C. Wonders. Professor of Geography at University of Toronto, heid the close attention of his audience with an illustrated lecture or Canada's Northern Arctic, at the November meeting of the Wom- en's Canadian Club on Monday afternoon in St. John's Parisi Hall. Dr. Wanders byr his very yauth- fui appearance surprised masi people whose general idea of a professor is, for some reason, a gray headed, long and sober faced man of at least fifty or sixty. Dr. Wonders received his B.A. de- gree at Toronto University, his M. A. at the University of Syra- cuse, and his Ph. D. from To- ronto. He has been a professar at Toronto University for the past four years. He said that he re- membered Bowmanville pleasant- ly for twa things. the Cream of Barley Camp and Miss Hazel Carscadden, a favorite school teacher. He was assîsted on Monday af- ternoon by his wife who teaches cartagraphy in the same depart- ment of the University. She is a native of Portland, Oregon, where she received her B.A. She received hec M. A. at Syracuse and taught for a year at Univer- sity of Washington, and was for two years cartographer in the Secretariat of the United Nations. Introduced by the president, Miss Apha Hodgins, Dr. Won- ders explained that the pictures which he wauld show were taken by himself during a five-month stay fram April ta September 1948 at a weather station on Reso- lute Bay, Cornwallis Island, Which is north of Greenland. Hc e 's emplayed ta make climate 'leld studies by the Defence ,.ard of Canada. This station which hazl only been established the previaus autumn was the farthest north at that time, and was manned jointiy by United States and Canrdian '"Ëgonnel. Prom this base, other stations were established on islands even farther north and north-west, equipment and men being flawn in and lef t ta their own devices for a year. The anly way in whicii the station at Resolute could be reached except for the month of August when the sea is mare or less free of ice, was by air. Dr. Wonders was flown in by way of Frobisher where there was an Eskimo settlement. It was in connection with this settlement that Dr. Wonders ex- pioded one of the comman mis- beliefs about the Arctic. The Es- kimos do flot ordinariiy live ini igloos, he said. They only use them as- temporary homes when on the march. Wherever they are close ta a white settiement, they now buiid small houses of scraps of lumber which they sal- vage from that discaided by the white men. These are poor-look- ing affairs and do flot serve themn weli, but they have generally been adopted by the Eskimas. On Resolute, there were nc Eskimos. The Eskimos ail live farther ta the sauth. The isiand was utteriy bare, since this is far narth of the tree line, the anly rvegetation being some grass oni the inland plateau, which riscs about 1,000 feet above the sea lev- el, and here and there a fevw fclumps of quite beautiful flow- ers which bloom in July. About the middle of August, winter is again on its way. The ship which usualiy brings in supplies sin this manth. may be unabie t<. Sprocèed tao close ta the islanad son account of ice, and helicopte rs carried aboard the ship are then used ta ferry in the food and sup- plies. Mail and other require- ments are fiown in from time ta time and drapped by parachute, when neither the ianding strip nar the ice landing strip (a clear- ed path an the ice, which is 80 inches thick, of a small fresh wat- er lake quite close ta the camp) is fit for 'Planes ta use. Here, another common belief was exploded, in that 'planes do nat use skis fbr ianding, but wheels. The reasan for this is that there is flot usually sufficient snaw. The air is taa cold ta con- tain much moisture. Most people picture the Arctic as being a vast waste of snaw. but on Resolute, the graund is often almost blown bare by the wind. The snow dues.ple up around any obstaeie, and sametimes reaches roof level around the buildings. When this happens an animal known as the Arctic fox often cames prawling at night just as the camp is drap- ping off ta sleep. The fax leaps onto the metal roof of the pre- fabricated buildings from the high drifts of snow, and races acrass, with the pack of Husky dags in thunderous pt;rsuit. This is guaranteed ta put sleep ta rout.

A Kinsmen Club is flot a knife and fork club, the speaker stated, nor is At a clan. He said a Kins- men Club is a way of life de- manding that members have a clear understanding af their obli- gation ta the community. Stress- ing the reed for good feliowship at ail times, Mc. Whitney sug- gested that Kmn ideals become a part af personal and business life. Kinismen initiated at the Tues- day meeting are: Ron McDonald, Ted Miller. Allan Tamblyn, Bob King, Jimn Nokes and Walter Frank. Prior ta each member's induction, a short biographical sketch was supplied for Kin in- formation by sponsoring Kins- men. It fell ta the.capable Kin past president, Jack Lander, ta read the 'Objects of Kinship" and sub- sequently, ta indicate the signifi-c cance af the Kin crest.

