Dahms, RF Ried, SS ... Totals 0 0 YfcLLOWKNIFE, NORTHWEST TERRITORY.--Under shimmering, brilliantly hued Northern lights today lies a new "ghost town," shell of a bustling community that fought its v way to a dominant position in Canadian mining. This once-pulsating townsite 700 miles north of Edmonton, Alt^., died in childhood because of tne outbreak of war in Europe. Lying in the shadow of the Arctic, Yellowknife began to forge ahead as early as 1935, but in the early days of 1938 hundreds of prospectors, mining engineers, lawyers, doctors and laborers flocked to the new area to seek their fortune in a strange remote setting of effete, rocky wasteland. Strikes, some rich, others less lucrative, were reported every few days. The problem of transportation to and from claims was solved with development of air travel. Droning plane motors resounded over the northern wilderness the year round, except for spring breakup and the fall freezeup period. Town Grows Quickly. Ift two months in 1938 this mining center sprung from a motley assortment of weatherbeaten log shacks and tents to a town of two hotels, five general stores and trading posts, nine restaurants, two bakeries, three airports, a moving picture theater, recreation hall and gymnasium, laundries, barber shops and countless frame buildings. Yellowknife grew orderly, streets were mapped out and plans laid for the construction of roads over and through surrounding rocky hills. And with the employment of modern methods of mining and gold recovery," Yellowknife life grew startlingly reminiscent of the raucous days of the Yukop and Klondike rushes. Rumblings of war threats reached Yellowknife in September, 1938, but were quickly put aside in the thrilling, human, drama-covered panorama of the modern search for easy money. But with the rumblings of war, gold mining stocks slumped. Eventually numerous camps IShut down. Jobs became scarce. Prospectors and their families packed up and started "outside" to seek other means of livelihood. Then Comes the Flop. Business declined to its lowest ebb in the early months of 1939. Approximately half the town's 1,000 inhabitants had gone out. Those who remained hoped against hopa thst spring would bring a revival of the' old boom days. As late as March, 1939, hope was held that Yellowknife would crawl out of the doldrums and move ahead. In the spring, building was started again, plane loads of new prospectors arrived and disappeared into the bush country. The old spirit of optimism prevailed again temporarily, but as war threats persisted--more strongly than ever before--many left a second time. Lack of outside interest prompted many to leave. For the second time within a year* Yellowknife appeared doomed to die. In the rammer of 1939 anxiety increased. Months passed and. anxious, attentive ears listened to the few scattered radio sets for news from the outside world. The situation became increasingly difficult until, with the actual dec* laration of war, the climax was reached. Today the last remaining hope for mining advancement at Yellowknife has virtually disappeared. Skill in Auto Driving It Result of Practice • In the United States, each year sees nearly 1,000,000 brand new motorists take the wheel and begin the process of acquiring skill in driving. Driving is one of the things that can best be learned by doing. To many it comes quite naturally; to others it does not. There is reason to believe that the beginner who. is of a mechanical turn of mind has advantages over the beginner who, lacking mechanical interest, is forced to learn his driving technique entirely by rule. This is* because the mechanicalminded driver understands the reasons for each move, comes to see, subconsciously, the mechanical processes set in motion by his hand or foot, and thinks of his driving in terms of what is happening under the hood. But anyone who will take the trouble to ground himself in certain fundamentals about his car is likely to develop into a safe and skillful operator, whether he happens to be mechanical-minded or not. With modern automobiles, the driver's control over his car is just as complete in ba4 weather as at any other time. But it frequently requires greater skill to exercise this control, and for this reason, the new driver should be extra cautious during the season when rain and hazy weather complicate the task of driving. . • There is no better safety advice than the rule that is now almost axiomatic: Always drive in such a manner that you can stop in the clear space ahead. Many a motorist has thought he was obeying this rule, only to find that the stopping distance on wet pavement, or in slippery leaves, was something quite different from the stopping distance on hard dry pavement. V'PimM. Thursday, July 25,1940 " i - New Style Heating Plant , Operates by 'Direct Ray' A new tyf>e heating system now in the process of development may make possible comfortable winter living in house temperatures ranging (jown to 50 degrees, according to Dr. C. E. A. Winslow of Yale univer sity. Dr. -Winslow terms the new system "the pleasantest and perhaps the most economical form of winter heating for residences." ' He explained that t{ie new method depends on -Tays which cause warmth when *they strike the human body, thus differing from the usual method which depends primarily on warming the air. Most of the> efficiency loss in current heating1 systems is derived from the fact that a large percentage of the heat energy produced1 goes to warm the air rather than the human body. In the new system, the -air temperature can'be a* low ars 90 degrees with perfect comfort to dwellers, because the heart that is generated radiates ^irectly to the human body. Speaking of "the any-cooled human body," D*. Winstow empffresized that the general objective of air-conditioning "is to maintain a> desirable rate of heat loss from the surface of the human body. "What we desire," he sajtf, "is atmospheric conditions which produce an active sense of physical wellbeing such as is experienced on the mountain top or sea beac^i." Although not commercially available: .jb yet, three radiant heating systems are now operating; successfully in and near New Haven and the British have made extensive use' of tha metfcad, he said. das ......

They tried every method known to the medical world but couldn't move it. Slowly the lad failed. He was brought to Victoria hospital here where specialists studied his case. They knew he would die if they could not remove the peanut. But by this time it had grown into the lung. There Was only one chance left. The whole lung might be removed in a delicate operation. But it would be dangerous. Such an operation had never been tried here as far as surgical records showed. The boy is recovering in the hospital after a successful operation. He has only one lung, but it is doing the work of two. Unless some unexpected complications set in the child will make a complete recovery. Atlanta Woman Loses $300 By Frying Her Oysters NEWNAN, GA.--Miss Edith Coleman purchased a pint of oysters from her grocer, who was supplied by an Atlanta house.

Eskimo Reindeer Herders Canada's Eskimos are making good as reindeer herders, says the department ai mines and resources, Ottawa. A roundup shows that a herd placed under native management in December, 1938, has increased about 350 fawns and now totals approximately 1,200 head. Since its transfer to the Anderson' river area, about 150 miles east of the government reindeer station, the native herd has been managed by Eskimo herders, under the supervision of the chief government herder. Establishment of this native herd is another step in Canada's plan to establish reindeer ranching among the Eskimos as a means o# assisting the natives by providing a staple supply of food and clothing. The herd is reported to be in excellent condition and the natives intrusted with its management aretaking a keen interest in the enterprise. Thus Canada's experiment in converting the Eskimos frot» tmoters to herders appears t» be making favorable progress. v.--; • -• Tf Miss Evelyn Neuffer of' Chicago spent the Weekend with Miss Donna- Belle Krohn. \ Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burliegh of Ingleside were guest& in the Albert' Purvey home on Tuesday. ° > Miss Lucia Rose Rausch of Chicago was a McHenry caller this. week.

A menace to the health of every member of the family, back siphonage is best prevented by replacing unsafe fixtures, and examination of the piping system to determine whether it is properly designed. The American Medical association recently issued a warning to state authorities, urging them, to be on the watch for sale of old-: fashioned fixtures, barred from cities, on small villages and rprai communities.
