 LIKES ESKIMOS
Tribesmen Vaguely Aware of Conflict Raging Among
 White Men

Washineton, Dec. c. (Up)--Re- turning from an s,O00.Tniie expior- atory trip Into the Canadian arctic, Father Artheme Dutilly of the catholic University of America described the Kskimog Of that country as "very intelligent and happy" and said that the most civilized person from this country would find himself living, eating and traveliiig exactly aS the Eski- mos do if placed in Q similar enc vironmeTt.
 "it B not c matter of civilization that determines living conditions, but rather it Is the climate, soil and general habitat that necesSitateg the so.called primitive way of lise," the riost-naturaiist sald iTl an inter- view with the United press.
 "The EskimoS afe a very iritellis gent people, and any intelligent person would adapt himself to his environment ifi the same way.
 "There are no trees. Hence, one must use the only other available building material for . home snow.
 'Dogs are as important and necessary to them aB Q tractor or Q team of horses to 6 farmer; kayaks are ideal for maneuyering among the leo blocks ifi seaching for and harpooning seals; food ig not cooked because they cannot afford to lose any of the Vitanilfl content and still survive the rigorous winters"
 Travels 5000 Miles
 Father Dutlily left the United states last July, travelled 5000 miles in four months by schooner. motor boat and steamship, and touched at iB stations on tho Hud- son Bay shores and Greenland to gather specimens eor his study oi the habitat of the Eskimo.
 He explained the lack of cofi1' munal life during the winter aa another condition imposed by fia- tuFe," The Eskimos must spread out in winter iil order to seek out afli' nals and do their hunting. In sums mer, they gather ct trading postt and form c happy, cofigefiial cons munity. -
 If they have food to eat, they are 'milllonaireg, the happiest peo' pie on earth"
 rather Dutlliy explained that tht ESklfnos have . very speclaliSee economy that Is of iilipoFttfiee t the United States. Fur Is theii primary industry, and It's mpef
 S of considerable economic value Silver, white and blue foxes, beafl and seals arc the moro proatapI' animals hunted,

 Faher Dutiiiy returned 70 WaSn' lngtofl with a variety of rare potan' lcai and geological specimens.

Are there three more young men in Waterbury interested in taking refreSher courses in preparation for flying cadet examinations2 Dr. John c. Gilmartin, in charge of the courses has announced again that three more persons must register Monday night at 2 o'clock at Crosby high school, or the present course will necessarily be suspended.

 pr. Gilmartin points out that young men may lake the reSresher course a second time as a double guarantee of passing the exams, and that they may take 1t as prepa- ration for other appointments than the flying cadets. Monday will be the last night for enrolment.

FEDERAL AGENCY
 GETS UNION PLEA
Conference Between ClO, Factory Heads May Be
 Decided on Today

Efforts of CI.O. unions to win pay increase and Christmas bonuses for workers at American Brass Com pany plants in Waterbury, Torrtng- ton and Ansonia were today before the U. s. Consolidation Service The federal agency is expected to call an early conference Of manage ment and union representatives.
 The question before the conclia- ton service Is not actually the pro- posed raise and bonus but rather whether the company will agree to negotiate these issues. Under Q contract signed several weeks ago wages were frozen until March, l942 The unions now claim that living costs have risen so rapidly that a raise of 10 cents an hour should be given, also 6 Christmas bonus amounting to two weeks.
 Generally similar demands have been made at practically all Water bury factories, and negotiations are an progress at several of them.
