COMMUNITY XMAS IN NOME
Yesterday’s group of interested Nome citizens,
feeling the need of organizing a working activity, for
the staging of Nome’s annual Community Xmas Tree,
have the right spirit in mind when they talked of put
ting on a glorious celebration of the Yuletide.
Customary for many years the Community cele
bration serves to render the proper reverence of the
Christmas holidays, and at the same time to assist in
the cementing together of the community as a whole.
Since the fall of 1934 Nome has been without an
auditorium sufficiently large to accomodate the entire
population. Our new school auditorium fills that need.
Efforts to secure the use of this hall for the celebra
tion, it is believed, of course, will be successful, and
once again Nome will be assembled in one large hall
to commemorate and revere the birth of Jesus Christ.
During the past two years separate celebrations
have been held, one for the white people in the Feder
ated Church and one for the natives in the Native
Church.
Another feature which will stand out is the action
of G. R. Jackson, President of the N. W. Alaska Cham
ber of Commerce, and president of the Miners and Mer
chants Bank, in donating a large supply of display fire
works to the Community Xmas, to be a big entertain
ment side of the season. It has been some years since
Nome has witnessed the beautiful displays originally
included in the Community Christmas exercises.
This year should stand out as a special occasion
in that the efforts of the public will probably be devot
ed to arranging for the most lavish as well as enter
taining programs, seen for many years. The spirit of
the Yuletide in Nome has been irreproachable, but this
year should see the public at large interested as never
before, with the nation and Alaska steadily drawing
away from the black realms of depression, and the
presence of convincing signs of the return of prosper
ity and well being.
