School News
HIGH SCHOOL
The skiing party was certainly
wonderful last week, and all the
students who went really enjoyed
themselves. Although many a
spill was taken, there were no se
rious injuries and everyone came
home hail and hearty.
The Junior Class had a meeting
Wednesday afternoon to elect
class officers. Walter McCarthy
was elected president of the class.
They are planning to send for
their class pins and rings soon.
FIRST AND SECOND GRADES
Carolyn Hyndman celebrated
her eighth birthday Sunday the
10th, and Joseph Norbert cele
brated his tenth Monday the 9th.
The B class of first grade are
all happy to have at last com
pleted their basic first reader. All
passed the word test, one received
100%, no grade was below C.
Carolyn Hyndman brought six
of her birthday jonquils to school.
THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES
The language classes made
March booklets containing a
March calendar, an original story
about March, poems about the
month with free hand drawings to
illustrate the poems.
The third and fourth grades
have have two gold star days for
perfect attendance.
FIFTH GRADE
We made shamrocks for St. Pat
rick’s Day in Art Class.
We are studying about the
states of Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi, and Alabama. Of
course “Cotton King” rules there.
Alabama was once called the
“Cotton State” because it raised
so much cotton. The cotton pro
duction is now quite evenly divided
among the southern states, except
Florida. Kentucky and Tennessee
raise much tobacco. Tennessee
and Mississippi produce timber
and many other valuable products.

| Arctic Club To
Hold Carnival
And Elect Queen
_
The Arctic Club, under the su
I pervision of Rob Long, chairman
I of the Kennel Club committee, is
j making preparations to hold its
j annual Carnival and Queen Con
j test.
This year’s carnival will be in
j line with like events put on by
this group for many years. The
; High School auditorium is virtual
j ly rebuilt into a wonderland of
j games, fish ponds, and other
amusements, with hundreds of
| prizes for the participants. Danc
j ing is in progress during the eve
' ning, and the election and crown
: ing of the Queen of the Carnival,
Miss Nome of 1946, culminates
the evening’s festivities.
Rob Long announces that his
committee will distribute ballot
boxes, and posters throughout the
city, also tickets for votes on next
Saturday afternoon.
Merchants of Nome have been
requested to nominate and spon
sor candidates for Queen, and are
j showing a lively interest in the
contest. A list of those nominated,
and their sponsors, will be in the
Monday issue of the Nome Nug
get, and returns on the voting will
be posted in the window of the
Nugget office, showing the rela
tive positions of candidates in the
race, until March 30, the date of
the Carnival and Crowning.
The age of a salmon can be
found by examining its scales. Ac
cording to the Encyclopaedia Bri
tannica, each scale shows growth
rings somewhat similar to those of
a tree. As seen through a low
power microscope, a series of wide
rings with another series of nar
row rings indicates one year in
the life of the fish.

WASHINGTON, D. C. — The
“eternal triangle” is discussed by
John Jones (right), president of
National Institute of Diaper Serv
ices, who operates Dy-Dee Wash in
this city, and Fred H. Knowles,
head of Baby’s Valet, Phoenix, Ari
zona, a member of the Institute’s
board of directors. Mr. Jones is
explaining the new kite method of
folding diapers which was created
as a wartime conservation measure.
The National Institute of Diaper
Services is a trade gTOup composed
of 42 diaper services throughout
the country. An emblem is em
ployed by NIDS to indicate diaper
services which are authorized mem
bers by virtue of having passed
sample diaper tests and plant in
spections, demonstrating mainte
nance of high standards of sanita
tion and customer service.
He Smoked 30 Years
To Keep a Veteran Warm
BRAZIL, Ind., OP)—Mrs. Frank
Busbey sent a quilt on its way to
a veterans hospital in a 30-year
trail of tobacco smoke. For no
particularly good reason, her hus
band started saving empty tobac
co bags when he took up smoking
30 years ago. Then the textile
shortage came along, and Mrs.
Busbey ripped into the bags,
washed them and ironed them,
and put 185 of them into her
patchwork gift.
