Larry Galvin Plays Santa
The current give-away program,
starting Monday at the Nome
Hardware and U.S. Merc, has been
going on for many years now. In
fact — ever since Larry Galvin
came here some 20 years ago.
“This,” states Galvin, "is our
way of saying Merry Christmas to
everyone.” He commented that to
the best of his knowledge no one
has ever won twice. And he recalls
that Grant Jackson tried desper
ately for years to get something
free from him.
Well over 200 turkeys plus a |
wide variety of other prizes have j
been handed out during this
Christmas special. On one occa
sion they gave away a new auto
mobile — that was in about 1958;
and last year a free trip to Seattle
— during the World’s Fair — was
the grand prize.
As more of us are born and more
of us live longer, Americans seem
to be getting both older and young
er. .. . By 1970, it is estimated,
half the population will be under
20 or over 65.

Christmas Party
Sue Deems, Beta Sigma Phi
member, reports that the tradi
tional Thanksgiving Day baskets
were distributed by Phi members
to five needy families in the Nome
area. Funds for this worthy pro
ject were raised by means of a
rummage sale held at the City Hall
in November. These funds were
used to purchase the staples and
the extra trimmings were supplied
by Phi members to give that spe
cial Thanksgiving touch.
Mrs. Deems stated that special
mention should be made of the
assistance rendered by Boy Scouts
Mike Blanning and James Kelli
her who assisted in the distribution
of the baskets.
Plans are now being formulated
for their Christmas Party, said
Mrs. Deems. The party will be
held on December 14 at the North
Star Seaview Room. Members and
their guests are cordially invited.
The best dressed doll in town
will soon be showing her smiling
face, according to Sue Deems, and
she will be on display at the North
Star Bakery. She has reason to
smile, for each Phi club member
will donate to her a new garment
which will go with the smiling ;
beauty when all is raffled off
sometime before Christmas. Raffle
tickets will be sold at the North
Star and by members.

Look What’s In Store For You
By SHOPPER JEAN
Many of us still hold to the traditions of the good old
fashioned Christmas, in the giving of gifts having the personal
and creative touch of home. If a ’'store bought” Christmas isn’t
for you, there is still plenty of time for the do-it-yourselfers. There
are a wealth of gifts which don’t require wealthiness for giving.
For the talented seamstress, Cavota’s has terry cloth prints
in bright splashy colors — a very versatile fabric that will make
into a cozy robe, a fancy pillow cover, stuffed toys, hot pads and
a host of other gifts. Also stop in at Dorothy’s for lovely brocaded
satins and a variety of charming gingham prints and checks, An
apron for the hostess, a vest for father, a gown for sister, a luncheon
set for mother, are all there for the making!
Sometimes the best gift is the simple one that no one else had
thought of, and a kitchen made gift will carry your holiday
greetings with special meaning. With a bit of imagination and a
! dash of spice you can create your own delightful blend of tea. Try
adding a touch of clove, dried orange or lemon peel, and cinnamon
to your standard black tea for a real flavor treat. For the many
variations possible, check the array of teas and spices on display
at Polar Curio Shop. Blended to your taste and presented in a
cannister of your own design, your gift will wear a festive air and
find a receptive welcome.
Whether you like golden fruit cake or the darker rich variety,
fruit cake is a must for holiday entertaining, and a prize for Christ
mas giving. For wrappiny try using aluminum foil latticed with
red velvet ribbon topped off with one of the cheery corsages on
display at Nome Drug — two gifts in one! For serving, I know
of no better accompaniment than a wee glass of dry sherry. Paul
Mandeville suggests you try his Sandeman’s dry sherry, a Spanish
import, and a truly deluxe wine of world renown. For those who
prefer a sweeter wine, he also carries Sandeman’s Madiera and
Tawny Port.
With a household full of holiday ideas and projects, let no
cynic say, "Christmas has gone commercial.”
