NOTED ALASKAN ARTIST IS
 WHALE HUNTER

George Alden Aghupuk, famed Eskimo artist, recently proved that he was also a mighty hunter.
 When Pilot Frank Whaley, was returning on a flight from Kotze- bue to Shishmaref the other day, he spotted a number of white whales, and after making note of their general direction of travel he proceeded to Shishmaref, where he reported the incident to Aghu- puk, who had come down on the beach to meet the plane.
 Aghupuk then gathered several other Eskimo boys and took off in their skin boat, after the whales. The chase was on in ear nest, and in a few hours the mighty hunters returned home towing four of the huge mammals behind their tiny boat. There was much rejoicing in the village for now there would be meat for eV- eryone.
 Gorge Alden Aghupuk is mem Der of the Artists Guild of Amer ica and for the past fifteen years has been noted for his remark ably true reproductions of Eski- mo life in northern Alaska, drawn on parchment and natural skins.

Fleetwood Students Accomplish
Excellent Results In War Work

Winning the war has been fore
most in the minds of the students
at Fleetwood high school this
year as they have worked in pre-
pairing themselves to take their
places in the world of the future.
All of the wartime drives as
we'll as those particularly relating
to health have been we'll organ
lied and successfully carried out.
Excellent response was shown to
the United War Fund Drive, the
Sixth and Seventh War Loans,
the sale of Tubercular Christmas
Seals, the Infantile Paralysis
Drive, the Cancer Control Drive
and the sale of Easter Seals for
crippled children.
While this school is rural, and
the totals in the drives have not
been as high as some of the others
in the county, the response has
been widespread and enthusiastic.
Health and physical education
has been stressed in the class
room and playground and a very
successful lunchroom has been
operated with a large percentage
of children taking advantage of it.
