Reindeer Herds of the
Arctic Circle Area
Welcome Spring
Plagued by wolves and
heavily crusted snow, the
reindeer herds north of
Kotzebue Sound and Esch
oltz Bay have survived a
long hard winter with only
slight losses and will go in
to the fawning season in
good condition. Credit for
the successful “wintering”
of the herds must go to the
Native herders of Buck
land, Selawik, Escholtz
Bay, Kivalina, Noatak and
Point Hope, who have car
ried out continuous night
and-day herding programs.
Most of the open country
which normally serves as
the winter-grazing areas,
• was under a heavy blanket
of snow and ice early in
December. Herders were
forced to move their herds
and tent camps frequently
along wind-swept ridges
and patches of timber,
where lichens were more
available but less abund
ant. Constant vigilance
was required of the herd
ers during the long winter
nights to ward off attacks
on their herds by wolves.
Throughout this entire
area wolves are almost as
plentiful as during the
worst period of 1935-1938.
but losses to them from
these well managed herds
have been negligible.
Natives begin to realize
'the importance to them of
reindeer as a source of food
and cothing, during and af
, ter this war, and those who
have suffered losses to
their herds because of in
difference and neglect now
i fulv realize that this valu
able resource can be saved
only by constant care and
■ attention.

NO RATIONING OF
SUGAR IN ALASKA
FOR THE PRESENT
The Nome Nugget has
received the following let
ter from E. L. Bartlett, Act
ing Governor of Alaska:
“As you know, sugar ra
tioning is just around the
corner in the states, if it
has not already been insti
tuted there.
The Office of Price Ad
ministration in Washing-;
ton had contemplated ap
plying the sugar rationing I
program to Alaska at the
same time but a decision
has now been reached that
the program will be con
fined to continental United
States for the time being.
Therefore there will be no
rationing of sugar in Al
aska in the immediate fu
ture.”
