overtureS of apologetic nature to the animals they had to kill.
 This feeling must have been quite general. No doubt the advice, Do not kill animals you do not need,' sprung from this attitude.
 There were other overtures of atonement the ancient people of the north made toward their ami mals Mentioned earlier was the beautifying of the weapons. Others were made in legends, songs, and dances.
 One great hunter on the Arctic coast, not long ago, came across a wolverine. This animals fur was much desired for hood ruffs on the artegee, or the parka.
 The animal passed within easy shooting distance. Upon closer scrutiny, he found the fur was not of desired quality and he let it go on unharmed. He said, Why should I shoot it? Its fur was not good for anything"
 Greiving Reindeer
 Back in the 192OS most villages in the north had reindeer herds which they used for food and clothing.
 In the month of August when the hair of the animal was prime for parkas, the herds were rounded up and butchering for food and cloth ing ensued. One of the most desired

in perfect shooting distance. He raised his shotgun and fired. A furry of feathers flew off the giant bird indicating that he had made direct body hit.
 The king loon quivered visibly then spread it's wings straight out and glided beautifully, landing with a smooth spray of wake on the quiet waters of lake.
 The young hunter started to stalk it at once in order to put it out of it's misery. As he did so, the head of the great bird began to droop until it's bill was half way into the water.
 When he thought he was close enough to shoot, the loon raised it's head high, arched it and dived into the water. It came up far out of shooting range. As the young hunter watched the head of the king loon dropped once again.
 Many years later the hunter said, q have never forgotten that loon. In the first place its meat is not good to eat. Even dogs will hardly touch it.
 "The thing I can't forget was the way that big loon took the shot. It would have toppled any other bird. Even under such circum- stances, that king loon had dignity.
 That incident has haunted me and since that time l have never taken any animal l didn't need.
 Based Conscience
 There were probably many such incidents that involved man and his animals in the Arctic country. Native hunters and their families were far from being heartleSS when it came to killing animals. A great hunter was a considerate man who actually felt something akin to kindness toward the animals he | hunted.
 In his attempts to make atone- ments, upon finding the vital ne- cessity of taking game for surVlVal' he eased his conscience somewhat and at the same time attempted to establish a compatibility between himself and the animals he hunted. In attempting to do this, he left a saving, Animals will not fear man whose soul is good and who is kind and generous"

ed on high ground with the idea of having the deepest chamber above the water seepage level. At Point Hope, at the westermost point of the Alaska mainland, sigloaks were excavated among the old village ruins that were above seepage level.
 This community of ancient whal- ing culture, built its sigloaks with roof supports of whale jawbones, shoulder blades, ribs, vertebrae, and slabs of rocks. Wood was not used because it rotted in comparative ly short time.
 The Point Hope sigloak usually had two or three chambers or shelves at different levels. The deepest chamber was used to keep a frozen meat supply. Whale meat and muktuk were stored in it, the choice diet of the Point Hope Es- kimos. This deep chamber kept meat frozen even during the sum- mer months.
 The upper chambers were used for storing walrus, oogruk, seal, and other meats. These levels during summer were usually at about freezing point or at slightly warmer temperatures. This was desired be- cause at these temperatures the meat went through process of curing or tenderizing. The Eskimos had liking for meat that was cured to the point of pungent aroma.
 Wasted Nothing
 As was pointed out at the out set, the natives took animals pro- portionate to their needs. Through experience they had learned to waste nothing of what they had The animals they took were utiliz- ed where almost every part of it was used for food or clothing.
 This manner of utilizing of ani- mals was probably due, in part, to times of food shortages when hunt ing conditions were unfavorable.
 Akin To Animals
 The natives in the Arctic regions, as well as those in the interior, in having to survive through hunting economy, had become akin to the animals they hunted.
 The animals were indeed vital to their existence and a great many of them had to be taken. In taking them hunters did not always feel justified to kill them. They made

