1948 Nome Queen
(Continued from Page One)
pleted, the box with the tickets
for drawing on the big Queen
Prize was brought to front and
center while people anxiously
looked for their ticket stubs,
crossed their fingers and held their
breath. Lurisse Lowe dipped her
tiny hand into the box and drew
out the first numb/. No one an
swered to the call so the perform
ance was repeated. This time there
were results. Corporal Hoffman
came forward with the matching
stub and was given the list of
prizes to take his choice from.
He notified the master of cere
monies that the winning ticket
belonged to Sgt. Hubert, a buddy
of his who could not take in the
Carnival so the choice of a prize
would be up to his friend. We’re
anxious to know what Sgt. Hu
bert will choose. Both Corporal
Hoffman and Sgt. Hubert work
with the GCA unit of the AACS
at the army post here.
The next drawing was on the
Junior Queen’s winning ticket.
Several tickets were drawn be
fore a holder of one in the aud
ience was found. Carl Gross came
forward with the winning stub.!
He is a pilot who flys for Willie
Foster, and when presented with
th list of prizs, lost no time in
choosing the man’s Elgin wrist
watch.
The Arctic Club will announce
at a later date, the amount of
money which will be turned over
to the hospital fund as a result
of the Queen Contest. One-half
of the proceeds taken in from Mar.
21st to April 3rd will go to this
worthy cause.
The Carnival party ended with
a short period of dancing to re
corded music.
Reds Sav Norway
Sells Out to U. S.
MOSCOW, r;n — The govern
ment newspaper Izvestia said Sat
urday that Norwegian government
rightists are “selling out Norway
to the United States.”
“The Marshall plan holds noth
ing good for Norway except that
it endangers her independence and
is fraught with her complete sub
jugation to foreign imperialists.”
Izvestia said.
^Russian organs attacked Finn
ish non-Communists before Prime
Minister Stalin asked Finland for
a treaty of co-operation, now be
ing discussed. Norway has a com
mon frontier with Soviet Russia
under the Finnish peace treaty,
and there has been speculation
that Russia might demand a mu
tual aid pact from Oslo).
