Unalakleet News
By Mrs. Ernest Berry,

school program will be an out standing event to the Natives of Unalakleet for many years to come. The Christmas spirit really prevailed throughout the village.
 To the people of the village Christmas did not mean only one day of merriment, but one whole week of merriment. The church had their early morning vesper service as their usual custom handed down to them from SWe- den. The peoples Fellowship Class rendered a good song pro- gram in the evening at the church.
 The week seemed to be full of interesting things for both old and young. The church has Watch Service" New Years Eve.
 The New Year came rushing in with some very cold and blustery winds. The thermometer dropped down to 30 degrees below zero.
 In spite of all the cold and snow the village came to the school for day of happiness. There were many interesting events planned for the New Years celebration. The village showed appreciation by contributing money and other articles for prizes. Richard Ivan off and Roger Nanouk made a house to house canvass and were given $500 and many little household gifts.
 The dog team races started at goo am. This contest was run by time-limit going around the port and back. There were seven dogteams to start out at the same time. Richard Ivanoff was the first one to return.
 The women added much merri- ment. to this contest by competing against each other with their dog teams. Some of the women really showed skill in driving the dog teams. Anita Koutchuk won first place in this race.
 The 10 -old-boyS enjoyed racing with three dogs. This was a lively race.
 Some of the little boys had diff ficulty in getting their dogs to leave the school house. Martin Nanouk won the prize.
 The snow shoe race created much competition. Richard Ivan off won the prize as fleetest run ner in this race.
 The climax of this race were the women lined up waiting for the signal to start. Many started with such quick steps to fall out or down only a few feet away Two sister, Mrs. Otton and Mrs. Aulye of about the same height and weight demonstrated just how fast one could really go on these frail looking shoes. Mrs. Aulye seemed to know the art of turning around somewhat quicker than Mrs. Otton and won by a small margin.
 The afternoon games were started with the finger pulling contest. The men were first in this game. To see the men sit down on the floor facing each | other and pull with such a pleas ng expression. Richard Ivanoff 1 won first.
 The women were next in line 'or their participation in this con- est. Mrs. Aulye won the prize.

the finance committed statement
that the bricks were not properly

Concerning the resurfacing of
Maple ST., c. A. Hopes, attorney
for the Construction Co., made
the following statement:
There has been criticism of the
contractor for the reason that
streets have not been replaced.
The reason the streets haven't
been replaced is that the Council
refused to tell the contractor how
they wanted them replaced and
that he only received instructions
three weeks ago.
IF they had instructed him at
the proper time (Mr. Leach asked
Council for this information al
the last meeting of the group be-
fore Christmas) the work would
have been done long ago"
Mr.. Hopes added, They have
not failed to pay any installment
due under the contract up to this
time and if they allow any pay
ment to become delinquent under
this contract, they will be sued
the next day"

Many farmers who actually
did get their oats planted told

Ordinarily, farmers have a
third or more of their spring

farmers to get their corn ground

ahead of planting time SO that

But this year, only very small
fraction-probably less than 10
percent-of the plowing has been
done.
Gardeners Set Back
Another serious setback has
been handed to spring gardeners.
Ordinarily, all early spring plant
ing should be done by this time,
with peas and other early garden
crops in the ground. Very few
gardens have been planted.
In other lines of outdoor spring
work, farmers are equally be-
hind, awaiting a few days of SUM-
shine so they can get caught up
Mr.. Greeneisen also cautioned
farmers who have a few apple
trees to spray them for scab

On the bright side of the weather

At present, three of the schoo.
buses are in only temporarily
houses, and may have to be left
out this summer. Because of that
fact, and the high rent costs for
bus storage, the board felt they
would be ahead to build their
own garage. 1t was decided by
the board to go ahead with the
present plans for building, if il
was found not necessary to ad-
vertise, or to advertise immed-

