Mrs. Jolliffe Dies
Of Heart Attack
During Snow Storm
Funeral services were held in
Fairbanks this week for Mrs.
Edith M. Joliffe, sister of Mrs.
Charles Frazier of Nome, and a
member of the Pioneer Auxiliary
No. 1.
Mrs. Jolliffe was one of a party
of eight stranded nearly 24 hours
Jast weekend in strong winds and
drifting snow just north of Isa
Ibelle Pass on the Richardson
Highway.
; Mrs. Jolliffe died early^Tuesday
’after the Army and the Alaska
Road Commission combined ef-!
forts to free the party from deep I
snow in a long, bitter fight against
high winds and bad roads.
The rescued were taken to Big
Delta, where Mrs. Jolliffe later
died of a heart attack at Bay’s
Hotel.
A caravan of four cars and a
pickup truck took off at 9 p.m.
last Friday from Trims Camp.
They were trying to get out of the |
camp before being snowed in.
Tiie party included Mel Jolliffe,
Mrs. Jolliffe’s husband, and six
others. Joliffe had been working
as a watchman in the area.
Just north of Rapids, the rotary
plow which preceded them ran
out of fuel. The party stalled at
6 a.m. Saturday.
The stricken cars were finally
reached at 3 p.m. Sunday. Mean
while, a helicopter from the Arc
tic Indoctrination School at Ft.
Greely had gone in Sunday morn
ing and taken Mr. and Mrs. Jol
: liffe and one other to the Rapids
roadhouse.
Mel Jollil'fe was retired from
the ARC here a couple of years
ago and he moved to Fairbanks.

Sure, The 17th of Ireland
Will Be a Great Day For
The Wearin’ Of The Green
Sure, and the time does pass
quickly. Think of it, tomorrow
will be St. Patrick’s Day again,
when it seems like it wras just last
week that we celebrated the oc
casion. Now it is with us again.
If you have ever had the good
fortune to visit the Emerald Isle,
it is not be difficult to under
stand why green is the national
color. The entire island is green—
the greenest green you have ever
seen. Every inch of soil is so pre
cious and cherished that it seems
that each day every blade of grass
and every hedge is carefully man
icured and trimmed with loving
care and devotion.
The thatched-roof cottages, the
stone fences, the rows of peat
blocks drying in the sun, and the
jaunting car, are all an integral
part of the life of the people of
Ireland. While they perhaps do
not have many luxuries that we
enjoy they are nonetheless a very
contented people and make light
of their burdens. They live well,
producing their own food and
building materials and always at
tempt to be independent, and fur
nish their own entertainment.
Outstanding is their hospitality
which is not a practiced thing
with them but very spontaneous
and deep-seated. They invariable
wish to share what is theirs with
their visitors.
And if you do visit Ireland don’t
miss the Blarney Stone — you
must by all means kiss it and
receive the gift of eloquence. It
is high on the parapet of Blarney
Castle in County Cork.
But now it is time to tell you
that the celebration of St. Pat
rick’s Day will be held in the Pio
neer Hall tomorrow evening at 8
o’clock. There will be cards, danc
ing, music and food. Oh, yes, there
will be a door prize, also—the
radio that is displayed in the win- ,
dow of Nome Hardware. Just
think of it—all this for only $1.25
—and that is no blarney!
