ANXIOUS TO RETURN
— Two days’ travelling to hospital on a dogsled, whipped by
an Arctic blizzard, would be enough to discourage many wo
men from living in Canada’s northland. But not pretty Mrs.
James Houston, wife of a Toronto illustrator, who is con
valescing in Montreal while she awaits transportation back
to the Arctic. While following the Eskimos north through
Baffin Land, Mrs. Houston was stricken with appendicitis
more than 100 miles from Cape Dorset, closest point of
medical aid. With a team of dog sleds, the only means of
transportation at her disposal, the young woman was driven
to Dorset in a blinding blizzard. Now fully recovered, Mrs,
Houston can’t wait to go back. “I love every bit of it,” she
said. "Life there is never dull. The people are honest and
are content only to make a living. My husband and I en
courage them in developing their handicraft arts which is
the means of increasing their earning power.” The carvings,
an example of which is seen above, are brought to Montreal,
where they are sold in a non-profit guild. -—C.P.C.

Behind The Wheel
A typical "he-man” remark
about women and driving recent
ly brought another man’s rather
pessimistic reply that w o m e n
would never make good drivers.
The argument went something
like this: First, women are too
dependent on,others’ decisions to
ever drive with conviction and
then they’re more naturally nerv
ous than men. For anothex* thing,
they’re too easily distracted by
passing incidents, signs and scen
ery and apparently they’re always
waiting for anothei- motorist to
be gallant and do the right thing
first.
