But some {cf the white authorities on the is- land didn’t like the idea. .. " Is Confirmed Baechelor A confirmed bacheloy himself, Levin has spent 13 summers in Al- aska and believes he has visited every Eskimo village on the Arctic ccast. He holds bachelor’s and master’s of science degrees in ge- | ‘olcvy from Stanford University and flast year tcok a special course at ‘Snnta Clara University in labora- | itory technique. “If white men used half as much | !sense in picking their brides, the race would be a lot better off.” he| |stated emphatically, blithely dis- 1egardmg his state of single bless- |edness. “If an Eskimo doesn’t pick la strong wife it’s the start of a poor future. Wives must skin the wnl-} ruses and seals, dry the mukluks |and parkas after the hunter comes |home and do much of the hezwyi |work. Even at that, the average| |King Islander usually survives two| wiv | Plant Vitamins ;, In the new island laboratory | where he assisted Dr. Levine, Levin | |specialized in ascertaining the vi-| tamin content of the many native | foods which the Islanders have not previcusly utilized. He found 13 plants, the leaves of which offered strong supplies of vitamins, but of which the natives previously used lonly three. “We induced them to eat of these cther plants and the results were |wenderful. Those leaves are high {in Vitamin C, one of the elements whieh their diets screly lack. Now they have great stores of these greens packed away for the winter —in sealskin pokes and covered with seal oil or cured in vats of seawater, like sauerkraut.” Sealion Liver {_ Another Vitamin C source, never before utilized by the Islanders, is the liver of the sealion. Tests run by Dr. Levine showed the liver con- tains almost 50 per cent Vitamin C —and Levin promptly persuaded the Eskimos to add grilled sealion livers | to their menus. Murres and saraguts | —Sea . birds—are also appearing on the King Island dinner table in place of seal fat, which is compara- | tively lacking in vitamin content. . Next year, Levin said, he and Dr. Levine will return to the island to| complete their investigation of Es- | kimo blood types and groups and | then move to Little Diomede Island, where they will continue the work. Levin, who travelleed from Nome to Ketchikan on the U. 8. C. G. At- alanta, arrived in Juneau today on the Institute I, Wrangell Institute mctorship. He plans to make a trip up Taku River before going south.| —————— ' STEP ' to Health with Better Feet. Phone 648. Chiropodist Dr. adv < Food Sale Plans EMPIRE, SATURDAY, SEPT. 20, 1941.
