| Entertaining In States
j Seeing the United States for the
first time, Eskimo Tom Brown
of Nome, arrived in Seattle by
Pan American Clipper January 19
with his wife and three children
and a bag-full of Eskimo games
up his sleeve. The entire family
were enroute to New York to
demontsrate native sports and ac
tivities of the Far North to the
East Coast. The trip was arranged
by Mr. J. Fults, A. N. S. Principal
in Nome, Alaska.
Complete with parkas and muk
luks, the native family arrived in
Seattle after a 2200-mile flight!
from Nome, Alaska, and were met
at Boeing Field by Miss Gladys
Mcllveen of the U. S. Indian Serv
ice, who saw to their comforts1
while they were in Seattle.
The next night Tom, his wife
Esther and children Velma, 4;
Jack 2; and Philip, 5 months; who|
spent the evening papoose-style
on his mother's back, left by train
for Pennsylvania, where they met
an education troupe which was or
ganized to demonstrate native life
to the cities of the East Coast.
Seasoned air travelers, the
Browns took their 2200-mile Clip
per trip in stride, but were more
excited over the prospect of the
train ride to the East. The family,
who had never been outside Alas
ka before, had yet to see their
first train, and were eager to have
their trip by rail begin.
Among the games Tom expects
to show Eastern audiences are the
Eskimo “Jumping Jack” game, a
precarious teeter-totter sport in
which men standing on each end
of a board jump up and down,
bouncing each other into the air. |
Players sometimes reach heights1
of from 6 to 8 feet. Also he wants (
to show a “high kicking” game
gnd a game similar to American
soccer in which a hand-sewn ball
is kicked through a goal.

Dear Sir:
I received the Nuggets for Dee.
24, 26. 2R, 31, Jan. 2 and 4. this
^veek. The Xmas and New Years
editions are surely nice. I’m going
to keep them. The ads in the
Christmas edition are all so pretty
and each different. “The Last WITT
and Testament of 1945,” is surely
good, on page 1 of the New Years
edition.
By the way, the “History of
World War II,” in the Dec. 7 issue
is surely very interesting reading,
and well worth keeping. I have
bound my copy in card-board
binders.
My sister Edith says she really
gets more real news out of read
ing the world news in your little
paper than she does out of our
Denver paper, which is about 95%
advertisements.
It may interest you to know
I had a recipe, somewhere, for
potato pancakes, and I searched
everywhere for it and couldn’t
find it. Then I was looking thru
the Nome Nuggets, the last ones,
and there in your Housewife’s col
umn, was a recipe for potato pan
cakes.
You didn’t know that someone
so far away would enjoy and
make use of your new column.
Success to you, I am
Very sincerely,
Mrs. W. E. Smoke.
