WEATHER SLOWS
CLEAN-UP WEEK
With rain and cold wins Clean
Up Week got off to a slow start—
but the enthusiasm to beautify
the community has not dimin
ished as the more hardy have
been piling up debris in all parts
of town.
One good citizen has suggested
that when the rubbish has been
removed some enterprising per
son with a dump truck should
revive the business of selling
graded clean beach gravel, marble
size walnut size, egg size, etc., to
beautify front yards and path
ways.

Clean-up
Week
Let’s look around and see what
we can do to make Nome, a
cleaner, healthier and better
looking town to live in.
A little soapsuds, paint, and
raking up the yard -- disposing
of unsightly cans and garbage
will do wonders. . . .

Nome Kids Get Ride on
Runaway Ice Floe
The shore ice anchored in front
of town broke away last evening
when a strong north wind was
blowing, taking three children
who were on it and causing con
siderable excitement, as it moved
fast.
The children were Angelo Buff
as Jr., Steve Peterson, and Bobby
Davis.
Two skin boats belonging to
Ralph Olanna and Sam Mogg
went out after them. They were
picked up about a half mile from
shore. The boys state they were
not scared or worried.
Within an hour the ice was al
most out of sight.
