Call of the Wild Gives
Formula for Long Life
VANCOUVER, B.C., (/P) — A '
California businessman who went
to northern British Columbia “to
die with his boots on” is back in
Vancouver with a recipe for
health and happiness.
Last June, doctors gave 48-year
old Jim Porter of Santa Rosa
three months to live because of a
heart condition. So he sold his
automobile business, got a spe
cially-built trailer and with his
wife, Carolyn, and pomeranian,
“Alias Puddles” headed for Brit
ish Columbia’s northland.
“I wanted to die with my boots
on,” he said.
Now he says he believes he is
alive because he has been living
like an Eskimo. “Leave your cares
behind. Go north as close to the
' good God you can get. Fish in
a lake. If that won’t cure your
ills, nothing else will.”
Ed. Note: The Porters were in
Nome last fall and were outfitted
with furs (including the dog) for
their Alaskan and Canadian trip.

But Washington Fine For
Honeymoon Say Joules
EVERETT, Wash., {/P) — An
Eskimo couple thinks Washing
ton state is fine for a honey
moon, but there’s no place like
Nome.
Reginald L. Joule, 29, a Nome
flier, and Stella Kakaruk, 22, who
was barn—according to her mar
riage license application — in
Mary’s Igloo, were married in
Snohomish Saturday.
Their trip to the states, the first
for the bride-to-be, was unexpec
ted.
They’d planned to be married in
Nome but licenses suddenly be
came- unavailable when the Uni
ted Sfates Commissioner quit to
take another post, Joule said.
Joule spent three years taking
flying lessons in Seattle. He has
an aunt at Snohomish who will be
hostess to them at her home.
