The expedi- tion, known as "Exercise Musk - Ox," will test new equipment specially designed for winter travel under extreme conditions, and is ex- pected to unearth, as well, informa- tion that will be invaluable in the future development of the Arctic's mining, trapping and fishing possi- bilities. The above map, prepared by the official cartographer of The Canadian Geographical Society, shows the route to be followed. "Exercise Musk -Ox" will test three new techniques which, if found suitable, will greatly affect future- travel in the Arctic. These will be the long-range performance of snowmobiles, transportation of supplies by air, and the use of radar and astro-navigation devices in the hitherto unnavigable areas around the magnetic pole. Previous army expeditions al- ready have resulted in improving methods of travel and living in the north and, in addition, much valu- able data will be made available for future military operations should they become necessary. From Baker Lake, where an ad- vance meteorological and air base has already been established for the expedition to the Arctic Ocean, the route will cross some of the least - known parts of Canada, all of which are unmapped, with the exception of Back River. This 500 -mule Iong river has been travelled but twice— by Captain Back in 1834 and by two Hudson's Bay Company men in 1855. "Exercise.--Musk-Ox" will reach the Arctic Coast at Perry River, where an Es:_imo operates a trad- ing -post, will then cross 100 miles of frozen ocean to reach Cambridge Bay, where the R.C.M.P. schooner "St. Roch" is now wintering, and subsequently follow the south coast from Victoria Island for 250 miles to Coppermine. From there it will travel overland to strike the first trees near Port Radium. Early in May it is scheduled to reach the Alaska Highway and then follow the '700 -mile stretch from Fort Nelson to Edmonton. T "1 THE INSIDE ON HOCKEY By ED. FITKIN The hockey world was Maurice Richard's oyster last season when the roust Montreal Canaclienscar was shattering all previous pro hockey scoring records with. his ,:amazing total of 50 goals. But just tvecently, .Maurice sadly sighed: "The worst thing I ever did was to score those 50 goals." * * * What he meant by that, of course, is that he has become a marked man, that rival clubs put their toughest checkers on. his tail, and that tht road to the goal no longer is a path of glory. Under this in- cessant hounding, Richard seems to 'have developed a pettiness that is proving costly to Canadiens in the way of penalties. Recently one Montreal writer asked this ques- ion: "Mhen is Richard goinp t) quit beinv a chump drawing those . sucker penalties?" * * * The moral to this, of course, is that fame is fleeting. Richard was a champ last year and a chump this season. No longer do those avid Habitant routers couple his name with the great Morenz. Even among the l•ockey men who guide the N. H. L. teams there seems to have developed a change of heart re- gal -cling Richard. "After all," one coach told me recently, "Richard scored all those goals against war- time hockey players who certainly weren't up to N. H. L. standards. Now that the good players are back from the services, he is just an ordinary player." * * * When Doug Bentley was in-• jured, one Chicago writer went fa- cetious on h's public and worried that the stadium would be filled for a hockey game and the Hawses wouldn't put in an appearance—be- cause they had no one to lead them onto the ice . Doug, as you may know, succeeded Mush March as the leader of the Hawk parade into battle this season . . . The Chi ohhy Develops Into Business A hubby of bee -keeping' has been turned into thriving, profitable business by C. 11lurden Johnson, a local resident, and his exafiiplc buggests that others night turn their hobbies into a business and get good financial returns, says The Niagara Palls Review. From a Single swarm of bees, Mr. John- son, a nature student, has develop- ed the biggest bee -keeping busi• *less in the Niagara Peninsula with Splendid financial returns. The original colony now has expanded ktito 675 colonies of bees and a IiozYey l!,usiness worth $30,000. Mary people likewise have hobbies that could be converted into profit- t►tble business ventures. scribe's problem was solved, how- ever, when Max Bentley took' over the leadership job. ' Babe Pratt, always popular with the sportswriters, is getting plenty of what the hockey players call "favorable ink" from the men who pound typewriters. Public sentiment is also on -Prates side. His appeal . will likely be heard at the Board o- Governors' meeting in New York on Feb. 15, and unless there is more evidence in the case than has been presented, the feeling is that Pratt still has a chance to evade such a drastic sentence. .While big Babe is the first pro hockey player to be expelled for gambling, he is not the first to be banished from the game. Billy Coutu, a' star with Boston Bruins, was expelled from hockey for life for an after -game attack on Re- feree Jerry Laflamme back in 1927. * * * Don Gallinger, the Port Colborne product who is doing such con- sistent sniping for Boston, scored ruins' first goal of the seaon and also the 100th. Speaking of the Bars, little Kenny Snaith has done a capable pinch-hitting chore for Bill Cowley and Art Ross says: "If that kid only had 20 more pounds, he'd `be a corker," Turk Broda, back with the Leafs, is in splendid physical shape, played over 30 game in England before he came back and looks exceptionally sharp for a goalie who has been out of big time competition for so long. (Editor's Note: Ed Fitkin, con- ductor of this column, can be heard each Sunday afternoon at 4,35 over C -H -U -M (1050) dis- pensing breezy, dramatic and enter- taining stories on "The Inside on Sports." Mr. Fitkin-address, Maple Leaf Gardens Toronto — will be glad to answers questions about the players and the game). Ratepayers Vote Cash For Veterans By a vote of 337 to 219 ratepay- ers of Brooke Township gave war veterans $100 each for five years, • with $100 down right now in ad- dition. It made one mill on the dollar extra in taxation for the farming community, - There is some- thing pretty fine about -that vote, The council did not do it on 'ts own: it left the idea to the taxpay- ers and they dict not welch. St, Catherines Standard, MATUN Q IUP _ DOLp$"".cou6NS:UTIs STEPS COUGHS i Costs of Strikes In Relationship To Rewards Worker, Employer, Consumer —All Groups Suffer Loss Strikes are costly#o all groups in the community, says the New York Tinges. The worker suffers a loss of income. The employer has reduced profits: The consumer suffers inconvenience and must forego products urgently desired. This is all so obvious that it scarcely needs repetition. What is less obvious is that the cost in- volved is often excessively great in relationship, to the rewards to be won. 1 (, * An illustration is found in the cost of the present steel strike to the workers. The companies have offered an increase of 15 cents an hour, which would be the largest increase ever received by these workers. This strike has been call- ed to obtain an additional 3% cents an hour. If the 15 -cent offer were accepted, steel workers would earn about $1.29 an hour. On the basis of their own demands. they emands- they would earn 911.32% an hour. *' * * Every hour's work that is lost because of the insistence upon an. additional 334 cents an hour costs the steel worker at least. $1.29. It would take hint thirty-seven hours of work at the additional 3% "cents an hour to make up for the loss of one hour's pay of '$1.29. In other words, if the steel worker is unem- ployed for one forty -hour week it will take him thirty-seven full weeks at the higher rate to make up for the lost time. If • the strike lasts for two weeks it will take seventy-four weeks to make up for the time lost. ' If the strik- ers were out for a month, it would take 148 weeks, or almost three full years, before the earnings lost dur- ing the strike were recouped. * .'• * These figures, of course, do not. in themselves establish the merit of the offer made by the steel companies. They do not m them- selves disprove Mr. Murray's claim that more could have been paid. But they do call attention to a factor which is frequently lost• sight of, when union labor rejects a major gain in favor of a strike.
