Only 3 Days Left—And Then What ?
THE PIONEER ROOF GARDEN
;
Frank Morris, president of Ig-1
loo No. 1, Pioneers of Alaska, on
being interviewed by a represen
tative of the Nome Nugget, had
this to say:
“We can’t take you around the
world in 80 days, but we can, and
-will, take you back in retrospec
tion with a portrayal of life in
Alaska half a century ago.
• “We are sparing no effort or
expense to make this, the 49th
Annual Roof Garden (which co
incides with the 50th or Golden
Anniversary of our Pioneer or
ganization) a celebration in keep
ing with the traditions and cus
toms of those early days. It is our
purpose to reproduce as near as
possible an evening of diversified
entertainment in which young
and old can participate, and
which will bear the characteris
tics of genuine Pioneer hospitality
and good fellowship.”
The Roof Garden has long been
considered the opening of the
winter social season in Nome. It
comes at a period of the year
when the people of the commu
nity are in need of an evening of
relaxation and social entertain
ment after a long and arduous
season of hard work in mining,
business, road construction and
other lines of endeavor. It has
been looked forward to as a time
and, occasion when the people—
old and young—get together and
fraternize in that truly Alaskan
spirit reminiscent of early fron
tier days in the Northland.
The evening will open with an
entertainment appropriate to the
occasion. The cast, composed of
local amateur and professional
talent, is working assiduously to
make it a success.
After the entertainment, the
floor will be cleared for dancing;
games of various kinds will be
indulged in. Prizes, ranging from
the unique, priceless, huge gold
nugget to corn-fed turkeys, valu
Sumarai Sword
Murderer Hanged
On Prison Gallows
■
i WALLA WALLA, Wash., UPi—
Harvey John Collins, convicted of
first degree murder for the sa
murai sword slaying of a Tacoma
motel operator March 21, 1955,
was hanged on the Washington
: State Prison gallows yesterday.
Collins’ last words before he
dropped into oblivion were: “I ask
forgiveness for everything I’ve
done.”
His last words were in direct
contrast to the bold front he had
maintained during his confine
ment after he was convicted of
cutting down Andrew Stolen, 74,
with a Japanese samurai sword, a
war souvenir, in front of Stolen’s
motel.
Collins ate his last meal in the
company of Rev. George McCabe,
the Catholic chaplain at the pris
on, Father McCabe remained with
Collins, in the company of guards,
walked the last few yards from
his death cell to the gallows, a
rosary clutched in his hands.
