 MURRES PEkGUNS OF THE ARCTIC, PREFER ANCIENT CLIFFS

pact of the explosion would cause the face of the cliffs, where murres and other sea birds lay and hatch their eggs, to collapse.
 Similar to Penguins
 Though the murre is similar in many respects to the famous pen guin of the South Pole region, par ticularly in markings, it is unlike the penguin in that it is swift and strong flyer. When resting on the cliffs, the stance of the murre is up- right and straight much like that of the penguin.
 Early in May in great V forma- tions the murres flock to the Capes. They skim low over the ice hum- mocks or over the open sea. Occa- sionally they rise high into the air only to skim low oyer fhe surface. It is not uncommon to see them in formations with cider ducks that migrate at the same time. There seems to be kinship between these two species of marine birds.
 The great migration of the murres is, of course, to propagate their species on the ancient nesting areas at Cape Lisburne and Cape Thomp- son, two of the few known nesting sites.
 Nesting Sites
 The others are at the Chamisso Islands, Little Diomede and Big Diomede Islands. Big Diomede is located on the Russian side of the International Date Line three miles from the Little Diomede. The nest ing sites on these islands are rela- lively small colonies compared with those at the cape rookeries. In Cape

The murre, the bird that lays unique cone-shaped eggs, in recent years has touched off one of the most heated arguments in Alaska. And the argument stemmed over the fact that the black and white bird, a counterpart to the Antarctic's famous penguin, will only lay and hatch its eggs on ancient cliffs.
 From time immemorial, the yearly migration of the murres to Alaska occurs during May. Hundreds of thousands of them come to nest on the cliffs of Cape Lisburne and Cape Thompson in northwest Alaska.
 The two capes are located near the villages of Point Hope and Xiv alina. Cape Lisburne is 40 miles northeast of Point Hope; Cape Thompson is 30 miles southeast of this village. 40 miles to the south- east of Cape Thompson is Kivalina.
 Caused Controversy
 Since 1858 Cape Thompson has been the subject of controversy with the natives of the area. some scien- lists and conservationists on one side, and the Atomic Energy Com,- mission, on the other.
 The AEC started plans to detonate nuclear devices for experimental excavation on the eastern edge of the bird cliffs at Cape Thompson.
 Soon the question arose; if Project Chariot were triggered, would it destroy the egg cliffs by shock and seismic action of the detonation?
 Some scientists believed the im-

ashamed of my people or my cul- ture. It deeply disturbs me to read something like this because l feel that it comes from ignorance or un- founded bias. Most of my people have a greater knowledge of the outside world than the outside world have of us.
 It has been my experience down South to give lectures about Alaska and in some small measure help to erase some of the erroneous miscon- captions about my home and my people. l have also dealt with tour ists from all over the United States and abroad, and also have given educational programs about Alaska. So it is not with anger that I am replying in reference to your article but to clarify for the people of Jacksonville. North Carolina a few facts about Alaska.

ton at the same time remembering the economic value of these birds to the ESkimos who use them for food and who are fond of the eggs they lay.
 The meat of the murre, although eaten quite extensively by the peo- pie of the capes areas, is not con- sidered as favorite food by them. But the eggs of the murre is a great delicacy.
 There are two species of murres the common murre and the thick billed murre.
 No Nests
 Murres do not build nests. The common murre simply lays it's eggs on long ledges on the face of the cliff. The thick-billed murre lays its eggs on shorter or discontinuous lodges.
 The size of the murre egg is about twice that of large chicken egg, with very unique shape. The side view of the egg gives it the appear ance of a wedge of pie rounded on the large base and on the small end
 The natural reason for the unique shape of the egg is to prevent it from falling off the rocky ledge. When it rolls, it rolls in a small arc and stops with the large end down the incline.
 The shell is thick which would seem reasonable because it is laid on the rock surface.
 Beautiful Eggs
 The color of the egg is usually a beautiful light blue-green, mottled with brown flecks all over it. Few

