whales would be taken. This whal- ing community had been known to take fourteen whales in one sea- son.
 Drama Of Survival
 And so, whaling remains as one of the great traditions in the Arctic Alaska - whaling - exciting, chal- longing, eXacting, dangerous. It is deeply woven into the lives of the people in the communities where it is pursued. Although, hunting of other animals is important, this great hunt has nodded way of life.
 The hunt will go on until the last day of May. The whaling crews will debark and rest awhile. Around the first part of June, will come the

of the two men directly behind the harpooner quickly threw an in- Hated seal skin float attached to 150-foot harpoon line over the side (When the harpooned whale is not stopped at once the long line is allowed to uncoil to its full length, but if the while is stopped at once the inflated float is fastened few feet of the harpoon to keep the whale from sinking)
 When the men heard the eXplo- sion, there was a noticeable tense ness among them Each, in his mind, was asking, Did we get it?"
 Turned Turtle
 The answer came almost at once. The huge animal started to turn turtle very slowly. Tenseness in- creased. Will it keep going? The left front flapper broke the water and made slow arc in the air and slowly submerged on the opposite side
 The men watched for a moment, one way or the other. of the now exposed belly of the whale. It swayed slowly from side to side. then was still. The captain was now sure that a kill was made. After the dramatic pause. he shout ed a loud triumphant yell. and was followed instantly by the rest of the crew. The intense silence was broken with happy sounds of shouts and back slaps.
 Sharing
 Three whaling crews raced to the kill along the ice banks of the lead The first one to reach it would be awarded the next choice portion of the whale after the captain and his crew had selected Other crews would get their choices, according to their turns.
 The Tow
 Additional seal skin floats were attached to the dead whale. A har- poon was plunged at the tip of the head and the four crews aligned themselves one after the other for the tow to the shore ice.
 The tow began with loud happy sounds from all members of the four whaling crews They sang and joked as they padded hard. making interminably slow progress. But that did not matter to the hard working men. A whale had been taken, a big one. It meant food, good food and plenty of it, for everyone in the village.
 Great News
 When the tow was completed the triumphant captain sent messen- ger, a young man who was fleet of foot, to carry the great news to the village.
 When the messenger reached the village, it was the women. children, and the aged who rejoiced. Even the dogs seemed to sense the good news as they let chorus of yelps and howls.
 Feverish activity began in the will lage. Women, young women, older boys, hitched their dogs and with teams made their way to the camp where the whale had been taken.
 At the camp, the men made ready to cut up the large whale. It would take about two days and nights to cut it up. Dead men," or anchors, were chopped out in the ice for the block and tackle. Addi- tional cooking tents were raised to accommodate the many people who would be working around the clock until the cutting was completed.
 Hopes
 As the whale was cut and appor- tioned, it was loaded into sleds and taken to the village and put under ground food caches Before the haul ing was done, each team had made several trips to the cutting opera tion. Much food had been taken
Tundra times., 1963-04-15

Then around 2:15 AM, a watch man sees a whale surface about 300 yards away. He quickly runs to the sleeping men and shakes each one vigorously, saying in a loud whisper, "AGVIK"
 Fast Getaway
 The crew awakes in an instant. They run to the umiak that had been readied for quick launching. A chute had been carved out for that purpose on the ice under the bow.
 The men push the craft into the water on the run, each man board ing at his assigned position. All of this action takes about a minute or little more after the men are awakened
 The Watchmen made sure to tell especially the captain and the helmsmen where the whale had sur faced. From then on. it was largely up to the man who steered the umiak to place the crew at a most advantageous position from which the harpooner would strike.
 Hard Pursuit
 At the outset, the crew padded in unison with great vigor to over- take the whale. The helmsman esti- mated the position of the sub- merged animal so the umiak would be behind, as close by as possible, on the wake or a little to one side or the other. The umiak must be kept out of the line of vision of the whale. (its line of vision is about 45 degrees angle backwards in relation to it's forward and back position,)
 On this particular hunt. the great animal surfaced some 80 feet ahead | of the umiak. The helmsman was almost correct in his calculations. The position was good!
 As its nostrils cleared the sur face of the water, the huge whale spewed forth with a loud whoosh- ing noise great column of steamy breath high into the air. The titan then went into a shallow dive.
 It would surface again, then again. We have time,' thought the men in the Umiak. They began to paddle swiftly, almost violently, but with precision.
 The Strike
 On the second surface they had made desired gain. On the third surface they would be in perfect position to strike. The helmsmen eased the umiak to the right and then to the left at about a 45 de- gree angle to the whale. As he did so, the monstrous whale surfaced once more.
 The harpooner quickly put his paddle in the umiak, stood up, brac- ed his feet and picked up his dart ing gun He raised it over his head, pulled his arms back bending his body slightly backwards. For an instant he stood poised in that po- sition, then, with a mighty effort, he threw the weapon aiming at his target beneath the water line. The umiak stopped abruptly as it bump ed against the great black body of the whale.
 Weapon Worked
 When the haCpoon penetrated a foot, the trigger rod came in con- tact with the whale firing the pow der charge that plunged the fuse bomb into the whale.
 There was small report and about three seconds later a dull explosion sounded from beneath the water. The fuse bomb had worked!
 The great animal shuddered visi- ply, partially submerged, then it was still. The harpooneT had stop ped it with one shot, The explo-

