This month Walt Disney Pro
ductions commences color filming
Alaska wildlife for another movie
in the ‘‘True - Life Adventure”
series for release throughout the
United States and in foreign coun
tries.
Herb and Lois Crisler, proto
grapers of Disney’s production
“The Olympic Elk” and a picture
on Rocky Mountain big horn
sheep soon to be released, have
been selected to do the job.
Kodiak bear, moose, mountain
sheep, wolves and polar bear are
among the species of Alaska ani
mals to be filmed, unposed and
undisturbed in their natural sur
roundings.
The Crislers sailed from Seattle
last week on the Alaska Steam
ship Company steamer Baranof
and upon their arrival yesterday
I
j in Seward began their filming
project which is expected to take
from six to eight months.
For transportation in Alaska the 1
Crislers have brought along 3
panel truck. Although Mrs. Cris
1 ler has never flown before, they
! expect to count heavily on bush
pilots to carry them to remote
areas and they are prepared to
hike into otherwise inaccessible
places in search of their subjects.
The Crislers make their home
in Port Angeles.

Sanitorium News
By Ed Jonts
We sure are having nice weath
er down here lately. It gets a guy
kinda lonesome for home. Al
though it’s a beautiful country
down here.
I’ve been in Mt. Edgecumbe
Sanitorium for 16 months now
and it’ll be many more months
yet. I’m only C-3, get up only
three times a day to wash up and
get my own water. And since
they moved us from the first floor
to third floor we have a better
view. We could see Sitka and
Pioneer Home.
And had a surgery twice and
lost about six or seven Ribs. So
you know I’m few bones less.
And part of my Lung removed.
So Johnny Luke is in same class
I’m in too, but all the time I been
down here I haven’t seen him yet.
Although we’re in the same floor.
Can’t go visiting unless you are
C-4. I guess he’s doing OK.
And Simon Angusuc from King
Island was my room mate 'before
he went for Surgery. He also lost
eight ribs and in C-3 now and
doing fine. He was transfered
from Kanakanak hospital where
he spend two years.
And there’s Issac Eben which
also had Surgery just recently
but what class he’s in I don’t
know. I also haven’t seen him yet.
And Mary Brawn is in the San
some place — never seen her too.
I guess she’s OK.
And there’s Lucy Washington.
She was made class four not very
long ago and she’s up and visit
around on Saturdays. And she’s
operating elevator to fill in her
walking time. So she’ll be on her
way home in near future.
Going up and down that ele
vator and having fun—and get
ting paid for it. I think some of
us Eskimos are living in the mod
ern world now-a-days.
And there is Dora Johanson.
She’s also in class three and doing
fine. She’s in the same floor I’m
in too. Never see her either.
And there, is Ida Morris which
was readmitted to the San some
times in September after being in
States.
PS.— We wish to express our
appreciation for the presents we
have received for Christmas from
LWY Community Center.
