Canadian Eskimo Stone Carvings
The Eskimos living on the rugged coast
of the Canadian Arctic, like the 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.
An exhibit of their work is now on display

Gets ‘Greatest Ride’
In Air Force Saber Jet
GEORGE AIR FORCE BASE,
■Calif., [ff) — A 71-year-old great
grandmother who is afraid to
drive a car, has broken the sound
barrier — twice.
Mrs. Zaddie Bunker climbed out
of an F-100F Super Sabre jet Sat
urday and announced “It was the
greatest ride I ever had in my
life.” /
The plane, named “Zaddie’s
Rockin’ Chair,” had just flown
nearly 800 miles an hour in level
flight at 36,000 feet. Then in a
dive from 40,000 to 15,000 feet, it
exceeded the speed of sound again.
“I didn’t even realize it,” said
Mrs. Bunker, of Palm Springs,
Calif. ‘Tip ready to go again
right now.”
The plane was piloted by Lt.
Col. Robinson Risner, 34, Okla
homa City, as part of an Armed
Forces Day celebration

l.ke the roar of a jet — would
cause mother mink to eat their
young.
