Pioneer Igloo No.
1 Institute a Big
Drive Members
With the adoption of the new
amendment to the Pioneer laws
wherein any one arriving in Al
aska before 1910 is elligible to
membership, the local Igloo No. 1
Pioneers of Alaska, the mother
Igloo, launched a mammoth mem
bership drive at the last meeting
of the organization, this week.
A large committee has been
selected from the membership
roll and each name drawn one by
one dividing it in two sides
which has been named the “Hus
kies" and the “Malamutes”.
WThen the names were drawn it
was discovered that President A.
Bahlke and First Vice-President
Oie Hay were drawn on the op.
posite sides, therefore, both were
named leaders of their respective
sides.
The scoring of the contest will
be in the hands of the Secretary,
who is not a member of either
team. The secretary shall keep
records of the standing of the
contest and report it at every
meeting and have same publish
ed in the Nome Nugget after each
meeting.
It is hoped that this contest will
result in large gains in member
ship and finances, so that it will
enable the mother Igloo, to erect
a new home for the Pioneers in
Nome.
To be enrolled with the Pio‘
neers of Alaska, especially Nome
Igloo No. 1, is undoubtedly a dis
tinction and an honor, there is
numbered among the membership
| the real pioneers who blazed the
trail and laid the foundation for
this great northland.
