Search On For Eskimo
Guide To Attend Motor
Boat Show In New York
The article published recently
requesting information on an Es
kimo named Puppuytbitwok, who
is a guide, and used a Mercury
outboard motor, has brought re
sponse from various parts of Arc
tic Alaska and from Canada as
well.
Efforts are now being centered
on locating the man supposed to
be at Shishmaref so that he may
have the wonderful trip to New
York being offered by the Keik
haefer Corp., manufacturers of
Mercury outboard motors.
Qualification will include the
ability to appear before a TV
audience for interview and to be
able to answer questions intelli
gently. If this guide is not lo
cated, another Eskimo who uses
a Mercury outboard motor, will
be given the opportunity of a
free trip to New York with all
expenses paid and a 1955 Mer
cury outboard motor. He may
even bring his favorite sled dog
(if housebroken).
Names of other Eskimo guides
in this area are being sought by
Larry Galvin, local Mercury deal
er, who is making arrangements
for the trip in case Puppuytibi
twok is not located or does not
qualify. The occasion for the
whole thing is the National Motor
Boat Show at Kingsbridge Arm
ory, Bronx, New York, Jan 14-23.

Pioneer Roof Garden
Only Four Days Away
By Sen. Howard Lyng
Nome’s one and only Roof Gar
den is but four days away, and
judging by the preparations being
made, Pioneer Iglo No. 1 is put
ting on one of the biggest and
best entertainments of the kind
since the gold rush days.
The big all-star show—ten acts
—count ’em—is directed by our
own Jack Blattler, who had trod
the boards ’mid the dazzling,
glaring footlights of countless
stages scattered throughout the
U.S.A., and rubbed elbows with
the great and near great of the
stage and screen.
Jack and cast held two full re
hearsals over the weekend and
the head man says they are
“tops,” everyone clicking and
giving it that special something
that makes for real entertain
ment.
The management wishes to in
form the theater-going public that
Saturday night’s curtain will go
up at 8 p.m. sharp. There will
be no delays. Don't miss the first
curtain as the first act has a
direct bearing on the rest of the
show. Get the full package.
