About A Hundred Attend
Midnight Mountain Service
About a hundred young people
of the community (and some of
the oldsters) enjoyed a midnight
outing last night under the spon
sorship of the local churches who
united in the open air meeting on
a mountainside for good fellow
ship. The outing was originally
planned as a midnight sun party
on the longest day of the year but
due to weather it had to be post
n poned. A bonfire with food and
songs made the evening most en
joyable.

position of “Hap” Lancaster at the
Nome Motors and is busy getting
acquainted with the several de
partments and services of the
company.

VISITORS TO NOME
Wien’s fast cruising airplane,
captained by Robert Savaria, with
visitors to Nome aboard, cruised
over Bering Straits, and there
was that great opportunity of see
ing at one time two oceans, two
continent and two days—Monday
on Big Diomede Island and Sun
day on Little Diomede.
Only up there in clear Alaskan
skies, can this great natural scene
be observed. «Nomeites, too, can
easily make arrangements to take
flying peeps at Siberia.
Aboard Captain Savaria’s car
rier were: Mr. and Mrs. Francis
D. Reider and Mr. and Mrs. Or
ville Yochem of Long Beach, Calif.
Mr. Reider is a member of the
Long Beach Harbor Commission.
He was greatly interested in the
harbor facilities of Snake River.
Both couples carried picture tak
ing equipment and considered
themselves very fortunate in
being able to take back to Long
Beach an interesting picture story
of the 1953 landing of the King
Island Eskimos on the beach at
Nome.
Another passenger in the group
was Robert J. Nelson, perishables
freight representative of the Read
ing Railway System with head
quarters in Philadelphia. Mr. Nel
son states that though this is his
first trip to Alaska, he has been
IN and THROUGH Alaska in
numerable times —r ALASKA,
PENNA. That Alaska is a large
anthracite coal center and its citi
zens are always interested in af
fairs that concern the Territory.
Mr. Nelson also said that some of
his friends intend to visit Nome
later in the season.
Hawaii grows 25 percent of all
sugar produced under the United
States flag in an area less than
that of New York City.

GET 534^ HOUR WAGE BOOST
ANCHORAGE, UP—Alaska Rail

BARTENDER FINED ONE CENT
FOR SERVING MINOR LIQUOR

age bartender was fined one cent
in magistrate’s court for serving
liquor to a minor..
It was a certainty there never
has been a smaller fine imposed

However, a five - day closure
also was ordered against the bar.
Magistrate George McLaughlin
levied the minimum fine after the
18-year-old girl’s own testimony
that she forged her baptismal cer

DOGS, HORSES MULES
COST ARMY $200 EACH
WASHINGTON, (£) — A dog
takes a pretty big bite out of the
Army’s pocketbook.
The average cost of a dog—used
for patrol duty with sentries and
guards—is about $200, a witness
told a House Appropriations sub
committee in testimony released
Thursday.
But the Army shouldn’t kick at
the price for a mule or horse. A
mule also averages $200, and a
horse $205.
