ON WITH THE DANCE
Several million Americans will
join with the President and his
family in a happy celebration of
his fifty-sixth birthday on Janu
ary 30. At the same time they
will give perhaps as much as a
million dollars toward the alle
viation of suffering and the at
tack of science on infantile par
alysis. The chairman of the na
tional committee for the Presi
dent’s Birthday Ball for the four
th time, estimates that no fewer
than five thousand parties will be
given throughout the nation.
Alaskans will keep step with
others of the nation. Sourdoughs
and Cheechaknes in the chief
Northland centers will do their
part—making merry simultaneo
usly with Americans in Hawaii,
Puerto Rico and other insular
possessions.
Americans in tail coats, Sunday
suits, wind-breakers, pierrot cos
tumes, sweaters and overalls:
beardless boys, men in the prime
of life, war veterans, bewhisker
ed granddads, the high school bas
ketball team; Fifth Avenue soph
isticate and mid-western farm
hands alike, wrill twirl the ladies
in a waltz, entrance them with a
rhumba or the big apple or stomp
their way elegantly through a
Virginia reel.
American women, dowagers, sub
debs, school teachers, the girls
from the five and ten cent store
where you meet the million dol
lar princesses, the Junior Leag
uers, artists' models, the ladies of
the Browning club and the girls
from across the railway tracks,
they will be "among those pres
ent” at the President’s Parties.
Whatever their costumes whether
Chanel’s d.rnier cri or a "take
me home for $10.95", they will be
in themselves sufficient reason
for a celebration.
The President’s Birthday Ball
this January, as in past years,
will be an American gesture, na
tional in scope, altruistic in pur
pose and gay with the spirit of a
young and generous people.

Xmas Fund
The following is an accounting
of the Pioneers' Home Christmas
Fund, rendered by Eiler Hansen,
superintendent, the letter having
been sent to John Lichtenberg,
with the request that he hand it
to the Nome Nugigtt, and is here
with published:
On behalf of the Pioneers I
thank everyone that contributed
to their Christmas Fund. It is a
generous and thoughtful act. To
nearly all of my 182 men, it is
the only cash they have for an
entire year.
Anyone that could witness the
expressions of sincere gratitude
of the recipients of this money
would feel that their gift was
worth while.
It would be wonderful to con
template that in time a trust fund
could be set up that would in
sure a perpetual fund for the use
of the residents of the Home.
This could easily be accomplish
ed if some of the Alaskans that
have became wealthy would
make a proviso in their will for
this purpose.
Some of the future winners of
the ice pool might also become
willing contributors to a fund of
this nature.
I render herewith an account
ing of the money received and
distributed this past Christmas:

Gross, Juneau,.$500.00
