Annual Conference of
Swedish Covenant Church
Held at Koyuk
By Irene Comue
Koyuk was the scene of the
annual religious 1951 conference,
March 15-18. To the 116 guests
and 30 dog teams Koyuk played
the part of perfet hosts. Freshly
scrubbed floors, an ample supply
of newly baked bread, and barrels
of delicious salmonberries paved
the way for many pleasant hours
in the homes. Muktuk, greens,
salted ducks, fresh caribou and
reindeer were other articles on
the bill of fare. Koyuk people
certainly were well prepared with
physical and spiritual food during
the conference period.
The conference president, Har
ry Soxie of Shaktoolik, presided
at the three daily meetings. David
Puniptchuk of Unalakleet was the
secretary. Joseph and Mrs. Kin
nick of Nunivak Is. were a great
assistance to the conference. They
sang many songs in their dialect
and also remained ixi Koyuk to
assist with pre-Easter services.
Ruehen and Mrs. Puniptchuk of
Koyuk were gracious hosts to all
conference people. Rev. Ost, a
house guest of the R. Punipt
chuks, represented the white mis
sionaries, who were conspicuous
by their absence.
At the Sunday afternoon ser
vice, Rev. Ost presided over the
Communion Table. Two offerings
were taken.
It was a friendly, worth-while
conference, and Elim, host for
next year, is already planning for
a bigger and better religious gath
ering in 1952.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
r _
Today is a day of historical
significance to the history of Al
aska because eighty-four years
ago the United States purchased
the Territory from Russia for
$7,200,000. It was on March 30,
1867, that we acquired this valu
able region for a little less than
two cents an acre. No one today
would think of selling their rich
mining claims for such a price.
Alaska is a word which means
‘‘Great Land”. To you and me,
Alaska truly means those words.
It is a great land. To some people
in the States, Alaska is only a
land of ice and snow, inhabited
by Eskimos who share the coun
try with polar bear and walrus.
They remember the* terrible hard
ships of the gold stampeders to
the Klondike in 1896-98.
Alaska is unusually mountain
ous. The Cordilleran Highlands
extend into the region in two
great branches between which
runs the Yukon river. The south
ern branch is the Alaska Range,
and the northern, the Brooks
Range.
The school play practices are
being intensified and considerable
progress is being made in that
field. The new scenery will be
I used for the first time this year.
Because the moon’s distance
from the earth varies at times, its
shadow varies by one-sixtieth of
itself. When the moon is farthest
! away or at apogee, the shadow ,g)f
the moon does not cover the S
tire sun during an eclipse, so we
have what is called an annular
i eclipse, which means a ring of
light left uncovered. Such eclipses
are of great value to scientists in
I the study of the sun.

China Reds Reject
Peace Bid
TOKYO, {JPb— Red China re
buffed Gen. MacArthur’s peace
bill yesterday as impertinent, in
sulting, and “worth only a single
laugh.”
t
A Communist broadcast from
Peiping said “The entire Chinese
people will . . . fight unrelentingly
until the aggressor is completely
! driven from Korea.”
It gave the Chinese a distorted,
version of MacArthur’s s t a t e
ment of last Saturday.
The broadcast said MacArthur
“has declared that the United
States and Britain are preparing
to directly invade China.”
MacArthur, in offering to talk
peace with the Communist com
mander in Korea, warned that
China would face military dis
aster if the United Nations should
carry the war to its shores.
Twisting his proposal into a
propaganda boomerang, the Com
munists called on China’s millions
to fight to the finish.
For the first time, China spoke
i
of the entire Chinese people as
committed to a “sacred struggle
1 for the defense of their state.”
i
Previously, Red China has
j called her troops in Korea “volun
i teers.”
The Chinese language broadcast
isaid the “Chinese committee for
I the defense of peace” had termed
i the MacArthur bid “insulting to
| the people of Korea and China.”
