Eskimo Halloween
By MARTHA TEELUK Contributing Editor

I don't know when the Eskimo started celebrating Halloween but do know since my childhood they always have been having their own version of Halloween, called guar i'tau. The word has no meaning t me but there may may be some readers who have a meaning for it. This holiday formerly was cele- brated in the fall, during the shcrt period after fishing season and just before the fall hunting
 Young men and boys dressed up in their oldest clothes. They turned their parkas with the fur side out and were clad in furs of foxes. rabbits, some even had clothes of bird skins. Then they would paint their faces black with charcoal.
 Some of them stuffed themselves with pillows so they looked like over fed people. They also made masks by handsome with enor- nous noses and all kinds of ex- pressions. There was competition among them as who could make the most hilarious costume.
 When their costumes were com plete, they would visit each house and on the way make motions of distorted dancery and enjoy the freedom to behave fcolishly.
 No one dared to make sound be- cause the people would recognize them by their voices. They went from house to house and were treated to duck, fish, berries, aku- taq (Eskimo ice cream, or what ever the people had.
 Today Halloween is celebrated as it is in most places Children will put on costumes and make their own masks out of lb. sugar sacks with funny faces painted on them Bits of fur are sewed on for eye brows and mustaches.
 Some young boys even dres. themselves up like girls and vice versa. Of course, they all are greeted with goodies in each house and everybody enjoys themselves.

Sketch
 Wales

Cape Prince Of Wales is the closest point to Soviet Russia from North American mainland. On clear day you climb the kingegan Cape, about a mile south of the village, look southwest across the Bering Straits and you will see East Cape of Si- beria 52 miles away.
 The men of the village are skillful ivory carvers. T hey are also without equal in the art of handling the tenn permental kayak They travel in these tipDv boats even in quite rough weather
 It is reported prior to 1913 that Wales had a population of about 700 Eskimos. In 1918 the Spanish Influenza descended on the village. When the raVages of that disease were finally over. there were but about l50 left alive.
 This was one of many great trag- edies that have befal'en the Eskimos since the middle l800s.
 The population cf Wales has since slowly increased and is up to about 250 or 300 at the present time.

2. What do you think about the
 proposal to build a home fer
 the aged Natives in interior and
 northern Alaska?
 Naturally favor caring for aged and infirm Natives in their own homes and with their own peo- pie wherever possible In addition to this, am in favor of three homes in Alaska to care for those who can- not be better cared for otherwise Gone in the northwestern. one in the central, and another in the southeastern part of the state The revised standard of living that we have forced upon these people has seriously disrupted their entire economy, and ample provision should be made immediately for those who have been so ruthlessly victimized.
 8. If Rampant Dam is built, what
 
 with the people who now live in
 the area that would be covered? I feel that relocation should be made where and under conditions favorable to the Natives involved .. not some arbitrary spot selected at random by disinterested scv- ernment official. This may appear to be an unnecessary statement, but we do have many instances of Ma tive relocations where our govern ment completely ignored this simple formula. Moving any people away from the neighborhood of their na- tivity :. away from the countless scenes so indellibly imprinted on childhood memories =. away from the burying grounds of their ances- tors and loved ones is not a matter to be treated lightly
 g. Would you work or use your
 influence toward getting Con- Si SSo lo uCllilc lllc IlSlltS Ol IN d.
 tives in Alaska?
 Yes, because I can think of no other way to arrive at permanent and satisfactory settlement of this very important matter that is long overdue.
 TO- What do you consider the three outstanding problems of Alaska Ma tives today?
 Health-When we pressured the Natives from a predominantly meat diet to one of too high a percentage of carbohydrates, their health be- gan to deteriorate. This naturally meant decreased immunity and re- sistance to the newcomers diseases. As result, the death rate still exceeds the birth rate in many of their villages. Needless to say, there is no use in asking for anything if the benefactor isn't going to live long enough to benefit by it.
 Education is also basic, because it is mere fallacy to introduce some thing unless the people are suffici-

u. S. BOOKING
Of Bus Firm
Looms Urged

Federally guaranteed loans
to private mass transit COM
panies were proposed today by
Delmer Ison. executive director
of the Washington Metropoli-
tan Area Transit Commission.
Such guarantees of loans to
private transit companies for
the purchase of new buses
would give rise to one of the
greatest booms in the urban
transportation industry that
this country has ever SEEN"
Mr.. Ison said.
1.-THE one great problem con-
fronting private operators to-
day is that the large sums Of
borrowed money required to
purchase modern buses must be
repaid in short period of from
five to seven years." Mr.. ISon
said. The private companies do
not recover this money
Through depreciation charges)
until about IL to II years have
elapsed, he said.
Mr.. Ison's suggestion con-
trastS with the approach for
bus financing in the admins
tration's urban mass transit bill
which begged down in the last
session of Congress.
That bill, as reported from
the Senate Banking Committee,
would provide grants and loans
for new buses and other equip
ment. This money, however.
would not go directly to private
operators. 1t would go to public
bodies which could purchase
the equipment for public trans
portation systems or lease it to
private operators.
The private segment of the
urban mass transportation in
dustry, led by area private bus
companies, tried unsucceSSfully
to amend the administration
bill to make it possible for the
grant and loans to be chan
neled directly to private COM
panieS.
Mr.. Ison'S suggestion was
made in a speech prepared for
delivery at a meeting of the
Virginia Passenger Bus Associa-
ton in Hot Springs, Va. The
association is a group of private
transit companies.
IF the Federal Government
really wants to cooperate with
and contribute to the cause Of
private enterprise. it could en-
act legislation similar to FILA
whereby the Gov
would agree to insure
loans of mass transit operators
=" the area transit body chief
said.
