Reindeer Care
Presents Problem
Juneau—J. S. Roof], supervisor
of reindeer for the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, reports that the
number of reindeer has decreased
in Alaska. Some herds, such as
those at Barrow, Escholtz and
Golovin, have shown a gain
through constant herding.
It continues to be difficult to
get the Eskimos, from the Seward
peninsula south, to do this type
of work becouse of higher wages
offered by defense activities and
because of less need in the south
ern regions for reindeer products.
Last summer a standard
Army cold storage plant and
butchering facilities were con
structed at Nunivak island
where there is a surplus of at
least 15,000 reindeer.
“If we can obtain transporta
tion for the frozen meat from
Nunivak during the next open
season,” Mr.Rood reports, “we
plan on shipping to buyers in
Alaska or the States We also
plan on producing at least 2000
fawn skins for winter garments.”
There is an acute demand
l for these garments, which are
produced under the direction of
| the arts and crafts section of the
Indian office, from permanent
residents, defense workers and
the armed forces.
Mrs. Leonard Chute, of Afog
nak, was admitted to the GM
hospital for medical attention
and was dismissed on Tuesday.

Cannery Workers
In all probability the canned
salmon industry will be contin
ued for the year 1945 on the
resident and non-resident quota
basis.
Therefore, it is the urgent re
quest of the Cannery Workers
Union that all who desire to and
will work in the canneries for
the coming season to please re
gister for work in the near future
with the Union at the hall, in
person or by mail, and specify
ing which cannery.
DO NOT DELAY. This is
very important to our resident
workers.

ICE-COLD COCA-COLA"
'"Letters come from war plant managers
telling how a pause for Coca-Cola is
welcomed by workers. If you had to
stand up to a hot furnace, you'd see
the word refreshment in a new light.
And as for refreshment, that's what
ice-cold Coca-Cola is. No wonder
everybody agrees that the only thing
like Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola, itself.”
