High School Band
Trip To Festival
Planned By P-TA
Th.e fund raising has started for
the purpose of sending the Nome
High Scholo Band to the Music
Festival in Anchorage in late
April.
This fund has commenced with
a $5 contribution which was given
in the spirit of sharing, by the
students of the 2nd Grade class
taught by Mrs. Evelyn Langhus.
Last week at the P-TA meeting,
this room was given a $20 prize
for having the most parents pres
ent for three meetings. These little
second-graders had lots of ideas
on how to spend their prize
•money, but were more than will
ing to give one-fourth of it to
the School Band so that they
might particate, like other Alaskan
school bands, in the annual
school‘festival.
Thirty-three students in the
band are eligible to participate in
the festival, which is being held
this year in Anchorage.
The P-TA has several projects
lined up to raise the money for
the transportation of the group,
which will be housed by the An
chorage schools. Nome is the only
school in the state with a good
band that has not shared in this
big annual event. Music Director,
William Bixby stated at the last
P-TA meeting that the Nome
School Band is well qualified to
compete, and will soon be working
on the festival music, which is
played in ensemble during the
festival. The group will also parti
pate competitively in instrumental
groupings.
P-TA president Roscoe Wilke
announced today that Jim Blan
ning and Dorothy Young will be
co-chairmen for the fund-raising
events and will formulate the
plans for the trip.

Mayor Tells Home Arts
Nome Will Be Isolated
In Event Of Hostilities
Members of the Home Arts
Club, Women’s Federation Club,
enjoyed a talk by Mayor Steffen
Andersen on Civilian Defense.
It was explained that civilian
defense is no longer organized on
a national basis with all planning
being conducted at the nation’s
capitol, but is being placed on a
local level, with each community
responsible for its own survival
in the event of war or catastrophe.
Andersen stated that Nome could
be completely isolated, should
there be a surprise attack, for a
lengthy period of time, and some
plan should be formulated to meet
that emergency.
It was also disclosed that a
technician is being trained to
study radioactive substance in this
area.
