Rurnour To` Truth
•_Q
The rather ugly imprintof turn-
out appears to take.precedence
over the naked fact of truth in
many Instances;, especially ;where
Meetings of various groups cover'-
ed by the press.are concerned.
The matter almost invariably
starts outwith a remark to the :eff-
ect that"I 'heardrumor• the other
.day and.I wonder how much •
truth there was in it?"
• 'In every instance ,through which
this •reporter has sat', the truth has
been of considerably less magnit-
Ude than the rumor. ' In most such'
instances, the reporter is warned
that this is "off the'record ,"
We occasionally ask, why? Stan
dard answer is. "we would: 'be nailed
to the wall if this got gout.".
When it comes to being "nailed
to the wall" , any reporter -:is
"naffed" : often enough to firmly:
support two apartment . blocks 'and.:
a half-dozen .pole,barns in the
course of any given year.. 'Being
"nailed" is an .occupational haz-
and for the reporter and, in this
light, .he has little 'patience with
others not wishing to find them
selves In a'similar, situation.

Centenni
Re
1867.0 19
I` have written before about
the great .4,000 -mile. water route
to be travelled by. our Centennial
, Canoe Pageant next summer. Ten
canoes manned by teams from the
provinces will traverse the historic
waterway from the Rocky Moun-
tains- to. 'Montreal. The fact that
Canada stretches ` from , sea to sea.
is due, partly to the existence: of
this and other waterways:
The "north west passage" by '
water across * Canada : was ' estab- '
•:fished long .before the time . of
Confederation. In fact, one might
say, : it had ' its , beginnings when
Columbus and many' •other ex-
plorers unsuccessfully sought a
seaway to the far east through
the west. .
The explorers discovered the
first part of the waterway .west
of Montreal • in their hunt for a
route to China. Then,' once
found, it became the highway of
the fur traders who had learned
that there was, . local wealth to •
be exploited =—. much. closer than
China or • India. • : '
While 'the • fur .traders' were
producing considerable coni-
•mercial canoe traffic between
Montreal . and the Rocky Moun-
tains, other people were still in-
tent on finding a north west
passage for big' ships. Twenty-
two years before Confederation
Sir John Franklin, the great
Arctic explorer . almost forgotten
by Canadians today, set out to
find a northern shipping route
•through. the Arctic with two Royal
Navy ships, the Erebus and .the
Terror.
There •were 129 officers and
men on Franklin's two ships When
'theyentered the Arctic area in •
1845. They were seen • last in
July of that year by another
passing ship in • Baffin's Bay. Then.'
the Erebus and the Terror van-
ished and none of the 129 ever :
• returned frons. the Arctic.
by JOHN W. FISHER
;CENTENNIAL COMMISSIONER
Numerous :. expeditions sent..
front.` England,, from the •United
States and by groups from the
Hudson's Bay Company searched
for the lost explorers without
success.
Evidence `uncovered in -:later
years proved that the Erebus and
the Terror., trapped in ' Arctic ice,
had : not* been ;'abandoned until
three years after they ' had been
sighted' by that.' passing ship in,
Baffin's' Bay: ' As ;'late.- as .1$50
Eskimos. saw ,a lar •. party 'of
white . Men' travelling' south near '
the mainland, ` dragging ' a small'
boat and, sleds: 'There are many
conflicting stories' about . what
actually happened to the 129. men.
In. 1859. an expedition sent
out by Lady . `Franklin found a . ;
written record' by a captain of
one of the ships. • It gave an ac-
• count of their` terrible trials up '
to the spring of 1848.
Franklin was lost but the
search expeditions provided in-
formation for the mapping- of a '
vast area of: the Arctic with its
complicated islands, . inlets and.
straits.
Although • much 'knowledge
was gained .'through Arctic ex-
peditions • in the mid -nineteenth'
century the canoe route across
Canada remained, for a long time,
the backbone of the east -west
transportation system and the one
we will "rediscover" with our
Centennial canoes. Even to-
day, with all our technology, the
north west passage via ' the Arctic
waterway is not for use by com-
. merce
During Centennial year Cavia
dians will be looking at history
with renewed interest: Like the
'story of the search for the north
west passage, which I have barely
touched in this short column,
there are many more which make
fascinating' reading, for young and
old
