Out-of-Town Trio Will Act as Judges for
Queen Selection in Midnight Sun Fetes
June 10 is the final registration®
date for the Midnight Sun Festival

of Commerce is receiving many
inquiries from prospective candi
dates.
There are now five candidates
for Queen registered: Alice Gla
vinovieh, Myrtle Chambers, Moni
ca Boucher. Bunny Doyle and Su
zanne Fagerstrom.
An impartial trio of judges from
out of town will select the wim

will be chosen from the Court of
Princesses. Factors in the judging
will be poise, general appearance
and natural charm. The candidates
who qualify will be introduced
at an informal community meeting
on Friday evening, June 19. They
will appear at the band concert
during the Carnival on Front
Street Saturday afternoon, June
20, and will ride on the Queen’s
Court Float during the Board
Walk Promenade Saturday even
ing.
All of these events will be in
formal, and the candidates are
asked to wear their customary
cottons or sweaters and skirts.
During these festivities the
judges will observe the candidates
and select the Queen, which selec
tion will be announced at the
Costume Ball on Saturday
evening.
The Costume Ball will be held
at the School auditorium, and ev
eryone is invited to attend in Gay
90’s attire. The Queen will be
crowned at midnight by reigning
Queen Mary Jo I.
It is the desire of the Chamber
" -.urist Committee to ask the

.: ign during the coming year at
many community affairs, and the
Queen and Princesses will be con
sidered as possible candidates for
other contests in Alaska and also
nationwide.

KNOM-TV Shows
Film Series on
Rat Control
The Nome Health Committee
has received two more films from
the Alaska Department of Health.
These films, entitled “Refuse” and
“Keeping Them Out,” have to do
with the control of rats. The
Health Committee plans to show
these at different times in Nome
to groups, and over the television,
station. This is in line with the
Health Committee’s Rat Control
j Program.
Although these films are not
entirely applicable to the Nome
area, they do contain many help
ful suggestions in the control of
rats. We are reminded by these
films that rats are dirty, rats cost
money aftd rats waste food, rats
spread plague and typhus and
many other diseases.
Rats cost the United States
more than two billion dollars a
year. They damage over a billion
bushels of food every^ year. We
are reminded that the rat prob
lem is no small matter, and that
rat control must be a continuous
project.
KNOM-TV, in the interest of
public service, presented the first
film Sunday, and will show one
each evening at 8 p.m., except on
Thursday, whe nthe showing will
be made at 8:30.
