"Resurrection Tree' Blooms
Inspired by the ‘Resurrection
Tree’ so - called by George and
Della Goshaw, the Nome Gospel
Home has one this year.
It is a Christmas Tree, made
from clumps of willows, and each
day has been shooting forth with
more blossoms and leaves.
Any who would wish to, are
invited to stop by the Everett
Bachelder residence at the east
end of town and see this hardy
tree blooming in midwinter.

Eisenhower Can Be
President in Vacancy
Left by Dr. Langsam
GETTYSBURG, Pa., Dec. 10—If
President Eisenhower should de
cide not to run for the presidency
next year he can be a president
anyway—and for keeps.
The Gettysburg College, a small
but venerable liberal arts institu
tion of learning, has a vacancy in
its presidency, and is holding it
open for Mr. Eisenhower—just in
case.
The college presidency became
vacant last April when Dr. Walter
G. Langsam, brother of Nome’s
Dr. Fred Langsam, resigned to be
come head of the University of
Cincinnati.
The job pays $10,000 a year,
plus an expense account, a home
and an automobile.
Although no formal offer has
yet been made, John S. Rice, a
college trustee and former Demo
cratic candidate for governor of
Pennsylvania, said: “The trouble
is, we don’t know whether to wait
one year—or five.”
Rice said the hopes of the little
Lutheran college have not been
expressed to Eisenhower. He ex
plained: “It would be presumtu
ous to issue an invitation at this
time. . .”
