PAGE. SIX Ardtic Has An Empire; Here's Why BY JACK STINNETT WASHINGTON The v im- pertance of uranium in a suddenly atom-conscience world as well as the charting of the world airways of tomorrow is centering attention on the last frontier of this contin- ent Canada's northwest terri- tories The Canadian and United States governments are now carrying out experiments to provide fensé measures for the gions. Both air and ground forces now are going into this vast, almost uncharted area to determine what tomorrow will be like there if it becomes as important to science and aviation as it now appears certain to. According to the graphic Society which knows all about such unknown places, this great expanse extends from Baffin Bay and Davis Strait on the Paci- fic to the Yukon, which borders Alaska on the west. Incidentally, the area also includes Yellowknife, scene of Canada’s latest gold boom. On the north is the Arctic Ocean, with Canada’s Franklin district, a jumble of islands. On the South are British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. In this million square miles of land and water live between 11,000 and 12,000 persons, mostly Indians and Eskimos. Aside from trading posts, missions, police barracks, and a very few native villages, there are no centers of population. Names you may come to know are Mackenzie, Stikine, Ogilive and Richardson, which are the moun- tain ranges in the west that level off into an extension of our own great plains. To the east there plains become the great treeless Laurentian upland, broken by the vast Hudson Bay which dips all the day down into Ottawa and Quebec. Lakes (Great Bear Lake is bigger than Massachusetts) and rivers are all over the place, but there are no railroads or highways. Mid- winter average temperatures about 20 degrees below zero. In summer the average is scmewhere around 50 degrees.

Management and administration of the affairs are vested in the Central Com- mittee, consisting of eighteen mem- bers who serve without remunera- tion, six being appointed by the President of the United States, six by the incorporators and six eiet od by the Chapter delegates; one of whom appoirted by the Presi- dent is named chairman and the others represent the State, Treas- ury, War Justice and Navy De- partments. The President of the United States is ex-officio Presi- dent of the American Red Cross Before our entry into the second World War the American Federa- tion of Labor and the Congress of industrial Organization, represent- ing forty million people began a plan to meet their wartime welfare rams independently to their ‘memberships. After our entry mto t-e war the two Labor War Relief Committees agreed to merge their proposed fund raising activities in- to those of the National War Pund and the American Red Cross. The staffs of the two committees b the best means of actual solici tion of funds from the ranks of lay as Red Or volunteers made the solicitations. It was agreed in 1942 that for ac- tual expenses incurred by the La- hor Relief Committees would be prorated between the National War Fund and the A.R.C. and reimbur ed on an annual basis of approxi- mately two thirds by the former and one third by the latter. The extensive labor press with more than 800 publications gave wide <pread publicity to the agreement. The actual solicitations were made by union volunteer workers to the membership. During the 1945 cam- paign over $30,000,000 was turned aver to the AR.C. from these con- tributions for which the Union War Pelief Committees were repaid $238,308.83 for actual expenses in- curred by them for the campaign of that year. Experience has demonstrated the soundness of the plan, for it broad- ened the base of participation in Red Cross services and resulted in the general financial support. of the Red Cross by organized labor | and their families, by contributing greatly to the i ni four Red o or My spirits cheer as home I near, A thought warms my chilled body, In anticipation of a grand libation, A wintertime hot toddy. \ Wilson Kelley The touch-of-quality, is definitely ron Old Thompson because it's lended in Kentucky by Glenmore.

BOAT OWNERS, COUNCIL MEET The Douglas City Council met Frigay evening with boat owners, ! at the fishermens’ request, that bet- ter harbor facilities be provided for tnem on Douglas Island. Forty| or more boat; owners and fishermen ; were present at the meeting, urging the City of Douglas to take immed- jate action, in securing a small | boat harbor for Island fishermen. Many reasons were brought out from the floor, stressing the need for the harbor, but most important being that, they now must own cars to make the six mile round trip, or depend on transportation that is not always available, thereby not being able to give their boats the care and attention needed, The boatmen = presented the Council with a signed petition stat- ing their opinions and asking im- mediate action by the City Fathers.
