Nome Basketball’s
Busiest Weekend
Coming Up
Local fans will be treated to a
full weekend of basketball this
week, when tonight the Inde
pendents will take their turn ^t
trying to stop the Pennant-bound
National Guard aggregation, and
the Nanooks will tangle with the
weakened ANB quintet.
Tomorrow night, the National
Guard team, bolstered by Guards
men George Bell, Art Trigg and
Roy Luke, entertain the visiting
Air Guard five from Anchorage.
Little is known of the “foreign”
team, other than the fact that
they have a five win, ten loss rec
ord from the Elmendorf Base
league. In view of the caliber of
ball that is played there, the
locals will be hard pressed to
post a win.
This is probably the only time
this year that fans will get a
chance to see anyone besides the
local teams play here. Distances
and limited seating capacities
make it difficult for teams to
come this far.
The preliminary game for Sat
urday night will be the first
public appearance, this year, for
the local Women’s town team,
apd the local High School six.
The town team, coached by Arnie
CaStel, will feature the talents
of such stars as Bibsy Richard
son, Marge Benefield, Nancy Car
ter, Jeannie Mogg and Lillie
Tungwenuk. The School repre
sentatives will display the abili
ties of Clarice “Tweet” Hardy,
Gail “Stormy” Mclver, Edna
Johnsen, Carolyn and Frances
“Bun” Johnson, and Frosh whiz
Edna Ahmasuk.
Game time for tonight’s game
is 7:30 o’clock, and Saturday
night’s first game starts at 7.

Higher Price for Gold
Would Extend Mining
Operations in This Area
According to a report from
Fairbanks, J. D. Crawford, vice
president of the U. S. Smelting
Co., states the promised increase
in the price of gold would pro
long operations in Fairbanks and
extend the present work here.
An increase in the price for
gold is being considered, due to
a statement in the State of the
Union message by President Eis
enhower about the gold supply,
which is dwindling in America.
: Small .operators in this area
would welcome such an increase,
making production possible under
the present wage scale.

Pioneer Roof
Garden Scheduled
For February 13
The annual Pioneer Roof Gar- j
den, usually held in t^ie month
of December, by Pioneers of
Alaska, was postponed this year
until Saturday, February 13, so
that the date will coincide as
nearly as possible with the 52nd

the Pioneer organization, when
Igloo No. 1 was organized at
Nome, on February 11, 1907
As may be recalled, the Grand
Igloo Pioneers of Alaska conven

1959, and attracted the largest
number from the various Igloos
in the State, that had been re

from out of town were unanimous
in praise and expressions of ap
preciation for the treatment they
received the friendly greetings of
the people in general, and the true
genuine Pioneer hospitality dis
played, not alone by the mem
bers of the Igloo, but by the
people of Nome, in general. All
newspapers in the State gave
wide publicity to the event, as
reported by delegates returning to
their respective home towns.
Luther Dunbar, newly elected
President of Igloo No. 1, advises
that he has appointed the various
committees to conduct the cele
bration, and all are now well
organized, which, together with
•ommittees from the Ladies Aux
iliary of Igloo No. 1,* acting in
close cooperation, promise to up
hold the fine reputation of these
organizations for producing an
outstanding program of enter
tainment, so diversified that there
will be fun for all.
The date is Saturday, February
13, at 8 p.m. — High School Audi
torium.
The Pioneer Roof Garden Com

general chairman; Stanley Mor
gan and Carl Glavinovich, fi
