Birds Go South in July

The northward migration of waterfowl doesn't come until April and May. The birds start south again in July and by the time Sept. l approaches, the mi grafton is virtually complete, with no waterfowl remaining in the Arctic, when the hunting sea- son opens there.
 "The government won't let the natives take ducks and geese while the ducks and geese are. in the arctic, but after the birds go south, where they are kill d by thousands of white sportsmen, the government says to the hungry native, now you can hunt" the Rev. John Chambers, Presbyter ian missionary at Barrow, said.
 Sam Taalak, president of the Barrow Village Council, says it is absolutely necessary that the natives be permitted to take ducks for food.
 "The whales are already gone. The caribou are not here yet. Rotting ice makes seal hunting extremely dangerous"
 Taalak said only two whales were taken by villagers this year, Hess than enough for four meals for each family"
 Ducks and geese remain the sole easily obtainable meat supply for the Eskimos, whose diet is go per cent meat. They eat meat for breakfast, lunch and supper
 The Eskimos are particularly puzzled by the sudden enforce ment of waterfowl seasons in the Arctic, where they have seldom been enforced in the past
 Fish and Wildlife Service off cials in Alaska have maintained tight-lipped silence, leaving the whole question up to Washington. And Washington hasn't comment ed.
 'sWaterfoWl mean the differ ence between health and sickness, full stomachs or hunger" the petition to President Kennedy says: Under these circumstances, this law is the equivalent of mak- ing it unlawful for citizens who live in the developed areas to buy groceries at their market"
 The Eskimos view their stand not as defiance but rather as an assertion of aboriginal rights.
 And the banging of the shot guns continue.

BARROW ESkIMOS DEFY FWS :. SHOTCUNS SSTILL BLASTING AWAY

BARROW, Alaska LR - Eskimo shotguns were still rattling along Alaska's desolate Arctic Coast to- day as a tense battle of nerves, pitting age-old practice against government regulation, continued.
 At issue is the right of natives in Northern Alaska to take mi gratory waterfowl for food, at any time of the year, as they have done for centuries.
 The U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service, moving in to crack down on illegal duck hunting by natives in Alaska's northern regions, ar rested two Barrow natives late last month for killing ducks and geese out of season.
 The waterfowl in the posses sion of Tom Pikok and John Nu- sunginya were confiscated, and so were their shotguns.
 Two days later, 138 Barrow Es- kimos filed into the Barrow Hotel where two FWS agents were stay ing.
 Each of the natives carried a dead cider duck.
 Each signed statement saying the ducks were taken out of sea- son.
 Each was charged with illegal possession of waterfowl.
 500 Pounds of Ducks
 The FWS agents packed up the ducks, some 600 pounds Of them and shipped the birds to Fair banks for cold storage, to be used as evidence.
 Asst. U. s. Atty. Jerry Shortell of Fairbanks referred the entire question to Washington, D. C.. for a decision.
 There the matter stands, with 14O men of this Arctic Coast viii 1age charged with illegal pos session of migratory waterfowl No other action has been taken against them.
 And while they wait for the government to move, they are con- tinuing to shoot ducks and geese for food, as they warned they planned to do.
 The Fish and Wildlife Service claims it has no alternative but to enforce it's migratory bird reg ulations because they are based in part on 1916 treaty between the United States, Canada and Mexico which forbids migratory waterfowl hunting on the North American continent b t w n March 10 and Sept. 1.
 On May 30, the Barrow Eski- mos sent a petition to President Kennedy asking him to give them relief or to seek immediate changes in the treaty which would give them the right to hunt ducks and geese for food at any time of the year.

