The "dream car" is out for the im-

general opinion among leaders In the

will be much like the 1940 models
are twofold. In the first place it will
be a matter of giving employment to

C.P.R. Express Finds and Ships Reindeer for Hollywood.
!''1 eorge McMurray, traffic solic-
l-T itor for the Canadian Pacific
Express Company at Edmonton,
Alta., was the "Santa Claus" who
provided four reindeer for Para-
mount Pictures in Hollywood when
that company had to have them
- for scenes' in "Road to Utopian',
forthcoming film on the Alaska
gold rush, starring Bob Hope,
Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour.
He had a recollection of "a
fellow low some here in
Saskatchew-
an
atc
hew-
an drivin trained reindeerdeer "when
the word went out that the film
%have o, h •e
had to have at n 5 i
capital p �
for the picture. He checked with
the publicity
office of the
S
askat-
cltewan Government in Regina
and found J. J. Dalke of Por-
cupine Plain, between Hudson
Junction and Tisdale, was the
,'fellow", He had nine reindeer,
all trained.
Having found his man, Mr.
McMurray made arrangements
to ship immediately and in the
top picture the Canadian Pacific
Express man had his picture
taken with Mr. Dante (left) and
theunusual cargo. Also provid-
ed for "Road to utopgia", but
naturally segregated from the
reindeer forshipping, sh were 27
sleigh dogs,
with h the lower
pic-
ture showing some of the huskies
being traced at Ryan's Farm at
St. Albert near Edmonton.
Mr. Mc1YIurray's claim always
has been "tile Canadian Pacific
Express can ship anything" and
the reindeer and the huskies be
lined up on this aosignment makes
it ria idle boast. The reindeer --
five-year-old Cupid, a lady; and
Dunder, Prancer and Dancer,
males aged six, two and three--
requiredapeciall heated ear
sp Y
and their dint of turnips, carrots,'
potatoes, cabbages and grain also
called for special care.
The reindeer were b
available e-
b
cause Mr. Dalke, their owner,
refused to believe those who said
it was impossible to train and
harness the creatures. He has
dehorned the four who fill the
Hollywood bill, an omission which
the property department likely
will remedy. The reindeer must
be back from the United States
in 29 days, according to the first
permit issued on them.
