Returns
From Tour
HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN
DEPARTMENT — Chaplain Jos
eph M. Appellate, former pastor
of a Los Angeles church (Figueroa
Blvd., Christian Church' and now
head of army chaplains in Alaska,
has just returned from one of the
most extensive tours of far north
ern Alaska ever made by a chap
lain. He reports spiritual con
ditions above the Arctic Circle as
excellent.
The tour started during the
Christmas holidays when the
chaplain visited isolated army out
posts to deliver gifts and food to
soldiers who rarely see anyone,
not even an Eskimo.
Following a landing on the
frozen Bering Sea in a bush pi
lot's plane, Chaplain Appelgate
spent Christmas day with the
troops at Nome. He delivered a
prayer in a messhall, asking that
the next Christmas would be at
home lor the men, many of whom
have been there two years and
more.
Later, flying north, he was
weathered in for several days with
an Alaska Communication System
sergeant and his native wife. “This
life is all right, I guess,” the ser
geant told him—"if you’ve got your
wife with you.”
Still flying north, the chaplain
arrived at Point Hope, more than
a hundred miles above the Arctic
Circle, and inspected the lamous
"Buried City”, a recently discov
ered 0940) stone age Eskimo vil
lage which has indications of cul
ture pre-dating any known cul
ture on this continent.
The natives living there today,
he found, have one funeral a year,
on the 4th of July. The dead are
buried in a snow bank the rest
of the year and removed for
ground burial on the 4th.
He visited one elderly Eskimo
and his family who lived in a sod
igloo. There were 13 children liv
ing in the one small room, and
the temperature inside was -30 de
grees. The chaplain was wonder
ing how the children stood such

cold when one of the smallest chil
dren peeped out from underneath
his mother's parka. That was
me way of keeping warm'
The Christian religion has been
longer established among the na
tives of Alaska than most people
realize, Chaplain Appelgate ‘ay.
He told of Mr. and Mrs. Sanns.
now over 80 years old, who came
to Kotzebue over 50 years ago a no j
established the first Quaker
church in Alaska. Today, a lar- j
ger number of natives at Kotze- '
bue are Quakers, the rest Cath- j
olics. All of them attend church
several times a week.
“Life in this part of the world
is not nearly so fantastic as peo
ple think," the chaplain claimed.
“At Unalakleet, there is a Swed
ish mission. They are devout
Lutherans, and in spite of eight
months of deep snow a year. I
enjoyed eating fresh garden veg
etables they had raised in the
summer and buried in their ‘cold
storage cellars.”
The U. S. soldiers stationed in
the Far North really turn out for
church, the chaplain found. “Be
ing so cut off from most diversions
and the kind of social life to which
they have been accustomed has
caused the soldiers to seek re
ligious comfort and guidance,” the
' chaplain said. j
Outside of the violent storms
he flew arovind in, Chaplain Ap
pelgate had only one near-mishap
on the trip. At Nulato, east of
Nome, he arrived just in time to
witness the annual dog race. The
chaplain was standing near the
starting point, on the frozen Yukon
river, as the sourdoughs and Alas
kan Indians were striving to get
the milling dogs lined up, when
one of the teams broke loose and
lunged directly at the chaplain.
“Dogs were all over me,” the
chaplain said, shivering a little,
‘‘and later I was told if I had lost
t ‘
my balance and gone down, • I
, would have been spoken of in the
j past tense today. Often these dogs
are so vicious they will tear a
man to pieces,”
i Chaplain Appelgate has been in
! service in Alaska for almost two
i
years now. He helped pioneer a
; post on the wind-blasted tundra
of the Alaskan peninsula just a

month alter the Japanese attach
ed Dutch Harbor. At this time,
he departed from his chaplain's
duties freqently to operate winch
es. tractors, bulldozers and other
engineering equipment during the
days of building defenses against
the Japs.
Early last year, he was made a
member of the staff of Lt. Gen.
'
Simon Bolivar Eucaner, Jr., with;
rank of major.
Chaplain Appelgate hopes to be
able to get home to his family
and congregation for a visit soon.
"I have so very much to tell
them,” he said.
