Every one appreciated it very much be- cause it gave us a chance to get acquainted and also gave the off cers' wives a better chance to see how we were progressing on our projects and on what we have been working.
 Three girls: Lucy Ann Eager strom, Edith Martin and Adrian Hudert, became tenderfoo a: the tea after saying the Scout laws, promise, motto and slogan.
 Our former leader, Miss Reedy, was also presented with a gif. in appreciation for all the time and work she have given us.
 The Senior girls have planned a tobogganning and skiing party. Afterwards hey will have sup per at their leaders home.

NOme's 1903 Needs Same As Today

A copy of the Nome Gold Dig ger of Jtly 29, 1903, tells of the arrival of a party of Senators from Washington, D. C., desiring to know first hand the needs of the Far North:
 Shortly after the arrival of the s. s. Mccullough, Senators Dill ingham, Nelson, Burnham and Col. D. N. Ransdell came ashore in a dory of the Beach Boat house. Senator Patterson, on the other hand took the biggest thing in sight and appeared well pleased that the Sesnon barge was no smaller, and upon landing were given loud welcome"
 It is interesting to note the sim ilarity of the needs of that period with those of today. Among the resolutions submitted them at that time were the following:
 That Congress provide for the maintenance of the Eskimo, and that punishment for selling liquor to natives be made more severe.
 That Congress make an appro- priation for making trails and roads and building bridges.
 That Land Office be establish ed at Nome.
 That the license tax be repealed That winter mail service be i'm proved and an all American route be established via Illiamna Bay.
 That an appropriation by Con- gress be made to construct an ice boat to run between Dutch Harbor and Nome during the winter sea- son.

 The Nome High School basket ball team scored another victory on Monday evening, Jan. 24. They defeated the Post Hospital team by score of 40 to 27. The Nome cagers showed some fine work in defense. The team also did splen- did work in the offense. The Hos pital also performed well, but it wasn't enough to match the fine work of Bell and Castel. Castel was high point man. Dr. Paulson played a nice floor game for the Hospital.

Quebec City
 The failure of many skiers to learn a parallel turn from a tra- verse direction into the opposite traverse is due to the fear of fac > ing the hill along the fall line with the skis parallel and flat on the snow during the execution of the turn.
 The consecutive movements in the doWnhill traverse turn are:
 l. Counterswing in inc opposite direction of the turn.
 2. Rotation of the shoulders in the direction of the turn.
 3. Blocking of the hips and ab- domen muscles.

 There will De a tendency to rush the angle of the urn in order to pass the fall line as rapidly as pos s.ble by edg!ng the skis too soon. It is better and safer to edge the skis again, once the new direction has been reached, a little too late han too soon. If you have diff culty passing the fall line, it is be- cause you are hanging back on the heels. Increase the forward lean from the ankles and put the inside ski slightly forward.
