FINAL WEEK SUGGESTIONS j
To date several contestants have a perfect series in
the race for prizes up to $1000.00. If all of them make no
mistakes this final week a tie breaker puzzle will be
necessary. If so the tie breaker will doubtlessly be tough
enough to decide all winners.
So if you made mistakes earlier in the contest you can
try for a perfect set by re-entering. Back puzzles may
be secured from the Nome Nugget office today.
Any Alaskan is still eligible to win with a complete
series of 72 puzzles—accompanied by 25 cents for each
week’s set of six. All complete series must be post
marked before the deadline date of this week’s set—
midnight April 8, 1950.
Read instructions to be published with the final
Alaskagram in next Friday’s paper.
