Anchorage Army Officer
Poke O’ Gold Prize
At midnight Saturday, the win
ner of the $300 Poke of Gold was
named. It was Chief Warrant Of
ficer Nickelson of the Army main
tenance Department, stationed in
Anchorage.
Visitors and residents alike
lined the seawall for the Oomiak
race Sunday afternoon, which was
won by the “Young King Island
ers,” against the crew of old vet
eral King Islanders.
Many saw an exhibition of
kayak capsizing for the first time,
as this skill is held by only a few
of the older Eskimos. Stanley Mek
toyuk, who is a King Islander,
and over 60, performed the daring
feat just off the seawall. This
sport a generation ago was prac
ticed to test the ability of staying
under water, and the boatsman
who remained under water the
longest was hailed as most
skillful .
700 Youngsters Turn Out
In Pied Piper Promenade
The Pied Piper Parade, led by
the Pied Piper, John Amundson,
filled Front Street Saturday with
more than 700 children, who took
part in the parade.
If any one has any doubts about
the number, it can be verified by
the Miners and Merchants Bank,
which furnished ice cream to the
participants following the parade.
Cash prizes were given to the
children in many categories, but a
complete listing was not made, so
the names cannot be published.
This feature of the Festival was
under the chairmanship of Art
Sandstrom of ACS.
ANVIL BOWLERS will sponsor
a banquet at the North Star Sea
view Room 8 p.m., Friday. Dick
Galleher will present trophies for
the last season’s play, it is re
