Ecumenical Council Proposes Permanent Information Agency

VATICAN CITY aP The Roman Catholic Ecumenical Coun- sil today began discussing q pro- posal that the Vatican set up a permanent agency to inform and form public opinion.
 A spokesman said the proposal was included in a draft thesis on social means of communication" submitted today to the 2,200 eoun- cil fathers in St. Peters. The docu- ment covers the press. radio. tele- vision, cinema and entertainment.
 The spokesman said a number of speakers in today's closed ses- sion suggested an International Catholic News Agency be estab- lished. This suggestion was ex- pected to be considered as an amendment to the draft thesis.
 A preparatory secretariat head ed by Archbishop Martin O'Con- nor, formerly of Scranton, Pa. drafted the thesis. Archbishop OConnor, Reactor of the Ponti- ficial North American College in Rome, is president of the Com mission on Cinema, Radio and Television.
 The spokesman said the draft, in proposing a. permanent public opinion agency, suggested this body could be either an entirely new one or an enlarged version of Archbishop O'Connor's commis- sion

Training Sessions
 Mrs Jean Burand, Nome District l Home Demonstration agent. has l just returned from the Shungnak- kobuk- Amber region of the upper kobuk River country. There is an ample number of caribou in the area, with many caches full of moose Fishing is goo, especially near the open water at the con- fluence of the Amber and Kobuk Rivers, where mudshark and white fish abound, she reported Winter wood supplies have been gathered some ice stacked for water and all is ready for winter. Almost all, that is There is very little snow and several robins still around = perhaps We all slept through the dark months and 1t is time for breakup?'
 HI meetings, and leaders train- ing sessions were held at all three villages with local leaders Marie, Lydia and Mark Cleveland of Amber showing a fine record with big plans for constructing sleds, snowshoes, bread and skirts for the winter Kobuk reorganized with Edison Hooley and Amelia Gray leading. Projects have not yet been chosen for this group. The Shungnak boys and girls are well into their projects of making cari- bou hide mittens, soap dishes and other objects on their long list ito do' for the winter, under the lead ership of Misses Ruth and Susie Lee and MT. Kriger.
 A clothing construction class was taught by Mrs. Burand as part of the adult education program being carried out by MT. Ken Kriger of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Last year the Shungnak women learned to use a paper pat tern and made cotton dresses. This year lined corduroy jackets with hoods were made. It was most gratifying to see how much was retained over the intervening months. Jackets were completed and modelled for graduation night by Mesdames George Cleveland, Levi Cleveland, Neil Sheldon, Wal ter Douglas, Gene Lee and Miss Ruth Lee. Mrs. Leonard Douglas started her jacket but had to go to the hospital, Sc the group with the assistance of Mrs. Isaac Doug las finished her jacket for her. The excellent work done by the women in the class enabled sev- eral to finish lined jackets, and or slacks for others in their families from the leftover fabric. Hoods, hand warmer pockets and zippers, along with lining, provided the new learnings for this year.
 Plans were made for beginning clothing construction workshop to be held at Kobuk in the fall of 1863 now that there is guest cabin in that village. A leaders conference = All leaders and a chosen representative of tn e Mothers Clubs = was tentatively set up for February of 1864. The purpose of the gathering will be to delineate the position of a lead CT, what is expected of her, what she can expect of the community and skill learnings in clothiag construction with a possibility of the addition of certain craft skills if the demand warrants. Due to housing and space requirements this gathering will probably be
