PT. BARROW NEWSAdult Education MakesBig Hit at Pt. Barrow1By Guy Okakok Polar Bear HuntersBARROW, November 15. — Discussion was heard this afternoon from different hunters in Barrow. Hunters who do hunt daily, weather permitting, and they who never stay home said, “It's about time for us hunters to take action, because we were taught to hunt for food and the game we caught was stowed away neatly for our own use.'The hunters in planes are coming next spring and you people know very well that we don't raise crops like the outsiders do. Why don't we make a strong rule here, not a backsliding rule? You all know that the bear hunters will come in to hunt polar bear next spring.'1One Eskimo hunter said, the only income we get is from the hides, meaning polar bear skin, and we need these badly.If the hunters want to hunt polar bears, they should either hire a native guide, or follow them out on the ice like we do. We don't want any hunters to hunt, or see them hunt from a plane. This way, they said, no one will say anything about this. Let's all keep this rule in a brotherly way, so we all can go on well.Let's all hope that this will be remembered during this coming season. It's not going to be an easy one, like it was before.- We all like to hunt, all of us. Let's keep it that way.Adtolt EducationTalking about adult education, there's a class going on here in Barrow school. The oldest student of these adults is 60 years old, and he is doing very well.
