 Polar Bear Hunters

BARROW, November 15. - Dis cussion was heard this afternoon from different hunters in Barrow. Hunters who do hunt daily, weather permitting, and they who never stay home said, "It's about time for us hunters to take action, be- cause we were taught to hunt for food and the game we caught was slowed away neatly for our own use. "The hunters in planes are com ing next spring and you people know very we'll that we don't raise crops like the outsiders do. Why don't we make a strong rule here, not backsliding rule? You all know that the bear hunters will come in to hunt polar bear next spring.
 One Eskimo hunter said, the only income we get is from the hides, meaning polar bear skin, and we need these badly.
 If the hunters want to hunt polar bears, they should either hire na- tive guide, or follow them out on the ice like we do. We don't want any hunters to hunt, or see them hunt from a plane. This way, they said, no one will say anything about this. Let's all keep this rule in a brotherly way, so we all can go on we'll.
 Let's all hope that this will be re- membered during this coming sea- son. It's not going to be an easy one, like it was before. . We all like to hunt, all of us Let's keep it that way.
 Adult Education
 Talking about adult education there's a class going on here in Barrow school. The oldest student of these adults is 60 years old, and he is doing very well. Still more joining day after day.
 Don't think that you are too ole to come back to school. Don't think that you cannot learn the subject: from being too old.
 You make mistake, there's lot of fun, and still you can learn tt write and read.
 That's what the old people ar' doing here in Barrow. You ma! not like it the first day, but th' second day you will find it casio and I'm sure you will enjoy it toe

Are you kidding, Father who would come 60 miles to get moose : a mile from your village?' he re- piled.
 All right, someone from the vil- lage has been killing moose out of season. What about the subsistence hunting law?"
 The warden explained he was only following the law, that food was available at the village store.
 But we have not seen a piece of meat since last October: we couldn't keep it. How would your youngsters like eating fish three times a day?'
 The warden did not answer
 Father Travanac then told the warden, q hope you do bring charges. I'd love to have case n court on the question of subsistence hunting.'
 The next day the game Wardens quietly departed Gatlak taking with them their unSerVed search War rants.

Firemen's S InsuronceCo.
Marks 125th Year

Firemen's Insurance Co. OF
Washington Is celebrating its
125th year Of operations by dis
tributing an attractive history
Of its development.
Citing the almost unbeliev-
able growth" Of the Washington
area. President v. Manning
Hoffman said "our opportuni-
ties to serve the insurance
needs Of the entire community
grow by leaps and bounds.
THE fact that this company
has survived the strife and tur-
moil Of such a long period OF
time Is as much a tribute to its
founders and early managers as
it is to the wisdom and talents
Of their successors"
The company's original char
ter was issued on March 8,
1887, and listed its name as
The President and Directors
Of the Firemen's Insurance Co,
Of Washington and Georgetown
in the District Of Columbia"
Approved by Jackson
1t was approved and signed
by Andrew Jackson on his last
day as President; James K.
Polk, then House Speaker and
later the 18th President, and
w. w. King, president pro tenn
Of the Senate, who signed in
place Of Martin Van Buren. Mr..
Van Buren was busy preparing
for his own Inauguration as
President the following day.
The booklet recalls that six
other Presidents signed legisla-
ton regulating the company in
later years. They included
Pierce, johnson, Cleveland,
TAFT, Hoover and Eisenhower.
When the company started
operations in 1887, Washington
was a town with a population
Of around 10000, including res
idents Of the then separate
Georgetown. There was no
sewage system and it is un-
likely that any home boasted
running water, the booklet
says.
The company was organized
by members of the Washington
volunteer fire companies and
received its seal from Edward
Stabler on February 16, 1889.
Headed by GuntOn
First president Of the COM
pany was william Gunton, who
received an annual salary of
5000. while Edward Engle was
made secretary at an annual
stipend Of $500 for his services
plus 81 fee for each policy
written as an inducement to
him to produce business.
Capital stock was fixed at
5000, 1000 and holdings were re-
stricted to members Of the vol
