HIGH SCHOOL
The Nome High School had
their annual skating party over
the week-end and they wish to
thank the people of Nome for
their 100 per cent cooperation in
helping to put the party over.
There were many individuals
who loaned their cars for trans
poration to Halverson’s Pond. We
would like to thank Mr. Kangas
for his help in making a stove,
bench, and a wind-break and also
for sharpening the skates for all
at us. Thanks also goes to the
wood committee: George Bell, Al
fred Sahlin, Pete Larson and Gor
don Swcinberg.

SECOND GRADE
The second grade had a Hal- j
lowe’en party Friday afternoon, j
The children had a colorful room ,
of Hallowe’en decorations. They j
made baskets in the art class j
which were filled with treats by j
the old owl.
The boys and girls are happy I
to have Michael Canno t back in j
school after several weeks of ab- j
sence due to illness. Marie Jencik
has told the class that she will be
leaving soon for Seattle with her
parents. We will miss her and
wish she will be happy in her
former home.
There are 35 boys and girls in j
the second grade. A little crowded |
so we are making good use of
every little space.
In our spelling lessons the pu
pils have been choosing two new
words that they wish to know
how to spell. Last week the words
were witch and broom. This week
and the following two weeks, we
probably will be spelling words
of Thanksgiving flavor.
Our art class will soon be draw
ing, coloring, cutting and pasting
turkeys, pumpkins, Pilgrims, In
dians and anything else the chil
dren may think of that pertains to
Thanksgiving.

Break Democrats’
1-Party Monopoly
GOVERNOR LANGLIE
WINS THIRD TERM
SEATTLE, UP) — Gov. Langlic
won reelection in Tuesday’s vot
ing and Vic Meyers grip on the
lieutenant governor’s chair was
broken for the first time in 20
years.
Langlie becomes the first man
ever elected to a third term in
the Olympia executive mansion.
After 725,000 votes had been
counted, he held a 25,000 lead
over Rep. Hugh Mitchell, his Dem
ocratic opponent in a bitterly
fought campaign.
For the first time since the Dem
ocratic ascendancy in 1932, at
least three other Republicans
were elected to state offices. It
was the first time anyone beside
Langlie has been able to break
I the one-party monopoly on offices
at the capitol.
The sure Republican winners
were:
Emmett T. Anderson of Taco
ma, a former national head of the
Elks Lodge who was making his
first political bid;
Otto Case, elected land com
missioner over Jack Taylor, the
incumbent who beat Case when I
Case was seeking reelection to
the office four years ago;
Don Eastvold of Tacoma, who :
was running 25,000 votes ahead I
of Attorney General Smith Troy, j
the 12-year incumbent, for the j
top state legal office.
BUSH PILOT FORCED DOWN IN SNOWSTORM
REACHES CIVILIZATION AFTER 6-DAY FIGHT
FAIRBANKS, UP)—A bush pilot<
walked out of the Alaska wilder
ness Wednesday and told a har
rowing slory of a six-day battle
to reach civilization after his plane
was forced down in a sudden
snowstorm.
Joseph Cook, of Galena, Alaska,
; had been the object of an inten
I sive aerial search since Oct. 30,
! when his single-engined Stinson
| plane disappeared on a flight
j from Galena to Nenana.
More than 20 Tenth Rescue
Squadron and Civil Air Patrol
planes made daily flights under
difficult weather conditions in the
search lor Cook.
Cook said he lost his way in
snow flurries Oct. 30 and landed '
on a river sandbar. When he took |
off he became lost again and snow j
forced him down on the top of a I
1,000 - foot - high hill. The plane
was damaged in the landing.
Clears for Takeoff
The pilot said for four days he
worked with a hatchet and i
cleared a 1500-foot strip through j
brush on the top of the hill. Then
he made three takeoff attempts !
but each time the plane skidded
'into brush and suffered more ■
f>-—
damage.
Although the fabric on the
plane was badly ripped he man
aged to get into the air on the
fourth attempt.
Cook said he was in sight of the
Yukon River when the plane ran
out of gas.
“I thought I could glide to the
river, but without the engine, the
damaged plane dropped like a
streamlined rock,” he said.
Survives Crash
The Stinson crashed and Cook
was thrown 2 0 feet from the
wreckage.
In spite of exhaustion and
bruises, Cook walked two days
and two nights until he reached
the opposite side of the river from
Tanana. Exhausted, the pilot lay
on his back and fired a pistol.
A villager, hearing the shots,
flew over in a light plane and
picked Coc/k up. He was brought
here in a Tenth Rescue Squadron
plane.
Cook was greeted at Ladd
Field by his son, Pfc. Cornelius
Cook, who was given emergency
leave from Fort Richardson at
Anchorage.
