LIGHTS DISCOURAGE
NUDE BATHERS
PUEBLO, Colo., <JP) — Bright
‘ lights will keep nude bathers out
of Pueblo's city park lakes on
warm sumer nights, Park Com
imissioner Ray Talbot hopes. The
parks are for the public’s con
venience but nude bathing at
midnight can’t be interpreted as
a taxpayer’s convenience, Talbot
has ruled. The nudists were part
icularly bothersome last summer
and brought numerous com
plaints from clothes-wearing tax
payers.
ESKIMO FAMILY HEADS
EAST TO NEW YORK FAIR
When Robert Mayokok, Cape
j Prince of Wales Eskimo, sets up
i living quarters at the New York
j World Fair, it will be hard for
| him to make fair promoters un
derstand that an “igloo" is not
a house of ice and snow.
Mayokok, 36, full blooded Es
kimo who reads and writes as
well as most of us, sat in his
! room at the Gastineau Hotel, at
Juneau recently and confessed
his worry at seeing the Outside
again.
The husky Arctic dweller took
a group of reindeer to New York
for the Lomen Brothers on a
"Santa Claus" order 13 years ago.
He has not been Outside but
that one time and his family (one
smiling wife and four children)
have never been awray from
home.
“I didn't get very well acquaint j
ed Outside,” Mayokok said with 1
a sad smile. “I’m out of place j
here. It will be worse Outside.”
Mayokok learned to read and
write at a Government school at
Cape Prince of Wales and teach
es ivory carving. He doesn’t
know just how it is he and his
family happen to be going to the
fair, but he believes it was Al
fred Lomen’s suggestion to ex
plorer Dave Irwin, who is spon
soring them.
He doesn’t know what is ex
pected of him and he doesn’t
know exactly how he’ll get to
New York, but feels sure he will !
be met at the boat in Seattle.
The real problem that is wor- !
rying Mayokok is his children’s i
diet.
Mayokok himself has occas- ,
sionally had steady diets of our j
’civilized” foods. He doesn’t find i
it any too good, nor does he find
it satisfying.
"It’s them I’m worried about,”
Mayokok said, pointing to his
dark little Bert, 6, Gladys, 4,
Thornton, 2, and Everett, tod
dling in bal?y clothes at 9 months
"They’re accustomed to seal meat
and reindeer.”
In the lobby of the Gastineau
| wearing the short mukluks (his
best) with which he boarded a
plane for Fairbanks and Juneau
at Cape Prince of Wales, Mayo
kok wondered again at "what
they’ll expect us to do.”
The "igloo” question will pro
bably come up. he feels, but
when he tells them what an “ig
loo” really is, there will be dis
appointments.
"An igloo” Mayokok explain
ed, choosing the unfamiliar Eng
lish words carefully, "is made of
driftwood and sod.”
NORWAY’S FIRST PARK
Norway may soon have its first
national park.
Frits W. Petterson, Norwegian
naturalist and journalist, reports
that his country is about to pass
a law by which a certain tract
of a typical mountain region
will become a national park.
"America gave the world the
idea,” wrote Petterson.
