PIONEER ROOF
 GARDEN IS SUCCESS

The High School auditorium was filed to capacity Saturday night when the curtain raised and Abe Shallit and the mem- berS of his cast treated the peo- pie of Nome to an evening of diversified entertainment that kpet the audience spellbound during the whole performance. Everything was original and the jokes and impersonations went over big.
 One of the outstanding featur- es of the play was a classroom scene under the supervision of Professor (George) Madsen. His pupils being all members of Pio- neer Igloo No. l and the Ladies Auxiliary of that organization.
 The never-failing alley troupe performed in a burlesque "adagio," >" so effectively that it was generally conceded, profess sionals could not have improved on it.
 The school band under the dir ecton of Bernie Knudsen render ed appropriate numbers through out the performance which were well received.
 The address of welcome, deliv- cred by Chas. Jones, President of the Pioneer organization, though brief, was fitting to the occasion and was expressive of pioneer hospitality and good will. Dance music was furnished by the Nome orchestra, and it was evident from the way the en- cores resounded that the dance patrons were getting just the kind of music they desired
 At midnight, the drawing for the $10 door prize was held and was won by Clyde Kammerer. The Roadhouse keeper and his assistants were kept busy serv- ing good eats to all who patron ized them, and the games of var ious kinds seemed to engage the attention of those who did not indulge in dancing. Taking it as a whole, it was a most enjoyable agair and one that will long be remembered in the community. It was just what Nome residents needed at this time. It gave them an opportunity to relax from the strain and pressure of the na- tional emergency.
 The committee in charge of the program wish to thank all those who contributed to the success of the entertainment. Special mention being due to the follow ing: Mrs. Don Anderson; MT. and Mrs. Allan Davis; Jim Davidson; George Beacon; The Whaley's; Professor (George) Madsen the Nome band, and all others who rendered assistance.
 We believe that the concensus of opinion is, that if you want to put on a show in Nome you had better "see Abe" He can do it.
