Huge Icebox for
Little Diomede
SEATTLE <*) — A huge icebox
will go north to Little Diomede
Island Eskimos soon.
The North Star III, Bureau of
Indian Affairs ship, will take the
gift to the Bering Sea Arctic out
post, just acress the International
Dateline from Russian-owned Big
Diomede. It is in or near the ice
pack most of the year.
Explained the Rev. James Flynn,
one of three whites among the 89
Eskimos on the island, Saturday:
“For meat we have walrus, seal,
whale and polar bear.
“On the mainland people have
permafrost whieh makes it possible
to keep meat in warm summer
weather. They just dig a hole.
(Permafrost is earth which always
remains frozen, in the summer a
foot or more below the surface.)
“Little Diomede is a solid rock.
Meat spoils when the weather gets
warm. We call it ‘stink meat’. But
that’s what people have to eat.”
Little Diomede is 200 miles
northwest of Nome and is “cut
off” most of the year, he said. Few
boats go there and few airplanes
either, because of the rocky ter
rain. Ski planes sometimes sit
down on nearby ice.
Four U.S. firms have contributed
the big refrigerator and a portable
generator and arranged for its
transportation here. The U.S. Air
Force is also aiding.
The 40 by 12 foot refrigerator
will hold a whole lot of walrus,
seal or polar bear, or enough to
help the village greatly.
Sharp Bread Knife . . .
SKIEN, Norway U!) — Two pri
soners in the local jail hacked their
way through three layers of bricks
with a bread knife Friday and es
caped on a motorcycle.
Police said the jail needs more
bricks or more guards.
