May 21 — Muktuk, walrus;
muktuk. walrus. Yes, muktuk and
walrus meat is available now. Fe
male walrus with its young is
the major target of the hunters
now, while they are swimming
around, and while the ice lasts.
Whaling has been poor this
spring. However, another boat
missed a whale again just recent
ly. Mother whales with their
calves are here now, so there is
still chance to catch them.

Tuberculosis of the lungs, the
No. 1 killer of the natives, took
another life of one person on May
20. Lucy Booshu, wife of Solomon
Booshu, passed away, leaving four
children. Two are now in the
ANS hospitals at Kotzebue and
Mt. Edgecumbe. Two more are
here with their father. Lucy Boo
shu was born in Siberia. She came
to Gambell when she was a little
girl with her parents back in
June 27, 1923. She bore many
children to her husbands, but
most of them died.

Flora Omauk’s recent visit with
the Alaska Airlines was a sur

who met her at Irrigoo’s house
wished she could stay a little
while longer.

Keel Laying Ceremony
Of Atom-Powered Sub
WASHINGTON, W—President
Truman will speak at New Lon
don, Conn., June 14 at keel laying
ceremonies for this country’s first
atomic-powered submarine.
The submarine, the “Nautilus,”
is being built on the ways of the
Electric Boat Division of the Gen
eral Dynamics Corp. near the
Navy’s submarine base at New
London.
Some Navy men have said the
sub may be ready for testing
sometime in 1954.
There have been frequent pre
dictions that development of the
atomic submarine will revolution
ize underseas warfare.
GAMBLING BY "CLASS”
MONCAY, Indo-China. {IP) —
Here in French-held Moncay, on
the border with Red China, people
gamble “by class.”
On the first floor, the “small
fry” gamblers make their wagers.
On the second floor, there’s big
ger bettors, and on the third floor,
the biggest ones. They sit on
benches and look down upon the
dice tables below.
The money they wager and
whatever they collect moves up
and down by small buckets tied
to a rope.

see the markings on the runway.
The wheels were down through
the gravel, so the little plane had
to be pulled with the help of un
ANS tractor.

Grace Crosson, a nurse who
was here from Savoonga some
time ago, would like to return to
Savoonga, but dogteam drivers
are saying the snow is too soft
tof travel. She may stay until boat
travel is open between here and
Savoonga.

The CAA laborers who were
here just recently have -already
started working. They cleared the
snow off the sewer lines in most
places with the bull-dozer they
fished out of the lake which went
down last fall.
When they pulled the heavy
| “cat” out of the ice, the motor
was still good, and they are using
I it now.

Mount joy Finds
Many Helping
Hands - Out
JUNEAU, May 23—Charles* R.
Mountjoy, who guessed the time
at the Tanana River ice breakup
this year, is now learning about
some of the problems that dog
the heels of fame — especially
when fame is complemented by
worldly affluence.
As yet, the Alaska Native Re
sources employee has not received
any reward for his accurate tim
ing, but he has already been over
whelmed by offers to share his
“responsibilities.”
Mountjoy, a happily married
man with a son* and a daughter,
said he has received quite a fetfr
letters from people offering every
thing from -gratitude to wealth,
if he will just share his good for
tune with them.
One widow in California even
hinted strongly that she would
not shrink from another fling at
matrimony with a man possessing
Mountjoy’s timing.
Most of the letters, Mountjoy
said, are from friends who have
just written their congratulations.
The next most numerous kind are
from people seeking financial help
in meeting medical expenses.
Some of these are pathetic — if
they are true.
A few of the letters “advise”
him how to invest his money,
but these get-rich-quick schemes
have little allure for Mountjoy.
He does not expect lightning to
strike twice.
Beyond a doubt, guessing the
time of the Tanana River ice
breakup is accompanied by a
number of headaches. But to date,
Mountjoy has indicated no desire
to unload his troubles.
