| Refrigeration For
The Alaskans
MINNEAPOLIS —From Alaska
to Dunwoody to take—refrigera
tion. That is the tale of George
Bourdon, a student from Nome.
Alaska, who entered the class in
refrigeration on Monday, Jan. 3.
Why did he decide to take re
frigeration when the country from
i which he comes has pre ty chilly
weather? (Even in July frost can
be seen on the walks in the morn
ing). Bourdon says he figures he
will get into a good field by enter
ing refrigeration. There is a need
among the townspeople of Nome
to have a refrigeration serviceman
and an army base there needs
skilled tradesmen.
Bourdon first heard of Dun
woody from his high school prin
cipal. who is a nativa of Minne
sota—and who took teacher train
ing at the University and had a
class under R. T. Craigo, former
assistant director. The school he
attended had baout 40 pupils so he
wasn’t prepared for the large
number of students he found when
he got to Dunwoody.
His work at the school he finds
interesting, but he misses the out
door life he lived in Nome. There
his principal hobbies were hunting
:.nd fishing.
In hunting, he didn't go in for
fox and wolves (although wolves
have been shot in the ,town of
Nome* but( rather for 1. .wl and
the small Canadian geese, (“cack
lers” and the “empress”), and for
ptarmigan, which is like a small
grouse. Sometimes these are seen
in flocks of thousands. Hunting
seasons and hunting restrictions
on the whole are a little more lib
eral than in the States, although
the limits are strictly enforced.
Hunting seasons for some birds
last longer than here, but if the
season is on in the winter, not
much hunting is done. Bourdon
said that beyond the town the
country is quite flat, and the large
snowfall prevents much hunting.
Fishing in r vers and in bays is
ano her sport with which he is
familiar. Salmon of several kinds,
a few pickerel and trout, such as
the Dolly Varden, tempt the fish
erman in Nome. Anovner fish
which is caught is the “greyling.”
All in all. Bourdon finds Dun
woody to his liking, and the train
ing very interesting—bur he'll be
mighty glad whe nhe o n 0j '.jack
to Nome for a visit with his fam
ily, and some of that outdoor life
he’s missing here.
What’s practical about a prac
tical joker?
