Tungik Club
Makes Progress
As Pounds Melt
The local Tungik Club has an
nounced that a total of 22 pounds
and 6 ounces of—er—avoirdupois
has been shed in the first week
of the club’s existence.
The weight losers determined
at their weighing-in before the
meeting yesterday that that was
how much poundage they had
lost since their first meeting.
The women founders have dis
covered a keen interest among
the local citizenry in the club’s
aim: to reduce and stay reduced, j
Not only women but a number of
men have indicated a desire to!
join their ranks.
The following sample menus
furnished by the Tungik Club
are not, i't is understood, what the
members are adhering to, but
show to what lengths a really de
termined weight loser might go:
Thursday. Breakfast: Shredded
egg shell skins. Lunch: Bellybut
ton from a navel orange. Dinner:,
2 eyes from Irish potato (diced’.
Friday. Breakfast: 2 lobster an
tennae. Lunch: 1 guppy fin. Din
ner: Jellyfish vertebras.
Mrs. Carrie McLain
Honored by Nomeites
At Dinner in Juneau
JUNEAU—Present and former
residents of Nome were gathered
at a dinner given recently by Mrs.
Mildred Hermann in honor of
Mrs. Carrie McLain, a visitor in
Juneau from the Seward Penin
sula City.
Mrs. McLain arrived in Juneau
the same day. She recently re
tired from the position of Nome
City clerk, a post she has held
for many years, and is going out
side for an extended visit. She
plans a two-day visit in Juneau.
Mrs. McLain first went to Nome
with her parents when she was
a young child, grew up, married
and reared a family there. She in
tends to return, she says, but “not
until I’ve had a long visit outside.”
Guests at Mrs. Hermann’s din
ner for Mrs. McLain were Mrs.
Russell Hermann, daughter-in-law
of the hostess whose husband is
U.S. attorney at Nome; and Miss
Mildred Maynard and Mrs. Karl
Dewey, formerly of the northern
city.
An hour’s wages in Alaska will
now buy more than three times as
much fresh milk as 10 years ago.
Alpine Survivor
Lived Three Days
Without Food
INTERLAKEN, Switzerland, (/W
—Claudio Corti, the only one of
| four alpinists who survived a
climb up Eiger Mountain, said
yesterday he had been without
food for three days before he was
rescued.
Part of Corti’s feet were frozen
and his face and hands were cut
but his condition was otherwise
good.
He was quoted as saying his
Italian companion, Stefano Lon
ghi, asked him to continue the
climb alone to get help after
Longhi had slipped 120 feet down
and remained suspended in the
ropes.
The two Germans who climbed
the north wall at the same time
shared their food with him. But,
Corti related, the Gerrrtans’ ruck
sack slipped from the ledge on
which he was encamped Thurs
day, leaving him without food.
The search for the two Ger
mans who continued the ascent
| was abandoned yesterday. They
are presumed dead. Longhi’s body
is hanging cn the wall, face down
and covered by snow.
Mountain guides explained that
under Swiss federal law bodies
lost in the mountains need not be
recovered if the recovery involves
! the risk of other lives.
An exception to this is if the
body can be clearly seen by tele
scope and therefore will have to
be removed eventually.
If the rope should hold for a
considerable period, the possibil
ity is being considered here to
cut it by shooting with a Swiss
army howitzer, informed sources
said.