Rep. Rivers Urges FWS to Disregard
 Shooting of Birds

WASHINGTON (Spe cia D - Rep. Ralph Rivers today urged that agents of the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service be disengaged in regard to their controversy with the Eskimos of Alaska over the shooting of migratory birds pending such time as the migra tory bird treaty can be modified ito embody a realistic recogni- ton of the historical right of the Eskimo people to utilize an essential item of their livelihood upon which they have depended since time immemorial."
 In a letter to Secretary of h. terior Stewart UdaQ, Rivers ob- served that presumably the lack of enforcement against the Alas ka Eskimos since the treaty was effectuated in 1916 has been founded on the premise that they did have an underlying ancient or tribal right or equity to take such birds as one of the fruits of their aboriginal economy" He reasoned that the continuance oi such tolerance for so many years also took into account that Els kimo hunters are so few in mum Der as to do no appreciable harm to the migratory bird resource which has not been diminished il recent years although such bird have been killed by the tens O thousands each year by licensed hunters in Canada, the United States and Mexico.
 Rivers also pointed out to tht Secretary of the Interior tha aside from the concept of histori cal rights the language of the Mi. gratory Bird Treaty Act, Title 16 United States Code, Section 704, suggest an avenue which might be basis for appropriate action to resolve the present diff faculties. Under provisions of that section, the Secretary of Interior is authorized and directed, from time to time, having due regard to the distribution, abun- dance, economic value, breeding habits :. to determine when . and by what means to allow hunting, taking, capture, killing, possession of any such birds :. ,
 In concluding MT. Rivers said, ''my urgence in behalf of the Es- kimos is made within the con- text of their reliance upon basic aboriginal rights and pertinent statutory provisions, and not an affront to the well warranted regulations to North America as whole"

Civil Defense Tells
OF Water Storage
CONTINUED from page one)

Water storage for emergency
use is extremely important be-
cause water is more essentiaf than
food in sustaining life during
emergency periods. Here are the
facts and instructions on the stor-
age of safe water:
Containers: Jugs, bottles, jars,
or other containers made OF glass
or polethylene (heavy plastic) with
tlght-fitting caps or tops are the
most suitable (metal containers,
with the exception OF proper can
ming, have the disadvantages of
possible corrosion and tend to give
water an unpleasant taste) Con-
tainers must be thoroughly clean.
Quantities: At least one-half
gallon per day per person for a
two-week period, or a minimum of
gallons per person, for drinking
and food preparation.
Sources: Preferably from the
source normally used by the fam
lily for drinking purposes because
the family members are accus-
toned to its taste and mineral
quality.
If there is any doubt as to the
bacterial safety of water for stor-
age, it must be purified by boiling
vigorously for l to minutes or
by adding laundry bleach in ac-
cordance with the instructions on
the label of the bleach bottle. Cen
orally, one-half teaspoon of bleach
will purify 5 gallons of clear wa
ter, and one teaspoon will purify
5 gallons of cloudy water.
Supplemental Sources: Supple
mental emergency water for drink
ing, washing, food preparation, and
sanitation may be obtained from
hot water tanks, toilet tanks, or
other utility sources within the
building. Some need for liquids
for drinking also can be met by
fruit juice, soft drinks, or water
packed foods, such as tomatoes.
Shelf Life: If stored in clean
containers and if safe bacterially
at the time of storage, water will
remain safe because disease or
ganisms tend to die out with stor-
age Thus, the longer the water
is stored, the safer it will become
from the archaeological stand
point
Potable water stored in glass or
polyethylene containers will re-
main safe, but may change some
what in appearance, taste, or od-
or Although some of these quail
tiles may be disagreeable, they
will not be harmful. Stored water
should be checked every few
months to determine whether con-
tainers have leaked or if any un-
desirable characteristics have de-
veloped in appearance, taste, or
odor. If so, the water may be re-
placed
Because water quality varies
throughout the country, no set
! rule can be given for shelf-life.
Current experience shows, how
ever, that some waters taken di-
rectly from a tap and stored sew
eral years in glass or polyethy-
lene containers cannot be distin-
guished by appearance, taste, or
odor from freshly-drawn water
from the same tap.
