CONVENTIONOTES
Panning for gold, sleeping in
tents, all this and more will be
found during the Lions Club Con
vention here in Nome May 29, 30,
31 and June 1.
Some of the incoming Lions
have expressed the desire to sleep
in tents as they did in Nome dur
ing the gold rush days. With a
shortage of hotel accommodations
for the visitors, this was a most
welcome idea expressed by some
of the other clubs. Of course we
don’t expect everyone to sleep in
tents, only those that have ex
pressed this desire.
Have you ever panned for gold?
The Nome Lions are bringing the
old-time days back again. Don’t
let it get around, but the Lions
are going to salt the beach. Satur
day, June 1, the Lions are sponsor
a tour of the city for the visiting
Lions and their wives. During the
course of that afternoon the visitors
will see some of the historical
things that have made Nome a
place to remember.
Eskimo dancing, blanket toss,
Eskimo games, historic landmarks,
various gold mining claims — who
they were owned by and how much
they were worth and to top the
day off, panning for gold.
Those who pan for gold, will
not only get to keep what they
pan, but a prize will be given to
those who pan the most. The win
ner will be named that night at
the Governor’s Ball.
Gold, tents and lost of fun.
Nomeites, let’s show the visiting
Lions what hospitality really is.
Shall we?

Will Establish Fishing Zone
HYANNIS PORT W — Canadian
Prime Minister Lester Pearson in
formed President Saturday Canada
will shortly establish a fishing zone
extending 12 miles from Canada’s
coast.
Kennedy reserved the U.S. posi
tion in favor of the existing 3
mile limit. Pearson assured the
President U.S. treaty rights would
be taken into account.
Our American population has
increased more than 40 million in
the last 20 years, a hike of over
35 per cent, but we still number
only about 6 per cent of the earth’s
people. But by 1975 or 1980 China
may become the world’s first na
tion to have one billion people.

Billikin on Front St.
Something new has been added
to Front Street. Tourist won’t
have to be able to read to find
the Billikin Shop as proprietor
Charles Frazier has mounted a
four - foot, hand - carved Billikin
above his shop window.
The Billikin was carved by Tony
Pushruk of King Island Village
and is in modern style with feet
and a happy smile.
The old Eskimos who visited on
Diomede Island before the Iron
Curtain cut off the trips to get
clay for their dishes, told about
a four-foot idol sitting on its feet,
which was in the village of Big
Diomede and was kept fed to keep
famine from the village.
We do not know if it has as
happy a face as the Billikin Shop
model has, as its face was “al
ways greasy” from being fed.
