Whaley’s Films
Show Alaska to
TV Audiences
Frank Whaley, Alaskan bush
pilot and now mining man at
Rainbow, never rests. Unlike
many Alaskan mining men who
woTk long hours all summer and
relax all winter under California
skies, Frank has other activities.
After interviewing and talking
with hundreds of tourists who
came to this area during the past
two years, Whaley saw the need
of more education stateside for
the wonders of the far north.
He took thousands of feet o'f
film and hundreds of stills of the
more unusual things and during
the winter with the aid of experts
compiled and documented 13
quarter-hour television shows in
a series called “North of the Yu
kon.” Assisting him were Jim
Crichfield on the narration and
Murray De’Atley, Hollywood
technician.
With the cooperatoin of Wien
Airlines, the series has been com
pleted this month and will be re
leased so that millions of people
will see the wonders of the far
north.
One of this series was shown to
the Rotary Club last Thursday
and was entitled “An Easter Egg
Hunt in July.” It featured the
murre—a sea bird which hatches
its pointed eggs in cliff formations
of rock (the eggs are so shaped
they will not roll off the cliff).
Other fascinating titles include:
Strange Customs of the Eskimo,
Arctic Seal Hunt, Fishing Arctic
Style, Arctic Supercharged Sun
shine, Next Door to Siberia, Ti
gara—Ageless City of the Arctic,
Keepers of Santa’s Reindeer, No
mads of the North, Great Polar
Whale, Arctic Fashions, Arctic
Mardigras, Wings Over the Arctic.
