Local weather at this time of year was never ideal, at best chancy. To risk a landing would be to court disaster. To refuse might cost a woman's life. From the RCAF base at Sum- merside, on Prince Edward Is- land, Flt. Lieut. Ian McKenzie and five colleagues set course northward. It was a. familiar mission. They were bound for a "place few of them had ever heard of, with a name few could pronounce, 'to help an Eskimo known only as Martha. Several hundred dreary miles later their Dakota skiplane was within sight of the Baffin coast. Only a few hours of daylight re- mained; the overcast was thick and getting thicker, The only .gap in the mountain barrier, MacKenzie knew, was a fjord. He_ spotted the opening, drop- ped to 300 feet and.began pick- ing his way inland. Any violent gust might slam the Dakota into a sheer wall of rock. Ahead lay a cluster of huts and snowhouses that could only bé Pangnirtung; all around -- mountains, . their peaks obscured in fog. MacKenzie eased his plane onto the snow, gambling that the skis wouldn't break through, praying the landing run wouldn't carry him into the base of a mountain. } : A waiting crowd helped bun! dle the patient aboard. She was barely settled before the pilot gunned the engines, swung into. the wind and took off in the fading light, back through the fjord, over the sea. The adventure wasn't over.

During any average week as many as 40 missions may be undertaken; 30 may be, and oft- en are, false alarms, but the other 10 may result in one, two or three lives being saved.

If what we hear about present-day China is true, the method has been brought up to date: It is said that ene- mies of the regime are made to dig their own graves, then they are forced to stretch themselves in the narrow, trench and earth is thrown on top .of them. If the guard is feeling merciful they may get a bullet first. But what of those people who have buried themselves? In Tsarist times twenty-five mem- bers of a fanatical Russian sect, the "Old Believers," let thems: selves be buried alive when they heard there was to be a new national census which meant registration for military service. But the weirdest case .was that of the eslf-styled "Marquis de Champaubert," an Ingenious 'Franch crook. He 'had written his memoirs and thought of a publicity stunt -to help sell his book. He alleged that a secret society which punished crimin- als who escaped the law was after. his blood. In October, 1929, he arranged . to be buried alive in a newly made coffin, but a message was to be sent to the police in time to dig him up, still breathing, and so create a sensation. But something went wrong ~* when they came for him he was dead, his clothed torn fo shreds in his struggles, 7 Be rr Sometimes a brother 'or a sister can be a big help in put- ting the subject at "ease & Well, was it a good Christmas "at your house? Or were you cel- ebrating away from home? Quite likely. As families grow up par- mas. In our family our young married folk like to start Christ- mas, in their own homes and then come to the old farm housé for noonday Christmas dinner. But I must tell you more about that in_a later column. Right now it i$ time to wish you a very Happy New Year, which I do with all my heart. I suppose we are all glad to _greet that .innocent-looking lit- tle cherub whom we have come New Year. Perhaps he is respon- sible for the feeling we get as we approach the new year -- a feeling that sort of fills us with renewed hope, optimism and. all kinds of good intentions. After all, isn't the New Year like an unopened book, with twelve un- written chapters? As time passes we ourselves shall help to write those chapters just as we helped to write those of 1955. Chapter and verse are not always written the way we expect or want them to be, because so often fate guides and controls our hand even as we write. Nevertheless greeting the New Year is a joy- lovelier than to hear church bells ringing out across the frosty nicht, welcoming the new' born year. "Ring out the old, ring in the new - ) snow: The year is going; let him go Ring out the false, ring in the true." charming words people used to listen for the church bells: to usher in the New Year. But now, alas, too often the peal of the bells is drowned by the noise of horns blowing, whistles shrieking, clappers- and other be the modern way of greeting lands sometimes - seem - very strange to us yet many of them are far more romantic and cer- tainly less noisy than our own.
