bond and Saul Glassman, 45, and

Gambell News
By Clarence Irrigoo
Yes, the village of Gambell was
prepared for the arrival of Brad
Phillips tour in July, but the
tourists did not show up. Anyway,
Gambell is still cleaning up.
What’s left by the "Operation
Gambell” last summer is being
completed this summer. With the
only caterpillar tractor D2, an
other 10O or more empty oil
drums filled with debris in and
around the village is dumped into
the sea coast.
Good, clear, cold drinking water
is pumped from a driven well be
hind the village. This same water
was showing a little color last
summer, now it is clear as a
brook from the hillside. There are
three water tanks in the village
now. These are not piped from
the well, but they are filled when
empty.
Hunting and Fishing
It looks like non-Americans are
hunting and fishing more than
ever this summer. Anything from
buoys and pieces of lumber and
hooks are found washed ashore
with Russian and Japanese mark
ings on them. Several unidenti
fied vessels have been sighted off
Gambell in July and August of
this summer.
We have not seen any helicop
ters landing on Lake Troutman,
The repbrt which was said to have
been flashed through Wien Air
lines of Nome was denied here.
Even Winnie James of Wien Air
lines in Gambell denied giving
this kind of message. Somebody
is trying to scare the Alaskans
away through false reports.
The Weather
Old Bering Sea Eskimo vtas a
weather man in his own capa
city. He can predict the storm and
winds at least one day before it
happens. He has no barometer
nor any device to work with. His
only instrument are his eyes. He
watches the skies above him, the
movements and kinds of clouds
are most important. The low hang
ing clouds mean very little to
him. He fixes his eyes on those
highest clouds moving toward the
surface winds. The stronger the
surface winds blow, the faster the
highest cirrus moves ioward the
wind. These old Eskimos now long
dead, believed the weather came
from the south. Now, they may
be wrong — or, they may be
right.
Possibly due to the lack of daily
weather information from this
side of the Bering Sea, the ma
rine and weather forecast heard
over KICY every morning, sel
dom comes our way. The weather
we already went through is re
ported in Nome two or three days
later. This news report about the
weather is not criticizing the
Weather Bureau, but is put here
so they will know a little more
about our weather at this end of
the world. Perhaps a permanent
weather station here would be ad
visable.
A human being’s worth is on
the increase because the chemi
cals in your body are now worth
about 98 cents, whereas they used
to be worth 87 cents.
American Motors - UAW
Reach Agreement on
Profit Sharing Contract
DETROIT —American Motors
Corp. and the United Auto
Workers Union reached agreement
in principle Saturday on a new

The new agreement included:
A historic progress-sharing plan

ployes in AMC stock already au
thorized.
“Voting rights for such stock
are to be permanently vested in
trustees selected by the company’s
board of directors.”
Continuation of the annual im
provement factor wage increase of
6 per cent or 2Vfe per cent of base
wages for each year of a three
year contract.
Continuation of the present
cost-of-living wage formula with
12 cents of the 17 cents “float
factored into base wage rates.”
Transfer of $3 million surplus
from the joint insurance fund to
the newly created progress-sharing
fund.
Persistent Salmon
Can Smell a Fisherman
A Mile Upstream
HONOLULU UFI — The persis
tent salmon has a nose so sensi
tive he can smell a fisherman —
or any enemy — a mile upstream,
says Canadian marine biologist J.
R. Brett.
The scent of a human, bear,
seal or seal lion in the waters up
stream will stop a school of sal
mon — but not for long, Brett
told scientists at the 10th Pacific
Science Congress.
Stir a cup of water with your
finger, toss it into a stream and
salmon swimming there will stop,
he said. Brett added they can
pick up the scent even when it
is diluted to one part per 80
billion parts of water.
However, he said, the salmon
is determined to reach its mating
grounds and will “swim right
under a bear’s legs, after a brief
stop to analyze the situation.”
Brett said young salmon are
born with the ability to use the
sky as a compass. They can find
their way to wherever they want
to go. “How they know where
they are when they start is the
big question,” he said.