Letters Typify Feeling About Missionary Article

Daily Times and again in the Tun. dra Times of Fairbanks, Alaska dated Nov. 19, 1862. l am more than merely indignant about this article
 Reverend and Mrs. D. L. Whalev are, as Harry S. Truman would surely put it: "A bunch of d...... liars" typical of the rank and file missionary that has invaded Alaska of recent years, obviously as syn. thetic as World War II tire.
 These hell fire and damnaton Bible humping chiselers come into our cities, towns and villages with nothing more than their hat in their hand. And before year is out they have the best boat on the river or in the lake, the best outboard motor. the best home in the community and generally an airplane.
 Then they suddenly go Outside" (The Lower 43 States) on Fur. lough' for the winter.
 They preach: Tt is more blessed to give than to receive But they are always on the receiving end.
 Our. really dedicated missionaires do not shoot off their mouths the Whaley way and we do have gen- uine, bonafide, registered, certifi. cated, vaccinated, welded and four times rivetted missionaries here in Alaska. Thank God! Father Segundo L1orente of Allakanuk who is the First Catholic priest ever to serve in a State Legislature is such a Genuine Missionary. His people Elected him to the Second State Legislature on a Write In Vote.
 Other genuine missionaries are: Rev. Roland Armstrong. President of Sheldon Jackson Jr. College, Sit. ka, Alaska tPresbyterian: Right Rev. William J. Gordon, Bishop of Alaska for the Protestant Episcopal Church and many others.
 The Whaleys say The natives are inferior, simple filthy people with many superstitions. Most of them live in poverty with no know. ledge of the outside world
 Such lies. iMy people are in every walk of life; i.e, attorneys, nurses, business men; insurance men; bank. CTS; carpenters; hunters: commercial fishermen; big game guides; college instructors; legislators; truck drlv- CTS; airline captains Americans ALL.

are buff color to almost milk-Whlte, mottled with brown flecks.
 When the murre eggs are freshly laid, the people of Point Hope ready their umiaks for egg-gathering trips either to Cape Lisburne or Cape Thompson. Kivalina to the soutn travels to Cape Thompson.
 Several days provisions are taken along for camping near the cliffs.
 Dry weather is chosen for egg gathering. In scaling the cliffs dry footing is needed. When the clifls are wet or damp, they become slip' pery from leavings of the murres on the ledges; therefore, extreme care has to be taken by the picker to keep from falling off the cliffs.
 The picker also has to overcome another distracting and disquietins obstacle. The laying murres swoop down at great speed and just miss
 the head of the picker.
 There is a great temptation py the picker to throw up his hands to scare the murre away. To do this' however, would mean disaster TOT if he should lose his hold on the cliff. the picker would fall to almost certain death.
 And so, the tradition of gather ing murre eggs prevails to the pres. ent time in the Arctic. This age-olo custom of food getting is a way oi getting welcome change in diet. !" was. and is, pleasant diversion, though somewhat dangerous, ana must be classed as one that has con' tributed to the survival of man ID the Arctic.

 There is another point that cries for immediate correction. It states that The natives are inferior. sim pie, filthy people with many super stitions. Most of them live in pow erty with no knowledge of the out

 You are speaking about my peo- pie You could well say that of the lowest social class of any culture like the slun1s found in any big city in the United States or abroad. The natives or the Eskimos and In- dians of Alaska comprise 1l6th of the total population of Alaska, or about 35.0OO.

