The Nights Are
CoId-And LongI

Northern winters breed kind of psyche
logical disease known as cabin fever"
the main symptom of which is an intense
desire to get out Of Alaska. Large num-
bers Of Alaskans spend their savings on
yearly trips Outside, in order to avoid this
neurosiS - or because of it.
Alaska has other ills beside the long
winter nights. Two hardy souls who
braved all Of them are Charles and jeanne
Jordon, who toll as photographer and
model, respectively. With late-model
Cadillac filed with their worldly possess
Sions that included three late-model chill
dren, the Jordons settled, last year, in the
Matanuska Valley, Alaska's answer to
the San Fernando. From August to
October they bucked unemployment, high
rent, poor housing and exorbitant food
prices. 1t did not discourage them; the
sun was shining, wasn't it?
But then came the winter with its
psychotic darkness. Says jeanne, "After
spending most of our lives In Florida, the
nights were too much. We could take the
cold, even when il went down to minus
twenty. But that darkness!'
Job Picture Is Bleak
At winters midway point. jeanne and
Charles called it night and took off for
New York.
Many would-be settlers are unable to
buck the problems that, to the JordonS,
were less fearSome than the winter. Often
skilled workers # free agents like the
handyman or carpenter - win find it
easier to scratch out an existence than
wage-earners who must depend on a job
in a factory or store.
Ollie Riggs, Anchorage real-eState man
and ex-explorer who was on the first
Nautilus when it made its dramatic under
the-ice trip to the Arctic in 1891, makes
the point clearly: I'm another generation
well have maybe thirty million people up
here. But they won't be the kind Of trial
and-error people who come up with high
hopes and low bank accounts. No, they'll
be folks who take the time to learn about
conditions before they come, and prepare
themselves for an existence that's one
third more expensive and twice as tough
as anything they've known in the States"
Che other 4S are known as Outside" or
''the States.'O
In short, jobs are scarce in nearly all
fields, even construction. Prices are high
because almost everything you buy is
shipped thousand or more miles from
Seattle. Housing is prohibitiwe for the
same reason. You can have neat 81 !, 900
dwelling built in Anchorage or Ketchikan
- but it will cost you up to $4,000.