1t was also decided by the
board to have the faculty and

Let Them Keep Those Stors

1t does not seem right, somehow, for the
Nation to let technical provision of the
law bring about the automatic demotion
on July of several of this countryS top
ranking military leaders of World War II.
Yet, unless Congress takes preventive
action before that date, three four-star
generals and two four-star admirals will
be reduced in rank because of clause in
the Officer Personnel Act of 1947 Under
this act the number of four-Star officers
In each of the services is limited. The
Army is allowed five and the Navy and Air
Force four each.
This means that three full generals and
two full admiralS must be denoted to
three-star rank if they remain on active
duty after July l. They are General
Courtney H. Hodges who commanded the
heroic First Army during the war and who
now commands its peacetime successor;
General Mark w. Clark, who commanded
the Fifth Army in wartime and who now
heads the Sixth Army; General Thomas
Handy, wartime deputy chief of staff and
now commander of the Fourth Army;
Admiral Henry K. Hewitt, who commanded
the Eighth Fleet in the Atlantic and who
now is Americas senior naval representa-
tive on the United Nations Military Staff
. Committee, and Admiral Thomas C. Kin
caid, Seventh Fleet commander in the
Pacific operations and now commander of
the Eastern Sea Frontier.
Several other four-star officers would
be similarly reduced to three stars were
it not for the fact that they are occupying
the officers slated for demotion will retire
at four-Star rank not long after being
deprived Of their active-duty fourth star.
A bill is pending before the Senate Armed
Services Committee to prevent what has
the appearance of an act of ingrattude
toward these outstanding leaders An ex-
ception to the rules should be made in
their behalf. 1t will cost the Nation little
to pay this added tribute to this small,
deserving group.

$4,000 to carry on its work for another

tors to the National Capital
The committee is not just city boosting

group set up to meet the demand in this
Federal city for a source to which out
siders may turn for information and as
siStance in connection with conventions,
pilgrimages and other visits of national
or international nature. This is a job
which must be assumed by some private
agency, as there is no provision for an
official bureau to render this service.
Washington, as the seat of Government,
has special attractions for conventions
and other official and unofficial groups.
This means continuing demand for
information regarding auditoriums, hous-

Greater National Capital Committee is
organized and equipped to supply such

To perform this important mission costs

interests of the city to finance the work

boorish, but perhaps even little bit un-
American as WELL
Yet there must be millions of us who
would like nothing better than to follow
the advice of the National Soup Mix Asso-
citation. The desire certainly exists, but it
is repressed, and it must be bruising many
a psyche. A similar inhibition aff1icts great
numbers of Americans with a secret urge
to use their fingers in eating chicken or
getting the last bit of succulent meat off
lamb-chop and steak bones. Thus, quite
obviously, the etiquette books have raised
wall between the individual and the pur-
suit of simple gustatory pleasure.
If all this is not psychologically harmful,
then at least it is annoying to a lot of
people. The NSMA spokesman has said
something that will strike a responsive
chord in multitude of hearts If to enjoy
good soup, man or woman must make
noise why be silent? The more one thinks
about the matter the more one is tempted
to throw off the shackles of the Emily Posts
and forget about table manners.

How to Drink Soup

spokesman for the National Soup Mix
Association has just come out in favor of
doing away with what has become a
dinner-table inhibition throughout the
length and breadth of our land He has
condemned the idea of slipping soups
quietly. BY and large, in his opinion, they
should be "slurped" That is to say, we
should drink them noisily his reason for
this being that the silent method destroys
much of the pleasure and flavor inherent
in them.
1t is hardly to be expected that this
radical view will win universal acclaim
There are too many among us who feel
strongly attached to the diametrically
opposed dictum of the etiquette books.
The power of the Emily Posts is not to be
underestimated. They have preached so
vigorously and so often against boisterous
soup drinking that only brave men and
women will dare now to defy them openly.

What Communism Really Is


Capitalism in Russia was first abolished and
replaced with Bolsheviki rule after the downfall
of the Kerensky government in 1917, where
upon all property, both public and private, was
placed under governmental control Further
more, according to special reports from United
States military authorities, all factories, plants,
theaters. and public buildings, formerly under
private ownership. were nationalized; industry
and transportation completely paralyzed; and
In few instances even the family was COM
munized, meaning that all women of marriage
able age were considered property of the
state" During this period of history emphasis
was placed solely upon revival of the country's
military power, while many of the people sue
cumbed to- the destructive forces of poverty,
starvation and disease.
The facts thus prove that from the beginning,
communism was a brutal despotism operated
by few men of power-then Lenin and
Trotzky; now Stalin-men who subtly exerted
that power by subjugating the common people,
disallowing them freedom to exercise their
individual rights.
Now, the Communists are attempting, by lies
deceit and dissmulation, to appeal to the
poverty y-stricken classes of people by telling
them that communism offers decent standards
of living, and freedom from insecurity hunger
and strife. On the contrary, communism thrives
on these same low standards of confusion and
perpetual fear. 1t is totalitarianism that
grinds the people down, with no interest what
soever in human welfare.
Did you ever watch an octopus roofing its
tentacles into the flesh of its prey? That is
exactly what communism is trying to do to the
world today. Let us expose this gluttonous beast
to the eyes Of all, before it is too late. AS the
old maxim goes-"None is as blind as he who
will not see" FERN w. KERRICK
