speed being too much for St.

cessful tournament saw Mitchell

Air Drops RCAF Help Santa
Bring Christmas Parcels to Arctic
Huge transport aircraft of the
RCAF, C119's and North .Stars
warm up this week in prepara-
tion for flights to the most north-
erly points. in the Arctic, Load-
ed with more than 2 tons of :let-
ters and Christmas mail these
aircraft will bring happiness to
the hundreds of Department of
Transport weathermen, RCMP
personnel, and other military per-
sonnel located in the Arctic.
Preparations for the Christmas
drop began two months ago, when
the Department of Trenspbrt and
other agencies involved advised
families concerned that a Christ-
mas delivery was to .be made by
the RCAF.
The chief factor in any Arctic
flying i s good weather and this
determines the take off date. In-
cidentally the weather reports
that the aircrew use to plan their
flights are assembled from the
weather detail sent out by the
very people who will receive the
Christmas parcels,
The exacting job of dropping
bundles is a time of excitement
for the D of T weathermen and
others who have seen no signs
of civilization since the supply
ship made its yearly visit in
August.

ing from each, mark the area

"There must be a; better way to make a
living" complained Santa, Claus as he serviced
,;Fz zr s his jet -plane preparatory to his last round -up
of clients for the 1953 Xmas season. "Between
the high cost of living, shortages and strikes
I can't get the boys and girls what they're
c�r`� `•. looking for. Why, some of the National
Hockey League clubs have been writing in,
asking me to provide them with a winner. One can't do that"
he added regretfully.
"What," we wanted to know, "is the most important
shortage?"
"I'd say common sense," retorted Santa, tugging at his
lace curtains, rather irritably. "The things they ask for For
instance, I have a tear -stained request from Chicago, asking
me to provide that city with another Stanley Cup team. I
can't do that. Those Black Hawks will have to look after
themselves."
Santa fished through the mail, and came up with a letter.
that seemed to amuse him.
"Here's one from Frank King Clancy, eoach of the Toronto
-Maple Leafs" chuckled Santa... "Hees asking for a spare throat,
for he figures the one he has won't last him through the sea-
son. A great fellow, that Clancy. What you call a real holier -
guy, to use a sports term. Wish I could help him.
"From a promoter of amateur boxing events, there's a let-
ter asking me to deliver him a real amateur. He might as
well ask for a baby plesiosaurus. And Frank Boucher, coach.
of the New York Rangers, wants a rabbit's foot. I'll see that
he gets it, but he would be better ad'lised to get a couple of
tough defense players. Or another Lester Patrick, to help
take the load off Boucher's shoulders.
"Some letters show signs of intelligence. I have one from
a boxing fan, asking that every manager of boxers should be
sent a picture of Ananias, so that he:. could see himself as
others see him. One hockey fan wants me to send a noiseless
whistle to all referees and linesmen. And a pair of major -
sized trousers to all football leaders, because the game is suf-
fering from growing pains and is in fact growing out of its
pants.
"I'm sending a gallon of black ink each to Canny Smythe
of the Leafs, Frank Selke of the Montreal Forum and Jack
Adams of the Detroit Red Wings, Those fellows never seem
to require any red Ink. And a cash -register to Jean Eeliveau,
the Canadien rookie, so he can count his money without wear-
ing himself out ..."
