BISHOP MARSH:
Canada's Eskimos ,
Are In Danger of j
Beeoming ‘Bums’
TORONTO (iP — Canada’s Es
kimos are in danger of being turn
ed into a race of bums, says the
Rt. Rev. Donald Marsh, Bishop of
the Arctic.
Bishop Marsh, whose 37-year
ministry with the Angelican 1
Church has been served in the *
north, returned from an air tour
of his vast diocese expressing c
worry about the difficulty the Es- 'c
kimo is having adapting to a r
changing world.
“Many Eskimos today are living 1
on relief,” he told a reporter. '
“There is no economy for them— 1
their economy was hunting but if s
you gather them into the settle- *
ments they can’t hunt.” 1
Some work for the government
at good wages, but their neighbors ‘
may be on relief, he says.
The once self-reliant great hunt- 1
ers of the north today are gathered ’
into government-sponsored settle
ments for “schooling” to prepare '
them for a changing world. Says
Bishop Marsh: <
“I won’t call it education—they ;
used to get education from their
children down south. It is good
:'or a child if he is going to live
outside but what use is it to hirn
in this country?
“There may be a time, when
the mines come into the north,
then this schooling may be useful
but at present it is creating bums.”
The problem is immediate, the
bishop adds:
“It is no use talking about 20
to 30 years from now. "When a
child comes home from school he
also goes on relief, as his parents
expect him to live like a white
man and he can’t at present.
“Because you put a pair of pants
and a shirt on him, you can’t
expect him to be a white man, not
until you can change his thinking.”
Asked what the answer to this
problem is, the stocky, plain
spoken churchman said:
“If we had it we’d be working
it. All we can do is help the in
dividual retain his self-respect and
feel that he has a part to play in
a life that is worthwhile.
“This is the work of the church.
Once he loses self-respect he is
finished. This is why we won’t
build a church for the Eskimo.
They must build it themselves and
they are glad and proud of it.”
The bishop says Eskimos now
regard relief as their right. They
used to regard it as a welcome
gift.
“It’s the acceptance by the Es
kimo of the white man’s modern
outlook. They have come to de
pend on relief. You can’t take it
back now.”
Disease is another problem
facing the Eskimo, but Bishop
Marsh emphasized that the Depart
ment of Health is saving lives with
modern medicine and treatment.

Egan Visits Japanese
Canning Factories
TOKYO UP* — Visiting Gov. Wm.
Egan of Alaska and his wife Sat
urday visited canning factories at
the Taiyo Gyogyo, one of Japan’s
largest fishery companies, at Tsu
kishima and Ecujima in the Tokyo
Bay.
The governor’s party then drove
to the semi-government Japan
Broadcasting Co. (NHK» where
they inspected television and radio
facilities and other communica
tions setups.
At noon, the Egans were guests
at a luncheon hosted by NHK at
an exclusive Japanese restaurant
near the Diet (Parliament* Bldg.
The governor once again re
turned to the NHK studio for a
video tape interview by professor
Misao Watanabe of Meiji Univer
sity. The interview will be na
tionally televised over the NHK
network in a few days.
Later, the chief of the 49th
State enjoyed a performance of
Japan’s ancient Kabuki, tradition
al plays, at the Kabbuki Theater
in downtown Tokyo.
In the evening, the Egans were
honored at a private dinner given
bv the officials of the Alaska Pulp
Co. at Hotel Okura where they
are staying.
Pioneer Bush Pilot
Frank Pollack Passes
SEATTLE — Word has been
received here of the death recently
of Frank Pollack, 56, one of Alas
ka’s pioneer bush pilots.
He died of a heart attack in
Aberdeen, where he was operating
a motel.
The colorful pilot was bom in
Helena, Mont. Before going to
Alaska he lived in Tacoma, where
he attended Lincoln High School
and the College of Puget Sound.
In 1932 Mr. Pollack opened a
flying service in Valdez. His stu
dents included Wm. Egan, now
governor of Alaska.
During this time Pollack also
performed high-altitude flying —
without oxygen — for the Weather
Bureau in Alaska.
For the next 15 years Pollack
built his flying service into one
of the most thriving bush lines in
Alaska, with flights from Fair
banks into every point of the in
terior and the Yukon. He also
participated in several daring res
cue missions.
He later was an organizer of
Northern Consolidated Airlines,
Inc., in Alaska. In 1950 he sold his
interest in the line and retired
from flying.
Eskimos in Bishop Marsh’s 2,250,
000-square-mile diocese. Last fall
there was a heavy measles death
rate in eastern Baffin Island —
“They just don’t have a natural
immunity to diseases picked up
through contact with civilization.”
Bishop Marsh says the church
has made a great advance in the
last few years. Missionaries are
trying to make the Eskimo feel he
is part of the church at large and
in settlements Eskimos now build,
manage and look after their own
churches.
“The main answer to the Eski
mo’s problems is to have him do
the work himself,” says Bishop
Marsh. “He is capable and we let
him take the lead, and show him
we trust him.”
