WEATHER SYNOPSIS AND GENERAL
This morning there is a well de
fined area of low pressure over
the Alaska Gulf region and cen
♦tered approximately 200 miles
south of Anchorage, this low has
been in that region for several
days and has apparently become
stagnated; pressure is very high
over northern and western Alas
ka.
A steep pressure gradient ex
ists therefore we can expect a
continuation of the strong sur
face winds from the north and
northeast for approximately an
other 15 to 20 hours.
Variable cloudiness exists over
Alaska mostly due to local condi
tions however there are some
cloud sheets and scattered light
precipitation over the extreme
east and southeast portions result
ing from the area of low pres
sure.
Temperatures are generally
well below normal through out
the field of observation.
The present condition of pres
sure distribution and atmospher
ic circulation is favorable for
continued fair and colder for the
next 24 to 36 hours.

expected to open April 15, or,
shortly thereafter it was an

Lieutenant Rankin urged that
all carpenters in the vicinity no

able at that date. Nearly all car
penters have already registered

Paul Wilson’s
Experiences
In The Arctic
(Contributed)
W. Paul Wilson, farthest north
U. S. C ensus Enumerator, recent
ly returned from Pt. Barrow af
ter spending nearly two months
counting the noses of the whites
and the Eskimos for the Federal
Decennial Census. This trip cov
ered approximately 2,000 miles
of travel. The three modes of
transportation used were the dog
team, the airplane, and walking
afoot. .
Mr. Wilson’s census area com
prised the territory between Pt.
Lay and Pt. Barrow, roughly de
signated as east from the Arctci
Ocean to 156 degrees longitude
west and from a few miles south
of 178 degrees latitude north, to
the farthermost tip of the United
States. This involved ‘mushing”
from Kotzebue to Pt. Barrow
along the coast and inland ac
ross the frozen tundra and "nig
ger heads" and up meandering
ice-loeked rivers. Travelling in
land and up such rivers as the
Meade, extreme temperatures
ranging from 60 to 70 degrees be
low zero were experienced. It
was on such occasions that his
kerosene froze, ic.vcles formed on
his nose and a crackle was heard
as his spit hit the blast of the
cold air. The use of a primus
stove was required inside the ig
loos to stimulate the circulation
in his lingers so that he could
move a pencil. Some of the Eski
mo homes had no heat other than
from the bodies of the individ
uals.
Evidently Mr. Wilson did not
; consider fhe chances of meeting
I wild beasts very hazardous, for
all the protection that he car
ried wih him were a jack knife,
a Harrison and Richison 4.10 pis
tol, and a moving picture cam
era. As proof of his hunting stor
ies he did actually return with
poiar bear steaks, walrus meat.
, mountain sheep and nearly a
thousand feet of 16 mm. movie
film.
On his trip up he carried with
him frozen fresh strawberries as
a gift to the people of Barrow.
He also assisted other organiza
tions by conveying letters and
messages. He returned to Nome
with Pilot John Cross of North
ern Cross, Inc. The trip look 24
| hours which included an over
night stay at Noatak, and stops
! at Kotzebue and Deering.
Since his return Mr. Wilson
has been called upon several
] times to lecture on his exper
iences. He has talked to the Al
jaska History Class of the Nome
(High School. On Thursday he
(.spoke to the entire student body
.giving in chronological order ev
ents of the entire trip. After his
talks students asked him many
questions. -A few of the high
igbts as reported by the Nome
High School students are: Al
I though there are no trees near
r around Nome, north of Kot
zbeue there are great areas of
, iwarf pines and spruce. Thes;
I gradually dwindle away till
j around Point Barrow the topo
| graphy is exteremely level with
I no vegetation of any sort appar
! ,'nt. Food was carried along on
i he trip for the men, but the
dog food was obtained along the
route. The dog d;et changed with
he different district. Around Kot
zebue fish was plentiful; at Pt.
Lay whale; Wainwright, seal:
and from Wainwright to Barrow |
walrus was the daily menu. Not
a great deal of wind was encount
ered on the trip.
Native condtions along the
route are very primitive. Many
natives still use the old stone j
blubber-burning lamps and have
as their sole food only frozen fish I
at this time of the year. In many
instances on arriving at an igloo
Mr. Wilson found ten or twelve
Eskimos all dressed in fur, hud
dled together. A blubber lamp
was their only source of heat and
the temperature of the room was
down to 30 degrees below zero.
In one instance he found the
hildren all lying down in their
deer skin sleeping bags. Upon in
quiry it was found that there
was no warm clothing available
" ir the children so they had to
spend all of the coldest days 1
their sleeping bags.
The students of the Alaska H s
•ry clas and their instructor Mr
Bernie Knudson state that they
tory class & their instructor Mr.
Wilson for his interesting and in
tructive talks at the Nome High
School.
