By Dwight Milligruk
April 28, 1951
The Northern Consolidated Air
line has been busy hauling boys

kleet, for the Alaska Railroad.
From St. Michael, 17 of our boys
have gone and from Stebbins,
nine. We are happy to see the
boys working for the summer as
there is another long winter
ahead. Lord willing, they will all
return home safe.
The snow is almost all gone
here although the ice in the bay
is still holding. There has been
no ice at all between here and
Unalakleet for some time. Every

COUNCIL NEWS
By Don Perkins
April 27, 1951
Mrs. Ost is recovering from a
recent illness in Nome. Her hus
band, Mona and Mamie have
been with her since the crisis.
Julius T a t p a n and daughter
Lilly, have moved back to Coun
cil. He was herding reindeer for
Johnny Kakarilk of Mary’s Igloo.
Gharlie Gustafson and John
Swedeman have been in Council
for the past two weeks. They are
getting the Alaska Placer Com
pany’s equipment in shape for the
coming summer. Morris Thomp- p
son was out to overhaul the large
“cat.”
Don Perkins spent the past
weekend in Nome visiting with
friends.
From all indications last week,
it appeared as , if the Niukluk
River was going to break up
sooner than usual, but cold wea
ther this week has halted the run- «
ning water. The only indication
of spring was recently when Char
lie Gustafson fell into the river
when going to meet Reggie Joule’s
plane. All of us Councilites had
been wary of the soft spot in
the ice but managed to make it
across. Charlie, with the added
weight of a sled, showed us ex
actly where the thin ice was—
purely involuntary however.
Several residents have been
catching trout and greyling in
the river. The two champs so far
are Julia Nelson and Julius Tat
pan. A variety of lures have been
offered the fish but good old re
liable ivory hooks seem to appeal
to them more than any other.
Bill Van Wetchel returned to
Nome Sunday. He had spent the
winter with Nels Nelson and fam
ily.
Nora Henry, daughter of David
Henry, visited in White Mountain
this week.
Old man winter has halted our
eager anticipation of spring by
presenting us with a light snow
and chilly west wind today. We
have dug deeply into this weather
situation and have found no solu
tion. Guess we could blame it on
the C.A.B.
CZECH PUPILS SLIPPING
.PRAGUE, (;F) — One out of
every 20 pupils fails in the
schools of Bohemia and Moravia,
the Czechoslovak News Agency *
said in reporting a school inspec
tors’ conference here. So teachers
are being urged to improve their
work “according to the example
of Soviet pedagogues,” it said.
A wise man never blows his
knows. ^
