Eskimo Show
Very Successful

introduced as the Eskimo cowboy.
This talented young man accom
panied himself on the guitar.
George Washington Sookr u k
gave a dance, traditional in his
family accompanied by the na
tive musicians and singers.
Mrs. Robert Okpealuk climaxed
the evening by demonstrating how
a seal is butchered by the native
women with the ancient tool
called an “oolu.” The speed with
* which she dispatched the seal
(caught earlier in the program by
Sam Ailak) was amazing. In a
matter of minutes the entire ani
mal was ready for the kettle, and
the skin ready to be dried.
The Festival Dance was enacted
by Lawrence Mezamman and an
old King Island native called
Imanna, who wore the traditional
shoulder length mitts in their per
formance.
The last dance of the evening
was the Khagri (sometimes re
ferred to as the Kozga), and one
never publicly performed before.
This dance was a Diomede dance
which has been handed down for
generations and used in celebra
tions after a successful whale
hunt. It shows the dancers emerg
ing from the hold in the top of the
underground club or kozga, and
entering into the dance dressed in
ceremonial garb. The dance was
enacted by Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Okpealuk.
The last act on the program was
a blanket toss which was some
what limited as the contestants
sailed close to the ceiling of the
auditorium.
Winners were drawn for the
prizes with Mrs. Mabel Ramsey
winning the door prize of a fur
jacket; Carl Smith winning the
coveted bubble gum for the chil
dren and Henry Drier winning the
raffle which was another beauti
ful fur jacket to be made to order
by Sam Mogg at Polet’s Fur Shop.
Due to the fact that the show
lasted until after midnight and it
was too late to start the games,
they were omitted.
The committee was highly com
plimented for the fine perform
ance and splendid continuity
throughout the entire program. It
is hoped that this can be an an
nual event.
Peron-Supported
Candidates Ahead
BUENOS ^IRES. (/P)—First re
turns from yesterday’s national
elections favored candidates sup
ported by President John Peron.

in most provinces, returns in mu
nicipal elections held simultane
ously gave victories to administra
tion supporters in the provinces of
Santa Fe, Entre Rios and Jujuy.

out claims by the Peronista party
of a sweeping victory.

to ballot. Then he settled down in
the suburban presidential resi
dence.
The election was to fill 83 of the
