News Letter From
Howard Slwooko
On Nunivak Island
Mekoryuk, Alaska
Nunivak Island
To The Nome Nugget:
I just want to let you know how
we are down here at Nunivak Is.
I was so surprise this Nome Nug
get are still keep going on. We are
so glad. Hello from you folks up
there. It is nice to hear.
And we like it here, because we
can’t change the world just the
way we want. Since we moved
to Nunivak we find out lots of
things. For instance, halibut fish
ing and reindeer on the island
and musk ox. And some duck and
geese. Ptarmigan and trout in the
streams and salmon in the rivers.
This year I discover halibut fish
ing a lot. I make skate. Some
time I catch 11 halibuts a day,
that weight about 55 lbs. average.
And total of this year 34 Halbits.
This is the first time catch that
many.
Now the people are learn how
to catch. They use to spend a day
out on the water just to catch one.
Last spring I also catch some crab.
Now on the Land Animals—
Mink and foxes and Reds on the
Island also. And some vegetation
grow on the Island also like turnip
and carrots and potatoes and cab
bages and lettuce. And some wil
lows on* the Island also surround
ing.
Now that’s all the news from
the Island. Please correct my
writing before you put it in the
paper.

Safety Keeps
Holidays Happy
Each year fire turns Christmas,
the most joyful time of year, into
tragedy in hundreds of American
homes. Here are a few tips from
the National Board of Fire Under
writers.
Few people realize it, but the
ordinary Christmas tree is one of
the most flammable objects
known. Place the tree in the cool
est part of the house.
Do not, under any circumstanc
es, use cotton or paper for decora
tion on the tree or around it.
See that all the wires on tree
lights are in good condition and
not frayed.
Provide a switch some distance
from the tree for turning the elec
tric lights off and on. Do not plug
or unplug the lights beneath the
tree. Do not leave tree lights burn
ing when no one is in the house.
From time to time inspect the tree
to see whether any of the needles
have turned brown. If so, change
the location of the lights.
Keep plenty of ash trays about
the house during the holiday sea
son, as always.
After you have opened your
Christmas presents, remove all the
gift wrappings and packing mater
ials from your living room and
dispose of them.
Otto Van Sickle, original owner
of the Nevada Saloon in the early
days, remarried recently and
makes his home in Phoenix, Ariz.
Selma Lind, whose husband was
killed in a cave-in on a Center
Creek mine in the ’30s, has a new
home in San Francisco, Calif.
