PIONEER ROOF
GARDEN SUCCESS
■■ , t . ; ■ <j, ' ; ■“
Those that missed the Pioneer
Hoof Garden given by the Pioneers
of Alaska Igloo No. One, last Sat
urday, overlooked a most enjoy
able event. An unusually large
crowd considering the severity of
the weather attended.. The pro
gram was voted to be the best
offered to a Nome audience for a
long time,
j II. S. Marshal Thomas Gaffney,
as chairman of the executive com
m'ttee opened the piogram in one
of the best speeches he ever de
livered. He reviewed the history
of the American pioneer life; the
part they played n our national
life and character, climaxing his
oration by stating that President
Franklin D. Roosevelt today is
appealing to the pioneer sp rit of
the American people to lead us
| out of the shambles of depression.
Adding in a dramat'c, emotional
voice, that the pioneer spirit never
|d d fail in its objective, or would
I not now fail our president. The
'speaker’s remarks were endorsed
! by sponiaueous applause at the
'finish and during delivery.
Chairman Gaffney at the conclu
js'nn of his address, introduced
! Miss Rita O’Leary and Miss Ger
j aldlne Rude, who gave a most
.graceful exhibition of tap dancing.
|The skillful rendit on of the dance
j places them among Nome's popu
lar entertainers. Encore after en
core attested more than words can
j express th§ appreciation of the
I audience.
| The next number was a solo by
Melvin Alvey, accompanied on th
piano by Mrs. Andrew Sather.
Both the singing and muse was
beautifully rendered. Nome of
fers this talented couple a sincere
welcome, and we trust we shall
I be favored by them on other oc
icasions during the winter social
i season,
The next. nuntwr was the hhi
I Billys”—oh boy what a scream—
[rL Steffens, • Alv'n Bahlke, Ku.

Loss Kinney, Mr. and .Mrs. Frank
VV’iaisv—we might « ; s -v m id
nut 11 a' ,i, is' useless to,- the scribe
ito do iiistice on papey 'o the fun
making HI! Billys. From the
tnoment the curtain raised, until
it dropped amid vociferous ap
plause, there was not a second
that fun did not reign supreme.
However, without 'ntentiqnally
faking any special glory from any
I member of the cast, one cannot

and Mrs. Frank,, Whaley. This
couple in rustic garb and dance
kept the audience in an uproar.
One feels assured they are as
much at home on the s'age as at
the controls of a Speedway plane.
The next number was Mrs. O.S.
Weaver with Mrs. Palmer accom
pany ng on the piano. The music
was superb and the rich soprano
voice of Mrs. Weaver as it filled
he hall with celestial melody,
would have entitled her to a pre
mere rank in the Metropolitan
orera. She vied with the Hill
Billys in the appreciative applause
of the audience.
The last number was Milton
O’Farrell, Nome’s high school pia
no artist. Milton rendered two
classical pieces exceedingly well.
We predict a bright musical fu
ture for th’s talented young man.
Mil on received well deserved ap
plause.
And the grand finale: The
march of the Pioneers—Believe ii
or not, this number touched the
hearts of young and old, as the
s'urdy pioneer men and women
marched around the spacious hall.
To the young Alaskan boys and
girls who watched with emotional
interest the marching faces of par
ents or friends, one’s mind was
unconsciously reminded of the
words of the poet:
"Breathes there a man with soul
so dead.
Who never to himself hath said,
Th s is my own, my native land.”
For young 'Alaskans dearly love
null' native land
.■ml then a. danc*. ice etenm,
cats with eoffe or the amber
fluid sparkling beneath its white
collar. It was an evening of good
elean entertainment, good cheer
and greater than all. ;n a world
distraught with fear and malice—
a bonhomie atmosphere you can
find in no place outside of Alaska.
During the dance, the two old
sourdoughs. Jack Kinney with his
fiddle and Jack Starr, dancing a
Liverpool horn-pipe, gave a ripple
of enjoyment to the placid mo
ments of the dance. The music
by the Nome Orchestra was en
joyed bj* all.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 17, (AP)
— Senator Huey P. Long, Friday,
requested that his name be with
drawn from the Washington Soc

perly how to dunk corn pone in

appointed h m. In a lengthy letter
to the jWashington register and
Social Register Association of New
York, handed out with an elaborate
serious face, Long humorously de
scribed a number of Washington
Bocal customs, ^implying all were
inferior to those of Louisiana es
pecally deploring the total inab
ility of Washington folks to ac
quire the knack of dunk’ng corn
