Dream-Hungry
Nome With His Art
Want to get eight hours sleep in
five minutes? Want to go on a
Salmon Lake fishing safari and
catch a whopping prize winner,
without leaving your seat? Want
to smooch with Elvis (for the
girls) or Marilyn (for the boys),
and drink a beer and row a boat
or be the schol principal, or a
seven-year-old, or lose your mem
ory? Your big chance comes to
night in the second performance
of Dr. Kit’s amazing demonstra
tion of hypnotism at the school

Hundreds were thrilled and mys

threat to electrify the audience
with his feats.

At times it rs hilarious. In
spots it holds you breathless. But
all who have seen it agree, it’s
well worth the admission price.

By ALAN COURTRIGHT
Local Fish and Game biologists
are starting an investigation to de
termine whether there are any
caribou on the Seward Peninsula.
They also want to find out how
much difference there is between
caribou and reindeer, and how j
many federal reindeer are run- j
ning around in the area.
.When reindeer were first in- [
troduced in this area around the !
turn of the century, there was j
probably a noticeable difference
between the imports and the na
tive caribou — enough difference,
at least, to enable a conscientious
hunter to tell which was which.
Reindeer and caribou interbreed,
however (they were sometimes
crossed purposely to “improve the
breed” of reindeer, and many,
perhaps thousands, of reindeer ran
off with passing caribou herds),
and the orignally squatter, short
er-legged reindeer may look just
like caribou today, at least in some
areas.
The biologists plan to take
measurements from as many ani
mals as possible, not only from
local animals but in other areas
as well. They will also make |
aerial surveys on the peninsula to j
determine numbers of unattended ]
animals and for other purposes; in |
the spring, observations of calving |
will be conducted, since “pure” i
reindeer are known to give birth
earlier in the year than caribou.
Any local hunters who bring
unskinned animals to, Nome can
help the biologists out by dropping
around to the Fish and Game De
partment office to have their
caribou measured.
77 ISLANDERS TRANSPORTED
TO WINTER QUARTERS ON
BIA SHIP NORTH STAR
The local office of the Bureau
of Indian Affairs released the
figures for King Island and Dio
mede Island Eskimos who re
turned to their island homes last
Saturday. There were 60 people
for King Island — this compared
with the 98 who wintered on the
island last year. The North Star
carried 17 people for Diomede.
Most of the Diomede Islanders
spent the summer along the coast
— at Kotzebue, Teller and Wales
— and return to the island in
their own skin boats.
Change in Methodist Meeting
