AFTER RENOVATION
The Bering Sea Club has been
completely renovated with new
hardwood floor for dancing and
luxurious carpeting laid in v the
lounge.
Carl E. Johansen, well-known
Alaska artist from Fairbanks has
just completed some beau iful oil
painted murals on the walls of the
club, depicting Alaska scenes.
The murals, which each mea
sure about three and a half feet
by seven and a half feet illustrate
the following scenes: two large
polar bear on ice floes; Eskimo in
an oomiak shooting walrus; Eski
mo woman with a child, tom-cod
fishing on the ice; The lone wolf
howling at the moon on a winter
night; The Coast Guard Cutter
“Bear” in ice floes on Bering Sea; i

Mr. Johansen, who has distin- j
guished himself in other parts of

naturally, as his mother is a well,
known Swedish painter wi‘h
paintings on exhibit in the Swed- j
ish art galleries and is recognized
for her fine paintings of Swedish
royalty.

SERVICE CLUB PRESENTS
FIFTH LECTURE IN SERIES
Fifth in a series of lectures at
the Service Club was held last
evening at nine o’clock, when An
tonio Polet lectured on the arts
and crafts of the Eskimo people of
this division.
He reviewed the development of
.vary carving since the arrival of
the whitfe man during the gold
rush days and told how the native
comes by his ability naturally, as
all primitive races do. He related
how in all the tribes personal
adornment was the natural reason
for the fine carvings as found in
th(£ ruins of buried villages where
earrings, rings, combs, etc., are
found.
By demand, due to their skillful
ness, a large variety of items are
now being made as they are able
to copy most anything of which
they have a sample.
He discussed the situation now
existing whereby the Eskimo has
the ability to be the artist, but as
yet is unable to organize his work
in a business like • manner and
conduct it himself.
Mr. Polet presented George Ah
gupuk, well known Shishmaref
artist who attended the lecture
with ihs wife.
Many questions were asked by
the young men attending the lec
ture, not only about ivory carving
but also about the fur industry,
jade, gold and silver work, all of
which Mr. Polet explained fully
as to future development and pos
sibilities for business venture.
Next event was announced as a
debate—“For and Against State
hood,”
The programs have been ar
ranged by Jane Sniffen, special
service representative.
Mrs. Ruth Rock, general agent
of the Olympic National Life In
surance Co., of Seattle, Washing
ton, from Petersburg, Alaska,
where the company has its gen
eral office in Alaska, accompanied
by Stella Wann, Fairbanks repre
sentative, are in Nome for a few
days on business.
