Lou Yerian, Somerford Pike,
says that that very thing hap
pened during the hot spell
here a couple of weeks ago.
Matter of fact, he sent US an

It follows that if newspaper
editors would and could tell
the whole truth in obituaries,
the result would probably be
a most profound influence on
the lives of the living.
We are reminded of mean
old bird who lost his life when
he fell into a cider press. Said

old Sam that he wasn't always
as mean as he usually was!"

We heard about a night club

where Dick LeBeau drove over

Raiders let loose, scoring two
more touchdowns the second quar-

Pilot Tosch Plans Excursions To
 Bering Sea Islands This Summer

Nomeites are constantly alert to provide interesting side trips for tourists who visit Nome daily throughout the long summer months, but it took a bush pilot to plan some side trips primarily for the people living here, as well as for the visitors.
 Bush pilot O. w. Tosch inaug- urated some new ideas yesterday, with his eight-place flying boat, when he took party out over Boring Sea, filled with pancake ice as far as the eye could see, and headed up the coast toward the first Landmark, well known to pioneers, Cape Rodney. This point is directly opposite Sledge Island, where literally millions of birds of many species are nesting.
 Tosch explained that parties of eight can be taken to the island any time in the Grumman Goose which he flies for excursion trips.
 From Sledge Island, the plane followed the wide clean beach, line to Cape Woolley, keeping a constant lookout for a missing oomiak with seven passengers, and then headed for King Island, with it's sheer cliffs and tiny vil- lage clinging to it's side. Heavy ice floes all around the island pre- vented landing being made, but later this month and all through the summer Pilot Tosch plans to
