Haycock News
(Irene Cornue, Correspondent)
Sophie Rylander received word
of her brother Carl’s death at Ka
nakanak Hospital, Dec. 1. Carl
Sookiayak, sixteen years of age,
lived with the Rylanders in Hay
cock for eight years. In May, 1950,
he was admitted to the Bethel
hospital. Little Carl attended
school here and his death was a
sad shock to his young friends.
Lizzie and Oscar Swanson so
journed to the Landing in mid
November. Helen Porter and
Johnny Beltz accompanied them.
Although Lizzie hooked a three
foot pike, they reported poor fish
ing. It was evident that otter were
eating the fish. Bert Beltz of Kot
zebue visited the Haycock resi
dents at The Landing. An insuffi
cient amount of snow at Haycock
prevented the landing of his ski
plane.
Victor Karmun flew to Kotze
bue on November 18 with Art
Johnson for a tonsillectomy. As
no* news is good news, we are as
suming that Victor is in fine con
dition. Proper transportation will
soon bring him back to Haycock
where his school curriculum and
Christmas festivities are awaiting
him.
Fredie Swanson entertained the
school children at his home, No
| vember 27 on his l*th birthday.
Birthday cake, chocolate and ber
ries climaxed the evening.
How disturbing to be located at
! 65° 14' latitude 161° 05' west lon
gitude and yet not have sufficient
snow for the mail plane to land!
So it has been at Haycock for the
past two weeks. However, we
have just experienced three days
of heavy snow and we are confi
dent that a scarlet Gull Wing err
I
Noresman will soon bring us
Christmas packages.
A Thanksgiving program and
lunch were presented to the par
ents and friends at the school, No
vember 22. Although the tradi
tional bird did not visit all of us,
cranberries and pumpkin pies
were plentiful and a spirit of
Thanksgiving was present.
Again, “our” Art Johnson, was
the first pilot to land a ski plane
at Haycock. Just before dusk Dec.
6, Art and Jim Baldwin landed
on the willowy “runway.” Bert
Beltz followed in his Piper Cub.
The three stayed overnight here
and departed early the next morn
ing for a moose camp on the Yu
kon. They were to join Wallace
Johnson and George Aluje, who
are trapping on Thompson Creek.
Is Haycock atypical in regard
to dog teams? Seven tractors are
harbored in our small village, but
not one dog team has sallied into
the new snow. Why? Because we
have only two dogs! A quarter of
a century ago when one hundred
and fifty people lived here there
were two hundred dogs. But ev
ery dog has his day and no doubt
tractors as much more practical in
this mining community. This is
all the more reason that a visiting
dog team would toe greatly wel
comed.
I* Henry Moon will be pleased to
learn that he has a warm and fes
tive welcome awaiting him at his
cabin.
The school children are making
Christmas toys and gifts for
mothers. Scrooge and the Birds’
Christmas Carol are being studied
and the usual program and tree
are being planned.
Lt« and Mrs. Norman Bellury.
formerly of Marks Air Force Base,
send greetings from Niceville,Fla.,
where they are now located.
