FISCHER RETURNS
WITH A NS 1
Emil Fischer, who has been de
tailed to Nome as a replacement
for Elmo Miller at the ANS office,
has been greeting many friends
made while he and his wife were
i teachers here from 1937 to 1939.
Since leaving Nome the Fisch
ers have taught at Unalakleet,
H o o n a h and Mt. Edgecumbe,
where Mrs. Fischer is now teach
ing.
Mr. Fischer was surprised at
the many changes in Nome, es
pecially those on Front Street
1 since the thirties. “So many busi
* nesses have moved,” he said. “The
’ U.S. Mercantile crossed the street
and the Nome Nugget moved
downtown.”

Dog Racing Starts
In Fairbanks
FAIRBANKS, (JP)— Parka-clad
mukluked residents shivered in
bright winter sunshine and 13
above zero weather along the
banks of the Chena river today
for the first lap of the three-day
dog derby.
The event marked the opening
of the Fairbanks Winter Carnival.
Favorites in the $6,000 dog sled
race dropped behind in the open

Smoke with a time of 66:35. Sec
ond was Stevenson Sampson with
89:36, and 3rd, Earl Norris, 92:37.
Eighteen dog sleds from
throughout the Territory were en
tered in the competition which
will cover 70 miles in two 20-mile
. ... fZ . I. * *
heats and one 30-miler.
Gareth Wright, 22, defending
North American champion, wound
up fourth in today’s heat with a
time of 93:14. Wright drew the
starting position which was a
handicap because he had to break
trail. His lead dog, King, who
raced before him to a clean sweep
of Fairbanks and Anchorage com
petition last year, was in the har
ness today. But much of the rest
*
of his team was new.

1946 - 47, Andy Kokrines, 3 9,
placed seventh.
