Curling Is in
The Offing
For Nome
Although the winter sport of
Curling was originated over 400
years ago in Scotland, it was first
brought to North America
! 200 years ago by members of
the British Army, where it was
introduced at Quebec. The first
organized club on this continent
was the Royal Montreal Curling
Club, formed in 1807, which re
mains the oldest club today. The
sport did not enjoy a very rapid
spread at first, next being intro
duced in New Brunswick in 1854.
Since that time the game has
grown rapidly, and in Canada
alone there are a number of pro
vincial curling associations, with
j a registered membership of nearly
30,000 curlers. American curling
enthusiasts have grown in num
ber also, until there are at least
that many on this side of the bor
der.
Curling came to Alaska with
the settlement of the first Can
adians here. Today the pastime
flourishes in Fairbanks and has
spread to Anchorage, Big Delta,
Fort Richardson, and is spread
ing rapidly throughout the state.
The enthusiasm is increased and
nourished by the various inter
national “bonspiels” (curling
tournaments) between American
and Canadian participants. The
Fairbanks club alone has con
ducted and participated in annual
“International Bonspiels” with
curlers coming from Aklavik, Enu
vik, Dawson, Keno Hills, Beaver
Creek, Bear Creek, Whitehorse
and other Canadian communities.
Each year invitations are received
to participate in matches at Utica,
N. Y.; Duluth, Minn.; and other
“lower 48” cities. The sport is
spreading in Seattle and the
Puget Sound area, as well.
Most curling clubs employ local
weather to provide them with the
necessary ice on which to curl, al
though many clubs (such as White
horse) utilize artificial ice. Many
have upward to fifteen “sheets”
on which to participate.
The Fairbanks Curling Club has
offered to supply the necessary
number of “stones” (sixteen per
game, weighting 44 pounds each)
in order that Nome may organize
a club of its own. If sufficient in
terest develops to form a local
club, Nome may eventually con
duct an “International Bonspiel.”
John Hutchinson, a newly-as
signed highway engineer at the
Nome district office of the High
way Department, a member of
the Fairbanks Curling Club, avers
that much enthusiasm and support
by the club promises a successful
future for the sport here. He is
currently in the process of de
termining the support and interest
available for the project, by the
local merchants and organizations.
It has been stressed that there
is virtually no expense connected
with participation in this pleas
ant winter pastime of curling. Ad
ditional information will be pub
lished after the completion of
plans and arrangements. Num
erous members of the Fairbanks
club, in offering their enthusiastic
endorsement of the proposal, have
voiced the observation that: “It
is indeed surprising that a thriv
ing, eager community the size of
Nome has never, yet organized
a curling club of its own.”
