 of the furrow ha dbeen covered. It is impossible to tell whether the body was dragged on across the flats or into a creek bed and GOV cred with snow.
 'O'Leary and Mogg carried a handsaw with them and cut snow blocks, building snow house around a portion of the wrecked plane where they weathered out the search.
 Winds are reported as high as 50 miles an hour and it was in tensely cold with a ground snow storm blowing.
 Tracks located earlier in the search, originally hoped to be those of one of the missing men, turned out to be, when thoroughly check ed, tracks of the paratrooper Sgt. Santhell London, whose body they found the day after they arrived there. His body was found within plain sight of the Wreckage but due to the ground storm and the fact that darkness had fallen he was unable to locate the wreck. His tracks showed where he had climbed the hill searching for the plane and how he had gone down the hill searching for his com panions only to return to the spot from which he had started sub- sequently freezing to death.
 There are several native teams still aiding the Army in the search and Pvt. Frank Kealook, an Eski- mo, is stationed at the base camp.
 The native teams which have been mentioned before which left Shishmaref immediately upon re- ceipt of the news of the wreck were those of Alex Weyiounna, Floyd Walluk and Lawrence Nay okopuk. They searched for three days going eastward to Devils Mountain and they were forced to return to Shishmaref for food and gasoline for their camp stoves. Another group then set out com posed of David Walluk, William Sinnok Arthur Toctoo and Dal- bert Eningowuk, they were wea- ther-bound for sometime twenty miles from ShiShmaref and had to take shelter from the freezing winds and later searched inland 1 towards and around Devil Noun tain. On February third the army dropped them K rations and dried fish for their dogs.
 ! Five of the seven men from Shishmaref were we'll acquainted with the Devil Mountain area as they had done much trapping there as we'll as reindeer herding, yet they were unable to locate the wrecked plane where they plan ned to meet although three of : them were within five to eight miles of it.
 ] Sgt. Leonard Lane, an Eskimo, well qualified to assist MT. Gale, because of his experience with dog teams and outdoor living left this morning from the Nome Air
 Base to work at the base camp.

When you're in a crowd, take

Rounding corners like a marathon

Wide, Wide Skirts VIII T1Vwl

Bv EIeni

Once upon a time there was q
little girl who always said that when
she grew up she was going to have
lots and lots of parties. She was
going to have lots of beaux. She
also was going to have lots and lots
of beautiful dancing dresses.
Now the young lady has grown up.
She does have lots of parties, lots
of beaux, and this season she will be
able to have the loveliest of dancing
dresses to complete this day dream
come true:
For this spring and summer will
see fashions for the junior miss
styled with quaintness and roman
ticism. No more wondering what it
would be like to have a tiny waist
that bells out with layer after layer
of wonderful, fllmy skirts. No won-
dering what it is like to f1utter fan.
No more thinking about the day
when you could spray your billowing
skirts with a gay and lighthearted
scent. These things are right here
for you Teenas to enjoy now.
Formal wear is going to continue
to have the delicate, sweet, feminine

touches that you have noticed in
your street clothes. Therell be
plenty of -shou1dered evening
fashions. These you'll see in full
length gowns. a few ballerina
lengths and some ankle lengths.
Cottons are the best sellers even at
this early date. Some cottons will
be easy to wash, which is even more
interesting.
If your school has formal gradu-
alton you'll probably want to invest
in dress that can do double duty.
With organdy such popular fabric
for formal wear many girls will
choose organdy graduation dresses
that have little jackets or capes to
be worn during the ceremony. These
can be dotted when the dancing
starts at the parties after the ex-
erciSeS.
