"But six weeks was enough. We were anxious to get back." Unlike most Dawson women, Mrs. Gray is noi a curling en- thusiart, although curling is the chief winter pastime She shares her husband's in- terest Jn music and motion pic- ture photography, likes to sketch and led her garden when she has a spare minute and to visit with friends. FOOD COSTS HIGH As with housewivey anywhere else, the cost of unning the home Is one of Mrs. Gray's peeves. "1 think food costs here ave out of line, but 90 per cent of the people buy thelr food outside and have it sont in," A Wilietorse supermarket, | "with prices close to those in| Vancouver," maker two deliver-| ies by truck to Dawson each! week, It costs three cents a pound to have oiders filled and delivered 350 mile "For example, tomatoes are 70-85 conts a pound package here, but the Whitehorse pricy is around 30 cents, They ean be brought 'n for three cents more a package," Despite high food and heating costs, the modest homes -- fow new ones have been built in re cont years--sport freezers and stoves and cellars stocked with food ordered In case lots from Whitehorse or Vancouver.

A good lunar aspect is ex- tremely generous where family relationships are concerned. FOR THE BIRTHDAY If tomorrow is your birthday, the next- three months should bring job progress and consider- able improvement in your finan- cial status. The occupational headway may involve additional responsibilities but, rather than finding them burdensome, you should feel stimulated at the chal- lenge to step ahead. The accumu- lation of cash between now and the end of December is extremely likely, and another good period along monetary lines is indicated in mid-1960. December and January Sy " - WE :.
