From '34 Fire To School Band

ment which dates back to the old

28 "Prospectors" from Anchorage
Are First 1954 Tourists In Nome
The first official tourists of 1954
arrived from Anchorage yester
day under the sponsorship of the
Prospectors Club.
In the group, which arrived on
a special flight by Northern Con
solidated Airlines, were 28 visit
ors who were housed jointly by
the Wallace Hotel and the Polaris
Hotel. They are scheduled to de
part today at 5 p.m.
One of the highlights of their
trip was “prospecting” for crab on
Bering Sea where they were
taken by Rev. L. Hudgins to the
crabbing grounds about a mile
and a half off shore.
The setting was quite pictur
esque, stated one visitor, with
windbreaks or partial igloos pro
tecting the fishermen. One crab
ber had decorated his windbreak
with star fish caught in his trap.
