cooperate with the mili
tary in “wholesome, worthwhile
types of recreation” for military
personnel while stationed or visit
ing here so that they may inform
their families and friends of the
hospitality and wonders of the
north and help develop goodwill
in letters they write or the stories
that they take home.
“Those who signed th^ Declara
tion of Independence never imag
ined in their wildest dreams, a
century and a quarter later that
Americans would be celebrating
the 4th of July at Nome on the
shores of Bering Sea,” stated
Monday, July 6, 1953
Governor Frank Heintzleman.
“Pioneering in our nation pushed
the frontiers forward—and today
we are approaching a different
form of pioneering. We must seek
out and find natural resources,
process them and pioneer in mar
kets. N^ver is there a better time
than the present to forge ahead,
especially in the Second Division.
We want to do what is necessary
in the Territory to bring this sec
tion of Alaska ahead,” said the
Governor.
Eskimo sports were held in the
afternoon with the following win
ners of events:
Eskimo Sports, High Kicking:
John Suluk, John Iyapana.
Rope Kicking: John Iyapana,
Ed Ahkolik.
Three Eskimo Dances: Three
Women, Chief Olarana (for the
governor), Three Men.
Blanket Tossing, men: Stephen
Luke, Henry Luke.
Blanket Tossing, women: Reba
Tungwenuk, Laura Johnsen.
Boat Race, King Island to Dio
mede Island: Sam Mogg’s boat.
Skeet Shoot: Flyod Walluk, Sam
Ah winona.
In the evening the local Eski
mos joined with visiting Eskimos
from King and Diomede Islands
in an exhibition of dancing, which
according to many of the visitors,
exceeded anything of its kind in
the Territory. Retired chief of
King Island, John Oalaranna’s
personal dance was one of the
highlights of the program. The
dance was performed especially
for the Governor, as one chief
to another.
A roller skating exhibition was
presented by Sgt. and Mrs. John
THE NOME NUGGET 3
Meyers of ACS, and was a novelty
much enjoyed by all, as Nome
does not have a regular roller
skating rink.
The American Legion presented
Sgt. Meyers and his wife with a
set of Picard salt and pepper
shakers for their fine showman
ship.
Each member of the 4th Infan
try Band, which played for the
American Legion Dance, was pre
sented with an ivory and nugget
tie clasp in appreciation for the
fine music not only at the dance
but throughout the celebration.
