Dear Mr.. Editor:
Kindly allow me a little space
in your paper to answer a state

per- dated October 26, 1868
which stated that in the hospital
the Reaches was crawling over
the place, then mentioned three
names to ask, which one of them
happened to be mine, George
Ebbesen'. / would like to make
it known that I have not seen the
Editor Of the Democrat and no
statement was made by me to
anyone in regards to Reaches in
the hospital.
The reason for my short stay in
the hospital wasn't due to reaches
crawling over me, was becau e
Dr.. Karell saw such great improve
ment the second day Of my oper-
alton that he decided to let me go
home the third day, also my wife
being a nurse and was on vaca-
ton.

AN OPEN LETTER

Dear Mr.. Virgin Islands Telephone
Company:
Genuf1ection is due you from
everyone of us who today raises
the instrument from the cradle
and hears the gay sound Of the
dial tone merrily awaiting the
wish of him who seeks to phone.
Moreover, telephone courtesy we
never knew today typifies a res
ponse to a request or a complaint.
VIZ have come far from the frus-
tration of les than a year ago,
when one would hang on for a
half an hour before giving up the
agony Of trying to reach an opera
tor. In those days, within the
towns, it was easier on the blood
pressure and certainly faster to
walk to the person whom you
wanted.
The telephones, themselves are
at once sturdier, they ring louder
and bespeak in general of a mod
ern, efficient system. Similarly,
the directories are becoming more
accurate and we are gradually
acquiring a good classified direct
DRY. /,
For all Of this w are grateful

like his partner had told him.
 He looked down through the broken side and saw ladies picking berries There was one lady right below him. He made noise to see if he could make the lady look up. To his surprise, the lady looked up and saw him. The young man took good look at the woman She was very beautiful.
 'I'm looking for a lady to be my wife. If you agreed to be my wife, you will have a nice home and you will have everything you want" Panutak said.
 But the lady said, You come down here, instead of me coming up there to you. I'm an only child in the family and my parents will be glad to have you. I have never belonged to any man. will take you home to my parents"
 So Panutak went down and went With the lady.
 At home, Mektoyok waited and waited but his partner did not re- turn. He went out and looked for the broken drum. The drum had dis appeared. He went all through the village looking for Panutak but he was nowhere to be found.
 Partner Killed
 Some people in the village had heard that a berry picker had brought home a young man in a far-off village. Since the young man was total stranger the men of that village killed him.
 All that winter Mektoyok stayed in Keegnigin. One day a stranger come from the village of Shish- maref Metoyok sent his wife to ask the stranger to come to their igloo to eat.
 After the meal, Mektoyok asked the man if he had heard anything

Tyonek Wins Important Decision; Will Get Money From Oil Leasing

The Indian village of Tyonek. about 40 miles form Anchorage, on April 23 won an important decision in it's legal battle for revenues from oil leasing on the MoquaWkie Res ervation.
 The US. Interior Department and the Bureau of Indian Affairs have switched their positions and instead of holding moneys from oil leasing in escrow, both have agreed that proceeds of the Tyonek sale will ac- cure to the benefit of the natives.
 Specific details of just how the proceeds will be used have not been released but rumors here are that the moneys can be used for economic development of the na- tives.
 A decision by the BIA and the Interior Department in Washington, DC. to call off proposed sale of leases on 32 tracks of the reserve averted two federal court cases scheduled to be heard two days afterward in Anchorage.
 One case was by an Anchorage woman, Mrs Louise A. Pease, who sought a preliminary injunction to keep the Department from going ahead with the lease sale. Mrs. Pease claimed that the area offered for leasing is the same as that cov- cred by IA lease applications she filed on May 2l, 1862.
 A second case was by four major oil companies-Skelly Oil Co.,, Sin- clair Oil Co.,, Pan American Petrol cum Corp, and Phillips Petroleum Co.
 The oil companies sought an in- junction to prevent the BIA from opening bids in an oil lease sale re- ceived on April 3. The companies, who had submitted bids for the tracks. said they would be "irre-

Village Councils
 Can Become Game Advisory Councils

Frank Degnan. of Unalakleet, a member of the State Fish and Game Board, has suggested that village councils can become advisory coun- cilS for the state Fish and Game Board.
 Degnan said advisory councils were needed in the villages to in- form the state board on local condi- tions and needed changes in the state fish and game regulations.
 He urged each council to send in the names of its members and off, cers and request appointment as "Village Advisory Council

