he is now stationed:
“This is wonderful country up
here—not the “far frozen north”
you’d think it would be up above
the Arctic Circle. Had our first
snow yesterday, about three inch
es. The Koyokuk River is still
running, tho it has lots of ice in it,
but all the lakes are frozen.
“Mr. and Mrs. Herb Crisler of
Walt Disney Studios were thru
here last week with five wolf
pups they’ve raised in captivity
and are taking to the States for
a movie.
“Incidently, Gloria Louise Wey
er was born Sept. 23 in St. Jo
seph’s Hospital, Fairbanks. Moth
er and child doing fine, father
expected to' recover shortly.
