Nome's Fur
Rendezvous
• Continued from Page One)
camera clickers would alert and
crowd for space whenever the
part wolf# Nome dogs came by.
Then there was the persistent
requests, “When are you going to
do the blanekt toss again?” It was
an oogruk hide of course, and
was done, as Sammy Mogg said,
without enough man power, but
the bouncing figure was absolute
ly irresistible for the picture
hounds. At about the same time
the toss was being done, the
queens were officially introduced,
but everybody had turned around
and the queens craned their pret
ty necks too—trying to see a real
Eskimo “hit the oogruk.”
It was reported from good
sources that the Nome boys were
the best sports of the bunch, Coach
Urich drew a genuine ovation, and
from start to finish, if you were
from Nome, you rated. Artist
George Ahgupuk had to stay over
additional time to “meet his pub
lic,” and Robert Mayokok was
well received. Frankie Sheldon
made it to Seward, and Nomeites
spoke for their city at the Rotary
Club, the Chamber of Commerce,
and even showed up at the Cub
Scout banquet at Palmer.
A tired but happy troupe of
Nome Eskimos returned from An
chorage Monday after being the
guests of the Fur Rendezvous last
week.
They were unanimous in their
praise of the hospitality of the
Anchorage people who not only
were very interested in their han
dicraft and traditional dances but
who showed them the city and
took them to many interesting
parts of the city.
Among the highlights according
to one of the group, was a visit to
the Providence Hospital where
they rode on the elevator and
were escorted throughout the
building. In return the group put
on a special dance at the hospital
for the Mother Superior and the
other nuns who operate the hos
pital.
Another experience was the
eating of a Chinese dinner in a
prominent restaurant where they
weer the guests of a woman’s
club.
They stated that every time
they put on their dances, whether
indoors at the school auditorium,
or outdoors at the ball park, the
places would be filled to capacity
with people still arriving at the
conclusion of the show, which
lasted a full hour each time they
entertained.
Coal Strike Idles
Over Half Million
(Continued from Page One'
joined the 372,000 striking UMW
in swelling the idle total.
The nation’s soft coal supply is
down to 5.6 days.
And there is a new threat of a
shortage in hard (anthracite* coal.
The 80,000 UMW anthracite
diggers are working a three-day
week while their own contract
negotiations drag into the 13th
week.
The soft coal negatiations have
been going on sporadically since
last May.
Some soft coal is being dug by
non-union miners working inde
pendent mines. However, yester
day a group of strip (surface* mine
operators charged they are being
subjected to a “reign of terror and
lav lessness” in western Pennsyl
vania’s soft coal fields.
4foIiI Stork Rises
Due To Russian
Announcement
NEW YORK, (/P)—A flurry of
demand for gold stocks today fol
lowed news that Russia planned
to tie the ruble to a gold standard.
Demand for gold shares wasj
even more pronounced in the Lon
don exchange wheer heavy specu
lative buying was reported.
The effect of the Russian an
nouncement was regarded as
more psychological than real.!
Gold stocks here and in foreign
exchanges have frequently at
tracted speculative support in
past months, mainly on the basis :
of rumors that the price of gold
would be raised above $35 an
ounce.
Fractionally higher prices were
paid for Alaska Juneau, Home
I stake mining, Dome Mines, Mcln
' tyre Porcupine, and South Ameri
can Gold and Platinum. 1
The balance of the market slip- |
ped at the start but almost imme
j diately got a good grip on the
price ladder. Losses were either
I shaded or eliminated.

The struggle toward adult self
reliance begins in babyhood, as a
child learns, gradually to grasp his
bottle, hold his rattle, walk, talk,
and feed himself.
At sixteen months, he wants to
jump, to throw, to “help” Mother,
to nt things to
gether, and to
take them apart.
He struggles to
get o n table

. the parent) in
Claud C. Ruch te,;est inTV;
gating household
objects, usually the expensive and
breakable kind.
He strains to be the center of
attention and to "go places”, and
gets angry if he cannot have what
he wants. In Childcraft books, Mary
M. Aldrich and the late Dr. C.
Anderson Aldrich, co-authors of
“Babies Are Human Beings”, point
out that “all of these things are
just a normal part of the baby’s
pattern of development”.
At eighteen months, the drive to
; “do it mvself” is so marked, he
would rather push his gocart than
ride in it. He has an almost mad
dening (again, to the parent) pre
occupation with “finishing” things.
He loves to put lids on boxes and
tops on milk bottles, and to close
doors that have been left open for
some very good reason.
It is especially important for par
| ents to be patient and understand
ing with a child during this signi
ficant period of growth. They must
recognize his activities at this time
us being “perfectly natural and nec
essary” and co-operate with him
in achieving the much-needed skills
for which he is striving.
The child who is blocked ir, his
struggle toward adult self-reliance,
j starts life with t.vo strikes against
