First Book of Eskimo in New Written Language Using Letters

"ne" "ou," and ring" Most Of the rest of the sounds are similar to the English and French sounds of the same letters. This alone, says Dr. Gaene, should make it easier for Eskimos to learn the two languages.
 At present only about 800 Eski- mos know the new system, ana Northern Affairs hopes the DOCK will encourage new readers. The department is now working on a dictionary, and expects to publish more stories, including some trans lated from the syllable. They reel optimistic: most of the Eskimo stu dents learned to read and write the new alphabet in less than two months: Said authoress 1llauq Il studied it for about month before used it. It is easy"
 The syllable system now used Is based on the lialect of the eastern Arctic. Although most Eskimos can understand it when it is spoken, the present written form is often ln- comprehensible.
 Miss Illauq is self-educated and has always had keen interest in reading and writing. At an early age she moved north from Pond Inlet to Resolute on Cornwallis Island, where she persuaded residents to allow her to work as teachers aide in the one-room school that had been built by the community. She helped at the school for nearly three years. Her father is the well-knoWn Eskimo hunter, Josephie 1llauq, who is now teaching members of the Royal Canadian Air Force how to build igloos in the four corners or the Arctic as part of the survival training.
 Tn 1861 Miss Illauq came to Ot- tawa and joined the Welfare Divis- ion. She was the first Eskimo intro- duced to the new system of writing.
 q studied it for about a month before I used it." says Leah, who had previously written her first dia- lect stories in syllabics used in the eastern Arctic Tt is easy to under- stand and use"
 The title of her first book trans lated into English is Little Arctic Tern and Big Polar Bear"
 Thus is marked new era in Es- kimo life in Canada.

By Francis Dickie Heriot Bay, E. C., Canada

The first book in the new Eskimo written language has just been printed by Canada's Department or Nortern Affairs. It also contains the first creative fiction ever published and written by an Eskimo.
 The author is Leah Illauq, 23- year-old girl from Pond Inlet on Northern Baffin Island. Her book is a fanciful story, based on Eski- mo mythology, of polar bear that incubates the egg of flighty Arctic tern. When the egg matches, small polar bear with wings crawls out of the shell. Illustrated with anus ing -and-ink sketches by the author, the book is now being dis tributed to Eskimos throughout the north.
 Another Purpose
 The book has another purpose. It introduces a new standard ortho- graphy-which is actually com- mon tool kit of symbols uetters) to be used by Eskimos to express them- selves in their own dialect. Once the new system of writing is learned one of the dialects will emerge as standard literary Eskimo Ian. guage.
 In the past 100 years Eskimos have used an unwieldly system of syllable writing. It looks like short hand and only approximately con. veys the sounds of words. It ofter creates confusion over words tha are very different in meaning bu only subtly different as spoken. Several missionaries to the Eski mos tried to replace the shorthand with alphabetic systems, but theil efforts were colored by nationality A French missionary could hear throatly Eskimo sound like th' French, and an English mission ary might miss it completely.
 "They lacked objectivity," say: Ottawa 1inguist Raymond Gagne  "and for that reason none of them have been an accurate reflection ot l the language"
 The Department of Northern Ar fairs constantly ran into problems with the inaccuracy of the syllable writing. And to print anything (the quarterly magazine "Inukititut," ed- ited by Eskimo Mary Panegoosho. for instance) they needed special type on typewriters and type-set- ting machines.
 So they set iinguists working on a new system. Dr. Gagne, now in charge of the project, talked to Es- kimos from points as far apart as Aklavik and Frobisher. After listen- ing with his well-trained ear, he iso- lated 21 sounds basic to the lan- guage. To represent there sounds the new system usese 15 different letters of the Roman alphabet, and six combinations of them-three double vowels. as, 'ii," "uu," and three sounds peculiar to Eskimo,

 Storm Struck on Day New Sea Wall Made of Oil Drums Started

POINT HOPE. October 4-The vil- 1age of Point Hope was flooded on October 3 as far as the airstrip. Waves caused by northwest winds pushed water over thc beach and into the village This was identical to the flood in Point Hope on Au- gust 30, 1862.
 By FOO pm. the Water had begun to go down. Snow fell after the flood and covered the ground where there was no water.
 Water covered the ground on both sides of the new school but no ser ious damage was done to any con Struction equipment.
 Aerial pictures made by Rev. Dwain Mckenzie showed that the water filled about five tow trenches 1 through the village, All buildings are on the ridges, so no significant damage was done to personal prop , erty except some meat cellars owned by individual families.

 Lots of Marriages, so Bachelor Beware
By Alfred Grant Tanana Reporter

PANAMA, ALASKA, October g, 1e63-Dear Readers: This is my first effort in editing the news of Panama. Hope you can all bear With the mis- takes I may make. This is the mark of not enough education.
 On October 5, Morris Thompson of Tanana the son of Alice and Warren Thompson, was united in marriage to Miss Thelma Mayo Of Fairbanks. She is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Edward Mayo. The Reverend Thomas Cleveland officiated in the wedding ceremony in the St. James Episcopal Church here in Panama. After the ceremony the bride and groom stood out in the rain of water and rice. Yes, it was really raining. And it must have been quite windy too because the rice I threw at them landed elsewhere.
 The Maid of Honor was Miss Mary Etta Purvis of Fairbanks and the best man was Albert Morgan. MT Edward Mayo gave his daughter away. Christy-Wayne Sommer was the ring bearer.
 Reception
 Afterwards we all went to the city hall and held a reception fol
 the newlyweds. They had wedding cake big enough to fill about 15( people They received loads of gift. from all the people and to top it of MT. Warren Thompson gave his sor I and daughter-in-law $500. !, Afterwards we danced till tn, wee hours of the morning. Oh, ye 2 a lot of people came into town fo : this wonderful occasion. I couldn' 7 start naming them all as it woult l take too much space.
 l Bachelors Beware! l Some time ago last month, Philil
 Kennedy, Jr. was married to Mis
 Violet Nicholia. She is the daughte of MT. and Mrs Walter Nicholia This was a wonderful wedding too Seems as though the love bug is pretty busy down our way, so you | bachelors beware!
 Seems as though most of the hunt CTS got their moose this past Sep tember. So We had a combined pot latch for the newly weds mentioned above.
 This past summer our school was enlarged so now the high school stu dents are enrolled there also.
 This will be thirty till the next Tundra call.

terranean houses are used as meat cellars That old village is being washed into the sea more each year.
 Dan Lisbourne. village council president, states that there is less meat in the village at the present time than any previous year. There is not much hunting during fall be- fore the ice moves in so hunting has not been good. If the caribou don't come down this fall, many will have a difficult time this fall and winter.
 Project Starts On October g. the village began it's Rural Development project, us- ing $4.5OO from the State of Alaska. Empty oil drums from the old Army site were placed along the sea wall and filled with gravel to form a lam to keep out future waves of , water which flooded the village f his and last year. :, The drums should be effective the large wave, from the cean will not hit them. The water which flooded the village should ,, ently roll over the high beach. The drum will be placed in such TT way that they will prevent this 'ater from rolling over the top of he beach.
 Mice Flooded Out . During the flood, many mice were f 'een swimming near the village. r Many ground squirrels, no doubt fl lad to abandon their homes, too. i
 Midwives S Four villages midwives in Point i Hope are: Lydia Nashookpuk. Lilly t Oktolllk, Daisy Oomittuk and Bea- tirce Vincent. They deliver an av- craze of about one baby per month. MT. John Gates of Alaska Rural Development of Juneau was in the village October 2, to talk to leaders about the project to build up the sea wall. The day after he left. the village was flooded.
