ROBERTSON the Arctic as dental surgeon or the government supply ship C. D. Hiowe. Dr. Robertson censured tbe governrnent for the "terrific waste" evident in the Arctjc. "The Department of Militia and De- fence certainly knows how tc apend money," he said. At Frobisher Bay, hundreds of thousands of gallons of high test aviation gasoline are stored. "If Rushia did corne over there's nothing to stop thema landing at Frobisher Bay to refuel," he stat- ed. "because there are no guns and the fuel is there waiting." Introduced by Canadian Club president Charles Carter Sr., Dr. Robertson related some of the in- teresting experiences he encount- ered both in 1950. when he made bis first "adventure" to the north en the old Nascopi, and ini 1951 when'he made the expedition on the. new C.

Bring- l*urbe T.B. cases out to civil- È~on for treatrnent is, "One of thse tragedies of the north," ac- cording to Dr. Robertson. He said the Eskimos corne to leara i aur ways and* it is a "heartbreak" for themn to go back to akin tent tumer. hoeanigoo enen-b ,tmer. hoe and ioos iatn win Eskimos is additional cause for Stafford Bros.

The speaker declared that "ed ucation is a myth in the Arctic. At Cape Dorset, he said a teach -er and bis wife, who is a nurs( cwere receiving between $8,00 and $9,000 a year plus living ac commodation and the busbani was only teaching three childrer Because Eskimos must hunt ti 1 live, tbey cannot leave thei tchildren bebind wben they go oi Ebunting trips. As a result, thi ,man was teacbing only an R.C bM.P. constable's two childrer along with the child of a Hudsor Bay factor. Excellent Photo SubJeet Dr. Robertson illustrated hi! talk with colored slides wbich hi took during visits to differeni Arctic ports. The Eskimo is au excellent subject for photogra. phy because, unlike most people be does not look at the camera, An Eskimo believes that the per- son taking the photograph is in- terested in capturing wbat be is doing and proceeds unconcern- edly about bis business. The Arctic includes 750,000 square miles of "bleak, unhos- pitable waste," he said, whiclr constitutes one-fifth of the land mass o! Canada and yet produces nothing. He termed the Eskixnc a "carniverous animal living froni tbe sea" and said that unlike the Indian, an Eskimno is privileged to vote and purchase liquor. In the Arctic, Eskimos and Indians do not mix. The Eskimo is bonest and above stealing while the In- dian is exactly opposite. The In- dian srnells a little bigber, too, according to the Cobourg dentîst. 0f the 8,000 Eskimos in the north, 6,000 are in tbe Eastern Arctic and are Anglicans. The Roman Catbolic Oblate Fathers minister to the native of the west- ern (west o! Hudson Bay) Arc- tic. Many o! the pictures screened by Dr. Robertson sbowed a moth- er carrying ber baby in a sack on her back. "There are very few empty parkas in the north," he said. He also mentioned that a child is breast-fed until the age of three years old, and that ho or she is housebroken within three days after birth. This particular explanation brought laughter to the throats o! bis many listeners.

Canada, Limited, for th, 1- year ended December 31st, 195 reveals that operations o! the con )0 solidated companies in Canad; ;- resulted in a net profit o! $3,976, h 535, which is equivalent to $14.21 d per share o! issued common stock~ ýa!ter making provision for divi *dends on the preferred shareý * outstanding. * This represents an increase o: r$1,830,310 over last year. Be. ncause the last-in fîrst-out metb. s d o! determîning the cost o! un- tprocessed rubber on band and ir -transit was adopted in 1950, thE -decline in the prîce o! crude rub- >ber wbich was experienced dur- ;ing 1951, did not adversely affect cprofits to the same extent as il the method o! inventory valua- tion used before 1950 had beer scontinued. - The sales volume of Goodyear -products exceeded once again ail previous records. Although ex- port sales also showed an increase over the previous year, exchange restrictions in foreign countries beld the volume o! these sales ta a lower level than migbt other- wise bave been obtained. The working capital o! the Comnpany improved by $3,970,626, however due to the increase in sales volume there was a sub- stantial increase in inventories and accounts receivable. To fin- ance these working assets bank borrowing rose frorn $2,893,704 at December 3lst, 1950 to $6,051,321 on the sarne date in 1951. For this reason, the Directors o! the Comnpany felt that untîl the bank overdra!t was materially reduced, an increase in the dividend rate on the common stock should not be considered. Attention was drawn ta the heavy tax burden imposed on the Company. Taxes of ail kinds amounted to $12,065,437, equiv- alent to $46.90 per share on issued common stock. Capital expenditures during the year amounted to $ 1,803,298 which represented the cost o! additional equipment, and the building o! a new branch centre in Montreal. The board o! directors in their report to the shareholders noted that present economic conditions in Canada are favourable to fur- ther industrial progress and en- largement o! the Canadian mark- Housebroken Child Wben a child is uncomfortable and must relieve bimsel!, he en- deavours to squirm into a corn- fortable position in the bag on his mother's back. He wears no clothes. Wben the Eskimo moth- er feels the child squirrn she gives a beave with ber back and the child is flung from bis mobile crib. Deftly, as the child falîs through the air, the mother catch- es him. Dr. Robertson said it doesn't inatter where this actidn occurs, inside or outdoors the job is done on the spot. Very few Eskimos speak Eng- lish; conversation must be car- ried on through an interpreter. As citizens of Canada the Eskimo. is being weil looked after by the Canadian government. '4Our gov- ernment is doing ahl it can to fuI- fill a mission in the north," Dr. Robertson said, adding. "There is no native on the North American continent so primitive." The speaker said he intended going back up to the Arctic this coming summer. Dr. Robertson was thariked for his interesting address by Geo. F. Annis. "The people be bas been working among are real Canadians," Mr. Annis said. "Our trip has been both bistorical and'i instructive."

For a little better than 24 years Mr. Pake was employed in the Hose Dept. o! the local plant, but in May. 1951, be was trans!erred to the Porter Service.

Feb. 19, 1952 Dear Mr. James: The article i the Social and Personal column o! last week's issue regarding a car accident ini which I was involved is entire'y misleadîng-in that I was the vic- tim and not the cause o! it. The fact that I arn being reimbursed for damages should be sufficient proof. Would therefore ask you to give the same prominence to this disclaimer as you did to the report founded upon total mis- representation. Yours sincerely, Kenneth Nickerson. 682 Coxwell Ave.,I Toronto 6 Dear Mr. James: Some few weeks ago your edi- tonial contained the view that instead of forced arbitration, that employees who go out on stnike should be stripped of their sen- iority, pensions, etc. Your editorials of the past have prevailèd with common sense aid good judgement whlch apparently bit a derail wben writij4g theJ above editorial.