Alet-ted by provincial police, Constable Alan Densemn of the Bowmanville police department recovered a stolen Toronto car and arrested one of three occu- pants when the vehicle stopped for a red light at the Four Corn- ers around 6 p.m. Tuesday even- ing. Forced ta f ire a warning shat, Constable Densema arrested a man xvha gave his name as Kenneth Ronald Chris. 41 Empire Ave.. Toronta, who was later turned avec ta Toronto palice. The ath- er twa in the car, believed ta be Cyral Langelle and Ron Carter, bath of Toronto, managed ta es- cape. It is understood the stolen car is owned by Jack Carson, 104 BorrWn St., Toronto. Constable Densbm deserves considerabie praise for carrying out his duty in the face of three thugs, any or ail of whomn might have been armed. His performance brings credit ta the Bowmanviile Police Department. Memorial Park Seeks Assistance To Erect Bidn The Memoriai Park Association is endeavouring ta raise funds for the erection af a park building and the objective for this project has been set at $500.

Bell Telephone CO. Granted Permission It is hard ta determine the effect the 5 per cent increase in telephone rates will have locally until pertinent information has been received from Head Office, Frank Williams, local manager of the Bell Telephone Company, toki the Statesman, yesterday. The Board af Transport Com- missioners at Ottawa authorized the telephone company ta boost their rates last week. The pcoposed increase from 5 cents ta 10 cents per eaul on public telephones will flot be ef- fective in Bowmanville, accord- ing ta Mc. Williams, who said this increase was confined ta larger centres oniy. The Bell Telephone Company has been authorized ta increase its residentai and business tele- phone rates by 5 per cent. At present, the monthly rates are: $3.05 foc individual subsccib- ers, $2.65 foc a two-party line, $2.45 for rural subsccibers anîd $1.00 foc an extension. Current business rates are: $5 per month for a single telephone, ý4.25 for a two-party line with an extension at $1.25. Rural bus- iness telephone is listed at $3.25. First Rate Increase On Jan. 1, 1951. the company was given autharity ta increase its rates by 20.6 per cent. This did flot mean that individual ac- counts xvere affected by this per- centage, howevec. It is under- stood that som-e types ai service was increased by mare than 20.6 per cent xvhile others were only siightiy increased. The ruling ai the Board af Transport Commissioners is only conceî-ned withi an averaîl per- centage increase in revenue. The details of rate increasc' are left ta the cohmpany ta work out as it sees fit. Considcring that Bowmanville .s withini a 50-mile radius ai To- r onto, thece will be n0 increase n long distance charges ta that city. , Thc basic persan-to-persan charge is 55 cents, and station-to- station set at 40 cents. There à3 no reduction in charge after 6 p.m. or Sundays, due ta Baw- nanville's proximity ta Toronto.

Crossing Fourteen West Beach families wouid appear doomed ta live on an isolated isiand, bordered by land on anc side and xvater on the ather, for the winter months, at least, according ta authorita- tive information recc;ved. The fence cbnstructed on the H-oney Bridge Road, south of the C.N.R. tracks, xviilot be taken down. It was erected for the pro- tection of lite and limb on order from the Board of Transport Com- missioners and until this board changes its view, the C.N.R. has no alternative but ta erect a fence closing the road ta traffic. The fence wiil cause hardship ta West Beach famiiies, particu- larly ta the il children wha must make their way ta school each day, but littie. if anything, can be dane ta relieve the situation un- til the new four-lane highway is cornpleted some time in 1952 or 1953. The position of Bowmanviile residents living at the West Beach is critical. What would happen if a seriaus fire broke out? How is a doctor ta reach the isolated island in emergency? What will become of garbage? These are but several of the important questions that search an answer. Two Courses Open There are but two courses open ta authorities seeking ta relieve an unpleasant situation. One, an appeal ta the Board of Transport Commissioners, and the other, the erection of a foot bridge across the piers from East ta West Beach. The first course involves a considerabie lapse of time. It would appear that the immedi- ate, if temparary, solution wouid be the construction of a foot bridge. Full time guards are apparent- ly out of the question due ta the expense factor. While the total tax revenue from the West Beach is oniy $2,639. including taxes paid by sunimer residents only, the estimated expenditure for full time guards, inciuding in- surance, heat and salary, wouki run in the neighborhaod of $500 per month or $6,0%)l per yeac. These figures are an estimated minimum.
