Race Set for February 6
The White Mountain Dog Race
Committee has announced the an
nual White Mountain - Golovin
round trip race for February 6th
nonstop. Last year a ten-minute
break was allowed at the turn;
around, but this created some con
fusion, stated the committee,
which is headed by Wallace

eliminated this year. Entry fee
has been set at $15.
All mushers in this area are in
vited to participate.

'He pleasure of meeting many
Alaskans; some foremer Nome
ites, and others from different
pa-Is of the 49th State, who had
attended the Grand Igloo Con
vention at Nome in October,
1959. Many of those evinced
-rich interest in the coming
R ">of Garden celebration, and
were making tentative plans
to attend.
During an overnight stop at
Anchorage, on his return trip.
Mr.»Hermann learned that many
Pioneers and their families
from that South Central metro
polis were also contemplating
being in Nome and participating
in the celebration of this his
toric event, which is now re
garded throughout the State as
a typical portrayal of social life
and entertainment in Nome in
pioneer days, when Nome was
isolated from, the outer world
during the winter season, and
the inhabitants celebrated the
occasion in true, real frontier
style.
