Canadian Eskimo Stone Carvings
The Eskimos living on the rugged coast
of the Canadian Arctic, like tl^e Eskimos
of the Alaskan coast, have found inspiration
in producing a meaningful art.
Whereas the Alaskan Eskimo used the ivory
of the walrus, and whalebone,
the Canadian Eskimo uses stone.
Out of the lifeless rock they have created
lively forms depicting, not only human beings
and animals, but also imagined creatures
seen only in their dreams.

Owen states, garden plot will be

Owen states that alternate meth

the Springs from the bridge. Or,
he states, air- transportation can

Bartlett Thaws To
Acceptance of AEC
Harbor Blast Plan
WASHINGTON, UFI — New con
ferences with an Atomic Energy
Commission spokesman have
eased the opposition of Senator
Bob Bartlett to a plan to blast
out a harbor in Alaska with nu
clear explosions.
The proposed harbor blast, des
ignated Operation Chariot, is
under study as a means of demon
strating the peaceful uses of
nuclear energy.
Bartlett has protested that the -
more than one million acres which
AEC has asked be &t aside in
Alaska for the project is excessive
and has asked Department of the
Interior officials to scan the re
quest closely to see that it is
warranted.
After meeting Monday with
Roger Ernst, Assistant Secretary
of Interior, and John Keto, Assist
ant Director of AEC’s Division of
Military Application, Bartlett said
AEC will re-evaluate its land re
quirements. He said there was in
dication the request will be scaled
down.
He added, however, that the
two department representatives
“made out a pretty good case.”
As a result, he said he did not feel
that he would be inclined person
ally to oppose the project.
He said he was told the land set
aside for the project would be
needed by AEC up to two or three
years.
Bartlett said the actual blast
will be preceded by extensive sci
entific studies which in themselves
would be worthwhile.
