A WELCOME TO
“ARCTIC CRUISERS*’
Welcoming incoming “Arctic
Cruisers” aboard the S. S. Victor
ia, Alaska Line vessel which arriv
ed yesterday morning, Nome has
prepared a Mid-Summer Festival
and Fair with entertainment of
diversified character, and hun
dreds of exhibits which should
attract not only the attention of
staid “Oldtimers”, but undoubt
edly prove of great interest to
those from the “Outside."
The success of the Third An
nual Fair in April this year brot
sharply home to Nomeites and
visitors from all over Seward
Peninsula, the true values and
purposes which such an institu
tion possesses for this section of
the country.
The fostering cf friendly ac
quaintanceships. promotion of bas
ic industries of the section, devel
opment of Eskimo handicrafts
and arts, and the furthering of
domestic training for our child
ren, are only some of the splen
did underlying motives behind
these Fairs.
With some of the most public
minded citizens of Nome work
ing religiously to put over this
Mid-Summer Festival and Fair,
and the public as a whole gener
ally interested and taking part
in many phases of its work, it can
i
I
be unquestionably slated that the
Grand Opening of the Fair to
morrow night will attract the at
tention of everyone ;n town, in
cluding all visitors.
Of major importance in the
staging of Fairs in Alaska, is the
assistance rendered by the Ter
ritorial Government. The Ter
ritorial Legislature appropriates
$2,000.00 for each biennium, to
each division to assist in paying
the expenses of these affairs. With :
out this asstance many Fairs held
throughout Alaska would prob
ably be forced to discontinue.
Much of this money is spent in
prizes and in other ways to esta
blish tile competitive spirit cf
exhibition which is so vital.
Through the activity contingent
to the Fairs, general business con
ditions have been proven to be
improved and the friendly spir
it of the town and its people
greatly enhanced.
We cite these facts for your
information and as a means of
calling upon you to lead in this
admirable work. As always oc
curs in matters of this kind,
there are some who see little to
be gained from the work neces
sary to put over the Fairs. But
with the optimistic viewpoint
of those who have the best inter
ests of the community and divis
ion at heart, it is believed that
they will join with the public

at ’srge and reap of the fine re
-u ts which come. One of the fir
st purposes of a Fair is in getting
everyone, young and old. opti
mist and pessimist together in
making it a success and bring
ing about the desired feeling and
enjoyment to be gained when ev
eryone is behind such a fine pub
lic-minded affair.
With this in mind, we welcome
you as visitors to Nome and trust
you will find many things here
of interest to you, and again in
vite you. one and all, to join the
crowds at the Grand Opening to
morrow night, and the following
days of exhibition and entertain
ment.
