Eskimo Boys
 Are in Army

The effects of war at Point Bar row were felt directly as 10 volun- teers awaited a plane to take them to Ladd Field.
 All are Eskimos and all are crack shots with hunting rifles and have taken away numerous honors in the annual Christmas shooting con- tests. One of the stunts is to hit a two-inch bulls eye at 75 yards.
 Any one of the young huskies can run all day beside dog sled or mush for hours at time on snow shoes. They are skilled in the use of knives and should be great aid as informants about conditions in this area.
 So enthusiastic are the volun- teers about the new life they are about to adopt that they hold their own drills daily by marching about the village.
 Induction in the army at Fair banks will be the first contact with civilization for most of them and they have been holding classes for weeks in the manners and customs of white men against the day they meet their Caucasian comrades in arms.
