killed and 59 wounded .
Business and transportation in
this capital city, however, re
mained virtually paralyzed by a
general strike called by opposi
tion leaders, which closed all
banks and commercial establish
ments.

and leader of the opposition party, (

with restrictive measures in the
current presidential campaign, in
which he is a candidate.
The cabinet gave a vote oi‘ con

The Engineer softball team was
victor again Tuesday night when
they nosed out the Medics by a
5-3 score. Their next game will be
with the Air Corps. The members
of the detachment have been busy j
moving into their new quartets in
the civilian barracks. If everything
comes off as planned, they should
be all settled in their new home
by today.
Meeting the AACS. Take for in
stance Pfc. Wayne P. Jackson,
whose hobby is photography and
who seems to spend most of his
off time taking pictures and devel
oping them over at the photo lab.
He has recently bought a new
camera and claims it is really
good. He is also an amateur flyer
and flys about a bit at the civilian
air field in Nome. He gets about
quite a bit for a lad from the
windy city of Chicago.
This week was a very slow one
for the Detachment Tenth Rescue.
We didn’t get to play QM in soft
ball the other day. When we do
play them, the game will count as
two. Oh yes, the Tenth had a new
addition to the happy family this
week. S/Sgt. is the man. We all
hope he enjoys his stay here very
much. (If the mosquitoes don’t get
him first.)
This week’s main interest in Hq.
Det. was, undoubtedly, mosqui
toes. T/Sgt. Langley spent most of
his off hours checking people in
and out, through the screen door
—threatening an awful fate to
anyone who allowed a mosquito to
get into the barracks. Cpls. Siler
and Clemente and Pfc. Winslow
made a recruiting trip to Kotze
bue Monday and said that it was
quite an interesting and enjoyable
experience. We have lost Sgt. Ver
non Smith who has returned to;
the States for discharge.
The Signal Deatchment softball
team has been broken up for quite
a while, because of a lack of play- ■
ers. Several of the fellows on the
team have joined the line-up of
other teams in the league. Among
those are Buscher and Morrison
who made a valuable addition to
the Hdqrs. team, and Lansford
who joined the Air Corps team.
The 53rd Aircraft Detachment
extends its sympathy to Cpl.
Bobby McKenzie, who has return
ed to the States on an emergency
furlough. He was summoned be
cause of the grave illness of his
father. We hope he has a speedy
and safe trip to his home in Mi
ami, Florida. The detachment is
figuring on moving to another
barracks before long.

THE SPIRIT MOVES
ESKIMOS 10 MILES
FROBISHER BAY, Baffin Is
land, Canada. I/P)—Every Sunday
a small group of parka-covered
Eskimos travel ten miles to hear i
a sermon read by an officer of the
AAF Air Transport Command
here.
There is no chaplain permanent
ly quartered at this isolated base
off the far northeast coast of Can
adad. To keep Sunday holy and !
aid morale of the men stationed
here, officers read a weekly ser
i mon written and forwarded by
Chaplain <Maj.> William V. Mor
gan, stationed at Manchester, N.
H.
Eskimos rarely miss these Sun
day services. Most of them don't
understand a word but have,
learned the Lord’s Prayer and
fundamental religion from mis
sionaries.

produce its own penicillin.
FRANK GLASIER TO BE ON
NUNIVAK FIVE YEARS
Frank Glasier who has winter
ed at Teller observing the wolf
menace to the reindeer is now at
Mekoryuk, on Nunivak Island,
where he plans to spend the next
five years in the interest of the
development of the musk-oxen for
the Fish and Wildlife service.
Mr. Glasier, who has spent 35
years in the Territory states that
44 of the animals were sighted
last March and April when a sur
vey was made and he now plans
to complete the survey and make
another count.
The work will be difficult, as
he will have to scout across the
70 miles long island on foot. The
island, it is understood is barren,
being covered with moss. Its oack
bone is 40 volcanoes which siud
the center of the island.
Mrs. Glasier accompanied her
husband and her only other white
companion will be the school
teacher.