parably damaged" if the bids were opened as the scope, extent and value of the lands to be leased would be divulged to the world.
 Attorney Paul Robinson, rep- resenting the oil companies. said it was obvious to the world that Ty- onek was "very valuable area.' He told Judge Hodge that each of six oil companies had spent some $250,000 to prepare for the Tyonek lease sale.
 Oil men have stated they believe the reservation covers the top of a subsurface structure that shows promise of being an oil reservoir.
 The oil companies sought the in- junction because of previous rul- ing by the federal judge in favor of Tyonek that the bids could be op- ened but forbidding the issuance of leases.
 Tyonek had filed court case ob- jecting to the BIA offering the leases with the funds to be held in escrow.
 Because of the switch in position of the Interior Department, all bids received on April have been re- turned and new lease sale under a different procedure will be held in the near future.
 The Interior Department reinter- preted a 1927 act CA Stat. 1347, 25 use. 398(a) and its accompanying letter to allow leasing on unallotted lands within the limits of any reser- vation or withdrawal created by executive order for Indian purposes or for the use of occupancy of In- dians.
 Since the April sale was can- celed, Judge Walter Hodge on April "A dismissed the court cases filed by the Anchorage woman, Mrs. Pease. and the case filed by the oil companies.

Nenana Protests StOfe Selection

The Village Council of Nenana last month made blanket claim of land around Nenana and filed with the Bureau of Land Management here protest against state selection in the area.
 Daniel Jones, manager of the ELM land office here, quickly dismissed the protest. The Village Council of Nenana and the Bureau of Indian Affairs recently appealed Jones' de- cision to Secretary of Interior Udall in Washington, DC.
 In 1861, the villages of Minto, Tannacross. and Northway filed similar protests with the Bureau of Land Management.

 Tragic Plan of Eskimo Partners To Have One Wife Between Them

from a different village about Pan- utak. The man told him they had heard from Keekeetaroak tKotze- bue) that fall that woman berry picker had brought home a young man. When Keekeetaroak people found out about the young man, they killed him.
 Mystery Solved
 When Mektoyok heard this, he was sure that the slain young man was his friend, Panutak. He thanked the man from Shismaref for the news.
 Later, Mektoyok hitched up his dogs and left for Keekeetaroak. When he got there, it was night. He quietly went to the back of the village to look over the bodies that had died that fall. Qn the old days they wrapped dead bodies with skins)
 He went from one dead person to another until he finally found the body of his friend. He wrapped Panutak neatly and gently and wept over him as he left the grave. yard.
 Revenge
 AS he walked along grieving the loss of his friend, Mektoyck because angry and revengeful. That night when the people were asleep, Nick toyok entered an igloo and slew everyone in the household. He went into another and did the same thing but one person got away to the next igloo and warned the people there.
 Fearing that his identity might be found out, Metoyok fled in the night and returned to Keeknigin.
 Keekeetareak people never knew who the murderer was until long time later when Mektoyok died. His wife went to Keekeetaroak and told who he was.

And not to waste my time away, I do art work (something rare for an "Old Salt~ using colored cement as my method of making murals or plaques.
 It would be a great pleasure to me to secure a print or photo of the Bear" Perhaps you could sug- gest as to where to get one.

 Thanking you in advance for any kindness shown, I remain,

Changed Mind

Mektoyok said, i've changed my mind. I'll have this woman all to myself
 Well partner, where did you get this woman? Can you show me where you got her." asked Panutak.
 "Why sure. I'll show you where I got this lady. When you go out of our igloo, you walk right straight ahead until you find an old Eskimo drum that is broken on one side. You look through the broken side and you will see ladies picking ber- ries. If you see one right under you, try and see if you can make her look up at you. If she looks up at you. tell her you want her to come up, but be sure you don't go down, even if she tells you to come down."

TUNDRA TIMES
By Joe Carter NoOrVik Alaska

Once upon a time there were two boys, Mektoyok and Panutak, who grew up together in the village of Wales on Cape Prince of Wales. The Eskimo name of the village was Keegnigin. The two boys played to- gether and never got far apart.
 They called each other Tovaka- nok, just the same as one would call his best friend, partner.
 On day, Mektoyok told his part ner, When we grow up to be men, we should get one woman for our wife. Panutak agreed. They prom ised one another they would stay in the same igloo. Yes. they would build an igloo for themselves when they became men and have one wife. otherwise they said to one another, If we take each a wife, we might get separated
 When they grew up, they built their igloo and stayed together for a long time.

One Wife

 One evening, Mektoyok, went out and stayed until very late. Finally, he came in and brought a woman with him. Panutak had never seen the woman before She was not from their village of Keegnigin.
 Panutak said, "Well partner, you finally got us wife. She is a nice looking lady. Now partner, is this lady going to be wife to both of us?"
 Mektoyok was quiet for a long while. He was thinking. Finally he said to Panutak, Well partner, l think this lady is for me alone
 "Well, what's wrong?" asked Panutak. "You always told me, that when we grew up we'd have one wife, one who would stay quiet about it. We can stay together now that you have found us wife. How come you want this woman all to yourself?'

