B.I.A. To Re-Open
Golovin School
The Bureau of Indian Affairs
announces that it will re-open the
Golovin Day School this summer,
after a closing of several years due
to minimum enrollment. A recent
survey indicated there are 20 to
25 children of school age now liv
ing in the village, which is suffi
cient justification to reopen. It was
first thought that budget limita
tions would prohibit this action
until next year, but the Bureau,
recognizing the need, has secured
funds to insure operation, reports
Bob Grant, BIA Area Field Rep
resentative.
The new high school at Unalak
leet will also open its doors next
September on a limited basis, with
at least a ninth grade in opera
tion the first year. Construction
will be completed this summer,
and new quarters for teaching
personnel are provided in addi
tion to the four-classroom school
building.
A new four-classroom building,
along with housing units, is also
being constructed at Noorvik, and
will be ready for occupancy late
this summer.
These three projects are in line
with BIA policy of providing Na
tive children of this area with
the best schooling, possible until
the State Department of Educa
tion is able to assume th? respon
sibility, explains Grant.
Major repairs and improve
ments are planned for other
schools in the Nome District un
der Bureau of Indian Affairs op
eration, and work will start early
this summer.

Nome had one of its rare traf

t’ e Alaska Cab and the Q Cab.

alty imposed by the U. S. Com

Sportsman’s Group ]
Plans to Organize
Chapter Here
The Isaac Walton League of
America is soon to form a chap
ter here, in culminating several
I years of efforts by sportsmen in
| this area.
Heading the group is Stan Mor
I gan, who presented the' plans to
| Rotary Club, which will aid in
j the organizing of this sportsmen’s
I agency, and encourage the work
j being done to get the Nome
' charter.
1 Membership is open to anyone
! interested in the future of out
j door recreation, conservation, re
] stocking of streams. Applications
j are available from Stan Morgan.
Sometime before the middle of
February, a meeting will be held
to form the local chapter. Officers
will then be elected, and dues
determined on the local level.
| The Isaac Walton League is the
largest of its kind in the U. S.,
and is strictly a non-profit organ
ization, with special programs for
Scouts, high schools and women
as well.
It is necessary to have 30 mem
bers to obtain a charter, and it is
I expected there will be many more
than that number with applica
tions in by the first meeting.

PIONEER ROOF GARDEN
PROGRAM IS NOW
WELL UNDER WAY
On 'being interviewed today,
Luther Dunbar, president of
Igloo No. 1, Pioneers of Alaska,
stated that all his Roof Garden
committees were now function
ing. But he emphasized very
strongly the efforts being put
forth by the committee on pro
gram and entertainment.
As the date, February 13, will
serve to commemorate the 52nd
anniversary of the founding of
the organization known as
Pioneers of Alaska, which took
place at Nome on February 11
to 13, 1907, through the for
mation of Igloo No. 1, now
commonly known and recog
nized as the "Mother Igloo," the
program committee plans to go
all out, regardless of expense,
to, provide an evening of enter
tainment so typical and truly
representative of early - day
frontier life in Alaska. Even the
sourdoughs themselves will
marvel at the uniqueness of the
production.
Costumes appropriate to the
occasion, and in keeping with
the style and custom of the
times represented, will add
glamour and color to the
setting. It is apparent that there
will be many surprises which
will evoke much mirth, and jo
vial entertainment, as well as
original examples of Pioneer
life when Nome was an iso
lated .community cut off from
the outside world during the
winter season.
