Couple Solves !
Housing Problem
At U. Of A.
How one young University of
Alaska couple solved its housing
problem by building a wooden ig
loo is told by Helen Oswalt, a
University of Alaska sophomore,
in the April 4 issue of the Chris
tian Science Monitor.
Helen and her husband. Wen- j
dell, got their idea for the “wood
en igloo” from dwellings uneirth
ed in the archaelogical cxcava- j
tions made in the Eskimo country J
along the Kobuk River in North- j
western Alaska. The couple spent
the summer of 1947 on a field
trip with Prof. J. Louis Gildings,
Jr. They were impressed with the j
warmth of Eskimo houses built
partly underground.
When the Oswalts could find no
place to live at College, they de
cided to dig out a pit on a hillside
not far from the University, and
duplicate a wooden Eskimo Igloo, i
To the simple construction of the
early natives they added a wood- j
en roof and floor, then moved in
bed, stove and school books.
In her article, Helen Oswalt
stated that total costs for heating
the modest dwelling was only $40
for the entire winter, as compared
to an average monthly fuel bill of
$40 for above-ground residences j

Thirty Die In New
York Squalls
NEW YORK, (A3)—Treacherous
spring squalls caught thousands of
New York and New England boat
men without warning over the
sunny week-end and left 20 of
them dead or missing in lakes,
rivers and salt water.
The high winds, tail end of a
midwest storm, reached 65 miles
an hour at some points.
In addition to the havoc caused
on the water, the winds also fan
ned forest fires in New England
and blanked out most private fly
ing. The flames covered hundreds
of acres of New England wood
land.
Upper New York State had the
worst drowning toll, with 10 dead
or missing since Friday. New
York City and Long Island count
ed seven lost Sunday.
In the United States about 550,
000 persons this year are under
treatment for cancer, the Amer
ican Cancer Society points out.

in English at the University of
Alaska, and was encouraged to
send it to a national publication.
