The certificate was signed by the captain on a flight from Dawson Inuvik last June 17. 'Another Arctic Circle crossing was made ying from Inuvik to Churchill the foilowing day. Last June 1, Mrs. Bell left Malton Airport with Mr, and Mrs. Alan albraith of Clinton and Miss Janis Galbraith. Members of ,The primly Hunter Show were aboard. The craft touched down at innipeg on the flight to Calgary, After sight-seeing in that city, the arty went by train to Banff and saw the usual tourist attractions nd went up the chairlift. From Banff they visited Johnson Canyons ad Eisenhower Mountain. Arriving at Vancouver by train, they made Bayshore Inn their eadquarters. They then flew to Prince Rupert, B.C., but it was ggy and the plane landed at Terrace Bay. On the bus to Prince upert, they enjoyed the mountain scenery and slopes covered with lue flowers, wild pink roses and fire bush. Prince Rupert is a lovely city of 16,00Q, increasing by from one o six thousand in the tourist season, It is the world halibut fishing entre where fisherman may make as much as $30,000 in six oaths, The houses are very beautiful. They boarded the vessel Taku to go up the inner channel to 3kagway and were watching from the bridge until 2:30 a.m. in broad laylight. They sighted two whales (one a killer whale) and a school )f porpoises on the voyage. Mrs. Bell was intrigued with the red, vange and green lights which guided the ship up the channels. At Skagway, they saw "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" which is staged every time a boat arrives. They took the little train to Nhitehorse and it stopped for lunch at Bennett. And they learned the world is very small. At Miles Canyon, Alan Galbraith was speaking to a man from Sarnia and mentioned his ame and hometown. Another man spoke up and said: "I was at lFB Clinton five years ago. You gave me a ride from Dundas and ince it was a nasty night, you insisted on driving me right to the ates. Janis was a girl with pigtails then." In the mountains, the party visited an Indian Cemetery where ittle houses were built over the graves. Then they took the bus 615 niles to Dawson. Forest fires were burning and the next day the oad was closed. They entered the Klondike Valley and went down, town, down! They were registered at the Downtown Hotel, which is a it was in 1898-1901. Among other stops, they saw the homes of lobed Service and Pierre Berton and for a dollar apiece were taught low to pan for gold. In an Anglican Church in Dawson, they watched National Film loard slides of territory they were about to tour and during the Irograin one woman asked Mrs. Galbraith where she was from. "Clinton, Ontario," replied Mrs. Galbraith, "but my mother is rom Bayfield." "Bayfield!" said the woman, "We know it. We knew the Vidcombes and went to Bayfleld with the Pyes." The' four travellers were also pleased with the friendliness and tindness of the people. By the chance remark of a waitress who nentioned Clinton, the Galbraiths and Mrs. Bell met people from be Clinton Creek Mine. One man of influence, H. Henson, invited hem to his boat, insisted on sending a taxi 65 miles for them and trranged a tour of the mine — a rare privilege. Their host at dinner in he private executive dining room was Benoit Levasseur, manager of ood services for the mine. Mr. and Mrs. Levasseur later entertained he Clinton travellers at their home. They dined at 12:30 a.m. and arrived back at their lodgings at :30 a.m. — at that hour it was daylight and the Indian children ere playing around the cabins. The four stayed at the Roman Catholic hostel at Inuvik because eir reservations were not honored. It was a wild scene, Lucy is Id. The Indians were drinking, the girls were running. The infusion was a result of trappers'corning in with pelts?'

The Northwest Territory Council was ieeting when the Clinton group visited and they were introduced to ouncil members. Mr. Galbraith enjoyed fishing in Great Slave Lake.

New homes built for the Indians a w years ago have become slum-like, but the Eskimo log houses lit earlier are kept neat and tidy. One could drive only seven miles Churchill. Having lived in this vicinity (Bay field) all her life — a place where cal option has been in force for more than 50 years — the open bar ith its attendant drunken ribaldry was a great shock to Mrs. Bell. he was also astonished at the business being done in northern towns id by unexpected crowds.
