High School Holds
Skating Party Tuesday
The high school took advantage
of the favorable weather Tuesday
evening and held their annual
skating party at Halverson’s Lake
about half a mile northwest of
town.
Immediately after school the
boys hiked out to the lake and
organized a shovel brigade to
clear the lake of snow. A 15-foot
section was assigned to each boy
and in a very short time the
skating area was ready. They also
cleared a corridor about six feet
wide around the circumference of
the lake.
Then beneath the illuminating
light of the. Hunter’s Moon, a
large group gathered to see the
first spark appear from a single
match, which ignited wood shav
ings. Soon a blazing fire aug
mented by a sack of coal and
beach wood warded off the cold
all evening. The ice was almost
perfect and the laughter and
shouting expressed the joy of the
healthy, exhilerating sport. A
grand march was held by the
skaters.
Two faculty members, John
Rauch and Olaf Holverson en
joyed the skating with the stu
dents.

Week of Prayer and
Self Denial To Be
Observed by W.S.C.S.
The week of Oct. 25-31 has
been set aside as Week of Prayer
and Self-Denial. The observance
will be held in Nome on Thursday
evening at the home of Mrs. Robt.
Baldwin and all are invited to
come.
This week has been observed
since 1944 and in that year the
offering was $196,279. In 1955 it
was $483,023. Both the hospital
and LWY Community Center in
Nome have benefitted from this
fund.
It is when we go in prayer for
several days, concentrating on the
needs of others in various lands
that we become aware what their
needs really are. As we study
the needs of other countries we
come to realize that if we pray
earnestly we are moved to give
of that which we have to help
others to help themselves. “As
each has received a gift, employ
it for another as good stewards
of God’s grace.”
Nome Rotary Club holds its
regular weekly ' luncheon meeting
tomorrow at noon at the Bering
Sea Club.

ItI to the voters who supported
my election to the Territorial
Senate on Oct. 9. Your confidence

heartening.
Any campaign is bound to cre
ate rivalry, yet, now that the
election is ever, it is time for the
elected as well as all others to
forget their differences and work
together for the good of all as a

Your legislators will be much
more effective in the job they
have to do if you will continue to
give your support and lend help
ful and constructive criticism in
the days ahead. It is your respon
sibility to aid in keeping your
public servants informed on per
tinent local problems and matters
of importance to you.
During niy term ahead I solicit
