Local C.A.P. Cadets
Working for Air
Age Achievements
Picture engineers and scientists,
now members of the Nome Civil
Air Patrol Cadets are busy study
ing power for aircraft under their
capable instructor, Dick Gallaher,
owner and pilot of Northern
Aviation Co.
Stepping into the cadet class
room, you might find them meas
uring, marking or calculating the
Nations of balance and pitch of
t ie 70-pound propellor resting on
their work table; or learning con
struction and function of precision
built reciprocating engines, jet
propulsion or rocketry. Through
their study and experimenting
they are learning that it takes
many people doing “ground”
work to keep each pilot in space.
These cadets are working on
one of six '“‘achievements” of the
Civil Air Patrol program to help
them find and prepare for their
adult place in the world.
Whatever your vocation, avo
cation or hobby, if you are inter
ested in assisting the youth in be
• coming worthy citizens, there is
a place for you in the Civil Air
Patrol program. For further infor
mation, contact Roy Conklin,
Commandant of Cadets, or Dusty
Rhodes, North Western Sector
Coordinator.
Island Eskimos to
Become Citizens
In Rites Today
Judge Vernon Forbes of Fair
banks flew to Gambell today to
hold a naturalization ceremony
for Russian Eskimos on the island.
On his return, he will hold
court here and return to Fairbanks
on Wednesday.
Accomanying Judge Forbes on
Dick Gallaher’s plane to the is
land were: Eugene Balland, law
clerk; Don Harvey of the Immi
gration Office in Anchorage; Joe
Kroninger, Clerk of the Court at
Nome; Mary Diede, and M. J.
Walsh.
Two native women, sisters, who
arrived in Alaska from Siberia
in a skin boat, will receive their
: U. S. citizenship. The ceremonies
will take place in Gambell.
Doris Uglowook, who is about
41 years old, was born in Siberia
and came over the icy Bering
Straits with her sister and other
mefbers of the family in a skin
boat around 1922. Mrs. Uglowook
has six children and lives in
Gambell.
Cora Iya, the sister, lives in
Savoonga, about 40 miles east of
Gambell and will travel to the
ceremonies by dog sled. Mrs. Iya,
who has nine children, is about
55 years old. The family lived in
Siberia before their trek to
America.
According to Don Harvey, of
the Immigration Office in An
chorage, the two women are pos
sibly the only residents of St.
Lawrence Island left who have to
be naturalized. Their mother is
not a citizen, but 9he is over
100 years old, and doesn’t under
stand the English language well
enough to qualify. He said five
or six natives were naturalized
there last year.
Clarence Irragoo, radio operator
for Alaska Airlines on the island,
is the chief instigator in seeing
that his people get their citizen
ship. He is the town baker as well
as radio operator.
Gambell Village has a popula
tion of 360 people — 60 families.
The island people still make their
living as natives of old. They live
by hunting whales and seal, and
carving ivory.
Assisting Judge Forbes will be
Eugene Belland, law clerk accom
panying him to the island.
Upon their return to Nome the
judge will officiate at another
naturalization ceremony. This one
is for Sister Yvonne Louise Ber
ton who came to this country
from France. She is with the nun’s
order of the Little Sisters of Jesus.
This ceremony will be held at
9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
PARENTS — Be sure to attend
the Open House being held at
Nome School tomorrow evening.

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
Meeting Wednesday
8 P.M. City Hall
Moonlight Enhanced
Halverson Skating Party
From Nome’s historic beaches,
once teeming with miners of gold
rush days, was gathered beach
| wood for a roaring, blazing camp
j fire, built on the shore of Halvor
son’s Pond, where a skating party
was held last Friday from 7:30 to
11:30 p.m.
The setting of the evening’s en
tertainment was ideal. A quarter
moon on the low southern horizon
lent a mellow glow of light, and
when it set in the southwestern
sky, the myriads of brilliant stars
overhead was light sufficient for
the skaters below. A hazy light J
from the northern lights aug-1
mented the light from the stars.
I The blazing fire made of beach
wood, oil and coal, was a source
of good cheer to all. It gave com
fort to the tired skater, and was
a common gathering place for all.
Shouts of happy voices and the
keen cutting sound of the skate
blade was sufficient music for
the occasion.
