Fourth Of July
Celebration Sure
_
Continued From Page One
tertainment and athletic committee
is planning races for the kids, in
cluding bicycle, three-legged, snck
and conventional short dashes, open
to boys and girls.
Both committees were appointed !
by Mayor Rex Swartz, Chairman in !
Charge, and will have everything in
readiness to commence promptly at
10 A.M. the morning of the Fourth.
The Nome Brass Band was ap
proached by the committee and a
special request made that the organ
ization render a half-hour’s band j
concert before the racing commen
ces. Efforts are being made now to !
contact the band members, most of
whom are employed at the creeks,
and it is believed that they will be
on hand the Fourth of July, with !
their exceptionally fine patriotic
selections.
;
A telegram of invitation, was sent
today by Mayor Swartz to Com- !
mander Scammell of the U.S.C.G.
Northland, for he and his officers
and crew to be present in Nome j
during the celebration. Up to the
hour of going to press no answer
had been received. In case the .cut- i
ter is in port on the Fourth, the
Northland baseball team and the
Nome team will hold an outdoor
baseball game on the aviation field
in the afternoon. Both teams have
been practicing hard and there is
considerable evidence in view, that
such a game, if played will be a
close and exciting one.
These are all the details we have
at this time, but we have promises
of further information tomorrow; so
let's all get together and make a
snappy and exciting Fourth of July
for the Nome youngsters and dis
play Nome’s inherent patriotism for
this occasion. Decorations are pos
sibly obtainable and that helps in a
big way toward convincing our
selves that the Fourth is a really
special day.
