 Garden Specials

1oMOhhOW nlgnt at pm. the doors of the school gymnasium will swing open to admit the throng of pleasure seeking people of Nome. The program will start at 9 o'clock sharp and from then on until the wee hours of Sunday morning there will not be a dull moment.
 The surprise numbers on the program are going to be so unique original and diversified, that you will wonder in amazement how the Pioneers were able to produce such talent. But true to their re- sourcefulness, they have spared no effort or expense to make this the 39th Annual Garden, the big gest, most colorful, glamorous af- fair that has been offered the peo- pie of Nome in many years. It will be well worth the admission to witness Helen Nordlind step to the footlights and introduce the Hol- lywood stars. The costumes, mod ern to the nth degree, might con- fuse and cause some bewilderment to the old timers. But there will be sufficient impersonations rem iniscent of the good old days to satisfy the earliest residents, as we'll as to arouse the curiosity of the latest arrivals.
 Dancing to the strains of se- lected orchestra will be in order immediately after the program. Modern dances, interspersed with old time Virginia reels, square dances, etc, will be yours at your pleasure.
 During intermissionS you will be given an opportunity to play the games of chance. The roulette wheels will be spinning; turkeys and other prizes will be handed out to the lucky ones. Fish ponds; bingo, fortune telling booths, snake charmers, etc, will be in operation for your pleasure and entertain ment.
 Drawings for the huge gold nugget and the beautiful silver-tip fox fur will take place at mid night. Only in Nome can you find an opportunity to win such rare specimens.
 Frank Love, mining engineer and geologist, with wide experi- ence in mining in Colorado and California, made the statement that 'this is the finest gold nugget specimen he has ever Seen." Joe Dexter, veteran trader from Colo win, contends that whoever is the lucky one to win the silver-tip, will have one of the finest prime furs he has ever handled.
 Lunch-When you feel tired of dancing and gambling, step up to the counter and enjoy real miners coffee, made by no less a connois- seur than Lucia Grant. NO CHARGE.
 Stores will be closed; mines shut down; roads to the base will be kept open; cabs at your service. All trails lead to the school gym nasium. Don't Miss Ii. Might Be Your Last Opportunity.

School Closing
May Result from
Charter Failure

A warning that many rooms, and
even some schools would be closed
If the proposed charter amendment
is not passed on Feb. IL, was made
by DIR. Hugo Thompson, Of Mac
alester college, in the Camphor
Memorial Methodist church, last
Sunday. DR.. Thompson was one Of
the four speakers on a panel held
during the Camphor Golden Hour
Forum, which included Clare Nc
Mann, assistant principal at John
son high school; Charles Niemann,
attorney, and Max Karl, program
director Of radio station WTCN.
Karl characterized the situation
as sinister" because those who OPP
pose the charter amendment are
more concerned about profits than
they are about the development Of
personality. He pointed out that
the average tax payer would not
have to pay more than about two
dollars a month more If the amend
ment is passed.
after all, we are more con-
cerned about what the increase will
bring" he declared.
