Women's Bowling Assn.
Sponsors ‘Scotch Doubles’
Saturday and Sunday
On Saturday, Feb. 9 the Aurora
Women’s Bowling Association will
begin two days of bowling fun in
the form of “Scotch Doubles.”
The game of Scotch Doubles dif
fers from normal bowling in that
it consists of a team of two play
ers. Number one rolls the first
ball of the first frame — Number
two rolls the second ball. When
player no. 1 makes a strike, the
second player rolls the first ball
of the next frame, etc. The play
continues in strict rotation through
a series of three games.
This is a handicapped event
based on league averages as of
Jan. 16. However, anyone with
out an average may enter, bowling
on a stratch basis.
Prizes will be awarded to the
winners of each division: men,
women and mixed, at least one
prize for each ten entries in each
division. There is no limit to the
number of times a person maj
enter.
Those who participated in the
event held on Jan. 26 found the
game filled with fun—and frus
tration, and are looking forward tc
the coming week-end. It is hoped
that all bowlers will try their skill
and/or luck Saturday and Sunday,
Feb. 9-10, 2 p.m. until 11 p.m.

LETTER TO EDITOR
On behalf of myself, tne united
States Air Force, and particularly
the Search and Rescue personnel
of Eielson AFB, I would like to
express my gratitude for the won- :
derful support rendered by the
City of Nome during our recent
operation in successfully rescuing
two Eskimos from an ice floe in
the Bering Sea. The services pro
vided by the citizens of Nome prior
to the rescue contributed immea
surably toward its accomplishment.
Special recognition is due Mr.
Pearse Walsh of Wien Airlines,
and Mr. George Lienard of Alaska
Airlines, who permitted the air
crews the use of the air terminal
as a headquarters. Subsequent to I
the rescue, the helicopter crews
were delayed in beginning their
return to Eielson Air Force Base
due to mechanical difficulties and
adverse weather. Many individuals
either assisted in efforts to repair
the helicopters or by making the
unscheduled stay in Nome as plea
sant as possible for the crews.
The courtesies extended by Mr.
and Mrs. Ernie Gustafson and all
the personnel of the North Star
Hotel certainly made living condi
tions very comfortable. Mr. Russell
Hart. FAA Station Manager, the
Weather Bureau personnel, Mr.
Blanning of ACS, Major Steele of
the Army National Guard, Mr.
Engstrom, personnel in the RCA
and State Highway maintenance
shops and many others far too
numerous to list afforded services
deeply appreciated. With all sin
cerity, I hope that our gratitude
can be conveyed in one brief sen
tence: “City of Nome, we thank
you.”
