$1,000 Contributed to
University Film Circuit
To Help Educate Natives
COLLEGE—Col. M. R. Marston
of Spenard, Alaska, last week con
tributed $1,000 to the University
of Alaska Educational Film Cir
cuit.
The former commander of the
Alaska Territorial Guard during
World War II informed Dr. Ernest
N. Patty, university president,
that he gave the money “because
I love the Eskimo people and I
want to help them. Education and
these films will do it.”
. The films cover a wide range
of subjects and are available to
organizations throughout the ter
ritory. The only expense to the
users is postage. Various sponsors
pay the rental costs.
Organizations desiring to use
the films should write to P.O. Box
2079, Anchorage.
“This gift is one more evidence
of your deep interest in Alaskans,”
Dr. Patty told Col. Marston. “You
can be assured that your contrib
ution will enable us to help carry
education to the far reaches of the
territory.”

Biggest Geological
Exploration of
North Canada Ends
OTTAWA, (/P>—The biggest geo
logical exploration ever under
taken in Canada’s northernmost
ar&tic archipelago has just been;
completed.
A 30-man team headed by 11
federal geologists traveled thru
the Queen Elizabeth Islands by
helicopter, in the worst arctic
weather in years, to draw in the
main features of the area’s physi
cal structure.
The survey, known as Opera
tion Franklin, covered a 100,000
square-mile area. Bad weather
prevented the party from reaching
20,000 more square miles.
“We have established the es
sential major geological elements
of the region,” Dr. Y. O. Fortier,
head of the expedition, said in an
interview Saturday.
Three tons of specimens and
samples were brought back.
The survey was not intended to
search out mineral deposits. But
its geologists found many coal
seams, up to 35 miles wide, and
gypsum deposits which Dr. For
tier said cover hundreds of square
miles. He spoke cautiously about
the likelihood of the islands hold
ing any great reserves of petro
leum.
