Have You a Dog?
The Nome Cub Scouts are plan
ning a dog race for their April
event. Sam Ailak is chairman of
the committee for this one-dog
race and states that a dog and
coaster are alt the boys will need.
For the past two weeks he has
been helping the boys get proper
harness fitted to the dogs which
they either own or have borrowed.
One problem- now confronts the
committee: there are more boys
than dogs. If you have a friendly
dog or know of one that i£ avail
able that a small boy could use
it would make some little cub
awfully happy to be able to take
part in the nee. Call or contact
Sam Ailak or notify the Nugget
office.
The race is scheduled to take
place right after Easter, starting
at the U.S. Mercantile store and
ending at the Fire Station.
The rules are simple. The boy
that finishes first wins. He can
be on his sled or leading his dog
if necessary, but he must be with
his team. There are 21 Cubs, all
of whom would like to participate.
