Pioneer Roof Garden Program and Games Will Provide Gala Evening Of Diversified Entertainment for All

Frank Morris, general char man of the Pioneer Roof Garden, advises that plans are being com pleted to the minutest detail 10 accommodate the public and pro- vide an evening of entertainment typical of early-day life in Alaska, interspersed with that spirit of congeniality characteristic of the frontier.
 In order to expedite entrance and avoid delay in the chill air, both the west and south doors of the school will be opened at FOO pm. to accommodate the patrons.
 The program will start at 800 sharp and will last about an hour. Then will come the games, so di- versified and arranged that young and old can participate and find interesting enjoyment with sub stantial prizes awarded which will be appropriate to such celebration.
 The Roadhouse, under the su- pervision of George Geamalis. will dispense food, coffee, ice cream, etc. in typical pioneer fashion throughout the evening-WITH- OUT CHARGE!
 Speaking for Igloo No. 1, Pio- neers of Alaska, Frank takes this opportunity to express the appre- citation of the members and the Ladies Auxiliary to the public in general for the fine cooperation he has received; to the merchants of Nome and all lines of business for their liberality; to MT. and Mrs. Brown of The Theater for suspending their Saturday night show so their patrons might at tend the Roof Garden; and to the officers and members of the Arc tic Club for their magnanimity in voluntarily postponing their an- nual celebration to later date. This is a fine, exemplary spirit, characteristic of the Northland in general and of the people of Nome in particular. It was ever so.
