ARCTIC SURVIVAL AND
PRECAUTIONS—Continued
Care of Self
(f) The possibility of frost-bite,
its prevention and care, must
ever be borne in mind. The ex
tremities are most likely to be
come frost bitten, and if a person
is alone, particular care should
be exerted to prevent frost-bite.
Under windy conditions, parts
of the face may become frost
bitten, inflicting considerable
damage before a person becomes
aware of the trouble. Usually
there is no pain attach d to sur
face freezing. The freezing pro
cess itself acts as an anesthetic
to the damaged parts.
Body heat is the best source
of relief, when caught soon
enough. Th. n extra body heat
requirements may be obtained
by exercise, better protection of
the head, face and neck, and by
the immediate direct application
of body warmth, such as warm
hands to the face or nose.
In the case of freezing feet,
damp foot-gear must be re
moved, and if other gear is not
available, wrap the feet in any
thing which is dry.
Frost-bitten or frozen parts
should never be rubbed or cov
ered with snow. Any rubbing
either with snow or any other
material may severely damage
tissues which are already dam
aged. Insofar as the application
of snow is concerned, a little re
flection will show that if the air
temperature of thirty-five below
caused frost-bite, the application
of snow of the same temperature
will merely extend the affected
area.
if Ihi' damage occurs in the
open, and warm shelter is not
available, fire, clothing, exercise
and body heat from another per
son are the only means for re
lief.
In warm shelter, the use of
cool water will bring about a
less painful return to normal
than the use of warm water.
There is some probability that
warm water may cause damage;
and hot wat. r will damage the
tissues, because the lack of
blood circulation will not dissi
pate the heat.
THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL
APPROPRIATION BILL
BEFORE HOUSE
The third supplemental appro
priation bill for the 1952 fiscal
year now before the House con
tains $1,125,000 for the Alaska
Housing Authority revolving

million authorized in the f» 1st
Congress to provide additional
housing in Alaska. To date $12,
875,000 has been made available.
Commitments of the sum al
ready allowed total over $12 mil

construction loans on 895 hous
ing units, secondary financing to
complete an additional 258 units,
and so-called character loans

BOB HOPE is the country's leading
expert on pies. He's had more pies
thrown at him than any other comedian,
and he’s tasted them all—while wiping
them off his chin. Dob, who is soon to
be seen in Paramount’s “My Favorite
Spy” has a favorite pie—vanilla custard.
It’s a delicious pastry and economical
too. “Make one,” suggests Bob, “And try
it on your husband.” Serve it, of course.
Don’t throw it! Here’s the recipe:
Roll the pie crust to Pa-inch thickness and 2 inches larger than
the diameter of the plate. Line a 9-inch pie plate with this pie
crust, fitting it loosely. Fold back the edge of the pie crust all
the way around and bring this double fold to an upright position.
Flute the double fold of pie crust in the following manner: Place
the floured tip or knuckle of the index finger of the right hand
against the fold on the inside of the pie crust rim, so that it is
between the tips of the thumb and index finger of the left hand,
which are on the outside of the pie crust rim. Pinch gently, then
remove the fingers and continue this same fluting motion around
the entire rim of the pie.
Combine the eggs, sugar and salt. Add the milk and vanilla,
and pour into the pastry shell. Bake at 45CP F. in a preheated
■ oven for 00 to 40 minutes or until a silver knife inserted in the
• center comes out chan. [K
