Kids* Aid Raising
i Barbe The Fawn
Barbe, a 2Vi-month-old female
reindeer fawn, which is housed
by the Polaris Hotel and being
cared for by Cheryl and Larry
Martin, children of the owner
of the Hotel, is becoming very
popular with all the children of
the town.
Barbe’s diet consists of rein
deer moss, loves it; willow leaves,
willow branches, grass, lettuce,
cabbage, and other raw vege
tables. But — she must not be
given candy, gum and other
things that the boys and girls
who come to admire her would
like to share with her.
Tom Martin says that Barbe
belongs to Siegfried Aukongak,
who owns the Golovin reindeer
herd, and that she will be al
lowed to grow up here if the
children will cooperate and not
give her food which will make
her sick or poke at her through
the fence with sticks.
Martin said if she is mistreated
he will have to send her back
to Golovin — but if the children
cooperate by gathering grass, |
reindeer moss and other things
good for a reindeer to eat, it
will be raised in the pen with
Martin’s red setter Irish, for com
pany and she will some day be
a pet for all to enjoy.
The children can show their
appreciation by gathering all the
reindeer moss they can find and
brining it to the Polaris for win
ter storage.
Kenneth Morgan, brother of
Stan Morgan, arrived Saturday
for a two-week visit here from
