Final Notes On
The Roof Garden
Chas. Jones, who is in tele
graphic communication with the
theatrical troupe enroute from
Hollywood, advises that they will
arrive on time tonight as per
schedule. Hotel reservations have
been taken care of and a recep
tion committee appointed to greet
them at the airport.
As the member sof this troupe
are traveling incognito, the public
is requested to be patient until
they are officially introduced at
the Roof Garden Saturday night.
The Pioneers appreciate the co
operation of the Alaska Airlines
and Pan American Airways in
making special rates for those at
tending from Anchorage and Fair
banks. And Wien Airlines also for
offering reduced fares to residents
of Kotzebue and points north.
Many are taking advantage of the
above reductions, and indications
point to heavy patronage as a re
sult.
Bill Munz has gone "all out" for
the Roof Garden and is offering a
free trip to all his Kougarok cus
tomers. Willie Foster says “I’ll see
that they all get home after the
big celebration.”
Many strange faces are notice-1
abel around town already. Hotel l
registers show a decided increase
in out-of-town guests; the stores'
report customers giving consider
able thought to the Roof Garden, |
judging from their purchases and
general conversation about this J
event.
A “G.I.” at the hase is quoted as
saying: “I’m going to win that Sil
ver Fox or bust." A New Year's'
gift to my sweetheart back in Ar- j
kansas. He might. Raffle tickets
are going fast at the base, and you |
know the Army.
Lt. Conners, shopping at the
Drug Store yesterday said: “I have i
my eye on the big gold nugget.
What a prize to take home to Bos
ton, and a chance to win it for i
just $1.00!
Local bachelors are not to be
outdone. They are crowding the
Nome Drug Store these days. The
clerks tell us they are going
strong on the fur and gold nugget
raffle tickets, beaming with de
light in anticipation of draping
this beautiful silver fox over
somebody’s shoulders; handling
the gold nugget and expressing ad
miration for such a rare specimen,
they usually say: “If I don’t win
it, I hope I get a chance to buy it.“
Husbands, don’t be bluffed by
the G.I.’s and the bachelors. They
have no cinch on the silver fox
and gold nugget. Your chance is as
good as their’s. Your wife or
daughter will appreciate any of
these gifts. Your choice on a $1.00
ticket.
Well, the stampede is on! The
trail is blazed! Fall in line. Des
tination—School Gym. Saturday
night. Program begins promptly at
9 o’clock.
NYLON SALE

Polet’s are featuring something
different in the way of sales. A
stag sale of nylons Sunday the
twenty-second between noon and
one o’clock.
This novel idea of a sale for

lem for many that have been un
decided as to what to give that
particular some-one for Christmas.
