An hilarious quiz and musical
show, radio scrip style topped a
Swedish Smorgasbord dinner nt
tonoVd by 110 in the Methodist

gers.

Schnoeker had a special question
for the women in the audience
"If a missile weighing one ton
is dropped from a bomber flying
at an altitude of 50.000 feet, in
what length of time will the mis
sile strike its target on the
ground?" Frances Clark won a
bouquet of roses with her answer
20 seconds - closest to the cor
rect answer 10 seconds.
The musical portion of (lie
show consisted of songs by Mrs.
Ruth Cassell and selections by
the musical trio, Raymond Rod
gers and bis saxaphone, Walh
Johnson an cfhis banjo and Ed
Schnoeker playing a mysterious
instrument of unknown pedigree
resembling a composite broom
handle and vvashtub. Group sing
ing of old favorites ended the
program.
This was the second in a ser
ies of monthly pnlluck fellowship
dinners sponsored by the Seward
Memorial Church for members
and friends.

TELLS HOW ESKIMO
ATE HER FAMILY
TO SURVIVE

SCHENECTADY, N. Y. (U.P.)—
Dr. Louis B. Amyot, dentist and
Arctic traveler returned from his
latest voyage with the story and
pictures of an Eskimo cannibal
woman.
The woman. A-TA - Gutta- Lik, I
now 72 years old, ate her husband
and three children 25 years ago
in a grim battle for survival. Dr.!
Amyot said.
“Her cannibalism was a ques
tion of survival. She was isolated
in the barrens with her husband
and their three children. The hus
band and children froze to death.
She ate them.
The Cantdian Mounted Police
investigated and absolved the wo
man of blame, lie added, pointing
nut that similar tales came out of
tiic opening of our own West.
Clinic Established
Dr. Amyot. who has been over
the Arctic Circle twice and once
went, for more than 300 miles
north of the magnetic North Pole,
made his latest trip to fulfill a
long-cherished dream. At Chester
field. on western Hudson Bay, ho
established a dental clinic for use
by Eskimo. Canadian police, trad
ers and missionaries.
As evidence of the need, he told
tiie story of a missionary who tr
aveled by sled and plane and sp
ent $2,500 to get rid of an aching
toot ll.
•The Eskimo today is almost
without dental care,” he explain
ed. although the Canadian govern
ment is working to provide facili
ties. Most affected are those who
have come into contact with the
softer foods and living conditions
of the white man.
In the extreme north, however,
Dr. Amyot related, the Eskimo
suffers practically no tooth decay
or other trouble. The reason is
that the women chew their hus
band’s boo’s each morning to

Jimmy’s Bowling Alley opened
with a bang Tuesday night, Feb.
10. Operator Bob Forsythe unlock
ed’ the door and got behind his
combination Fountain and lunch |
counter to keep from being tram- j
pled to death in the rush. The!
place took on a warm friendly |
feeling and sport came to life in ’
Seward tli.- way it should have
done long ago. Bob doesn’t have
enough room at present with
his place arranged as it is to ac
commodate everyone in Seward
at once, but. if you drop into his
place I'm sure you will be well .
entertained and. “Fed if you pre
fer it," until your turn comes up
for the Alleys. Seward has need
ed this kind of entertainment or
sport for many years. So far, it
has been well-received and prais
ed.
If you haven't been over to the
Bowling Alley yet, take a stroll
over there. G.t behind a good
thing that has been started in
Seward and help keep it rolling.
It is wonderful to have this new
sport and time killer in Seward.
We're grateful to you, Bob. May
everything for you be successful.

In solving the problem, Mason
said some seeming inconsistencies
probably would result—but neces
sarily so if the administration is
lo succeed.
Charter Quoted
“By the terms of the United
Nations charter, we are commit
ted to respect the ‘freely expres
sed wish . s of the peoples con
cerned’,’’ he said. “We may often,
find ourselves in the position of
a democratic people giving sup
port to a Micronesian feudalistic
system in which inequalities a
bound.
“Yet if that is the desire of the
people concerned', we have nc
choice but o retspect the situa
tion.”
Mason knows Micronesia inti
mat -ly and is soon to spend two
weeks living with the displaced
B;kininns on Rongerik. The Navy
has asked him to determine If
they can ever make a go of it
there, or whether they should be
moved to a more fruitful home.
