COLLEGE PAIR TRIES
LIFE IN AN IGLOO
I Life in a wooden igloo beat the
j housing and fuel bill problems
I both, for one young University of
Alaska couple last winter. The
pair, Mr. and Mrs. Wen'dell Os
walt, spent the summer of 1947
in archaeological work along the
Kobuk River. While there, they
were impressed with the warmth
of Esk:mo huts built partly un
derground.
Last winter, when the Oswalts
could find no place to live at Col -
lege, they remembered the Eski
mo houses and decided to build
one for themselves. They dug a
pit in a hillside near college,
added a wooden roof and floor,
and moved in.
The net result was a rent-free
winter with a total fuel bill of
only $40. Most Fairbanks families
pay an average of $40 a month for
fuel during the winter months.

He estimated that 80 per cent of
