 Established In Arctic Section

pr. George A. Dale, Director of Education for the Alaska Native Service, stated that new school room has been improvised in one of the buildings at the Meade River Mine near Point Barorw to accommodate the 20 native chiiv dren of the workers. In response to a letter received from George Wilson, principal of the ANS school at Barrow, Dr. Dale made arrangements to have supplies and books flown into the Meade River Mine and a former ANS teacher, Margaret Panigeo, an Eskimo girl, accepted the position of teacher at the new project.
 Dr. Dale said that around 70 people are living at present in the Meade River Mine site engaged in mining of coal for use in the will lage at Barrow. MT. Wilson's recommendation for school facili- ties in the mine area was based on the insistence of the workers who requested this opportunity for their children since the mine is a permanently established industry and the people intend to remain there to raise their families.

women who think writing may be
the answer:
Don't be discouraged because
you've never done any writing.
Many writers start too young
and become Respondent over
rejection slips. You need the
sympathy the compassion and
the understanding that comes
only with maturity"
Gregarious Mrs. Holland, sees
only one disadvantage in being
an authoress-"It's a lonely bust
ness"
"Your family is tender and
sympathetic and charming - but
they don't have too much faith
in your finishing the book and
none at all in its being published.
And your friends get a far away
look in their eyes"
"But it's fun" she added. "And

AP NeWSfeatureS

RICHMOND, Va. - One Wo-
mans answer to the current and
controversial feminine problem
what to do when your children
are grown and you find yourself
with time on your hands-sounds
simple. You can write.
Mrs. Bernard P. Holland, II,
good looking wife and mother of
two teen-age attractive children,
has a nice hand with a sketch
book and pencil. She is a better
than-average cook and is no
stranger to an ironing board, but
she found that humble domestic
chores weren't enough.
So three years ago, she began
to write.
Her first novel was the story
of what she felt, the conflict of
an American woman caught be-
tween the love of her husband
and her home and children and
the urgent need to express her
self.
II didn't want the book pub
lished," Mrs. Holland said re
Gently. 'It was too personal, too
autobiographical."
Actually it made no difference
that the book didn't reach print
for it gave Virginia-born Mrs.
Holland a chance to express a bit
of individualism.
Her biggest problem in writing,
she found, was the work of trans
ferring realistic dialogue to paper
and still captured the sound of
free and easy conversation.
II finally decided that the only
way to write dialogue was to put
it down exactly as I heard it
grammatical mistakes and all. So
I did"
She made a success of it. Her
new book, primrose PATH" writ
ten under the name of Claudia
Holland, has received bouquets in
newspapers from California to
New York and most reviewers
mention Claudia Hollands samaz-
ing a for chat"
She explains it this way:
"You can do anything you want
enough. If you think you want
to do, if you want to do it badly
to write or to paint or play the
piano and you never get around
USE WITH CUT $500 ------. ----.--
CLAUDIA HOLLAND -.
No garnet for her 49,.
to doing it because you don't
have time then you might as
well give it up. You just don't
want to do it badly enough"
despite the time and attention
that her two children, her home,
husband and friends demand, the
day her primrose PATH went on
sale, a second novel was in the
hands of the publishers.
She has no garrett, no office, no
studio. She simply writes when
she feels like it, without outline
and without a fixed idea as to
how the book will take shape.
Forty-three-year-old Mrs. Hol-
land has this piece of advice for