Thompson the murres that use this site have been estimated to number about 22O,OOO.
 The murres apparently follow a strong instinctive pattern, an an- clent natural law, in nesting the aforementioned areas. They ignore other cliffs that would seem to be ideal for expansion of their propa- gation habits.
 New Cliffs
 One of these cliffs is Eezhrinyik or Cape Lewis. As scientists have observed Cape Lewis is a relatively new cliff, believed to have been formed by earthquake action. It would seem that murres would ex. pand their colonies to this cliff but TOT some strange reason they have not done so.
 This behavorial pattern raised a question among scientists who made environmental studies for the Atomic Energy Commission in con- nection with Project Chariot whether the great colonies of murres at Cape Thompson would establish new nesting places if the face of the ancient cliff were demolished
 Would they abandon the cliffs of Cape Thompson because of their seeming dislike of newly formed cliffs? If this phenomenon took place, where would they go?
 Economic Value
 At any rate, in view of the strange behavorial pattern of the murres, the conservation of these birds be- came foremost in the opinion of many scientists in raising the ques-

 November 29 1862 Mrs. D. L. Whaley Co Free Will Baptist Church International Airport Road, Anchorage, Alaska
 Mrs. Whaley:
 It is written in Ezekiel, 33rd chapter, that we christians are to warn our felloWmen to turn from their wicked ways and to urge them to accept Jesus Christ as their savior. It says also, that if we, knowingly, do not warn our bre- thern to turn from their wicked way, God will blame us and will condemn us to eternal punishment. Since I am protesting Christian, Mrs. Whaleyy I am indebted to God and feel that should give you ad- vice to repent of the things you have allowed the paper to print. I am not trying to preach to you, Mrs. Whaley,, because you are a minister's wife. You have done a statewide damage to the morale of our citizens-citizens who would be willing to attest statement which would convict you to apologize to the natives of our large State of Alaska.
 I don't know what you mean by filthy people, but I do know a filthy mind is worse than physical filth because you cannot erase it until you have confessed before God.
 I am glad from the bottom of my heart that Jesus Christ came to save both the hypocrite and the poor people of the world. If Jesus came to save only the rightious we" and many others" would not be saved.
 Sincerely yours,

 Jacksonville, North Carolina Dear Sir:
 l am fullblooded Eskimo attend ing the University of Alaska. l have just finished reading an article about Alaska put out by your paper which was reprinted in the Anchor age Daily Times. This article was also reprinted in the Tundra Times, paper put out by Alaska Natives. In my opinion. the article contains too many untruths and half-thruths. The article was based on an inter- view with the wife of Free Will Baptist missionary, Reverend Wha- ley.
 Ii rather amazeS me to find out that people could be gullible enough to believe such story. The first point I want to bring out is that Anchorage. Alaska is like any other modern city in the United States proper. One is able to obtain fresh meats. fruits, and vegetables at the local supermarkets. You may find the prices high according to your standards down South but we have a high wage scale to compensate for the high prices.
 Reasoning will lead to the con- clusion that people in Alaska, and especially those that reside in the larger cities. are like any other peo- pie that live, for example, in Jack sonville. North Carolina. The people in Anchorage and other cities in Alaska come from all over the United States and from highly varied backgrounds. The statement about "gory sin. common people. alcoholism, fast money, and fast living" could apply to any other big city in the United States I say that from empirical observation be- cause have travelled all over the United States. and have resided for a period of one year down in the 1 heart of the South-Alabama. Ten nessee, Mississippi. and Florida. Another point I would like to bring out is the statement saying, The children are unable to play or months at time because of the evere cold.'

Glenville Board should erect a
200 bed hospital in Euclid
where one of the nations fast

Glenville was to receive
81, 100000 from the Greater
Cleveland Hospital Fund for
this purpose, and was to turn
over it's physical assets to a
group to be known as the
Forest City Hospital Associa-
ton which would operate the
old Glenville premises.
Because 81, 100000 was only
one-third the amount necessary
to build a 200 bed hospital in
the postwar economy, the
Glenville group conducted a
capital fund campaign which
supplied an additional $1,000

solved that particular problem
by constructing a hospital
building on Parkwood dr.. near
East 105th st. and st. Clair

Not Too Sure
Not being too sure of the
success Of the venture, it was
designed so that it could be
converted into an apartment
dwelling should it not succeed
as a hospital. However, it did
succeed, and in 1909 an addi-
tional wing was constructed.
