NWA FAIR DESERVES OUR SUPPORT
* a r *-$ V ' V f ,f « '
The Uth Annual Fair for Northwestern Alaska
is headed this year by a group of enthusiastic leaders
who have already given considerable time and thought
to the program to be presented this year.
The FW, which is being given in June, will serve
two purposes. Its exhibits and contest will be for the
local people as well as the excellent entertainment
planned. It will also coincide with the opening of the
tourist season and serve as an added attraction to the
many visitors who will be passing through the com
munity at that time.
To make the Fair a complete success the leaders
need the cooperation of everyone. All of us can spare
a little time to be part of this four-day celebration. It
is OUR Fair, let’s be a part of it!
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR TOURISTS
Do you have a room in your house where a visitor
might spend the night? Do you have a bed in your
house that could be used in an emergency such as
travellers arriving here and finding the hotels full?
Do you have a cabin that is vacant where a couple
could stay and spend a few days while sightseeing in
Nome?
Our housing conditions are limited we know, but;
other communities have successfully met the situation j
by everyone helping out and cooperating with the
hotels which are doing their utmost to accommodate
as many as possible.
This part of the tourist program will soon be or
ganized and a list made of available housing. Be ready
to offer what you have when the committee on housing
appeals to you.

VANCOUVER, (JP) — Char 1 e s
Weir found the thieves who took
the blooms off 168 large chrysan
themums in his flower shop. Pack
rats under a nearby storage room
had lined their quarters with the
petals. “That’s too expensive a
lining,” he said as he called the
exterminator. »
HELP SAVE YOUR ROADS
The coming of spring weakens
the roads as the frost comes out
of the ground. As the frost melts, j
the moisture saturates the mater-!
ial under the road and weakens
it seriously.
Under traffic, the roads break
up, mudhples and ruts develop
and water stands in the ruts,
causing further softening, so even
the best of roads may go to
pieces.
A few weeks of care at this
time means the difference be
tween good or bad roads after |
they dry out.
Remember these are your roads
and if you do your part in stay
ing off them until they are j
thoroughly dry, you can be as
sured of better driving pleasure.
In the near future the Alaska
Road Commission will begin to
open the local roads.
The Sunset Road has been
opened as far as the Snake River
bridge. The Nome-Solomon Road*
is in process of being opened.
Use of these roads is prohibited
to the public, except in an emer
gency, until the road bed is suf
ficiently dry for travel, at which
time notification will be given.
Other roads will be cleared in
consecutive order and the public
will be informed through means
of the local radio station and
newspaper.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Today is the birthday of an
other great American. John James
Audubon was born on April 27,
1785 and became a famous stu
dent of birds. His love of birds
was marked even early in child-,
hood.
Audubon made daily excursions
into the woods and returning later
with drawings of birds. So good
were his drawings that his step
mother sent him to study under
the great French artist Pavid. In
his late teens Audubon returned
to America to his father’s estate
in Philadelphia. Here he made his
first experiments in "bird band
ing.” He discovered that a pair of
pewees which he marked, re
turned after their annual migra
tion, to nest near the place of
their birth.

Mercury, the planet closest to
the sun, has truly been moving
rapidly. In less than a month’s
time it has moved from its most
easte^y position in its orbit, called
eastern elongation, to inferior con
junction with the sun. That means
it has moved one-fourth around
in its orbit.
The brilliant, visible planet in
the evening western sky is Venus.
It was at perigee, which means
closest to the sun on Wednesday.
