I
TUNDRA
•. ■
By AUDREY HENDERSON
—
I
Walking down Front Street this
morning, I noticed a group of
Eskimo women with small chil
dren. It has always been a re
markable mystery to me as to
how hte Eskimo children are able
I to crawl underneath their moth
er’s parka through all the vari
ous linings, petticoats and “what
nots" and come out on top. Re
markable too. has been the par
tial adoption by the Eskimos of
the white man’s clothing, and
, too. the acceptance by the white
I man of some of the Eskimo ap
parel. Practically one-half ‘to
two-thirds of the Eskimo cloth
, ing has been introduced by the
j white man.
In the summer as we all haye
[often seen, particularly here in
■ Nome, the Eskimo has a “white
I man" appearance. In a few
1 rare cases mukluks or parkas are
worn in the summer. The sum
mer parkas usually have a bril
: liant gingham covering .
In the winter the outer cloth*
j ing of the Eskimo is predomi
nantly arctic. The rigid climate
makes it necessary that the' Es
; kimo wear fur parkas, grass or
deerskin socks, and mukluks.
And here the white man dons
| parkas and mukluks and for all
the world looks like an Eskimo.
So if you give forth with one of
the special Nome “whistles”
don’t be surprised if you get a
sock on the chin .instead of a
cheery “hello”.
The very fact that most of un- j
derclothing of the Eskimo has
been adopted from the white
man, makes a considerable dif
ference in the hygiene and clean- !
liness of the race as a whole. It j
hasn't been so many years ago
that it was a common thing to
see the Eskimo using ill-smelling
fur underwear, and even undei**
wear made of skin and feathers I
of arctic birds. j
Western clothing Is purchased
usually in the barter of furs. The
choice skins are kept by the Es
kimo family and a great deal of
pride is shown by the Eskimo
women in her needle and fur
work. The Laplanders who came
with the reindeer herds to Alas- ;
ka many years ago, introduced j
the Lap boot, a turned-up-toed
fur boot. The Lap boot was es
pecially used in Norway and
Sweden for skiing.
One can imagine the great dif
ference in wear and comfort to
the Eskimo when you take the in
stance of the shoe pack, rubber
boots and raincoats compared
to gut parkas and water muk
luks of the past. The rainy wea
ther and muddy oozy tundra
makes it necessary that the Es
kimo take great care of his
health. Such is the advent of the |
clothing of the white man. I’d
still like to know how a child is
able to crawl through all the fur
linings, petticoats, and “what- '
nots", and come out on top.

The davenport in the Wal-J
lace Hotel certainly moves
around these days . . One
never knows whether it’s go
ing to be upstairs or down in
the basement . . . Irma Tay
lor is now at the Curio Shop
... By the way, what were
those little pieces of yellow
paper that Ed Smlmons had
hanging out of his back poc
ket? . . . telegrams . . . could
be . . . Denna Brighton . . .
necomer ... can’t find a room
or a house . . . “won’t you
help her? . . . Why are the
children of Nome out on the
streets so late at night . . .
Children must have lots of
sleep and rest to get good
grades in school ... A ccffee
royal is when you drop eight
cups of coffee on the floor ....
A church survey is being con
ducted in Nome . . .

Customer: “Do your eyes
bother you?”
Waitress: “No, of course not.”
Customer: “Well, they certain
ly bother me.”
. . . Here we are . . . back on
the subject of eyes again.

The great and famous Ena
Ooktukaluk, shaman of the
Eskimos says: “Once upon a
I
time there was an Eskimo
who stayed up ail night on
his wedding night because
his mama told him that it
would be the most wonder
ful night he ever saw.”

i ROSS RECOMMENDS
. HIGHER PRICE FOR
| REINDEER MEAT
| Stanley C. Ross, regional price j
price executive for OPA from i
Washington, D. C., upon his ar- J
rival in Fairbanks from Nome,:
stated recently that he has rec-!
ommended a slight increase in the 1
1 price of reindeer meat. The in- i
crease, if approved in Washing- |
ton, will not affect the retail •
price. Its benefits will go to '
1 the Eskimos.
Ross is making but a short stay ;
in Fairbanks and is leaving this ;
week-end for Anchorage, Sew- j
ard, Juneau and Ketchikan.—!
