TEACHERS SPONSOR RACER
Everyone's getting into the
“mushing" spirit.
Last week teachers from all the
Fairbanks public schools, Monroe,
Ft. Wainwright and the University
of Alaska got together and raised
$500 to sponsor last year’s champion
dog musher Beattus Moses who is
entered in the 1962 North American
Championship Sled Dog Races this
week in Fairbanks.
Don Wheat from Main Junior
High said that through this gesture
the teachers want to show their in
terest in this community and aid
public relations. He said that last
year Moses borrowed untrained dogs
from his village of Alakaket to add
to his own team and gave his peo
ple a double or nothing stipulation
on winning the race. He came to
Fairbanks then and won over all the
other practiced teams.
Moses and his brother who is
helping him and their 16 dog sled
team arrived in Fairbanks by Wien
Airlines Sunday and were met by
teachers of the area and taken to
the home of Mrs. Tulsa Ross on
Farmer’s Loop Road where the
mushers are staying.
In the last few days Closes has
been practicing his team of 16 small
dogs. Unlike last year, he started
preliminary work with them a cou
ple of months ago. If he wins again
he will receive all the money him
self.
Main Junior High School young
sters decided they too would like to
participate in the races and so indi
vidual rooms went together and
raised entry fees for some junior dog
mushers for their race two weeks
ago.
