have won 14 straight games. The
Lomen’s record at the present is
8 wins and 6 defeats.
At 8:15 the Nome Nanooks (8-6)
tangle with the dangerous 10th
Radio who stand (2-4) on the sea
son. The Nanooks have two re

Bronson and Companions
i Spend Night On Bering
Sea After Forced Landing
Lester Bronson, local pilot, re
turned safely yesterday from a
trip which ended in a forced
landing near Sledge Island Wed
nesday evening.
Enroute home from a trip to
Diomede Island, Bronson saw that
his gauges indicated he was about
out of gas so he landed on what
appeared to be a level stretch of
ice. The plane however, hit an
ice obstruction, breaking a wing
tip and propellor and other minor
damage.
Because it was more than 20
degrees below zero, Bronson and
his two passengers, Gary Longley
and Aarnout Castell Jr., started
walking toward shore. They walki
ed for 16 hours before reaching
the cabin of Morris Alexander, a
native living at Cripple River,
where they started a fire and
warmed up.
Northern villages were alerted
by AFRS that the plane was over
due and early Thursday morning
an Alaska Airlines plane piloted
by Bob Curtis located the plane.
Curtis also landed on the beach
and picked up Longley and Cas
tell who were walking to town
from Cripple, Bronson having
gone on with Alexander and his
dog team. He arrived in town at
about 1:30 p.m. yesterday after
noon.
Investigation of the downed
plane yesterday revealed that it
could be repaired sufficiently to
fly it to Nome, also that there
was sufficient gas in the tanks
to have allowed them to reach
Nome but that the gauges did not
show it.
Most business houses have an
nounced that they will be closed
on Monday, Feb. 22, along with
federal and territorial offices.

Rotary Contributes $100
To Eyeglass Fund
The Eyeglasses Fund for Needy
Children was helped substantially
this week toy a contribution of
$100 from the Nome Rotary Club.
A balance of $66.45 remaining
in the Save Our Prince Fund was
also contributed by Lawrence B.
Williams, who stated that although
the money was intended for food
for Nome’s favorite horse, he felt
that since much of it was contrib
uted by children the money would
be used in a way most beneficial
to the children that were fond of
this much publicized horse now
deceased.
