day is completed. Sometimes this
means dark.
Men Join Closes
I'm the beginning there were
more men than women in my
classes simply because more men
could speak English. Since
couldn't speak Burmese, the
classes had to be taught in Eng
lish," said Mrs. Hunerwadel. "And,
too, the businessmen recognized
the potentialities of the COM
mercial value of the enterprise.
Now" she went on, "the opposite
is true. I have trained an in
terpreter who can carry on with
supervision on my part. Thus the
classes can be taught in Burmese
and the majority Of the classes
are made up Of women who are
interested in home canning" Most
of the industry in Burma Is on a
cottage basis which is a natural
as far as the canning classes are
concerned. The housewives plan
to can for their families: any sur
plus they sell. All Of which makes
for better nutrition as well as
adding to their income. She feels
the biggest thing they accom-
plished last year was to get firm
request in to the Mutual Security
Agency for home canning equip
ment so the people who have
studied canning will be able to
continue the work and teach 9TH
ers. The order has been approved
and equipment will be in Burma
within a few months.
Produce ApIenty
Up in the Shan States almost
every kind of vegetable we grow in
the United States will flourish
temperate and tropical
due to the topography of the
country. Mrs. Hunerwadel taught
the people to can fruits, vege-
tables and meats. Mangos are
extremely plentiful and are of
particularly good quality, delicious
in flavor. She thinks they have a
tremendous commercial possibility
for export. Guavas, too, are cheap
and abundant, as are pineapples,
mandarin oranges. and many va
rieties Of lemon and lines. They
raise beef. pork, mutton and
chickens in this area, but due to
lack of refrigeration and other
facilities, the meat is not as tender
as ours. The meat requires long
cooking to make it palatable, so
the canning is no handicap. The
beef cannot be used rare. as some
of us like our roast beef.
At first she ran into some diff
ference Of opinion on the merits
of canning vegetables. Some of
the people felt it was foolish to
can a food that grew the year
round. Then she began to see
tender" notices in the papers,
which is the same as asking for
"bids" in our country. These
notices were asking for tons Of
canned string beans and other
vegetables which the government
was buying on the import mar
ket for use by the armed forces.
She felt if she could only en-
courage canning of these same
vegetables it would save the coun-
try huge sum Of money and be
of great economic importance.
Fulbrieht Gront
While all this was going on Mr..
Hunerwadel's Fulbright grant
had been extended and later the
Shan State government requested
that he be assigned as agricultural

world she got her recipe for that.
Il snooped it out" was her reply.
When she couldn't find a recipe
to suit her needs she used the
.trial-and-error method until she
arrived at satisfactory conclu-
sion. The butter they canned
would keep up to eight months
without benefit of refrigeration.
She has enjoyed her life in
Burma and to hear her talk you
know her whole heart is in her
canning classes. She is eager to
go back and see how the work has
progressed in her absence.

good baking powder. After ex-
perimenting with the ingredients
at hand she came up with her
own formula, which was 2 tea
spoons of cream of tartar and /
teaspoon each of soda and flour.
She used the native flour, which is
quite like our wholewheat flour.
Another interesting improvisa-
ton was making their own mat
tresses and fashioning a needle
from a bicycle spoke to do the
tufting and sew the rolled edges.
She even taught her classes to
can butter. I asked where in the

When you're living in foreign

says Helen Hunerwadel who has
recently returned from a three
year stay in Burma.
She went out to Burma in 194s
with her husband, Otto Huner-
wadel. who was on a Fulbright
grant to act as agricultural ad-
wiser to the Shan states. She
hadn't been there long before she
became aware that a tremendous

STUDY CAUSES OF CANCER

Researchers at world wide cancer conference in Paris theo- rized that cancer results from many rather than a single cause. Such factors as degenerative changes in tissue are believed to combine with outside agents of this modern industrial era to cause cancer. Research into can cer's causes is supported by funds from the American Cancer So- ciety. Give to the 1852 Cancer Crusade.
 It is estimated that insects each year destroy enough US. wheat in storage to fill the wheat needs of 16 million people.

Four Non-Striking Maritime Unions
 Criticize Seattle Mayor For Failure
 To Call Meeting of Parties Involved

SEATTLE, (P) - Four non- striking maritime unions Thurs day criticized Mayor Allan Pome- rov for failure to call a meeting of all parties involved to get re- lief ships to Alaska.
 The statement was signed by the Northwest Joint Policy Com mittee of Maritime Unions. The committee is composed of the Ma rine Engineers Beneficial Associ- ation (CIO), the International LongShoremen & WarehOusemen's Union QnO, the Marine Bremen, Oilers, Watertenders & Wipers' Association .Qnd), and the Marine Cooks & Stewards Union QnO.
 The unions noted that they had announced more than a month ago that they "were ready and willing to load and sail any ship, regular or relief, to any port in the world, as long as those ships were manned with respect to the time honored jurisdiction of the West Coast Maritime Unions"
 The ship strike is by the rival Sailors Union of the Pacific CAFL).
 We have attempted to arrange a joint meeting through Governor Gruening and Mayor Pomeroy, among all interested parties, to devise ways of releasing a relief ship or ships to Alaska from Seattle" the four union state ment continued.
 "A request by Gov. Gruening (tO the mayor) for such a meeting has been disregarded. We, in the interest of public welfare, wish to know why this meeting has not been arranged.
 Since the ships Lundeberg has offered to release are from San Francisco, it appears that his req son is not to release them to feed hungry Alaskans, but only to di- vert Alaskan Cargoes from Seat tie 10 other ports, and to crew those ships with men from his own striking organization"

George Ahgupuk, Shisllnaref Artist, Working On RR

ANCHORAGE - George Ahgu- puk, famous Eskimo artist from Shishmaref, is now in employe of the Alaska Railroad. At present he's getting the "feel' of rail- reading on the Anchorage section.
 Railroad officials hope to. find something more suitable to Ahgu- puk's talent than tamping ballast between ties, however. It is likely that the artists sketches soon will be including streamlined trains, roundhouses and steel bridges as well as polar bears, igloos and seal hunters.
 Ahgupuk has won international fame for his drawings on bleach ed reindeer skin. Last winter he went to Seattle to take part in the opening of the new Seattle Historical Museum, where some of his works are on exhibit.
 Ahgupuk and his family now live in Anchorage. The boys of the family include Ralph, '; and Henry, II, who sells newspapers. Ruth, 13, does most of the house work since her mother is ill.
 A second girl, Stella, 6, ap- parently has inherited her fathers artistic talent. Already she has turned out some notable draw ings.
 Ahgupuk's Christmas cards, on sale throughout Alaska every year are particularly fine. Re- gently he completed a series of drawings for the Alaska Housing Authority as illustrations for the ALIAS annual report.
 Ahgupuk's drawing b e g n when he was a small boy, but no one COOh lI Sl4OuSAy N->>NP' George until he was confined in the Alaska Native Service hos pital at Kotzebue with a leg in- jury.
 For six months he had nothing to do but draw. His work was noticed, and from then on he de- voted his life to drawing. The medium of drawing on bleached sealskin is an Ahgupuk trade mark"
 Many of Ahgupuk's sealskin works are elaborate depictions of an entire Eskimo village-shoW- ing the daily activities of his peo- pie in hunting seal, whaling, fishing, hunting polar bears and driving dog teams.
 Ahgupuk, a genial and compla- cent individual, says he likes rail- roading. Anchorage counts him and his family an asset to the community.
