Everyone Invited
To Easter Parade
And Style Show
Just two weeks from next Sat
urday, on March 29, at one p.m.
the annual Easter Parade and
Style Show will be held at the
Nomerama Theater.
There will be no formal invita
tions sent out this year—this will
serve to invite everyone to attend.
There is no entry fee, no box
tops, no limericks or other gim
micks required to join the parade.
Costumes may be pretty, uni
que or comic. Everyone is elig
ible. It makes no difference whe
ther your costume was purchased
in Nome or outside, as this is not
a commercial or competitive
show — it is just for fun and
beauty.
A lovely figure will not dis
qualify you, but we urge you not
to let a few extra pounds keep
you out of the parade.
The local stores are planning
some exciting entries and with
the pretty yard goods on display
there’s no question that you’ll see
some pretty snappy spring outfits, j
The management of Nomerama I
said they were pleased with the
interest the ladies are showing in
this third annual show, and hope
that this year will see more j
mature clothes modeled, or some
men’s clothes modeled, as well as 1
togs for the younger set.
If you would like to be in the !
show but have no special costume 1
planned, why not make an old i
fashioned dress like the early i
Nomeifes wore. That would be j
fun and would get you in the |
mood for wearing the old-time!
clothes the Tourist Committee is I
urging Nome to wear this year.
Ladies could invite a gentle-!
man to join the parade, wearing
either a sourdough variety cos
tume or the dandy version with
fancy vest, nugget watch chain,
bowler hat, etc.
The proceeds from the show'
go to the MMM Hospital and it is j
hoped that this one will be the
biggest and best yet.

Mother Sees Son-In-Law
For First Time — In
Police Line-Up
PHOENIX, Ariz., — Mrs.
Lucretia Richardson met her son
in-law for the first time Friday—
in a police lineup.
She identified Duane J. Wil
liams, 22, as the man who held
up a grocery store in suburban
Sunnyslope Tuesday while she
was shopping there.
“Are you sure?” asked Sheriff’s
Sgt. Barney Blaine. She nodded.
Blaine told her Williams was her
son-in-law and that he married
her daughter two weeks ago.
“My God,” she cried, “Now I
know where LaVon is!”
Blaine said later Mrs. Richard
son had never met Williams be
fore.
“Apparently,” he- added, “Wil
liams used to sit out in the car
when he came to call for LaVon.”
Blaine said Williams, who also
was identified by others as the
gunman in several other holdups,
signed a statement admitting the
grocery stickup.
The daughter? She was booked
on a bogus check charge.

Motorist Stranded
In Heavy Traffic
On L.A. Freeway
LOS ANGELES, UP) — Motorist
Greg Morton, enroute' home in
heavy freeway traffic yesterday,
swerved to miss a wild driver.
His car landed on a middle div
iding strip.
With thousands of car whizzing
by in solid ranks on either side,
Morton found himself as lonely
and helpless as if he was on an
uninhabited island in the Pacific
Ocean.
He signalled for help for an
hour and 15 minutes. He said he
tried to flag down 14 motorcycle
policemen. No. 8 stopped, he said,
but when he asked, “How do I get
off of here,” the officer said, “just
start your engine and drive
away,” then the cop rode away.
Finally, a civilian motorcyclist
paused long enough to size up the
situation and promised to tele
phone for aid. At long last an
other motor cop appeared, made
the traffic pause for a moment
and Morton was able to get back
onto the freeway.
• “I’d have given 20 bucks for
a telephone out there,” said Mor
ton, 34, a management consultant.
