ARCTIC KING WRITE5YARN
 OF HIS LIFE
Charley Brewer on Way 10 States with Book
 Coming Out

Up at the end of things, spiritual and physical, where Point Barrow juts its low tumble of a few tundra trimmed frame dwellings into the chill and lonely wastes of the Arc tic Ocean, there is, like anywhere else the American flag flies, no law against hope.
 Charles Brewer, Point Barrow's trader and champion for the past six decades, cherished hope there beside the grinding ice pack. He would someday write a hook and tell the world himself of the fan tastic things which so many writ CTS have found made Charley, "The King of the Arctic one of the most fabled characters of the North.
 The hope was a dream that came true. Next Tuesday, Dodd and Mead will release Brewers saga of the Arctic Slope under the title of Fifty Years Below Zero"
 And Charley Brewer, visiting his friends in Juneau today on his way Outside to be in at the christen- ing of his brainchild, thinks back with no regrets on his 81 years of roaming about the world and ever returning to his lonely outpost at Barrow.
 They'll tell you weird stories of Charley's loves and adventures. and if you happen to see Charley at the Gastineau, where he is a guest, and press him too far for confirmation he will probably just scratch his heavy weathered chin and your answer will be in the glow of amusement in his still keen eyes.
 Charley went to Barrow in the roaring days of the early whale ships after sailing as wild as any youngster in those days to most of the ports of the world.
 Charley expects to spend the winter in the States-he likes to "get out once in awhile" see a few old friends and perhaps lecture bit.
 But when the elders start their swing northward again and when the pack ice tears its crumbling way again to the eastward ahead of the northing sun, Charley will be back in Barrow.
 Sure I'll be back" he tell you ''In Barrow you live. you don't run around like a chicken with your head cut off"
 And there might very well be something to it. Fifty years below zero ought to prove something.
