OPERATION MUSK-OX : At/. â- â- â- -^^. % •.;>'». '2- ' " W-^ Starting out iruiii Cliurchill, Manitoba, on F'eb. 14, it force of Canadian army personnel will begin a :i,I(iO-niilc-long journey into the frozen and, for the most part, tree- les- Western Arctic. Ihe expedi- tion, known as "Exercise Musk- Ox," will test new equipment specially designed for winter travel under extreme conditions, and is ex- pected to unearth, as well, informa- tion that will be invaluable in the future develojjuicnt of the Arctic's mining, trapping and fishing possi- bilities. The above map, prepared by the ofticial cartographer of The Canadian Geographical Society, shows the route to be followed. "Kxercise Musk-Ox" will test three new techniques which, if found suitable, will greatly affect future travel in the Arctic. These will be the long-range performance of snowmobiles, transportation of supplies by air, and the use of radar and astro-navigation devices in the hitherto unnavigable areas around the magnetic pole. Previous army cScpedilions al- ready have resulted in improving methods of travel and living in the north and, in addition, much valu- able data will be made available for future military operations should they become necessary. From Baker Lake, where an ad- vance meteorological and air base has already been established for the expedition to the Arctic Ocean, the route will cross ^ome of the least- known parts of Canada, all of which are unmapped, with the exception of Back River. This 500-mile long river has been travelled but twice â€" • by Captain Back in 1834 and by two Hudson's Bay Company men in 1855. "Exercise Musk-Ox" will reach the Arctic Coast at Perry River, where an Esl.imo operates a trad- ing-post, will then cross 100 miles of frozen ocean to reach Cambridge Bay, where the R.C.M.P. schooner "St. Roch" is now wintering, and subsequently follow the south coast from Victoria Island for 250 miles tr> Coppermine. From there it will travel overland to strike the first trees near Port Radium. Early in May it is scheduled to reach the Alaska Highway and then follow the 700-mile stretch from Fort Nelson to Edmonton. THE INSIDE ON HOCKEY By ED. FITKIN The hockey world was Maurice Richard's oyster last season when the roust Montreal Canadien sew was shattering all previous pro hockey scoring records with his amazing total of 50 goals. But just recently, Maurice sadly sighed: "The worst thing I ever did was to score those 50 goals." « * * What he meant by that, of course, is tliat he has become a marked man, tl'.at rival clubs put their toughest checkers on his tail, and that tilt road to the goal no long?r is a path of glory. Under this in- cessant hounding, Richard seems to have developed a pettiness that is proving costly to Canadiens in the way of penalties. Recently one MoMlreal writer asked this ques- ion: "Mhen is Richard goinp t; quit beinv a chump drawinp those sucker penalties?" * * * The moral to this, of course, is that fame is fleeting. Richard was a champ last year and a chump this season. No longer do those avid Habitant routers couple his name with the great Morenz. Even among the l-ockcy men who guide the N. II. L. teams there seems to have developed a change of heart re- garding Richard. "After all," one coach told me recently, "Richard scored all those goals against war- linic liockcy players who certainly weren't up to N. l\. L. standards. Now that the good players arc back from the services, he is just an ordinary player" « * * When Doug Bcntley was in- jured, one Chicago writer went fa- cetious on h's public and worried that the stadium would be filled for a hockey game and the Hawks wouldn't put in an appearance â€" be- cause they had no one to lead them onto the ice . Doug, as you may know, succeeded Mush March as the leader of the Hawk parade into battle this season . . . The Chi Hobby Develops Into Business .â- \ hobby of bee-kce|>ing has been liMiied into thrivitig, profitable fausinos by C. Murdcn Johnson, :i local resident, and his example fURgcsis that others might tii.n their hobbies into a business and pet good financial returns, says The Niagara I'alls Review. From a •ingle swarm of bees, Mr. John- eon, a nature student, has develop- ed the biggest bee-keeping busi- ness in the Niagara Peninsula with »plen<lid financial returns. Tho original colony now has expanded Into n;."