tion at being so honored. Robert

Martha Reardon reported on the
Festival, stating that she sees de
finite progress in the development
of the native sports which have
been dying out and which the
Festival is trying hard to revive
before it is too late and the special
arts are lost. She believes that some
of the handicaps have been over
come and better cooperation can
be hoped for in future events.
Sen. Lester Bronson called atten
tion to the fact that 11 commu
nities have taken the necessary
steps to acquire the offshore lands

not among them. He also called
attention to the fact that 15 Es
kimo scholarships were available
and to date only five applications
were on hand. These scholarships
were set up, he stated, several
years ago to encourage children
of Eskimo extraction to become
teachers and he hopes more young
people who are eligible will avail
themselves of the help being given
by the state.
