It all happened at my scheduled lecture on the Evils of Alcoholism at the Ladies’ True Blue Guild and Bowling Club last Thursday night. I was so engrossed in what I was about to say that I paid scant heed into which door I was blundering. I was half way through my lec- ture when someone told me that I was addressing Local 49 of the Longshoreman’s Union. I expect to be well again soon at which time this column will again appear regularly.

T could imagine taking the loaf, still hot, putting a pouna of but- ter in it and eating it like & sand- wich,” Mr. Tippits said. During the days the two, Cutting and Tippitts, were seeking rescue, Joseph Tippits, one of four sur-! vivors of the Harold Gillam plane crash, is in Juneau this afternoon on his way to his home in An-| chorage where his wife and two- year-old son, John, are awaiting his arrival. Though he is still weak, and feet aching from frostbite, and he requires the use of a walking stick, | Tippits looks surprisingly well for |one who suffered 30 days of being lost in thé Alaska wilderness with- jout food or shelter, during some of the most severe weather exper- |ienced this year. | “All of us lost between 45 and ;60 pounds during the weeks we| were waiting for rescue but we have gained some of it back since being found, said Tippits. “Our feeling when we boarded the Coast Guard vessel which res- cued us was simply indescribable | their only food consisted of three crows, shot with a 22. “We were so hungry we cut them right in two, heart and all, dividing them exactly and ate every bit. Anyone who believes there is anything they can't eat, should experience rea) hunger and then even a crow tastes | like turkey,” Tippits said. During four days, when Cutting went by himself to look for ‘help and Tippits remained with Metz- dorf and Gebo, Tippits read aloud from one of the books he had with him, “Under The Hills” by R. L. Evans. It helped us a lot, he said. Two other books he kept with | him were the Bible and the Book | of Morman. “It made me feel good | to have them with me, though we didn’t read them,” he said. “I can't say too much about the Coast Guard and the wonderrul! care they gave us.
