little and concerted action is being
taken to prevail upon the Legisla

XMAS EXCKHCISRS
In an interesting letter from
Council we are informed that on
Christmas Eve the city turned out
er.masse and attended* a community
Xmas celebration. Thru local sub
scription the A. B. Hall was ac
quired and beautifully decorated in
keeping with the spirit of the night.
Two big Xmas trees were loaded
with presents for both whites and
natives; a delightful lunch, plus
plenty of ice cream, was served af
ter an entertaining program was
rendered by the school children.
After the program a moving pic
ture was shown and then came the
Xmas Eve dance. Judge Steiner
was master of ceremonies and
proved himself capable of the res
ponsibility.
The letter also states that me
principle business of the district
this time of the year is wood cutting
and hauling, and that if Nomeites
are tired of paying high prices for
fuel and other commodities they
should move to Council, where “you
don't need to use any Are of food.”-^
Following is the program as giv
en by the school children of Coun
cil under the direction of Mrs. C. O.
Steiner, on the Xmas eve of 1922:

To keep its shoulder warm.
