GAMBELL NEWS
By CLARENCE IRIGOO
Many things happened ^ince
the last news from Gambell went
to press. *
After the North Star left, a
number of boats were here and
discharged non - civilian cargo.
Since the local store is full of
groceries and dry goods and hard
ware, the village people do not
pay much attention to the mili
tary boats. However, those who
have carved ivoTy either sold or
traded their wares. Only thing
that attracted attention was the
portable crane used to unload
heavy material. Even those with
aching backs took chance walking
down quarter of a mile to see
how the crane works.

Men who went to east end to
work returned just recently. They
reported the boss who hired na
tives last summer was gone. The
new man did not like the natives.
This fellow, some said, “has never
heard of equal rights.” Few were
hired to work but only for short
period. There is a different com
pany of contractors who willing
to hire laborers, but those who
worked there reported the place
is risky business. Finding no work
in Gambell, some left today to
work again.

Annual clean-up which started
late in June is still going on.
North Star and MS Health stop
ped the clean-up. This will be
finished during the summer.
Philip Campbell’s boat with
crew of mixed nationality served
as a “shuttle run” between the
Health and beach, ferrying men,
women and children for physical
examinations as well as chest
X-rays. In return, several drums
of stove oil was given to be
divided amongst the crew.

Uruguay Beats Argentina In
Riotous Basketball Game
i
HELSINKI, <iP) — Uruguay de
feated Argentina, 68-59, Friday , in
a nightmarish basketball game
that featured a riot and ended
with only seven players on the
floor. The victory gave little Uru

the seminary. With new material
just shipped in, Rev. Campbell is
building an additional room
which will be used as a bedroom.
Rev. and Mrs. Elmer E. Parker
who spent five years at Gambell,
1944-1950, did not bother to ask
for material to make a bedroom
downstairs, nor the Board of Na
tional Missions cared. Now the
Board is doing all they can to
make the Campbells comfortable,
sending enough material to make
their bedroom downstairs, be
cause beds used to be in the old
attic. This, the aging minister and
his wife, Clara, did not fuss
about.

The McLains of ANS school of
Gambell left on the same plane
the new teachers came on. Mc
Lains were here for one year. He
helped teach the Sunday School
children on Sundays. He was just
out of the seminary when they
came to Alaska last summer. His
stay may have been limited be
cause of his interest in the min
istry. Mrs. McLain learned more
of Gambell people in one year—
more than we do in all of crur life
time. This is because she had
someone to listen for her.

Grace Crosson, P.H.N., who was
stationed at Savoonga, is here to
stay for the summer. Her quarters
are quite comfortable now, after
the walls of the kitchen and front
room were painted. Doctors Schil

cupied the place several times be
fore and left it in a mess.

Gambell is still looking for W.

this summer.

News of L. B. Williams’ entry

Eisenhower Will' Have
Support of Newspapers
In Democratic South
ATLANTA, (/P) — Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower will have the edi
torial support of more newspapers
than ever before backed a Re
publican presidential nominee in
the traditionally Democratic
South.
An Associated Press survey of
nearly 100 papers in 11 southern
state showed Friday that 41 have
endorsed the General or will do
so and past performances indi
cates several in the “undecided”
list will go to him.
Paradoxically, however, this
does not mean that editors of the
area are much more opposed to
the 1952 Democratic candidate,
Adlai Stevenson, than they were
to President Truman when he ran
in 1948. Four years ago the anti
New Deal anti-Fair Deal senti
ment was divided between Thom
as Dewey, the GOP nominee, and
Strom Thurmond, choice of the
State’s Righters and these two
men drew more editorial page en
dorsements. than Truman. That
year, 24 of the papers surveyed
were for Dewey, 22 for Thur
mond.
At this early stage in the cam
paign, only 22 papers have come
out for Stevenson and Sen. John
Sparkman, the Democratic team.
In 1948, 35 of those questioned
tills year were lined up for Tru
man. Presumably, Stevenson’s
total will approach that.
U.N. Approves Communist
Changes In Armistice Draft
. NDUNSAN, (IP)—United Nations
and Communist staff officers
made a little progress Friday to
ward agreement on the wording
of the Korean armistice draft.
Lt. Col. Duncan S. Somerville
of Cumberland, Md., top U. N.
staff officer, said the U.N. ap
proved Communist suggested re
wording in five paragraphs of the
bulk truce document during a
65-minute session at Panmunjom.
The changes were minor and
had no bearing on the thorny pri
soner of war exchange issue,
which has deadlocked the main
negotiations.
