June 21, 1965
Cape' Dorset is a delightful
place to.be on June 21. The snow
has nearly all melted away, pus-
sy . willows are . blooming, the
geese have passed over on their.
way, north, and there are 24,
hours of continuous daylight.
The sun sinks behind -the hills
in'the northwest around 10 p.m,,
leaving a. glowing sky 'which
continues till the sun rises again
in the northeast a few hours
later, so that one_ is unable to
tell when sunset ends or when
sunrise begins.
But much of the fascination
of Cape Dorset is to be found
in its semi -nomadic people who
total -around 400., This number
represents' about 77 families
who either live in the settle:
ment or trade into it. There is
no segregation here, as the
Imes of the whites are sprinkl-
ed throughout the settlement,
though the language barrier is
often frustrating. But children
are plentiful and with them we
can freely converse as they
must learn ,English when they
are old enough to attend school.
So many new and exciting ex-
periences began for us last
March 31, the day we entered
the terminal building at Mont -
D
stroy.ed By Fire
Fire of u etermined origin
completely . d stroyed one of
Dublin's oldest landmarks early
Friday morning. The, handing
was owned by Louis Loo y,
while an electrical.' business,
Dublin Electric, was operated
by Donald MacRae. Mr. Looby
estimated loss on the building
would be between .$4,000 and
$5,000, while Mr. MacRae said
the stock lost was worth be.
tween $10,000 and $11,000. The
building and contents were.par-
Bally covered by insurance.
The blaze was discovered
shortly after 3:30 a.m. by Hari
old Meagher, a night employee
at the Dublin Poultry Packers.
When Mitchell 'fire depart;
ment reached the scene, the
frame structure was blazing
fiercely, threatening the two
adjacent buildings. At thistime
a call was put through to the
Seaforth fire "department. Both
departments /concentrated on
keepit'ig the ."blaze from spread-
ing to ether buiidings, along
Main Street,' The roof of the
Thos. Butters' Hardware caught
there was little damage to the
st re except for water. Mrs.
:Ian Dill, occupant of the Cron
in apartment, was forced to
leave her home, but did not
have to remove any furnish-
ings.
Mr. MacRae said that when
he arrived the fire was going
well. "When we pulled up," he
said, "there was' just a big
boom" The boom, firemen said,
was probably television sets in
the store exploding. Firemen
fought the blaze until 7:30 a.m.
Mr. Looby, commenting lifer,
said that there was no wind at
the time of the blaze and this
s what kept the fire from
spreading through the main
business block. Flames at the
height of the blaze reached be-
tween 60 and 70 feet high,•he
said.
The fire departments used
water from the 60,000 -gallon
underground water storage sup-
ply of the nearby Dublin Poul-
try • Packers.
The heat was so .intense at
the height of the blaze a tele-
phone cable was burnt through,
ce es
of The McKillop, Logan & Mb -
heft Telephone Co. Ltd., out of
service, and also affected about
50 rural lines. Workmen had
the long distance circuits re-
paired by 9 a.m.,-and the rural
lines were in use by Pilaw
night.
The frame building,' situated
on the east side of Dublin's
main street, was built by the
late John McConnell, 'Sr., in•
1879, following the Dublin fire
at that time; and was occupied
by a tailor, George Howard.
Later, a second building of
similar size was erected and
was used by Dr. Michell as an
office far many years. From
1918 to 1952 these two build-
ings were used by David Mc-
Connell, and later,� by his son,
Joseph McConnell,`,,for a gen-
eral store. In 1952 George Goat -
tier occupied the store until
1955. Mr. McConnell, owner of
the building then leased it to
Mr. ,Donald MacRae, who es-
tablished the Dublin Electric
business. In 1958 Mr. MsrWon-
nell sold the building fo Louis

real International Airport, feel- until{, the time should come for
ing ,rather conspicuous among us to depart for our final..des-
tination, Cape Dorset. '
What marvellous comfort was
oars in Frobisher! Our three-
room`suite consisted .of two bed-
rooms and sitting room,. all
nicely decorated and cosily fur-
nished, from the large pictures
on the wall to the rugs on the
floor, and there were nine oth-
er such suites stretching along
the same corridor. The three-
storey Federal Building was or-
iginally built for the United
States Air Force in. connection
with Strategic Air Command,-
hut,
ommand;but it is now under the control
of the Canadian Government.
Sortie of the comforts were to be
found in air-conditioning, hot
water heating and the heautiful-
ly tiled washrooms, complete
with automatic washers and dry-
ers. A -maintenance crew ,was
continually at work keeping the
'whole building spotlessly clean
and the floors gleaning. Also
under the same roof were gym-
nasium, cafeteria, , automotive
maintenadce, store rooms, fire
station and offices- of the Dept.
of Northern Affairs, Dept. of
Transport, Canadian Broadcast-
ing Corporation (Northern Ser-
vice -.Branch), 'Royal Canadian
Mounted Police (Eastern Arctic
Subdivisigp) and weather office.
