North Dakota.......- THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) <i NO ONE KNOWS At the North Pole, the: thermometer never drops lower than 60 degrees below zero. Fre- quently it gets that cold in our northwestern states and southern Canada. Havre, Mont., once registered 68 below zero, the coldest ever recorded in the United States. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic explorer, makes the comparison, in his lectures exploding popular beliefs about the supposed frigidity of the Far North. ¢; ells eye In noetheen Alaska and Canada, along the shores of the Arctic Ocean, the snowfall is so light that if you scattered 100 walnuts on the, ground in autumn you’d be able to count 90 of \them, sticking out of the snow, at any-time during the winter.~ = hs ae : ) The record snowfall in the United States was nearly 74 feet. This occurred 15 years’ ago at ‘Tamarack, in’ the Sierra Nevada Mountains’ of California. i In the Klondike gold rush, more prospectors died of summer sunstroke in Dawson than per- ished in winter cold. of ; Stefansson thinks that by 1970 Americans will be eating 50,000,000 pounds of reindeer meat-a year, shipped from the Far North. Central Alaska | soon will be growing all the wheat it needs. Stefansson believes the Arctic Circle is a com- ing country. He says itis possible for a tramp to hobo his way to the North Pole and back, carry- ing only a harpoon, using seal meat for food and seal fat for fuel. Stefansson’s theory is that popular fallacies, about the Far: North being a solid iceherg, are _ part of the false knowledge inherited from the ancient Greeks. a eas i These fallacies have been handed down to us by a chain of textbook writers who re-wrote the “old stuff,” posing as authorities on the Far North4 though they never were there to check up. How much of our supposed knowledge in other | fields is really misinformation inherited from the ignorance of lohg ago?, °°» é When father’ went to school, he was taught that parallel lines, indefinitely prolonged, never meet. Einstein proves. that; parallel lines do meet . Transmutation of metals was universally. ac- cepted as impossible a few years ago. Now some scientist say they’ll soon be turning lead into gold, though the cost may be prohibitive. a Men used to be imprisoned for saying that the earth is round, not flat.
