GAMBELL NEWS LETTER
By CLARENCE IRRIGOO
Several women and young la
dies moved to Fairbanks early
this summer looking for that extra
dollar not available in Gam'bell.
It cost the Relocation Office for
this area hundreds of dollars, pos
sibly thousands, to move these!
people from their homes via air
plane transportation. Three of
these women returned home this
month. Their home sweet- home
was more dearer than that coveted
dollar they went after,
There were two other families
which were relocated to the states,
one to Oakland, Calif., and the
other to Chicago, Illinois. The Chi
cago visitor returned this month
after staying there about a month.
They reported that work was
available with fairly good wages,
but the wife did not fit with the
life and surroundings of that ‘out
side’ world. At one time one of
their children went astray and
had to searched by the police.
The second that moved to Cali
fornia is still there. Chances are !
he might stay until as long as he >
can work. It is learned that they j
are working in the cannery with
good wages. They have 5 children. ‘
They come from Savoonga, Alaska !
originally and had just moved to
Gambell a year earlier where he;
can fly to Nome or other places
to find work. They are Mary and
Lewis Immingans. Good luck to
you, Mr. Immingan
There are others who applied to ;
move from Gambell and are in the
waiting list. Next family notified
to pack up will leave late in Jan
uary 1959, enroute to Oakland.
This is important — If you are
planning to relocate alone or with
your family, remember it is the j
money from your Government you j
are going to spend. Plan wisely,
and think twice.
More About Moving
Yes, they moved at last. New
living quarters of the new Pres
byterian Church was completed
this fall and the French’s had
moved in already. With a coat of,
paint or two in the rooms possibly |
next summer, the place will look
like those in the ‘King’s Palace.’ i
I’m kidding.
Instructions on how to reach the j
occupants of the new manse: En- j
ter through the Church door. Keep |
on opening other doors as you pro- !
ceed. On the 4th door you will see
a big sign “KNOCK.” This is
where you enter into the long
awaited spacious manse.
Thanksgiving Feast or Fast
There’s no telling but we were !
nead fasting this Thanksgiving
Day due to lack of funds to pur- |
chase groceries. To make it worse, j
there was not reindeer meat which
was always used in place of tur
key. But thank God there was wal
rus meat available in large quan
tities. Herds of walrus came j
around from the north just in |
time we were going to need the i
meat. Also little money was raised |
to buy some groceries from the!
local store. And on Thanksgiving j
Evening, we had a big feast in |
the new Church sanctuary and I
Sunday School room which ad
joins it. People in family groups 1
sat on the floors to eat. The school |
teacher and his wife and the.
French’s all joined with the vil

lage dinner. Believe me — the
walrus stew dinner was extra
good, and the whole menu was
perfect. That Chef was really a
good cook! The evening was spent
in Church Services and movies.
During the Church service First
Thanksgiving Day observed in
Cambell was told by one Church
Elder. We learned that it was the
W. F. Doty, Presbyterian Mission
ary and a school teacher back in
1898-1899 who first introduced
this day of feast and worship. For
59 years these people have not
missed a single Thanksgiving Din
ner and worship until this fall
when we “nearly fasted” instead
of feasting. <
Miscellaneous
Village Light Plant was idle for
1 month and over after running
for almost 1 year. Water in the
radiator was not drained one night
in freezing weather last October.
The water pump was cracked and
damaged, also the Starter engine
block was cracked and damaged.
We were fortunate to have some
spares in the area, which were
soon put into use. And now the
plant is operating once again with
different people to care for it, and
one man to keep the Book.
