O. Why are the young Of some birds
larger than their parents?-E. D. N.
A. In the case of such sea birds as
the albatrosses, parent birds feed their
young until they almost burst with fat.
When the young birds have completed
their growth the parent birds fly away
leaving the fledglingS to shift for them
selves. The stored-up fat now serves as
reserve food supply until the young
birds learn to feed themselves. When
the stored food is used up the young
birds are about the same size as their
parents.
@. How long is a rose tested before it

best new roses of the United States and

St. Lawrence Encampment

the inspection in ranks, the party
was unanimous in their opinion
that st. Lawrence Island has pro-
duced, one of the finest units in
the Alaska National Guard.
Last year the Savoonga unit
marched in dead winter for so
miles with dog teams to reach the
airlift that brough them to- camp
at Fort Richardson.
During the past year both Saw
oonga and Gambell units have
patrolled the length and breadth
of the island on various missions
in all kinds of weather, gathering
information, mapping, sketching,
and sending in laconic reports Of
50-mile patrols that sound as rou-
tine as trip across town to the

Skinboat Journey


Field training began August 8
for Guardsmen in the villages of
Gambell and Savoonga on st.
Lawrence Island in the Boring
Sea. The last detachment set out
two weeks ago on 100-mile skin
boat cargo-haul with the last sup
plies from the camp site at Trout
man Lake on the far west cape Of
the island. In the 15-day interval
the Eskimo troops had demonStra-
ted clearly the benefits of three
years Of Guard training.
By Christmas, the Guard will
have completed all seven of it's
encampments for army and air
units; at Fort Richardson, ST..
Paul Island, Nome and Elmendorf
AFB in addition to St. Lawrence
Island Nearly every Guardsman
in Alaska will have completed two
weeks of active duty, putting into
practical use the lessons learned
during the 49 annual drills held
in nearly 70 home towns.

Sunday Recreation

On Sunday the camp gathered
for services by Rev. Lowell M.
Campbell of the Gambel Mission,
following which skin-boat taxi
service was provided by Guards
men from the village to the camp.
Villagers were entertained by
demonstrations of military skills
and a softball game during the
open house.
Alaska owes much to these
Scout Guardsmen, who, in their
daily lives make UP a defensive

Ideal Terrain Y
The camp, situated on dry
gravel bench, is located near a
natural rifle range and in the
heart of terrain ideally suited to
the training of Scouts. Two head
quarter tents heading a double
row of five-man arctic tents
formed the main camp. Troops
improvised a flagpole from the
mast of an umiak.
Camp routine included reveille
at 5:45 am, followed by Gales
themes, and breakfast. The men
cooked rations-the famous five
in-one - on single-burner noun
tain stoves in the tents. A variety
of daily menus included candy,
gum and cigarets for all troops.
Breakfast dishes were washed in
standard Army fashion, and the
camp area carefully "policed'
down to the last cigaret butt.
Morning to Night
AS nesting arctic terms squawked
at the early morning activity, the
Eskimo troops (no squawking from
them began their full day of
training at 7 am. During the first
days they studied rifle marksman-
ship, map reading, patrolling, ra-
dio instruction and methods of
observing.
Following evening meals, the
instructors were briefed on the
following days classes by Army
Instructor SIC George Bobbitt.
For the troops there was time for
elimination play-offs on the ball
field near headquarters tents.
During the final week instruc-
ton in methods of reporting in
telligence and more advanced
Scout training was held. In the
recreation field the final cham
pionship game of softball was
held.