THE WORLD TO-DAY

devastated Diem and his brother Nov. 1.
 The Victnamcsc people never have known democracy. They moved from French colonialism in- 10 Dicm's dictatorship. Since they never had a chance to practice it. t can't mean to them what it docs to those who grew up under it..
 Ii can be no surprise then if thc generals ignore the damocratIc road and operate as a dictahrah.o.
 If so, there can be no surn nriso if the country sinks into chaos under the weight Of new expressions and power struggles.
 Since the people are relieved to be free of Diem, the generals for a while at least are likely to have the country behind them and be able to fight good war against the Communist guerrillas.
 At news conference in Sep tember, President Kennedy said, We are for those things which help win the war" He was fed up with Diem. The generals looked like a fresh start.
 This explains why the Kennedy Administration, within seven days of the coup, recognized Viet Nam's provisional military government and why it hesitates so much in recognizing Latin American miIi- tary cOupS which crush democratic regimes.
 But victory in the field against the Communists is not final vic tory. The Communists in North Viet Nam will try other methods, promising always a better life to the masses of Viet Nam.
 The new government in Viet Nam, even if it wins the fighting war, will have to find an answer to offset the Communist promises. The answer lies in programs of benefit to give the masses a req son for not choosing Communism.

NEW YORK LA' - Remarks that babv-sitters get tired of hearing:
 Its such a bad night out that my husband and I decided we'd stay home. so we won't need you after all. I'm sorry you had to come so far in such a pouring rain. Here's 50 cents for your trouble" '"
 You mean these high school girls have the nerve to charge 75 cents an hour for doing practically nothing? Why, I was three years out of college before I made that kind of monoy.'
 This is our little son, Junior You don't have to worry about him biting. It's his little sister, Cissie, who bites. Junior just tries to stamp on your foot when you're not looking
 I'm dreadfully sorry, but our televisiOn set broke down this af- ternoon and I haven't had time to get it fixed. I'm afraid you'll have to read the little dears to sleep"
 They're running low on clean diapers. If you have to wash a few you can fast-dry them by hanging them in front of the kitchen stove"
 If you get hungry, be sure and make yourself a sandwich. There's some leftover chicken in the re- frigerator that's been there for days and days and I hate to just throw it away"
 After you feed the baby, and cook the lamb chops for the other two children, and get the dishes done, I'd appreciate it if you'd just give a swipe to the living room furniture with a dust cloth"
 Well, well, we'll - so you're the new baby-sitter Mable was telling me about. Gee, kid, I wouldn't mind staying home myself and let you baby-sit me for a while.'
 Your mother told me you have an important exam tomorrow, FL sic, and I promised her we wouldn't keep you late. Jim and I should be back by 1O:3O pm. - or only a little after midnight at the very latest"
 "If you don't let me get up and go to the bathroom, you'll be sorry"
 Sorry We were gone so long, Elsie. Oh, dear, I seem to be short of cash. Do you mind if I pay you next week - or early next month? And don't forget to add on what I still owe you from the last time"

 WASHINGTON R - The gen erals in South Vict Nam solved one set of problems when they threw out President Ngo Dinh Diem and his troublesome brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, both of whom were killed. But there are others.
 The brothers, after nine years in power, never solved them. Now it's the turn of the generals who are running the country Will they be able to:
 Steer it in a democratic dircc- ton? Diem didn't His was a dic- tatorship. Wage successful war against the Communists? Diem didn't. Avoid conflicts, intrigues, Jealousies, explosions? Diem didn't.
 Will the generals, through re- forms and programs of benefit, be able to give the masses of Viet Nam a reason for caring who wins? Diem didn't. The mass of the IF million VietnameSe live in enor- nous and primitive poverty.
 Buddhists make up 70 per cent of the population. Roman Catholics 10 per cent. Catholic Diem re- pressed the BuddhistS. Will the Buddhists try to retaliate against Catholics now for what Diem did? It's a haunting possibility.
 Diem began his repressions in May when his government troops, firing on Buddhist demonstra- tion in Hue, killed nine people, The Buddhists had been complain ing that Diem was discriminating against them.
 This could not be blamed on the Catholic Church. In the tor tured and gory months that fol lowed the May shootings, Pope Paul VI expressed apprehension and anguish" over the situation.
 But the shootings brought the Buddhists' complaints to a head. They demanded improved social and economic status.
 An then, as if he had listened to a voice coming to him over more than 40 years, a 73-year- old Buddhist priest, Quang Due, drenched in gasoline, lit match and burned himself to death in protest against Diem's policies.
 In England 400 years ago, Catho- lie Queen Mary set out to repress the Protestants. One of their lead CTS, Bishop Hugh Latimer, was condemned to death by burning at the stake
 AS he walked to his death at Ox- ford in 1855 he said ''We shall this day light such candle by Gods grace, as shall never be put out '' It wasn't. When the Protestants regained power, they persecuted the Catholics.
 The burning monk in Viet Nam shocked the world, pointed up for all to see as perhaps nothing else could the dilemma of the Budd- hists, and encouraged other Budd- hlstS to sacrifice themselves, too
 Seven of them made candles of themselves before the generals
