Henry Ullrich, chairman of the
Raffle committee, asked for two
assistants to help him distribute
tickets to those who call by phone
for chances on the Gold Nugget
and Fox Fur. If they did not ask
so many questions Henry says, it
would not be too bad. But they
want to know if another fur of
equal value might be obtained at
Icy Cape or Herschel Island to
match this one. Others ask: Was
that big gold nugget mined in the
Kougarok, or the Kobuk, or
where? All we can say at this
time it: This question will be ans
wered at the School Auditorium at
midnight, Dec. lJ?th. Better be
there.

Hollywood comes to Nome
Mary Ann Amarok, who re
cently returned from Honolulu,
advises, that among the topics
discussed at a dinner given in her
honor there, was the Pioneer Roof
Garden. Apparently it is now uni
versally known. Bearing this
s'atement out. inquiries have come
in to the PAA office here, so we
have been informed, about rates
for a round trip for a group of
Hawaiians. When asked to verify
this, Jim Walsh^ tight-lipped as
usual, smiled and said: “Sur
prises are always pleasant.”

Prison Break
Attempt Foiled
WALLA WALLA, Wash., (/P)—
Officers of the Washington state
prison grilled convicts Saturday
. > single out the men taking part
in an attempted prison break that
failed in a tunnel just 15 feet
short of freedom.
Two men were captured dra
matically Friday night by guards,
\\ ho drove a tunnel of their own
into the prison courtyard, cut into
the escape tunnel and found the
convicts still shoveling their way
toward the outside.
Prison supt. Tom Smith said he
believed as many as eight may
have worked on the tunnel in
shifts during the last six days.
The convicts had driven 70 feet
under the prison buildings and
were working under the hospital
next to the prison walls when cap
tured. Smith said they told him
they planned to be outside the pri
son walls by sometime tonight.
The two were Amada Cadena,
Yakima County, serving life for
first degree murder, and Harry
Callas, King county, serving 10
years for robbery.