! colonies of hers and a llone.\ business worth (30,000. Willi.) people likewise have hobbies that could be converted into profit- able business ventures. scribe's problem was solved, how- ever, when Max Bentley took over the leadership job. Babe Pratt, always popular with the sportswriters, is getting plen'y of what the hockey players call "favorable ink" from the men who pound typewriters. Public sentiment is also on Pratt's side. His appeal will likely be heard at the Board o' Governors' meeting in New York on Feb. 15, and unless there is more evidence in the case than has been preseiited, the feeling is that Pratt still has a chance to evade such a drastic sentence. While big Babe is the first pro hockey player to be expelled for gambling, be is not the first to be banished from the game. Billy Coutu, a star with Boston Bruins, was expelled from hockey for life for an after-game attack on Re- feree Jerry I.aflamme back in 1!)27. « * * Don Gallingcr, the Port Colborne product who is doing such con- sistent sniping for Boston, scored ruins' first goal of the seaon and also the lOOtli. Speaking of th« B'ars, little Kenny Smith has done a capable pinch-hitting chore for Bill Cowley and Art Ross says: "If that kid only had 20 more pounds, he'd be a corker." Turk Itroda, back with the Leafs, is in splendid physical shape, played ovei 30 game in iMigland before hs came back and looks exceptionally sharp for a goalie who has been out of big time competition for so long. (Editor's Note: Ed Fitkin, con- ductor of this column, can be iieard each Sunday afternoon at •J.3S over C-H-U-M (lO.SO) dis- liensing breezy, dramatic and enter- l.-iining stories on "The Inside on Sports." Mr. I'itkin-addrcss, Maple Leaf Gardens Toronto â€" will be glad to answers questions about the players and the game). Ratepayers Vote Cash For Veterans By a vote oi 337 to 219 ratepay < rs of Brooke Township gave war veterans $100 each for five years, with $10U down right now in ad- dition. It made one mill on the dollar extra in taxation for the farming community. There is some- thing pretty fine about that vote. The cduiuil did not do it on 'ts own; It left the idea to the taxpay- irs and they did not welch. -â€"St. Catherines Standard. fpiHiEutsnior ^^^^ay^mmmnt STOPS COUGHS Costs of Strikes In Relationship To Rewards Worker, Employer, Consumer â€" AH Groups Suffer Loss Strikes are costly to all groups in the community, says the New York Times. fhc worker suffers a loss of income. The employer has reduced profits. The consumer suffers inconvenience and musit forego products urgently desired. This is all so obvious that it scarcely needs repetition. What is less obvious is that the cost in- volved is often excessively great in relationship, to the rewards to be won. ( » ♦ * An illustration is found in the cost of the present steel strike to the workers. I'lie companies have offered an increase of 15 cents an hour, which would be the largest increase ever received by these workers. This strike has been call- ed to obtain an additional V/2 cents an hour. If the 15-cent offer were accepted, steel workers would earn about $1.:39 an hour. <^r\ the basis of their own demands they would earn $1.3254 an hour. * * * Every hour's work that is lost because of the insistence upon an additional V/2 cents an hour costs the steel worker at least $1.20. It would take him thirty-seven hours of work at the additional ZYi cents an hour to make up for the loss of one hour's pay of $1.29. In other words, if the steel worker is unem- ployed for one forty-hour week it will take him thirty-seven full weeks at the higher rate to make up for the lost time. If the strike lasts for two weeks it will take seventy-four weeks to make up for the time lost. If the strik- ers were out for a month, it would take 148 weeks, or almost three full j-ears, before the earnings lost dur- ing the strike were recouped. « V « These figures, of course, do not in themselves establish the merit of the offer made by the steel companies. They do not in them- selves disprove AL-. Murray's claim that more could have been paid. , But they do call attention to a factor which :s frequently lost sight of, when union labor rejects a major gain in tavor of a strike.
