WISHING YOU ALL

| HAPPY ANH PROSPEROUS
NEW YEAR

OFF WITH THK OLD
OS WITH THK SEW
Whoopee, atui Hurrah, a new
King is born, a young innocent
babe named‘ 1934, but before It is
much older will probably have
other names like "New Deal,"
"NIRA" or "Prosperity, where ari
thou?"
Old Man 1933, nicknamed "De
pression" went out lilce a light, his
last act before oblivion was to ush
er this lit le unsuspecting babe
upon us and the poor child was
left standing, l'ke Moses in the
darkness.
But a few' keen-eared God
mothers heard (he whimperings of
the lonely child and broaoaslted its
birth to the world. Then Presto!
the new king was proclaimed. His
arrival was welcomed by the mul
titudes, shou ed from the house
tops—-even piano tops.
The song, old man 1933 had
been singing was drowned out,
“but the melodiy lingers on.”
Not for a long time has the
birth of a “child” so rocked the
foundations of the A. B. Hall as
when little 1934 arrived. He was
crowned King amidst the hilarious
laughing and shouting of practic
ally all of Nome. “Vasu't you
dere Sharley?”
The Barn Dance was a Success
and we can spell it will! capital
letters. One of the best dances
Nome has had for a long time.
Everyone was there, that, mak
ing it stand out as the one big
event of the year, or we should j
say two years aw that Is the time i
spent there, the endi of one and j
the beginning of the other.
The mus'c was line, the or
chestra is to be congratulated, and
Happiness reigned supreme.
In order'* thai the regular or
chestra might take a rest and
a chance at the cooling refresh
ment of the punch bowl, the Hill
Blllys took over the center of the
stage and produced weird but
haunting melodies from their var
ious Instruments. Good old fash
ioned tunes and many not so old.
They added teal atmosphere to the
Barn Dance,
Then, after twelve o'clock when
everyone wan getting their second
wind tor th4 dual half, there came
a pause, all was stillness, when
right s ralglvt to the center of the
floor, a little elf danced her way
into our hearts. During the whole
lovolv dancd many masculine
hearts stopped functioning. Mrs.
Prank Whaley was clever, very
clever, nd we all thank her for her
entertainment.
Immediately following her exit,
a bronco buster from the wide
open spaces lassoed the attention
of*everyone with his swift and deft
handling of the lasso. Mr. Lyman
Brewster la an old hand at the
game and really can’t be beat, he’s
good. We muatn’e forget to recoin
mend Doc Pratt on his work with
the rope— h* hr a very good mech
anic. S’
Dancingt; continued till the
wee small hdiirs of the day then
the god-mothers packed their In
fant in parka and mukluks and hit
the trail for Home Sweet Home.
Long liv* the king!