This is the month-April. The traditional whale hunts, exciting and dangerous, will begin in widely separated communities in Alaska The best known localities are, St. Lawrence Island, Point Hope, Point Lay, and Barrow.
 Two communities stand out in this group for their vigorous pur- suit of whaling-Point Hope and Barrow. These two villages have hunted whales for centuries past There is an informal rivalry be- tween them; they keep close tab on each others take each spring.
 And too, whaling conditions are more ideal at these two villages, especially at Point Hope. There, water leads open comparatively close to the village; a mile to about five miles out.
 This is the month when the mood of the communities change from the. more or less, routine matters of the rest of the year. An air of eX- citement pervades them-a mixture of expectancy, hope safety.
 This feeling of keen excitement at whaling time is recurring mood. Its sense of dramatic atmosphere is the product of tradition gained through learning by experience. nerve. bravery. Thus. it has become a classic illustration of survival in the Arctic.
 The Hunt The hunt is on. The whaling cap- i tainS, their crews, their women, have made thorough preparations. Some of the umiaks have been re- covered with new oogruk skins: warm clothing for the hunters has oeen sewn by the women: weapons lave been readied for instant use; whale cutting knives have been to razor's edge. camp Ing gear for the cook of the crew has been assembled
 Men, as they hunt for seal and polar bear. begin to look for some- thing more - whales. One day a hunter, as he walks along an open lead sees an unmistakable and fa- miliar sight whale surfacing with a great column of steaming breath shooting high into the air.
 The Signal
 He turns toward the village and hurries home. He shouts to the first person he comes across, "AGVIKr WHALED
 This is the signal that had been waited for with tense expectancy It is time for action; the time to transport the whaling umiak load ed with gear to the edge of the water lead.
 Whaling captains begin to as- semble their respective crews. Umiaks are placed on low, flat sleds especially made for trans porting them, and are pulled by the crew or by dogteam. An in- formal arc develops in which each crew dashes to the lead to be first 10 pick most strategic location.
 Once there, each crew picks out its whaling site, invariably a small ice cove. The reason: whales float up to them to rest. On many occa- sions whales are caught in these right at camp, but on the main they are taken on exciting chases and maneuvers.
 Continuous Vigil
 Once the camp is set up, con- tinuous vigil begins around the clock. While the crew sleeps in their warm winter clothes, one member helps watch. Another mem- Der takes his turn the next night.

Delegate Race
0f2COnfesfed

RICHMOND, Nov. 81
(A).-A defeated written
candidate for the House of
Delegates Is contesting the
election Of two incumbent
delegates from the Lynch
burg area.
]. B. Brayman contends
the ballot did not list proper
ly the offices which Dele
gates Thomas r. Glass and
Earle M. Brown sought.
Mr.. Brayman and ]. Hart
Snyder had run against Mr..
Brown and Mr.. Glass as
write-in Candidates in the No
vember general election. Mr..
Brown and Mr.. Glass won
reelection, Mr.. Brown as the
delegate for the Lunchburg-
Amherst County floater dis
trict and Mr.. Glass as the
delegate from Lynchbrug.
Mr.. Brayman, in a petition
to the House of Delegates,
contends that the ballot was
not proper because it did not
list the specific office for
which the two were running.
Instead, he said, the ballot
listed both Mr.. Glass and Mr..
Brown below the office "for
House Of Delegates without
specifying the district or seat
for which they were respec-
tive candidates"
As a result. his complaint
said, "a writ elm campaign
for J. B. Brayman and ].
Hart Snyder was frustrated
and lille ally defeated be-
cause Of the failure to sepa-
rate the offices on the ballot;
that voters for said write-in
candidates were isle d by
being unable to designate on
the print e d ballot the an
nounced candidate they
sought to oppose; and that
the election should be void
and a writ of election or
dered."
George r. Rich, clerk Of
the House of Delegates, said
the petition ultimately would
come to him and would be
referred to the House at the
regular session opening
January 8. He said it would
be up to House Speaker E.
Blackburn Moore to rule on
what disposition should be
made Of it.
