Eskimos Tell
 Of 6-Day Ordeal On Drifting Ice
By Thomas Snapp Times Staff Writer

We just kept moving to keep from, freezing: We had hope of be- ing found but that's all," said John Angusuk, one of three Eskimo men from King Island who spent six days on a dangerous ice floe in the Boring Sea-
 About ? pm. Saturday, 38-year- old Angusuk and 43-year-old Igna- tius Kannyap were rescued from the floe by a helicopter but the third man of the trio, 55-year- old Frank Kayvanuk died of exposure
 The three men were cutting up an oogruk on the ice near King Island on December 31 when the shore ice broke loose and the hunt CTS drifted out to sea. They were spotted by large four-engine Army plane shortly before pm. Satur- day.
 We saw the first plane go over just before sunset on Thursday" said Angusuk.
 T took my hunting bag and sweater and put them on top of my spear and waved to signal the plane, but it didn't see us.''
 During the six-day ordeal, the hunters lived on parts of seal which they got. "We ate the liver, the intentines, and little of the meat We had only part of it, just what we could carry" Angusuk said.
 Angusuk and Kannyap were res- cued near St. Lawrence Island. The older dead companion was located about mile and half from where the two were found.
 We knew our only chance was to keep going. Frank couldn't keep up with us; he started stopping

Singer Starts Fad
 Eskimo Makes Gold Parku for EIUis Presley
By Thomas Snapp Times Staff Writer

Mrs. Laura V. Wright, well known Eskimo designer and maker of parkas. recently received an order from ElVis Presley for gold vel- veteen parka.
 And the order has started a fad particularly among teenagers for parkas similar to the one being made for the noted movie and re- cording star.
 The famous rock n roll singer of Memphis, Tenn, saw Wright Alaska parkas at the Seattle Worlds Fair, worn by hostesses at the Alaska exhibit and promptly ordered one.
 The parka which Mrs. Wright is now making for Presley is of gold velveteen with gold satin lining. It also has brilliant gold ornamental trimming. It measures 19 inches across the back, the chest is 40l2 inches, and the sleeve length is B inches.
 Since receiving the order for the parka. Mrs. Wright of Fairbanks, says she has gotten a tremendous number of telephone calls and per- sonal inquiries.
 Mothers Excited
 Even some young mothers are excited about it." she said.
 To illustrate, Mrs. Wright told this little story.
 A couple came to buy parka for their teenage daughter. The ! Continued on Page 5

By Thomas Snapp Times Staff Writer

Eskimos and Indians of the Arctic have at long last won an important legal decision upholding their an- cient right to hunt ducks and geese for food anytime of year.
 A Canadian judge has ruled that the Migratory Birds Conventions Act of 1916 has no application to natives hunting for food and does not curtail their hunting rights.
 In effect, J. H. Sissons, judge of the Territorial Court of the North west Territories, has set legal pre- cedent which attorneys say may be cited in similar cases in Alaska
 In a 13-page decision, the judge wrote:
 From time immemorial, the In dians and the Eskimos of the nortl and their wives and children hay in the spring taken migratory bird for food and will continue to do s and this has been and is necesSar. for their survival and well-being 1He eIIeCt oil tle OiIu PoPuld' tion is negligible . but it would not matter if it were otherwise"

are emotional factors to consider. If you
have thoughtfully mapped out when you
can retire, where you and your wife would
like to live, how you can spend your newly
earned leisure most proftabIy, you're al
most sure to make mental adjustments
with greater ease. And Mr.. Harris book
let can help you do this.

vidual." Now his observations on long
range approach to retiring have been
compiled in a new booklet Planning
Ahead For Retirement" (which is yours
for the asking from New York Life.
According to Mr.. Hart (who retired at
a comparatively early age), the more
planning you put into retirement, the
more it will yield in return.
