from southern baffin island i during the past five years the opening of a trading post at dund harbou on d i by the hudsons bay company marked the first group movement of i the eskimos to the northern arctic attracted by the possibilities of bet- tor hunting 11 families of eskimos jfrom baffin island volunteered to settle on devon island and bunt in part of the arctic aland preserve created for them by the government in 1030 the transfer of these na tives was completed in 1034 when the eastern arctic patrol made its annual cruise aboard the nascople after a two years trial the trading post on devon island was closed and at their own request arrangements were made to return the eskimos to baffin island in september 1938 the 11 famines m homesick men women and chft- dren with 183 dogs boats kayaks tents and other belongings were moved to arctic bay on baffin is land from which point they were to be returned to their homes in dorset pangnirtung and ponddnlet how- i ever large herds of seals sighted i durmgtthe voyage down admiralty i inlet made the eskimos forget their loneliness and they asked to be left at arctic bay where a plentiful supply of game was evident siirresa crowned the efforts of the natives to establish themselves in the vicinity of arctic bay with the result that during the winter the wireless operator at arctic bay sent a message on behalf of two of the eskimos inviting their relatives at cape dorset and lake harbour on hudsonsbrait morethan qojbmues to the south to come north to bet ter hunting grounds these invita tions were accepted and four

games and then down through the middle ages when armored knights tested their skill in tournaments today steel is more prominent than ever in sports and games and every year millions of pounds of steel are bought in the form of sport and recreation equipment when many modern sports were de veloped wood and leather were used widely but the trend is now toward steel where speed strength and safety are important golf a game in which little steel was once used in 1938 absorbed about 1069000 pounds in the manu facture of new golf clubs exclusive of other uses on the golf courses of the total for golf clubs 176 000 pounds of steel were used for the shafts of wood headed clubs while 804000 pounds were used for the si afts and heads of irons on the golf courses indeterminate amounts of steel were used for pins to mark the steel cups and for watering equipment pails mowers and oth er machinery for upkeep the report points out at present 360 of every 1 000 persons living in the united states are 40 years old or over and it is estimated that 36 per cent of the population will be between 40 and 68 years old by i960 this is what prompts the finding that industrial adjustment to this
