Our Recollections of an
Interesting Movie
Last week we saw a moving pic
ture called 'Nanook of the North" ;.
Nanook and his Eskimo family
lived near Hudson Bay. In summer
Nanook took his family to a trad
ing post in their kayak. He traded
beautiful white fox furs for a rec
ord player. Nanook couldn't figure
out where the music came from.
When the trader handed Nanook
the record, he tried to eat it. Ma
noOk's children were given lard on
bread for a treat at the trading
post OF course, one boy didn't
know when to stop and got a
stomach ache. The trader knew just
what to do. He gave the boy Castor
Oil. The boy liked it very much.
Nanook was a good trapper and
experienced hunter. One time in
winter a group of walrus came in
sight Nanook and a few men wait
ed on shore for the herd to come to
rest. When they did, NanoOk crept
close, trying to make himself look
like a walrus. When the herd, final
ly alarmed, jumped into the water,
Nanook speared L walrus. What a
time they had keep the walrus
from getting away Finally they
pulled it on shore, slit it open, and
all had feast.
One day Nanook and his family
went on a hunting trip in the mid
die of winter. NanOOk saw
breathing hole of a large. seal in
the ice. He crawled up and threw
his spear into the hole through the
thick ice. He had hard struggle
holding on to the rope attached to
the spear. Finally he called his
whole family to help hold the very
large seal on the end of the rope
while Nanook cut through the snow
and ice to pull the seal out of the
water.
The Eskimos have to build new
igloos while they are hunting,
sometimes every night. They do not
have fire in their igloOs. I'm the
winter it is often 80 degrees below
zero. They sleep on furs and cover
themselves with furs. They live on
fat, raw meat, and fish. They travel
by sleds pulled by dog teams.
Sometimes they rest the little
puppies inside the igloo to keep
them warm.

Since our Christmas vacation we
have been very busy. In our Social
Living we have been studying Our
Community. Milford is one of the
Oldest towns in Delaware and has
several places of interest.
We have read several books
about community helpers and Mrs.
Taylor has read book to us about
Milford. We have seen several film
strips on community helpers.
We studied a map of Milford,
which was loaned to US by Mrs.
Gordon. Then we made a map on
our bulletin board. Each of us made
our home and one important buildA
ing in Milford There were placed
in the proper location on our map.
We each selected a community
helper, cut out figure and dressed
it. These are displayed in the hall.
Now we are making a model town
on our sand table and a movie. The
movie will show the schools,
churches. stores, places of histori-
cal interest, and industrial build
ings.
Mrs. Kunkle came to our room
today. She helped us make favors
to send to the hospital. These can
be used on the trays of the patients
on Valentine Day.
On January eighteenth, Edward
Vernon had a birthday. When we
returned to our room from the au-
ditorium, Mrs. Vernon was there
with beautiful birthday cake and
ice cream We sang Happy Birth
day to Edward and had a very
nice time.
