Above she shows some of ..the Eskimo handcraft she brought home. (Photo by Mrs. Bradnock) Auburnites Hear About AUBURN — An interesting- program of pictures was ^hown last week in St. Mark’s Angli­ can Church, Auburn,' by Miss Shirley Brown of Goderich. Miss Brown is at present on the staff o-f Blyth school and told of her experience while she was a y teacher at Great Whale River. This northern village is located on Hudson Bay,; in Quebec, about 1,000 miles north of Goderich “as the crow flies.” Last year she taiught home economics and English to the senior gradesat the Federal School there,, opiated by the Department mf Northern. Af: fairs. There Were 185 pupils and nine teachers, whfch also included .shop ■ instruction for the boys in carpentry and me-, chanids. ’ , ’ Great Whale River has & population of 500 Eskimos, 200’ Cree Indians and 60 white men. These' were- official personnel and also those who were clos­ ing the Pine Line operated by the Canadian Forces. There were only 10^ white women in the village. The Anglican church, holds, three services on Sunday—one for the Eskimos, one for the Indians and one for the whites. The Roman Catholics hold similar services. These northern people have a hangar and air strip where a- DC-3 plane comes in from Montreal on Tuesdays and’one comes from Timmins on Thurs­ days, bringing mail and- sup­ plies. Ski-doos and Hondas ate the favorite ways of travel a- long with the dog-sleds -in winter. ’ The Eskimos love music and dancing and evhry Friday night they have their own radio sta­ tion which the people operate, and have their own record bar. They also enjoy playing bridge, bingo, and curling, along with ■other card games. ' A new housing . progi’am» is being introduced 'into this nor­ thern community to raise the standard of living of the Eski­ mo. The Hudson Bay store pro­ vides everything,, but the prices are very high. Eggs sell for $1,25 per dozen and. 'bread, fresh once a week,, sells for 58 cents per loaf. Federal workers are given their yearly ration when they go in. The Eskimos’ natural food consists of cari- (which- is' unlawful for Whites to hunt or eat), seal liver, Ptarmigan (white bird the size of a pheasant), geese and char, a fish similar to, our salmon. These northern people make many souvenirs " which Miss Brown j had on display 'and spoke about them; white polar bear rugs, seal skins, soapstone carvings, reed baskets, bead­ work, harpoon and ookpik and snowshoes. Their coats (KuiLa- tuk) are made of duffel doth, mitts made out of sealskins and also their kamics ('boots or moccasins). Miss Brown’s story of our northern neighbours was very real and educational. -----------o__-------- More Members (By R, S.
