N. W. Airline Pilots
Conduct Drive for
Eskimos
<June 6 Issue Northwest Progress
A Northwest Airline pilot’s
friendship and admiration for
Father Paul O’Connor, S. J., na
tive of Spokane, started •off a
clothing drive for the Eskimo pop
ulation of Hooper Bay, Akulurak,
and Holy Cross which promises to
bring them some measure of relief
during the coming winter.
Capt. Paul Thursh, who flies be
tween Seattle and Anchorage for
Northwest, met Father O’Connoi
in Anchorage and in various con
versations with him learned that
the Eskimos of the Bering Sea
area were desperately in need of
warm clothing.
Father O’Connor, whose latest
book “Eskimo Parish” covering
his years of service to Eskimo
tribes of the Far North is recently
off the press, informed Capt.
Thursh that some 800 or 900 Eski
mos (about 275 families) in*his
parish were urgently in need of
clothing for the winter, especially
any type of woolen clothing.
Impressed with Father O’Con
nor’s efforts to help his people,
Capt. Thursh talked with fellow
pilots on the Anchorage run and
they agreed to start an “Eskimo
Clothing Drive” among flight per
sonnel.
The clothing drive was enlarged
to include all Northwest Airlines
personnel in the Western Region
and Alaska. It was placed under
the supervision of Capt. Thursh
and Miss Sorinne Juelson, chief
stewardess for the region.
Clothing Deadheaded Through
At present Capt. Thursh has
deadheaded on Northwest planes
some 900 pounds of clothing *o
Anchorage, where arrangements
have been made to clean the wool
ens and repack the clothing for
distribution to the Eskimo famil
ies out along the Yukon and Ber
ing sea.

ton, as well as from Alaska. The
pilots hope to double the amount
already collected when the drive
closes.
Father O’Connor has kept in
close contact with the drive and
recently made a trip to Anchorage
to help make plans for distribu
tion of the clothing.
"Outside" Donations Welcome
Because of the damp cold cli
mate and inadequate warm cloth
ing under furs, the Eskimos in the
region have the highest mortality
rate on the North American con
tinent and are extremely suscep
tible to tuberculosis. Father
O’Connor reported that it is rare
for an Eskimo to live to be 50 and
usually only one child in six
reaches maturity.
Clothing is being collected in
Seattle by Northwest personnel,
and any outside donations will be
welcomed at the city ticket office,
4th Ave. and University.
