GARDENING
 DEVELOPED
 BY ESKIMOS

"1t may seem strange, but our chance to fame lies in garden ing said c. LeRoy Swenson, teacher at Unalakleet, speaking for the Eskimo people in the vil- lage at the mouth of the Unal- akleet river on Norton Sound.
 MT. Swenson, one of the four teachers in the Indian Service school at Unalakleet, brought his son Jerry to Fairbanks for med ical attention, flown here by Mi row Air Service.
 There are 92 pupils in the Un- alakleet school, 89 of them be- ing Eskimos, and three Lapps," ;" MT. Swenson said.
 The Unalakleet district is a wonderful garden country, with abundant rainfall and a four month growing season.
 Last summer the natives sold $1 500 worth of vegetables, some to the coast guard boats, some to A. Polet of Nome, and some went north on the M s North Star to Barrow.
 It is the teachers hope that the native people will increase the size of their gardens, and realize more of their living from truck trade.
 In past years, fishing trapping, and reindeer herds were the principal sources of livelihood. With the addition of gardening, the Eskimo's measure of econom- ic security is increased.
 Unalakleet is a village of 355 people, and the Unalakleet rein deer herds are said to number approximately 10000 head. Sam s. Hendricks is the reindeer unit manager.
 Charles Traeger is the trader and postmaster at Unalakleet, and the Rev. E. B. Larson is in charge of the Swedish Lutheran Mission there. Mir. Swenson op- crates the Indian Service radio phone and code station, KTPU Mrs. Marjorie B. Edmundson is the Indian Service field nurse based at Unalakleet.
 Teachers in the Indian Service school are MT. and Mrs. Sven son, Mabel Ivanoff, and Eunice Buck, apprentice teacher.

CITY COUNCIL
 REVERSES ITSELF
 LIKE GENTLEMEN

The Nome city council met in regular session last night in the city hall, at 2 o'clock by special appointment A large attendance was present to see what was do- ing, especially since the council had held a special meeting last Thursday to take action on ap- plications for renewals of beer and wine dispensaries and also liquor applications, at which time only three were approved. and which raised a storm of crit icism 10 the action taken, espec- ially by not giving any notice to the public, the press or any of the persons applying for nenew- al of their licenses.
 However, whatever prompted the so-called special meeting and the drastic action taken, it was all undone last night when Att torney C. C. Tanner and all his clients appeared before the coun cil, and thru their attorney, the matter was discussed in detail, legally and otherwise. When Judge Tanner ended his remarks by asking the councilmen to be fair to the City of Nome, to them selves and also to the business men of this city, motion was immediately made and seconded that the council reconsider the approval of licenses not approv- ed at the recent special meeting.
 Whereupon the council took up the approval of each applica- ton separately, each and every one being approved in the follow ing order:
 Nome Mercantile & Mining Co.,, Greenberg ct al.
 Chas. Cavey, Dispensary
 John F. Devine, Dispensary
 May Bale. Dispensary
 Tom Cloninger, Dispensary
 Jack Solomon, Dispensary
 In practically each and every case the applicants were ques- toned as to whether or not they would, in the future, run and supervise their establishments in lawful order, and in each case the answer was ''yes.'
 The chairman of the police de- partment, Edward Anderson, gave notice that henceforth the city would maintain more strict | observance of the establishments by policing same. This brot | Judge Tanner again to his feet, who said he believed that the re- marks of MT Anderson were timely and concurred with him, saying also that he believed the proper way to control the situa- tion was for the city to put on an extra policeman, not only to watch the licensees. but to pro- | perly give the residents of the ! city police protection in other matters as well.
 It was noted in the remarks | made by Judge Tanner. in ap- bearing for his clients, that not 1 one case had been found in the records where any of the arr1ic- 1

Senior Class At
Healing Springs
Takes A. Day Off

- AS there are no large industrial
plants in this section, sit-down
strikes and walk-outs that have be-
come SO common in other places do
not exist in this part of the Blue
Ridge, but last week one senior
class in Ashe county pulled a clay
OUT, at the risk of not graduating.
Last Thursday the seven mem
bers of the senior class at Healing
Spring high school went over into
Virginia on a picnic instead of re-
porting for classroom duty. The
trip had been previously planned,
but permission from Prof. Plummer
and other members of the faculty
was not obtained.
Upon their return to school Fri
day morning they were given Sc
we're lecture. The students declared
that as they didn't report for school
at all the previous day, they didn't
see they had done anything wrong.
Prof. Plummer and several facul-
ty members thought differently
about the matter and suspended all
of them until Tuesday unless they
repented. The students stayed out Of
school Saturday, but yesterday all
of them had returned except one,
Anne Caldwell, it was reported.
Saturday one of the students told a
reporter of The Post that the stu
dents didn't think they had done
wrong at all and were demanding
an apology for having been sus-
pended.
Prof. Plummer said that recently
the seniors had not shown the prop
er cooperation along certain other
lines and that the suspension was
also prompted by that attitude pre-
viously displayed.
The members of the class and
those enjoying the outing without
permission of teacher" were: r. c.
Brown, president; Herbert N. Fran
els, vice-president; Anne Caldwell,
secretary and treasurer; Guiles
Blevins, ]. c. Goans, Helen Baker
and Charles Cearley.
