Miss Tochtrop comes from a
pioneering Missouri family. Her

Mississippi steamboat captains
and a close friend of the late
Mark Twain.
The field officers of the Post ten

Chamber forward its dues to the
Territorial Chamber as soon as

the treasurer requested to take
the necessary action.

FAIR NOTES
—
Striving hard to make Friday,
April 12th, a red letter day and
one to be long remembered in
Nome, Carl “Andy” Anderson has
worked night and day in prepara
tion of what he believes to be the
Show of Shows.
The Follies
Not just an expose of beautiful
limbs, as he puts it, but dance
routines full of fun and assured
laughs. There are numbers that
will create doubt as to his “ALL
MALE” cast, for example:
The slim, slivery, solicitious,
supple anatomy of sweet Miss
Alka Sneltzer in her effervescent
vocalizing will vie with any of
the opposing sex.
The hulky bulk of charming
Christina Johnson in her strip
tease with the grace and artistry
of Gypsy Rose Lee is truly invig
orating and especially consoling
to those whose avoirdupois is a
bit complexing.
Honolulu Lou s swish and
sway” brings the beach o£ Wai
kaki to Nome. The niftiest bit of
human flesh ever surrounded by a
grass skirt. Like a tidal wave
she’ll carry you away, but you’ll
love it!
Miss Bunny’s ‘‘Bubble Dance”
is a combination of sublime and
ridiculous. Don’t miss seeing a
wild hare’s interpretation and
adaptation of sophisticated music.
It’s a spectacle you can’t afford to
miss.
The Persian Princess portrays
positive proof of her claims of
having performed before royalty.
Her exquisite exotic maneuvers
make you call for more . . . and
she’s got it!
Miss Georgie Dell, the Can Can
gal from Southern Cal. Not really
a gal, but a “dish.” You’ve never
seen such dancing . . . she’s spe
cific, she’s terrific!
A fitting finale that embraces
the combination of talent into a
subtle ending befitting the entire
cast will be something you’ll talk
about for months ... it will give
you a NEW LEASE ON LIFE!
Remember, it’s your Fair . . .
It’s our Fair . . . and Everybody
will be there!
All parties planning to go into
the dog races are requested to
contact Luther Dunbar at the tel
ephone office and make their en
try as soon as possible.
All exhibitors are requested to
have their exhibits at the school
gymnasium Thursday morning.
The weather seems to have de
cided to give us a break so the
outdoor events can be pulled off
in good shape.
Don’t overlook the opportunity
to get in on the car. It is a brand
new Dodge. All dealers have been
limited on the number they will
get so take a chance on getting
one. It may be YOUR LUCKY
TIME.
Superintendents of the various
divisions of the Fair, report their
departments shaping up very
well. In particular Mrs. Ole Hay
states that the proof of her House
hold Economics department, is in
the pudding, and requests that all
entries be at the Territorial School
Thursday morning or early after
noon.
Bud Ricter, in charge of the
amateur movie department, states
that entries for his department
should be left at the U. S. Mer
cantile Co.
The entertainment is shaping
in fine style as can be noted in
other items of this issue.
CELEBRATE ARMY
DAY ON NOME POST
Army Day was celebrated on
the post at Nome with a program
which included the address by the
Post Commander, Colonel T. L.

Army Day.”
Many residents of Nome attend
ed the luncheon prepared under
the able supervision of the Mess
Sergeant, T75 Norbert Hecht, and
his staff of G.I. culinary artists,
the main feature being roast
Maryland turkey, and as a finish
ing touch, fresh strawberry ice
cream produced by Pfc. Schmidt
the Ice Cream King of the Post.
The mess hall was gayly decor
ated with red, white and blue
streamers. On the walls were or
ganizational insignia and shield,
tree-hand drawings created by
T/5 Ralph Krottenger. The Sad
Sack cartoon was executed by
| Pfc. Albert Grant. The decorating
committee, under the direction of
Tec. Sgt Edward Sebring, really
extended themselves and created
an atmosphere which added to the
gaiety of the occasion. He was
ably assisted by many, including
j T 5 Hacther and Cpl. Shaka, Staff
Sgt. Soares and Hicks and Pfc.
1 Schmidt.
The Alaskans won the baseball
game with a score of 18-10. The
I
