ESKIMO DRIFTS FOR FIVE DAYS,
 RUNAWAY FL0E

If anyone has ever doubted the hardness of the Arctic Eskimo, 2l- year-old John AnocoZuk of the King Island tribe today set those doubts aside, says the Fairbanks News Miner.
 For five days the native youth was afloat in the icy stretches of the Bering Sea on runaway ice foe.
 Today, back with his tribe mem- bers on the island 50 miles west of the Alaska mainland, he is re- covering from a severely frozen face and ice -blistered feet.
 Ice Breaks Free John and his dog were seal hunt ing one week ago Monday, when a large chunk of ice on which they were walking cracked loose from the main body of frozen crust and was whisked away by the current toward Siberia.
 Frank WhaIey, Nome pilot for Wien Airlines, flew more than 200 miles over the seaways in search of the youth, but to no avail
 Days passed, and Johns tribal companions gave him up for lost. Nonetheless, they maintained daily watch from high hill on the is- land.
 Then, by one of those freakish currents which occasionally swirl in northern waters. Johns ice floe moved into sight of the island last Friday morning. Rescuing Eskimos set out for the ice block in their ocmiaks, and by p. m. the cold stricken Eskimo was safe at home.
 Killed, Shared Seal During his days and nights on the ice, John had killed a seal. He and his dog shared the raw flesh to keep them alive.
 The young Eskimo's hazardous experience was learned in Fair banks by the arrival of Frank Wfla- ley, pilot who participated in the search for the boy.

There was a strengthening OF
lumber demand during July, due
principally to requirements of the
national defense program. West
Coast lumber has shared in this
demand. along with the woods OF
other regions of the national in
dustry.
A secondary influence has beer
the awakening Of the retail yard
trade to the fact that the govern
ment will require large quantities
OF lumber. making it advisable for
dealers to lay.in stocks to supply
regular local demand. A consid-
cradle volume of advance buying
for fall trade has anticipated the
usual period by several weeks.
Another factor of July lumber
strength has been in the response
of Embarrassing industries. particu-
larly the railroads, TO national de-
tense needs, in modifying their
facilities for the program.
