Survival on the River Film
Showing Sponsored by Lions
An outstanding movie, Survival
on the River, accompanied by a
lecture by the film’s author, Odd
Bjerke, will be presented in Ver­
nonia the evening of March 18 at
7:30 p.m. at the Washington grade
school under sponsorship of the
Vernonia Lions club, according to
an announcement made this week.
The film presentation seeks to
fulfill two purposes, the giving of
outstanding information on sur­
vival through the media of a thrill­
ing film, and to raise funds for the
Explorer Scout post which the club
has voted to sponsor.
Tickets are $1.00 for adults, 50
cents for students and $2.50 for
families.
To give a brief preview of the
treat in store for those who attend,
the following information is given
about the film:
“The ominous rumble of the
great rapids sounds louder in the
ears of the two weary bearded
men as their small raft, caught in
the vice like grip of the current,
sweeps inescapably closer to the
seething maelstrom of white water.
Straining at their oars, they search
the river ahead with questioning
eyes, seeking a passage through
the foaming breakers and glisten­
ing boulders, that reach hungrily
for the frail raft and its human
cargo.”
This is just one of the many such
ordeals these men faced on their
long 500 mile river journey through
the heart of America’s last great
wilderness, for the Salmon River,
the legendary “ River of No Re­
turn” , tests to the utmost the skill,
courage and endurance of the man
who will accept its challenge.
This challenge of the river and
the wilderness was accepted on a
sunny day in August, by a two man
party, under the leadership of Mr.
Odd Bjerke and for 43 days they
traveled down the Salmon River,
pounded sickeningly at times by
roaring rapids, rocked gently on
sun drenched riffles at others, and
throughout the journey their cam­
eras were rolling, thereby record­
ing in full color, one of the finest
educational - adventure films of
our times.
This was not an ordinary jour­
ney, for the men took no food with
them. Their only possessions be­
sides their raft, camera equipment
and sleeping bags was a small
survival kit consisting of a few dry
flies, a bit of copper wire for
snares and 8 feet of leader mater­
ial. Their only food would be that
which nature provided, for Mr.
Bjerke, an ecologist and global
survival specialist with long exper­
ience in the Arctic, as a British
Commando in World War II and
later as an instructor in survival
training for the U. S. Air Force
and one of the leaders of the
American Greenland expedition
of 1956-1957, was interested in dem­
onstrating that man need not per­
ish if lost or forced down in the
wilderness.
Each year lost hunters, fisher­
men or campers perish before help
arrives, for the chief reason that
they do not know how to live off
the land. In his film, Mr. Bjerke
clearly illustrates how such trag­
edies can be avoided. He shows
what plants are edible and how to
prepare them. The Stinging Nettle
and Mormon Lily may be eaten.
The Thorn Apple and Wild Rose
will give nourishment.
