Point Hope News
Everyone is thinking about the
arrival of the annual supply ship,
the North Star. Food, supplies,
fuel, school materials, and so forth
will arrive — enough to last an
other year. The ship is coming
south from Barrow, Wainwright,
and Pt. Lay.
Mr. Stan Cornelius of BIA
PD&C of Anchorage and Rusty
Sanders of Nome Plant Manage
ment, visited Point Hope on Sept.
14. Don Ferguson flew them here
in Leon Shellabarger’s plane.
The Wainwright Native Store
has 1.000 pounds of ivory to sell for
$2.50 per pound, plus shipping
charges.
The Kenneth Morgan family
went to Golovin instead of to Dio
mede as BIA teachers. That posi
tion opened up when the Perrys
went to Noorvik. Since Diomede
is so isolated, teachers with small
children are placed in other vil- ,
lages when there is a choice. Golo
vin is in the Nome area, near
White Mountain, where the Hoods
are. The Morgans were in Pt.
Hope last year. He was the teacher
for grades 6-8.
Harriet Baldwin, formerly of
Kiana, is staying with her mother,
Mrs. Joe Towsjhea. Harriet lived
in Pt. Hope during the summer
of 1962. She attended Chemawa
School in Oregon, and worked for
awhile in San Francisco, Calif. She
arrived Sept. 6.
Herbert and Laura Kinneeveauk’s j
daughter, Helen, is now living with
her parents in Pt. Hope. She has
three children. She has lived in
Alabama for the past 4 years,
where her husband is stationed in
the Air Force. She is a graduate
of Mt. Edgecumbe High School.
Christopher Tingook went to
Kotzebue Hospital Sept. 13. He has
been very ill. He is 82 years old,
the oldest person in the village.
The Pt. Hope School newspaper
has been called “Northern Lights” |
for a number of years. Since
Shishmaref and Wainwright has
that name, too, the Pt. Hope paper
will be called “Tigara Times.” —
Tigara is the Eskimo name for Pt.
Hope.
Russ Armed with Atom
Subs, Says U.S. Admiral
WEST COVINA, Calif. OP — A
Navy rear admiral says nuclear
powered submarines armed with
missiles capable of delivering
atomic warheads have appeared
in the Soviet fleet.
Rear Adm. Edwin B. Hooper
said Wednesday at a plant dedica
tion that the number of Russian
submarines “will increase and
there will be improvements in both
the subs and their weapon sys
tems.”
“Unfortunately,” he said, “there
is no simple cure-all in hand or
in sight. We must seek solutions
along a broad front.”

'Pre-lab” King Promises Eskimos Snug,
Warm Dwellings Within Budget Reach
By FRANCES P. WALKER
Housing Member, The Advisory
Committee on Economic Develop
ment lo the Governor of Alaska
The nation rocked with laughter
some 25 years ago when New York
comic Jim Moran, as a gag, sold
an ice box to an Alaskan Eskimo.
Today that very same ice box may
well be fitted within one of the
many snug, warm houses that an
other “Jim,” Big Builder James N.
Price, may sell in the near future
to the Eskimos in Alaska! Thus the
problem of housing in rural and
remote Alaskan areas, the tough
est nut under the Arctic sun, has
been cracked wide open at last!
Price, board chairman of the
National Home Corporation, Laf
lyette, Indiana, the company’s larg
est manufacturer of prefabricated
houses, made the announcement in
Anchorage on Sept. 7. He was en
route home with W. Evans Buchan
an, National Association of Home
builders president, and their wives
after a State Department spon
sored trip to the Orient for hous
ing study purposes. Keenly inter
ested in the underhoused peoples
of the world, and well aware of
housing needs in those portions of
Alaska where FHA insured loans
and conventional financing cannot
penetrate, Price stated that he will
adapt National’s new vacation cot
tage to suit the needs of Alaska.
More than that, he is including the
financing! For $75 down and about
$35 per month, any reasonably re
sponsible person may obtain a
comfortable, 600-square-foot home,
no matter where he may live in
this vast state. Title to land will
not be needed, a boon to those who
would like to homestead, take up
homesites or recreation land plots
as well as the thousands in remote

areas who are faced with court
costs to obtain title to lots in vil
lages and small towns of any age.
Freight charges will be added to
the cost of the house and included
in the seven-year pay back plan,
Price explained. A personal signa
ture and a financial statement is
all that will be required in this
mail-order transaction that will be
handled directly between the cus
tomer and National Homes.
Risky? Price isn’t worrying. By
chance, the Eskimo people received
one of the finest recommendations
it is possible to give. Unaware of
Price’s identity, Anchorge business
man Fred Kohli, who supplies mo
vie film to more than 200 villages
and small towns all over Alaska,
told Price that in the 12 years he
has been doing business with the
Eskimos, he has never lost a dime.
In fact, the mechanically clever
Eskimos have aften returned their
rented movie equipment efficient
ly repaired with improvised parts
by improvised tools.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. OP) —
The Air Force Thursday called
off a search for the United States’
first winged spacecraft, which ap
parently sank in the Atlantic
Ocean.
Officials decided after studying
reports from Wednesday’s 19-hour
hunt that possibility of finding
the 1,100-pound payload was re
mote.
A second launching in the ser
ies is scheduled in December.