The cafeteria was truly worthy
of special mention. There was
an excellent selection of delic-
ious meals available every day
and this caused uss much amaze-
ment, for here in the north dur-
ing the winter. months 'fresh.
food must be flown in, Causing
eggs to •sell at $1.25 a dozen,
apples 20c each and bananas
87c a pound.
• In front of the Federal Build-
ing, and also in front of our
windows stretched the long run-
way and we never tired of watch,
ing the planes of many sizes and
types which were continually
coming or going'. It was perhaps
fortunate for us that we were
able to do this, for it helped us
to realize- how reasonably Iarge
and sturdy was the plane which
brought us to this place, only
when viewed alongside relatively
the usual crowds of smartly -
dressed travellers, for our pock-
ets were bulging with extra mitts
and scarves and our head and
footwear were of the heavier
type.
Watching •the various monster
aircraft from the waiting room
was a thrilling experience until
We beheld Nita. appeared to `be
no More than -a toy plane wend-
ing its way amongst those mon-
sters to its position at the end of
the building. Then our thrills
tarried almost to chills for on
its side were printed the reveal-
ing letters "Nordair". But if
such a plane had successfully
,battled the storms all winter,
why should we question its ab-
ility to fly safely on this sunny
day. Down to the passenger gate
we hurried, now feeling more at
ease regarding our heavy cloth-
ing, for, there we found the
smiling hostess wearing slacks
and fur -trimmed' parka.
The interior of this DC -4 was
unique in that though there were
comfortable seats, they were
situated down one side only. In
addition, just one half of,., the
aisle was left vacant, for the
other complete half of the plane
was loaded from floor to ceiling
with cargo. Strong cables and
ropes held it safely in place
and it was covered with a tarp,.
but a few inches were left un-
covered at the' bottom and it
was here that we could recog-
nize some of our own crated be-
longings. And precious to resi-
dents of the north. were bags
marked "Canada. Air Mall".
• The needs of the passengers
were well looked 'after, for no
sooner had the plane Levelled
off ands the cabin Started to
warm p, than the hostess
brought coffee and cookies. The
magnificent view 7,000 feet be-
low so held our attention that
Roberval seemed to -be- reached
in no time. Here we stretched
our legs in the waiting room
for half an hour and tried not
to state too much at a young
Eskimo mother holding a tiny
bundle in a pink blanket, ready
to return to her home at Fort
Chimo. In the four hours it took
to reach that settlement we en-
joyed more';coffee, a gorgeous
subset, a further magnificent
view of snow-covered lakes and
a gradually diminishing supply
of trees, and a lovely hot sup-
per.
We were glad' to leave the
"Plane once again,. for half an
aisle hardly provides enough
space. for any exercise. In the
warm • waiting • room the tiny
pink bundle was received 'by
three older Eskimo 'women who
promptly unfolded the blanket,
thereby providing us with our
first glimpse of ,an Eskimo
baby just a few days old. On
board again, we were once more
served coffee by the still -smil-
ing hostess.
The flickering lights of Fro-
bisher Bay were a welcome
sight, for it was now hearty
midnight and we hall been on
our journey since 1:15 p.m. The
long day ended when we were

large aircraft at Montreal did it
appear small. Thus we were pre-
pared for Qur next experience
when, eleven days after our ar-
rival, we received word to hur-
ry to the airport where a one -
engine Otter aircraft was pre-
paring to leave for Gape Dorset.
Several Eskimos just discharg-
ed from Frobisher Bay Hospital
were to make the trip at the
same time's() that"liy -the -Mine
we were all aboard and all the
luggage had • been piled in the
aisles there was little foot room
left. The noise of the engine was
deafening, but on this day neith-
er noise nor cramped quarters
were of consequence to us, for
we were on our way to our new
home. The two and '^one-half
hour flight in the dazzling sun-
shine of that April afternoon
took us over mile after mile of
uninhabited country, er fro -
en sea, and lastly ov r th eri
water that is to be found near
Dorset all 'winter. And then,
duite suddenly, we shot low
over the top of a hill, and tiny
settlement appeared. The pilot
swooped in a wide circle and we
were able to identify the red -
roofed buildings of the Hudson's
Bay Company, Canada's new
flag flying from the community
flag pole, the tiny mission
church, 2rt large oil storage tanks
and most heart-warming of all,
people. Following their usual
custom, they were streaming
from their homes and making
their way down the white hills
to the ice -covered bay where
the plane was to land.
So once again we landed in
sub -zero, weather, once again we
were well fed in the home of
kind friends and once again we
were taken to warm overnight
quarters. The peaceful sleep
which comes so quickly in the
north overtook us as we pond-
ered over the end of our long
journey, and contemplated our
new way of life,on arctic Baffin
Island.
