To CPL. Allen Merritt.
Hello, Merritt:- Here’s hopin’
you're somewhat stationed neai
Nome or God Only knows
when this will iraeh you - pei
chance it should.
But getting to the point, the I
"infamous’' (NOME NUGGET',
fell into my mite when 1 was held
up at Pt Lay a few days ago and
my attention was called to your
Lite Different In Alaska" by a
cool snicker from a native friend
readind over my shoulder, 'See:
Nugget; Dec. 24. 1943-' Well,
needless to say. your article fell
criticism. It began at first rather
light but as 1 had more or less
. chimed in with this native, in
cidentlv born on the Diomedes
He had lived for some time in
Nome previous to his move north,
he felt he had a ctfar field and
really began to lay it on. I be
lieve we know how such natives
can be. Well, being a lover of
fairness - shall we put it - l soon
found myself taking your side and
as things ended up We agreed you
had the right slant on the soldier
influenced town of Nome. . . .but
both agreed you were a bit rash
in saying Deering was typical of
the villages Jjotween Nome and
Barrow!
Com’ on now. Corp 'ol boy. ask
somebody that’s been up here!
You’ll find a lot of them in Nome,
many bearing fame for certain
deeds done in the Arctic. I'll
repeat that: “in the Arctic" be
cause to the natives up here. Nome
is considered “South" as we might
Heavens knows you're right
about ridin' in airplanes; consid
erably less above the circle, but
that’s the way they leave their
villages for the army.
Let me quote: “Don’t believe it
' when you’re told that Eskimos
spend most of their time paddling
in a kayak hunting whales, track
ing down polar bears, (take note
of that) , or sharpening harpoons
for a walrus hunt.” unquote. All
I can say is get out of Nome and
you'll be disillusioned again! -
this time more to your previous
imagination believe me.
Again I quote: “Only those of
them (ouch) who have mingled
with outsiders have ever heard
of an ice igloo,” Come to Barrow!
Quote: “The ivory work is done
with tools you’ll find in any hard
ware store backhome - steel drills
, etc. etc. ” Well it looks like
you got meonthatone; but I give
it to you only because your case
is in the majority. Yep, natives
gettin’ civilized; and what gets me
is when some of these dames
start rubbin’ on the lipstick!
1
Seriously, pal, your article is
too much near the truth! But
what I really want to say is when |
(in the last few years) it has come !
to typical Alaska, the definition I
thereof I mean, one has to omit'
such places as Fairbanks, Juneau,
Anchorage, and now Nome, to get
the “real’’ Alaskan outlook; and
to include these - well, you get
Alaska, I guess, but you ruin it,
in this particular sense, of course.
But - and I feci sefe in saying -
the only part of Alaska that comes
nearer to remaining the same and '
the part most likely to remain j
thus after we’ve chewed up Tojo
for dog-meat, is - “The land above
the circle."
In your last paragraph you've
written something that goes like, j
“Dances in costume to the beat of
a tom-tom are not the style and
the young people prefer a modern
dance band "
Well, sorry to disappoint you
ol’ man but - ya better come'to
Barrow!!
And with admiration to your
style of writing, I remain
Your honored critic,1
