Camp Fire Girls
Nome Organize
Hold Meetings
r
A group of nineteen girls
have been formed into a
Camp Fire Girls organiza
tion with Helen Fredreck
son as Guardian and Ellen
Sather, assistant Guardian.
The Kegoyah Kozga, wo
men’s club of Nome, is
sponsoring the organization
as a group and William H.
Bloom, superintendent of
the Nome Public School, is
the individual sponsor.
The girls have selected
an Eskimo name, “Paneat
Apunni”, meaning “Daugh
ters of the Snow," Individ
ual names have been chos
en by each girl and were
explained at their first
Council Fire on Feb. 15.
As far back as 1911, sev
eral persons were interest
ed in founding an organiza
tion for girls that would do
for them what the organiza
tion of Boy Scouts was do
ing for boys. A system of
honors was worked out con
sisting of things to be done.
They have been grouped
under seven headings call
ed “Crafts” and each craft
has a symbolic color. As a
girl fulfills the requirement
for a certain honor she is
awarded a wooden bead,
the color of the craft to
which the honor belongs.
These honor beads are then
used as decorations on the

In twenty-two different
countries today there are
Camp Fire Girls organiza
tions. It is most probable
that this group in Nome is!
the most northern one in
the world.
“Paneat Apunni” Camp
Fire Girls hold regular
weekly meetings every
Wednesday noon at school.
The girls are diligently
working to become Wood
Gatherers, the first rank
they may attain after meet

would be staged.
Dr. Hughes in charge of
the Ladies Day Races to
take place two week , from
yesterday, namely, March
8th stated he had many id
eas for putting on a real,
live and up-to-the minute
; program of events, with
a new race course to be
run on the ice of Bering
Sea in front of Nome—a
circular track on which the
racers could be seen from
town, where the race would
probably begin.
Other features he had in
mind included having the
Ladies of Nome officiate
throughout the day and at
the races, to make it a true
day for the ladies. Dr.
Hughes said he would have
much more to announce lat
jer concerning this big day.
It was voted that the
winners of the kid races
[Saturday be paid off im
i mediately and also the
! winners of the Fort Davis
{race, the first of the year.
| Winners may present them
. I selves to treasurer Mc
, Dougall at the Nome Drug
Store and receive their
prize money.
The Membership Com
| mittee will be around to
jail of the Nome business
'houses Tuesday to renew
for them their former mem
berships in the Nome Ken
nel Club, and with this as
a working medium, the fu
ture race programs of the
; organization will be assur
ed.
Already a dozen or more
have taken out their 1936
memberships, following the
big Dog Day Saturday,
stating that the entertain
ment and racing was cer
tainly drawing the inter
ests of nearly every Nome
ite, and that the sport
{should be fostered to the
utmost.
Optimism ruled thruout
the meeting, as the direct
ors got busy on the sched
ules for future races, with
the Big Ladies Day as the
main attraction to come
I next, on March 8th.

Ernest Burgh.
About ten minutes wait
ing time ensued before the
racers commenced to re
turn from up the coast, and
soon they were all back
and the sports were finish

and entertainment of the
public.
Winner of the minute
pool on the time of the race
which was sponsored by the
Board of Trade, was W. H.
Cameron, his guess being
56 min 25 seconds.
Winner of the second
pool was Tom Olsen with
a guess of 31.
Ten percent of the pools
went to the Nome Kennel
Club to help pay for priz

All business houses in
Nome were closed for the
holiday and everyone was
down to see the races.
Much interest is already
manifest in dog racing and
many questions as to fut
ure races were immediate
ly heard on all sides.
