bv the Northern Commercial Co.
The Kotzebue Electric Assn, has
agreed to sell UVEC a 100 KW
diesel unit, payment to be made
from REA loan funds.

uled for Feb. 10 at the National
Guard Armory. This date will
coincide with the 55th anniversary
of the founding of Pioneers of
Alaska organization, which took
place at Nome on Feb. 10, 1907.
Nome having the distinction of
tbeing named Igloo No. 1, is also
referred to as the “MOTHER
IGiLOO.”
The celebration this year will
be unique in many ways. There
will be a program depicting early
life in Nome, comprised of a local
cast, impersonating miners, beach
combers, packers, etc., who con
tribute much to the life of the
camp prior to the advent of the
airplane, radio or TV.
Games of chance will be in
dulged in for which appropriate
prizes will be awarded to the win
ners. Children’s games cxf a di
versified nature in keeping with
early day customs will be held as
usual. There will be prizes for all.
Wien Airlines and Pan Ameri
can Airways, both of whom pio
neered aviation in Alaska and
contributed in large measure to
the development of its resources,
are donating to Igloo No. 1 a
round trip ticket for two, prop-jet
Nome to Fairbanks and return,
Fairbanks to Seattle and return
707 jet service, to be awarded to
the holder of the lucky number

“21” World’s Fair at Seattle.
The winner of this grand prize
' will also receive from Igloo No. 1

of $500 to defray living expenses
while attending Century 21. What
a treat! Pressurized jet service
Nome to Seattle and return, free

penses. Little did the early pio
neers dream of such luxurious
travel, and an opportunity to wit
ness the great inventions of mod
em science from all over the
world on display at the Fair.
It is evident from the interest
manifested in the coming Roof
Garden that it bids fair to out
class any event of its kind held
in Nome in recent years.
The members of Ladies Aux
iliary No. 1 are, as usual, co
operating loyally and rendering
valuable assistance in the prepa
ration of this, the 54th Pioneer

Really Burned Up . . .
LANESBORO, Mass. UFi — Mar
tin Reilly became so burned up
about his property he burned
down a 20—year-old, 18-room
house Monday.
Reilly, a tavern-keeper, said that
before this small western Massa
chusetts community re-evaluated
property the house was assessed
for $1,200. Then it was re-assessed
at $8,600.
The house sat alone in a 20
acre plot and is believed to have
once been the home of humorist
Josh Billings.
Reilly had owned the place
sines 1946 and used it lately only
for storage purposes.
Volunteer firemen stood by the
fire and cheered in the rain. The
Fire Department had issued a
permit to Reilly.
Pastor Harriot Brown, of the
Assembly of God Church, is leav

Billy Graham Avoids Pro
Cuban Mob to Make Speech
MARACAIBO, Venezuela UPi —
Evangelist Billy Graham spoke
to a crowd of 4,000 at a baseball
park here last night after duck
ing out the back door of a hall
to avoid a pro-Cuban mob.
Graham was spirited out of the
state legislative hall by local offi
cials when his speech to them was
interrupted by a crowd banging
on the front door and chanting.
Several legislators said they
thrught the crowd was out to over
throw the local government, not
to get Graham.
Elements favorable to Cuban
Prime Minister Fidel Castro in
Caracas, the Venezuelan capital,
have been rioting daily since the
start of the Punta Del Este, Uru
guay, conference.
Graham is making a tour of
five Latin-American countries.
