New School Is
Established In
Arctic Section
—
Dr. George A. Dale, Director of
Education for the Alaska Native
Service, stated that a new school
room has been improvised in one
of the buildings at the Meade
River Mine near Point Barorw to
accommodate the 20 native chii-%
dren of the workers. In response
to a letter received from George
Wilson, principal of the ANS
school at Barrow, Dr. Dale made
arangements to have supplies and
books flown into the Meade River
Mine and a former ANS teacher,
Margaret Panigeo. an Eskimo girl,
accepted the position of teacher at
the new project.
Dr. Dale said that around 70
people are living at present in the
Meade River Mine site engaged in
mining of coal for use in the vil
lage at Barrow. Mr. Wilson’s
recommendation for school facili
ties in the mine area was based on
the insistence of the workers who
requested this opportunity for
their children since the mine is a
permanently established industry
and the people intend to remain
there to raise their families.

dating back to the early days of aviation
in the Territory, that Alaska Airlines' ex
perienced pilots, efficient equipment, and
trained air-freight and passenger person
