July 4.Fireworks Display
There is always something new
and novel happening in Nome.
Fireworks have been a big prob
lem for Nome as the midnight
sun, which shines on the Fourth
of July, competes with the beauty
of the fireworks display.
Commissioner Ted Duffield,
who was in charge of putting on
the last display, two years ago,
has been working on the problem
and thinks he has found a solu
tion. He has written the company
which supplies the fireworks to
see about getting us some smoked
glasses to wear, like the PAA fur
nish passengers on their planes,
to eliminate the sunshine and
bring out the bright coloring and
sparkle of the traditional part of
the 4th of July celebration.

Host of Friends Celebrate
Golden Anniversary Of
Mr. and Mrs. Swanberg
A host of life-time friends of
Mr. and Mrs. Nels Swanberg, Sr.,
gathered at the Arctic Club last
Saturday evening to help them
celebrate their golden anniversary.
The party was given by Mr. and
Mrs. Nels Swanberg, Jr., only
son of the well known Nome
couple, and Mr. and Mrs. Axel
Edman. Mrs. Edman is the former
Grace Swanberg.
A beautiful tea table was cen
tered with a gorgeously decorated
anniversary cake lavishly sprin
kled with gold leaves and topped
with a miniature bride and groom.
Pouring at the table were Mrs.
Conrad Yenney and Mrs. Helen
Bookman. Lois Swanberg, grand
daughter, was in charge of the
oake, while the younger grand
daughters, Mary Jo and Diane,
saw that the many guests regis
tered in the guest book.
A group of friends presented
(the couple with a “pot of gold”
which they claim came from the
foot of the rainbow of happiness.
The presentation was made by
M. J. Walsh in well chosen words.
Nels Swanberg, in responding,
stated that the people of Nome
today had not changed but the
country had. The wide open
spaces exist no longer, and rules
and regulations and permits ham
per those who would strike out
to stake a new discovery or open
up new lands.
Mr. and Mrs. Stan Bartlett, for
merly stationed here with Pan
American, arrived yesterday from
Annette Island, where they are
now stationed, to visit with
friends in Nome. They have their
two children with them.
