‘White Christmas'
Hard on Airlines
Nome’s ‘White Christmas' is
making it hard on the airlines.
Planes have been unable to land
here with last minute trimmings
for our Christmas celebration.
Alaska Airlines planes were de
layed yesterday from Anchorage,
Wien’s Wednesday flight will not
leave Fairbanks until 6 o’clock
tonight and Pan American was
unable to land yesterday after cir
cling over town for two hours, and
returned to Fairbanks. Aboard
the PAA plane were 12 passen
gers for Nome and, it is reported,
enough freight for two DC-3’s.
One of the items Nome’s Com
munity Christmas Tree Committee
is awaiting are the 750 Christ
mas stockings which are to be
given -to the small fry at the
Nome School gym Saturday mor
ning.

School Christmas
Program Friday
With Music, Play
The school Christmas program
will be given Friday, Dec. £3, at
8:00 p.m. in the school auditorium,
for adults. There will be a matinee
Thursday afternoon for the chil
dren.
The program will consist of
band numbers, choral groups, and
a play entitled, “Christmas Broad
cast at Squashville School.” The
play is a humorous, yet meaning
ful production of a one-room
country school on the afternoon
before Christmas vacation.
Children from all eight grades
are in the play’s cast. You will see
Jimmie Mays as Miss Grimes, the
teacher. Alonzo, the announcer
(Douglas Lee), will keep you
laughing with his off-the-record
remarks. Three little second
graders—Mary Ann Hoyle, Merrill
Swim and Myron Mecklenberg—
give a good recitation. Lois Okit
kon reminds us of the true spirit
of Christmas, and there are many,
many others.
We think you’ll enjoy it, but if
you don’t, as Alonzo says, “Why,
there’s not much can be done
about it.” However, we think you
will hear “Christmas bells ringing
in your heart, for heaven hath en
dowed these bells with special
magic that they may enter the
hearts of all mankind and therein
perform miracles.”
