Big Crowd Enjoys
The Roof Garden
Despite Blizzard
The traditional blinding bliz
bard heralded the 47th annual
Roof Garden Saturday night with
snowdrifts piling up. This did not
prevent, however, a capacity
crowd from filling the school aud
itorium.
The Roof Garden opened with
an entertainment entitled “TV
Show,” Pioneer Broadcasting Sta
tion, with Russell Herman as an
nouncer.
Incoming president Pearse Walsh
welcomed the guests and the Pio
neers marched to the music of the
school band under the directoin of
Bob Heath.
Although she didn’t take a cur
| tain call, Mrs. G. R. Jackson was
responsible for the excellent pro
gram. She was ably assisted by
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Hermann
and Robert Scott.
The school band, which gets
bigger and better each year under
Robert Heath’s direction, opened
the program with a “Waltz Festi
val.” This was followed by the
High School Girls’ Chorus with
“The Bells of St. Mary’s” directed
by Mrs. W. Cameron.
Band specialty groups included
a woodwind trio with Diane Lee,
Charlene Hudgins, Dorothy Rus
sell, and a brass trio with Peter
and David Barber and Fritz
Chambers.
Vocal selections were by May
bell Lenert with “Romance” from
The Desert Song and “One Alone”
and by Robert Heath with “Gypsy
John. Both were accompanied by
Emily Boucher.
For his encore Robert Heath
sang the “Alaska Flag,” the new
official song as adopted by the
last legislature, introducing it to
the Nome public for the first
time.
Comedy was provided by Phil
lip Webb, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Webb, who did a football
pantomime.
Jim Ryan, AFRS announcer,
played a medley of old-fashioned
tunes on the piano.
The closing number was a sing
ing group, with Janet Faires,
daughter of Mrs. G. R. Jackson,
with four boys from Nome Field:
i Bob Simpson, Bill Bryant, Tom
Donald, Ken Epperly. They were
accompanied by Diane Boucher
and Airman Marvin Buckingham.
Commercials were in the form
of clever skits and take-offs, on
local businesses, with Lucy Fager
strom, Boyd Harwood and Dewey
Goodrich assisting.
Dancing followed with Marvin
Buckingham at the piano and
Mary Lou Amarok on the drums.
The three giant nuggets were
awarded to Mary Blattler, Carrie
McLain, and the third will go to
John Belobradich.
Door prizes went to Olive Lar
son, for the adults, and Ann
Chambers for the children.

Babe Zaharias Will Need
X-Ray Treatment for
Long Time to Come
GALVESTON, Texas, —A
spokesman for John Sealy Hospi
tal said Saturday that doctors had
found a recurrence of cancer in
famed athlete Babe Zaharias and
she would be receiving X-ray
treatment “for a long time to
come.” i
Mrs. Zaharias entered the hospi- j
tal recently for the third time for'
cancer treatment. A lengthy ex
amination showed that “prolonged
X-ray treatment would be re
quired,” the spokesman said.
“When she left in September
she was told to return for X-ray
treatments but pain forced her
back before the appointed sched
ule,” the spokesman told the Gal
veston Tribune. “There was a re
currence in the bone at the lower
end of the spine and X-ray treat
ment is necessary. She had X rays
this week and will have it again
. next week.”
CAP Mission is Training
Youth for Aviation Jobs
WASHINGTON, (tfV—Secretary
of the Air Force Quarles said Sat
urday he thinks the important
mission of the Civil Air Patrol is
the training of young people for
aviation careers.
In an address prepared for a
CAP leadership conference, Sec.
Quarles placed the CAP’S “pro
gram of air age education” ahead
of its wartime role of flying aid to
stricken areas and furnishing air
support for civil defense.
By interesting youth in aviation,
the secretary said, the CAP is
“helping the Air Force and the na
tion to maintain its deterrent
strength.”
Quarles called for a ten-fold
increase in the number of high
schools—now 200—offering avia
tion courses in collaboration with
CAP squadrons. And he urged re
doubled efforts to reach a goal of
100,000 CAP Cadets.

Delegates Prepare . . .
(Continued from Page One)
Sitka’s B. D. Stewart.
Each feels that framing a con
stitution for their beloved Alaska
is a final and bounden duty. They
are whi;e-haired, quiet and past
70. Their years in Alaska total
over 130. They don't address the
delegates as a body often, but
when they do there is no com
promise in their pleadings.
Two of the convention’s most
persuasive talkers are Anchorage
lawyers John Hellenthal and Geo.
McLaughlin. Colorful, hard-driv
ing and sensitive to principles,
they both address convention
delegates as though they were
one unit.
The authority on rules is Burke
Riley, Haines attorney — smooth,
highly expressive and personable.
Juneau’s George Sundborg is
the chief guardian over the style
of the constitution document. The
only delegate who makes his liv
ing by writing, Sundborg is some
what nervously biding his time
until the many articles of the con
stitution start reaching his desk.
Now that subject matter of the
constitution is being channeled
from committee to plenary ses
sion for approval, more expression
is expected from delegates with
no legislative background who
have remained quiet, waiting for
real issues to emerge.
The last-minute rush is begin
ning at Convention Hall. The
scene is readied, the committee
proposals are all but completed
and the 55 personalities selected
by Alaskans to write their Con
stitution are mastering the game
of give and take.
