Island Freight

Early this spring we heard that the North Star of the ANS was going to make only one trip to Gambell with annual supplies for the Native Store. This was very disappointing the people, who de- pend entirely upon one small store, regardless of mo ceiling priced merchandise of so-called Alaska Native Industries Cooper ative Association (ANICA). It be- came apparent that the North Star must make another trip this fall with more groceries and oil which were badly needed North Star did come with freight and reindeer meat for Gambell and Savoonga. New Caterpillar trac- tor for Gambell store also came.
 For first time in many, many years, people complained about high food and oil prices and low wages they received for longshor- ing this fall. These Eskimos do no know how to strike" but they are going to learn it before too long!
 You hear these words where two or three are gathered to- gether:
 "There is not only one freight i boat in Alaska; there is not only one store in Alaska"
 What do these words mean to you? They are easy to under stand.