 Sea Dunking

Got home tired though.
 Sea Dunking
 One lovely morning in August we went out walrusing in one of Brewers boat. Mrs. Thomas Brewer and myself were young men then, newly married.
 On our way down toward the moving ice, we happen to see wal ruses. Those walruses were way up on the ice and the ice was some- what shaped like mushroom. We shot them and got three walrus.
 There was one Walrus near the edge of the ice. So my buddy Thomas Brewer and myself went over to tie the rope around the tusk. We both heard something like cracking ice under us. All of a sudden the place where myself and Thomas Brewer and walruses were on broke under both of us.
 First thing we knew both were in the salt water I never know what would come to me next but l was thinking that I was goner Somehow I grabbed the rope that Tom and had tied to the dead wal rus. Then I pulled up on the sur- face on the water When I get on the ice I still was holding the rope. 1 thought l came to the safe place
 There above me I saw ice but couldn't see the men on the ice. noticed this ice was rocking back and forth. Each time when the ice l was standing on goes up I would see my foot all on the dry ice. And when she goes back down the water

By Howard Rock Times Editor

Do not kill animals you do not need,' Tony Joule, at the Inupiat Paitot meeting at Kotzebue last October, quoted this ancient ad- vice that has been handed down from generation to generation in the Arctic.
 This advice has been honored to a great degree down through time to the present day. To defy it is to invite loss of respect from the popu- lace of a community.
 Attractions have been and are us- ually made by those of arrogant nature. Fortunately those are few and far between. The advice has always had the general respect of the people and therefore observed quite faithfully.
 The Eskimos and Indians in their pursuit of game were not and are not heartless killers of animals. as they are sometimes pictured. They were and are very much aware of the finality of death and have made attempts to atone for the kills they have made in order to survive.
 Beautified Weapons
 The famous archaeologist Dr. Eelgc Larson, director of the Arctic Institute of Denmark, had this to say:
 'The Eskimo hunters were not heartless killers of animals. You will notice that on their weapons, like the harpoon. they carved beau- tiful and intricate designs. There was a reason for this and it had been handed down from generation to generation. The ancient Eskimo hunters in making their weapons beautiful and attractive had con- victions that the animals they took did not like to be killed with ugly weapons"
 There have been kills of animals that would seem to take slaughter proportions. This has been done because hunters knew the take could be stored for future use.
 SiglOaks The people along the Arctic coast, | for centuries, had sig loaks, underground food caches, to | store meat a year or more at a time.
 The sigloak was usually excavat-

Welcome was known by the Bar row people to the three persons who came in today by Wien Airlines. The names of these persons are. Commissioner Philleo Nash. Area Director, MT. Robert Bennett. and Superintendent of Alaska Schools MT. Coombs.
 Today in children's program a key was presented to Daniel, one of the school kids, by MT. Bennett. After he handed to him the boy said, "Thank you, Robert" The boy didn't even add another word be- side thank you
 MT. Bennett said the people concerning this key. ''Education is the key to begin with to open the problems to the children and the adults"
 As he sees now, the children are doing we'll in school.
 Good Workers
 During dedication of buildings . Commissioner Nash said today that this is the first time he has ever been in Barrow village. He sees now that our place is the big town and finding good citizens in Barrow.
 He said Magistrate, Mrs. Sadie Neakok, took him to the houses visiting them and quite sorry that he has only short time to do this. MT Nash said to the audience this evening that the Eskimos are smart people and good workers. The Es- kimos from Alaska who went down

Yet I was holding the rope. Finally the boat comes around the ice and picked Thomas Brewer and myself in.
 Lucky this has happened in Au- gust.
 Loose Dog Problem
 A word has just come to the par ents of Barrow. They have agaln experienced near serious injury to school child.
 There's numerous several loose dogs around school. A siX-year-old child who had no chance when the dog attacked him. MT. Gordon sald if it hadn't been for Mrs. Stotls, the beginners teacher, this couio have been tragedy.
 He said, that once the parents are made aware of the seriousness ol this problem, that we parents Will not have to wait for another tragedy before action is taken on the loose dogs in our town. He said. the loose dogs on the school ground is some. thing that, with your cooperatlon' we can do something about.
 Eskimo Theater
 The older people have been talking of putting an Eskimo pro- gram. First: The time when the Eskimos do having big last war. Second: When big starvation ar- rives to the village. Third: How ten-legged bear killed.
 There are several others that could be used to this kind of scene. We do not know when this will ap- pear. Hope it will come sooner. j
