Roof Garden
Committees
Go To Work
Elaborate plans are in the
making for the 49th annual Pio
neer Roof Garden which bids
fair to outclass anything hereto
fore produced in Nome in the
■way of entertainment depicting
early frontier life in Alaska in
general and Nome in particular.
While this will be the 49th an
nual Roof Garden it will also be
the 50th anniversary of the
founding of the Pioneer organiza
tion, which took place in Nome in
1907. Nome Igloo No. 1 was the
first Pioneer lodge, hence it bears
the proud title, “Mother Igloo.”
It also has the distinction of
having on its membership roles
such notables as President Eisen
hower, Gen. Jimmy Doolittle (the
latter having been reared in
Nome and attended school here)
and other well known men of
national and international fame.
Frank Morris, president of Igloo
No. 1, has appointed a general
committee, which in turn has ap
pointed the necessary subcommit
tees to take over every phase of
the celebration, with instructions
to spare no effort or expense. The
entertainment will be so diversi
fied that young and old can par
. ticipate to their entire satisfac
tion.
During the evening many val
uable prizes will be given away,
notable among which will be a
huge, priceless gold nugget, the
largest of its kind known in the I
territory at this time.
The date is Saturday, Dec. 7
at the High School Auditorium.

covering a large portion of the
peninsula.

is semi-sacred.

Score Tied in Battle
Of Judge and Sheriff
Over Parking Space
DANVILLE, HI., (/ft—Score one
round for the sheriff and one
round for the judge in the heated
contest over that “unauthorized”
parking spot near the Vermilion
County courthouse.
Round one went to Probate
Judge John Unger when he cited
Sheriff William G. Hendrickson
for contempt because the law offi
cer towed his car away.
The car was parked, said Hen
drickson, in a place reserved for
the sheriff’s office. For towing it
away—and refusing to bring it
back—he was sentenced to two
days in his own jail. He was re-'
leased on bond and said he would
appeal.
But Sheriff Hendrickson won
round two Friday. When he towed
the car away for the second day
in a row, Judge Unger had to post
$1,000 bond to recover the car. i
He got his car back on a writ of
replevin.
Under such a writ, seized prop
erty can be recovered by putting
up cash equal to twipe the value
of the confiscated property.
Oklahomans Celebrating

‘Fence’ Proposed Between
North America and Asia
VANCOUVER, B.C. UfV—A start
fias made Saturday on building a
permanent fence, figuratively, in j
the North Pacific to separate the
fishermen of North America and
Asia.
The International North Pacific
Fisheries Commission created a
special three-man committee Jo
try and establish a fixed boundary
line which fishermen from both
sides would not cross.
I
f CHICAGO, WV-The Russian
earth satellite will have no effect
on America’s civil defense pro
gram, a federal civil defense offi
cial said Saturday.
Lewis E. Berry Jr., deputy ad
ministrator of the federal Civil
Defense Administration, said the
real threat to America is not the
satellites but “the hydrogen bomb
in other hands which also have
the means to deliver it in quan
tity.
He said the only significance, if
any, in the satellites is the pro
pulsive agents that put them in
their orbits.
An operational intercontinental
ballistic missile in the hands of
an unfriendly nation, he said,
would raise these implications for
civil defense:
1 The massive retaliatory pow
er of the United States would tend
to shrink since it “apparently”
will depend on manned bombers
for a considerable time.
2. Warning time may be re
duced from two or three hours
to perhaps 15 minutes, despite the
costly radar lines strung across
Canada and the frozen north.
3. Since the ICBM’s accuracy is
in doubt, any part of the nation
might be subject to a poorly
aimed hydrogen blast.
4. The time left for the United
States to perfect a non-military
defense necessary to complement
its armed strength would be ap
preciably shortened.

LOS ANGELES, 0P>—Bernard
Taylor put in a frantic call for an
ambulance Friday night after he
gave his 8-year-old daughter
Sheila a teaspoon of medicine out
of the wrong bottle.
He thought it was cough syrup,
but it turned out to be a danger
ous mixture of phenol glycerine
and iodine.
While waiting for the ambu
lance, Taylor told Sheila of the
mistake. She went into the bed
room and came back with six
pennies—the entire contents of
her piggy bank. Then, as her last
will and testament, she be
queathed her parents three cents
each.
She was whisked to the hospi
tal. A staff member there said the
burning mixture she swallowed
could be fatal.
Happily,, however, her will
won’t have to be executed. Doc
tors got to her before serious
damage was done, washed the
stuff out and sent her home as
healthy as ever.
