Christmas Carols
Were Sung Xmas
Eve Native Choir
Depite the severe bliz
zard Christmas Carolers,
lead by Miss Dorothy Rus
sell. Deaconess, director,
proceeded with their plan
of driving around Nome
singing Xmas Carols.
Many people at places at
which they stopped at say
they heard them distinctly
when their voices carried
down wind, but in some
places nothing could be
heard but the howling of
the wind.
It was unfortunate that
the storm came up Christ
mas Eve as everyone in the
city was anxious to hear
the Xmas Carols again.
There were 23 members in
the mixed chorus and sing
ing was done in both Eski
mo and English.
Albin Poison kindly drove
the team for them as they
called at the East End of
Nome. North, and West,
stopping frequently in the
residential districts for
their songs. They started
out about 10 P.M. and con
tinued until about 1:30 AM
Xmas morning. After sing
ing for some time they en
joyed a hot lunch at the
North Pole Bakery and
then went out into the
storm again. Much credit
is due each and every one
for their pluck and courage
in braving the storm and
fulfilling the hopes of many
of the Nomeites that they
might hear the Christmas
Carols sung on Christmas
Eve.
FUNERAL NOTICE

late Alexander Patterson,
will be held at 2 P.M. Fri
day, (tomorrow), at the
