Candle, Alaska, Dec. 21, 1936.
Editor Nome Nugget:
Hello! Everybody down Nome
way. At last the Candle Com
mercial Club brings Candle to
the front. The Candle Commer
cial Club held its annual meeting
last night Dec. 19th in Roust's
Hall. Election of officers, report
of officers, new business and dis.
cushions followed. A motion for
adoptin a similar resolution as
Igloo No. 1 Pioneers of Alaska,
of Nome, for a local school board
was carried. Another attempt to
try and obtain that much needed
landing field for Candle, was al
so made.
“Be it known, Candlites die
hard. A motion was made and
adopted, whereby, we (the peo
ple of Kotzebue Sound district
oould get weekly mail service,
routed via Nome, instead of Un_
alakleet. We are not complain
ing, exactly, nor are we criticiz
ing. But, one instance was brot
to our attention recently, stating,

going letter from Nome reached
Candle. Do you blame us? Let’s
have a weekly mail service. And
dear Nomeites, we want you to
know this service will also be a
great benefit to you, too. As we
know you like to hear from us
regularly, not just at election
time. So give us a hand.
We have some newcomers this
year whom we very cordially
welcome into our community:
Mr. and Mrs. Glen Smythe, for.
merly of Seattle, Wash., Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Watkins, of Juneau,
Alaska; Mr. Jack Locke, Mr.Dean
,Holt.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Folger, who
! were formerly with Lomen Com
| mercial Co., in Teller, will take
I charge of Lomen’s store in Can
dle during Dewey Goodrich’s ab
sence. Mr. Goodrich left recent,
ly for the states by plane to spend
the winter. And well, well, well,
last but not least, that charming
little personage,Miss MaryWalsh,
whom it was Candle’s good for
tune to secure as teacher this
year.
This district is coming to the
front again. The Arctic Circle
Exploration Inc., had a very suc
cessful season and is now engag
ed in hauling 200 tons of freight
from Keewalik preparatory for
next season’s operations.
Warsing and Evern also report,
ed a good season, likewise Billy
French of Jump Creek v
The total recoveries for this
district was over three hundred
thousand dollars. Tom Roust
i stripped a large area of ground
on Jump Creek preparatory for
next season’s mining activities.
Louis Opaug, an old timer in
Candle, who has been very ill for
the past few weeks, is still in a
serious condition.. Charles Oberg,
who was quite ill this winter,
just returned from the hospital
in Kotzebue and is convalescing
rapidly. Plans are well under
way for the big Christmas school
program which will be held in
the Roust Hall on Christmas Exe.
A huge tree has already arrived
and all Candle is agog with ex
citement and anticipations for a
bigger, brighter Yuletide.
Sowing machines whirred mer
rily this past week, making the
Christmas stockings for the child
ren’s tree—housewives vied with
each other for choicest cakes and
salads for the big lunch. But
mingled with all, the true spirit
of co.operation. You know, “we
can thank God for everything
good", but we musn't forget to
thank each other for expressing
the goodness that God has placed
in our souls.
Now that Christmastide is upon
us. Let’s wrap up a package of
love and tenderness in a sheet
of unselfishnes, tie it with a
string of kind thoughts, words
and deeds, paste a sticker of sin
cerity on it and label it, A Little
Gift of Appreciation. Then, give
it to the one who needs it most.
The voice of Candle wishes you
all a very Merry Christmas and
a Happy and Prosperous New
Year and here’s hoping it extends
right down the future.
