[Miss Amelia Hl“ Fretting Over Plane Delay n Juneau Vep e } Mcst people who go home for | Christmas, go south, but Miss Amelia Hill, Episcopalian m lary, with a twinkle in her eye, | going north for her Christmas. | And most pecple go some place |for Christmas you can pronounce. Miss Hill is going to Allakaket on the Koyukuk River, two hours slead} flight north from Fairbanks {to a point on the map that is crossed precisely by the dotted path of the Arctic Circle. Miss Hill, a smil mild man- nered woman with a pleasant Irish brogue, has been a nurse at Alla- kaket since 1922 with her co- worker, Miss Bessie Kay, a teache The two women are the on white women at the settlement and their neighbors are principally In- dians and Eskimos. Miss Kay is alone at the mission now, and Miss Hill, who has been on leave since la June, is waiting for a break in the weather so she can fly to their mi: n and join Miss Kay for Christmas “I don’t know W don’t get home befc hed Miss Hill. “Bessie must ribly lonesome — and we have such a good time on Christmas. “The Indians and the Eskimos always bring in a big tree and de orate it themselves — prospeciors and everybody come from miles around for a big community song fest on Christmas day—and we have such a good time!” The Episcopalian mission at Al- lakaket is known as St. John's in the Wilderness. It was founded by Arch~Dl‘acon Hudson Stuck in 1907 land soon afterwards, the native population clamored for school |teachers and nurses. | several nurses and teachers pre- |ceded Miss Hill and Miss Kay, but, ‘Lhey have stuck it out since 1922. “Yes, we really like it up there,” !said Miss Hill in the lobby of the Gastineau Hotel, where she is stay- ing. “I came from Ireland a few |years befcre I went to Allakaket, ibut I meet Norwegians, Irish, Swed- 1=h. French—all nationalities there. It does not seem so far from home because of that. The North seems to call them from all corners of the earth—and it’s hard not to an- swer that call.” Miss Hill's favorite hobby is not one that you'd expect of a mission- ary. It is nothing other than the genteel art of fly fishing. “We have all kinds of grayling, ,and they take a fly fine,” Miss Hill laughed. “The best bait, though, are these little bone hooks with no bait. The Eskimos used them a hundred years ago, I guess, and they are still the best lure of all.” Next summer, Miss Hill hopes to fly somewhere where she can get some good trout fishing. Right now, she wants to get home for Christ- is hat I'll do if I Christm TEACHERS RELAX If the weather breaks, she will board a PAA plane here, transfer at Fairbanks to a plane piloted by Noel Wien—seven and a half hours travel from Juneau—but 17 days a few years ago when all travel was y boat in the summer time and by dog team in the winter. e ROBOT WORKING, PHONE 114 LUMBER Juneau Lumber Mills, Inc.
