ning for the traditional Commun

A fine musical program was
presented by the Nome School
Band and Chorus under the di
rection of Mr. Francis Gorman,

under the direction of Pauline
Witner. The play was taken from

created the tree. When it was
learned that the large tree which
was expected, had not arrived,
Olaf Halverson built the lovely
tree out of several small ones
which were available.
A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT
Let us mark Christmas Day by
our re-dedication to its spiritual
ideals of profound faith in the
divinity of Christ, sincere accep
tance of His way of life, genuine
devotion to His mandate of love
of God and of neighbor and per
severing pursuit of the peace
which will foe the firm possession
of “men of good will” in time and
in eternity.

Dr. Patty Willing
To Serve Short
Term as Governor
SEATTLE, Dr. Ernest N.
Patty said Saturday he would be
“intrigued" at the possibility of
becoming governor of Alaska if
he could serve a short term with
reasonable nsurance that Alaska
would become a state.
Dr. Patty, president of the Uni
versity of Alaska, arrived here
Friday night to find a boom un
der way to have him appointed to
succeed Gov. B. Frank Heintzle
man, whose resignation will take
effect Jan. 3.
“I’m surprised, and Mrs. Patty
and I naturally are flattered, but
I hardly expect to be asked,” Dr.
Patty said.
“I do hope, however, the Presi
dent appoints an Alaskan who
knows the country.
“As soon as Alaska becomes a
state, Alaskans will go to the polls
and elect their own governor. I’d
be very intrigued if I could be
certain my services would be re
quired for only a short period.
That way it might toe possible to
work out a leave of absence from
the university.”
Dr. Patty said he has no desire
for a political career. “I have a
headful of uncompleted plans for
the university,’ ’he said.
Dr. Patty and his wife Kathryn
arrived to spend Christmas Eve

a Seattle Times reporter.
They will leave tomorrow to
have dinner in San Francisco

ily, Mr. and Mrs. Dale F. Patty
