they were still working up at Kougarok. .s#.
 Here is some village news from Mary's Igloo, village about four or five miles up the Kuzitrin riv- CT, the uppermost end of deep water navigation, and is about 10 miles via river from the village of Igloo:
 Father Tom Cunningham is very busy there building a chap el. The villagers are there and helping him with the work. The chapel was first used on October 1st with all at Mary's 1gloo at tending. I am sure everyone is very happy, az there was no church and school there before.
 The boys who were working at various mining camps have been coming home and have worked overtime to supplement the situation for dog feed prob lems for the winter time. As us- ing of deer in wholesale matter is reduced by wolves destroying great numbers of them, the willy wolves would be heard right from the villages on clear nights, and malamutes respond many time for some ancestral rehearsal.
 Bill Mupz landed about three quarters of a mile above Mary's Igloo, on the bar, which made an excellent landing, and he has used the bar since as a field.

The Igloo Commercial Store is also levelled and repaired, and banked for the winter.
 The boat Paula was grounded a few hours before freeze-up, but luckily it got out by unloading to Mosquito bar, and also to another boat. The whole cargo was freez- able storage, and luckily every thing was taken into port a few hours before slush ice came down the river. .
 The villagers are all busy pull ing boats. The cooperative fam lilies, pooled their manpower and hauled their large boats out one after another.
 The first Sunday service found most all the villagers almost in regalia. As Helen Frost, the mis- sionary here at Igloo was out in the States during the summer months, since last April.
 Helen seems to have more than her share of work awaiting her.
 As someone would pack boxes and unpack getting the oil bar rels ready for the winter.
 The school started on the sec ond of October, with all the chil- dren enrolling for the winter. MT. and Mrs. Benson seem to have had a job for the last few weeks getting the school ready, removing coal, getting oil ready etc. The freight got here while

 A birthday party was celebrat- ed for Stella Kakaruk at her home. Those present were Edna Eyuk, Florence Mosquito, Anne Mosquito, Helen Keelick and Clara Eyuk. The girls baked their own cake and had a great time. Coffee and berry juices were served. The river was used for the first time for a skating rink yes terday and all the youngsters enjoyed the time.

 As I promised you I would write from the village of Igloo, here we are:
 The village of Igloo is togeth- CT again. The folks who were fishing all summer got back to their villages, some to Igloo and some to Mary's Igloo.
 There are some very busy days before freeze-up, as Natives have to bring in their wood SUD- ply for the winter, of willows and alders as we have no spruce here. Most of the villagers are also getting some herring and White Fish, caught and stored for the winter. Some are very busy maintaining their houses, repairing, and have everything sodded up in the sod houses.
 The mayor of the village also repaired his house.
 Edward Topkok moved into his new house, also Frank Mosquito has moved his home to nearer water, away from Hill.
