Art Workshop Brightens School Activities Here

On last Friday evening, Mrs. Kay Mizar, on professional leave from the Anchorage Public Schools for the purpose of aiding the art program being sponsored by the Nome School, conducted her last workshop here.
 Working on very full sched- ule during her two days in Nome, Mrs. Mizar gave demonstrations to the public on both Thursday and Friday evenings, after spend ing the day instructing students in the classroom. Leaving Nome on Saturday, she proceeded to Fairbanks.
 The workshops in the classroom were expedited by combining some of the rooms, a procedure by which many more students were able to benefit In Mrs. Potter's room the children made balloon mobiles; Miss Erickson's and MT. Woodiel's rooms com- bined, to do charcoal sketches; Mrs. Coons' class sket he d with chalk, and Mrs. Witner's and MT. Denny's classes com- bined to paint with water-colors.
 Many mothers and other mem bers of the community assisted in school during Mrs. Mizar's ,visit. These includes the Mesdames Bayer, Towner, Conklin, Hardy, Dunlap, Bachelder, Tiffany, Nc Iver, Tungwenuk, Tobuk, Elmer Greene, Hungerford, Kealiher, Baldwin, Dimmit, Fondell, Em- m ons, Kowalczyk, Sundstrom, Maakestad, Woodcock, Amund- sen, O'Connor, Young, Ullrich and Gilbert.
 The genuine interest and coop eration displayed by the commit nifty indicate promise for sirn- liar workshop next year. Teacher comment would suggest that the fresh approach, the ideas, and the general help given by the art con- sultant are well worth the ex- penditure of time and effort, and appreciation of Mrs. Mizar's gen. erosity, with her time and know ledge, has been paramount. As token of the general feeling, the Nome faculty presented gift of several ivory carvings to Mrs. Mizar, and also samples of the fur obtainable in this area.
 This week, display will be shown in the Polet Store win dows, of the many and diversi- fled types of handiwork demon strated by Mrs. Kay Mizar during the art workshops.

Kovalakides had a field day.
He won the shot put and the

record in the javelin with a toss
of 222 feet 4 inches to break
his own mark of 199 feet / inch,

This last reference to the
delightful golfing tour Of Ire
land is in the form Of an open
letter to Sam Snead, who with
Arnold Palmer will represent
the United States in the Can
ada Cup matches June 1926
at Dublin.
The dates are the week aft
er the National Open in Den-
yer. Another failure in the Ma
tional Open could leave Sam
in UNDERSTANDABLE bad humor,
and with little enthusiasm for
the Canada Cup.
But for the sake Of so many
fine people in Ireland. it is
hoped that Sam carefully
counts his clubs, that he be-
comes a pal with his caddie,
that he keeps quiet about Port
marnock even if he doesn't like
it. and that he holds still for
the camera fiends.
We touched on this subject
last week in the first column
from Ireland, but as the trip
progressed the enthusiasm of
the Irish people for Snead's
visit became even more ap-
parent.
At every stop. the member
ship Of every club was talking
about the Canada Cup and
Snead. Ireland will be host to
the British Amateur this
month, but the entry and the
crowds will be relatively light
because almost everybody is
saving vacations for the Can
ada Cup.
A golfing partner at Bally-
bunion was Paddy Mccarthy
a hotel owner. Ballybunion is
resort on the Atlantic, and
the summer months are filled
with merriment. But Paddy
was saying his reservations for
the third week in June were
comparatively light.
Everybody will be at the
Canada Cup" Paddy said. my
self included"
The Irish sports fans have
had reservations at Dublin for
months. Many will have to
walk 2 and 3 miles from their
cars to the club, but they will
do it without any grumblins,
because they're going to see
| Snead.
The people Of Ireland have
heard little of Snead's tempera-
ment. 1t is as though the bad
publicity about Sam had been
screened. They know him only
as a golfing idol. 1t would be
, nice that if on his first, and
probably his last visit to Ire
land, Sam would turn on the
charm.
The enthusiasm for Snead
is not with disrespect for Pal
mer, it is because of lack of
knowledge. They know Palmer
only as a relatively young pro
who has won a lot Of .tourna-
ments, but they don't know
how many, or which ones.
The galleries at Portmarnock
for Snead could top $4,000 or
10000, an Irish golfing execu-
tive was saying the other day.
Some people are going early,
hoping to see him in practice
rounds.
The Canada Cup probably is
costing Ireland more than 1t
ever has put into any sports
event. Behave yourself Sam,
don't grumble, be cordial. This
is just another week to you,
