Margaret Fleener of Nome, who
came here unexpectedly on the
North Star last July 15, is staying
with her old friends, Mr. and Mrs.
Clarence Irrigoo. When she was
a little girl, she was with Mr.
and Mrs. Bob Omauk who spent
about two years on St. Lawrence
Island. That time, her friends she
now lives with, were not married.
Margaret was very much sur
prised to see a house full of chil
dren, all boys and one girl.
She is enjoying her stay this
summer. Her food, she remarked
“is something I have been want
ing to eat for so long. I just wish
my mom would eat with me.”
We all wished Flora Omauk
would drop in and share with us
the St. Lawrence Island Eskimo
food.
Margaret is now working for
one Weather Bureau man, Mr.
White, formerly of Nome. Mr.
Ulysses Fleener, Margaret’s hus
band, now working for the con
tractors is in constant communi
cation by correspondence.

to those of Savoonga people.

A baby boy arrived to Mr. and
Mrs. Alfred Walenczvk of Gam*
f bell CAA last month. This is not
the first white baby bom on the
icy shore of Gambell away from
ph ysicion. Babies were born to
government school teachers even
earlier.

Robert Tungivan is moving his
little cabin this summer, and
building it 10 miles southeast of
Gambell where there is good seal
and bird hunting, also a very good
shelter when the seas come up
again over the village this coming
fall. Mr. Tungiyan, like a wise
owl, is making every effort to
save his head when the storm
v comes up. Many of us will receive
a second beating if the storms in
vade, but we are hoping this will
not happen again.

Recently a female dog was
found dead by its owner, heavy
with its little ones. Curious why
the dog died, her womb was
opened up. To her surprise, she
found only one great big pup with
a long hair on it!

Two boats made a trip down to
Boxer Bay, and returned with a
good catch of salmon and birds.
One boat returned from Northeast
Cape -and reported that work is
plentiful. Most of the men expect
to stay there as long as possible.
If you’d succeed,
Keep this in mind:
First find your work,
Then work your find.

Senate Bill Would
Increase Postage Rate
From Three to Four Cents
WASHINGTON, iff) — The cost
of sending a letter would go up
from three to four cents under a
postal rate increase bill passed by
the Senate Friday night and sent
to the House.
The' measure also would make
the penny postcard only a mem
ory, raise airmail rates and boost
charges on other types of mail in
an effort to swell the Post Office
Department’s revenues by around
$400,000,000 a year.
Even so the department would
be left in the red. Its, expenses
now outrun its income more than
$500,000,000 annually.
