FAIRS—AND WHAT THEY MEAN TO NOME
The successful termination of the Third Annual
Fair of the Northwestern Alaska Fair Association, at
Nome, Saturday, brings to mind that a world of civic
pride and achievement in community progress, has re
sulted from the four days of the present Fair just con
cluded.
The examples of art, industry, hobbies, home eco
nomics, and household features surprised the many who
attended the three days of the sessions. The quality
of the work and also the uniqueness of many exhibits
brought praise from all quarters for originality and
proficiency, as Nomeites, showing their interest in the
first Fair held here since 1931, proved beyond all doubt
that a Fair such as this, given every winter in Nome
will do much to cement efforts toward progress and de
velopment of this section, in addition to bringing for
th the examples of craftsmanship, industry and resourc
es of a district which has long been recognized primar
ily for its large output of gold.
There are other industries in the Second Division
many which have hardly been scratched for their poss
ibilities, and hosts of exhibits at the Fair last week,
brought clearly to mind, that opportunities in such lin
es as furs, scientific prospecting for minerals, ivory and
native craft, fish, are daily being passed up.
Fairs, have, since their inception, been the forerun
ners of development of industry and resources in near
ly every clime. And the same basis of progress proves
true here.
To the school children who participated in the
Fair by their numerous exhibits, should go the over
whelming approval and encouragement of all. The loc
al territorial school and the Bureau of Indian Affairs
School were especially well represented by exhibits of
all kinds. The Pilgrim Springs Mission had a distinct
ive booth at the Fair which, beyond all doubt brought
to public light the fact that these children are some
of the finest artisans and skilled workers in their line,
as judged by the beauty of their excellent exhibits.
And so, with the completion of this Winter Fair,
officials of the Association turn their heads toward the
staging of a special Summer Fair during the time when
Arctic Cruise steamers with several hundred tourists
aboard come to Nome enroute for a visit to East Cape,
Siberia, and ports in northern Alaska.
On to the Summer Fair—Let’s get behind this and
put it across with as much enthusiasm and industry
as was exemplified by the Third Annual Fair.

The excitement of the Fair is believed to have par
tially submerged the import of the regular municipal
and school board election to take place Tuesday, April
6th in Nome.
To begin with registration of voters was unusually
low, and the lack of interest a glaring fault marked ag
ainst the residents—as it is generally known that much
of a city’s representation is observed directly from its
voting population. Next the registration of candidates
was perceptibly slow in taking place, those who are fil
ed now, not having registered their petitions until the
last minute.
Next we come to the important feature of the el
ection—the casting of ballots for the candidate. Voters
of Nome should not fall down on this phase of the el
ection As large a vote as possible should be cast. Why
should Nome often be referred as being a town of only
a couple of hundred souls, when in reality more than a
thousand to fifteen hundred people make their homes
here in the winter? It all goes back to outsiders gain
ing the impression from the city election returns that
there are only a few people here. Cast your vote—that
is your constitutional right and duty. Whether you
like any of the candidates at all, it should be your duty
to your city to help swell the vote and create a true
picture of the importance and place your city plays in
the scheme of events.
To morrow the polls will be open from 8 am. to 6
' pm Those who did not register have the opportunity of
! swearing in their vote. There is no excuse for not vot
ing when you are near enough to the polls to get there
—let’s see Nome cast its largest vote.
