Blizzard Reduces Art
Workshop Participation in
First Night of Instruction
Last evening, in the School
Multi-Purpose Room, an Art
Workshop, under the sponsorship
gl the Nome Public Schools, was
conducted by Mrs. Kay Mizar of
the Anchorage school system.
Prior to the evening’s instruc
tion, a potluck dinner was served
to participants in the program, by
arrangement of the Home Arts
Club, Kegoyah Kozga Library
Assn., the Beta Sigma Phi Soro
rity, LWY Community Center,
Scout Committee, and school
officials.
Mrs. Mizar, who formerly acted
as art consultant for the On-Base
Schools in Alaska, arrived in Nome
Thursday, especially to aid the
art program planned for this area.
In addition to the assistance she
gives the local school curriculum,
she offered an adult class Thurs
day evening, and will open the
Multi-Purpose Room again this
evening at 7 o’clock for the bene
fit of those who wish additional
work, and those who were unable
to attend on Thursday.
Interest in the workshop has
been very much evident, and Mrs.
Mizar’s engaging personality soon
produced additional enthusiasm
and cooperation in the community
— but alas! not in the weather.
The major blizzard of the season
thus far, reduced workshop par
ticipation. Despite this handicap,
over 50 persons were enveloped
in a sea of crene paper, glitter and
paint — am/ng other such im
probable tools of art as tgg car
tons, paper towel holders and ep
som salts. Mrs. Mizar’s tricks-of
trade seemed endless, and she fas
cinated the group anew every
few minutes with apother pro
ject or novel idea.
ANS TO CONDUCT SICK BABY
CLINIC NEXT WEEK
There will be an A.N.S. Sick
Baby Clinic next week at the hos
pital Monday through Friday at
