PUBLIC LIBRARY CONTAINS
PLEASURE HOURS
One of the most treasured possessi-
ons of any municipality is its library.
Unfortunately, the benefits a library
can offer are only recognized by a
comparative few. Wingham has a
good public library with many thous-
ands of volumes on its shelves dealing
with a wide range of subjects. These
books have been segregated into classi-
fications so that readers may have little
difficulty in seeking the type of book
they desire.
Any person who has never known
the delight of reading a good book, or
made this habit, is unfortunate indeed.
-
reading matter to bring into the home.
A vast treasurehouse of knowledgo and
good reading pleasure is available in
the thottsands of volumes in the Wing-
ham Public Library and the amazing
advantage in this type of recreation is
that it eosts so very little. Don't pass
up the many happy recreation hours to
be found in good books!
Frost moves out, with a wide program
01 investigations ranging from explor-
ation for radio-active minerals to
archaeological diggings into the past,
Looking over its Spring program, the
Department found on its shelf also
the investigation of iron ore occurren-
ces, further examination of areas likely
to yield oil, gas or coal, the continu-
ation of mapping projects and an ex-
tensive array of field work by its ge-
ological, topographical, legal and
geodetic divisions.
Aids to navigation will be supplied
by the hydrographic service, The Do-
minion Observatory has arranged ex-
peditions to the Arctic to conduct fur-
ther studies on terrestrial magnetism
which will provide information for ac-
curate navigational hearts and also will
make seismic and gravity surveys. The
national museum, meanwhile, will con-
duct archaeological, biological and eth;
nological research to extend the know-
ledge of the natural history and cul-
tures of the Dominion, Nine parties
will include excavation of Eskimo sites
on Cornwallis Island and at Eureka
Sound on Ellesmere Island.
Cornwallis is about 1,200 miles north
of° Churchill, Man., and Ellesmere an-
other 300 miles north—deep in the
Arctic Circle. Increased emphasis is
being placed on Northwest Canada
where an accelerated program of pros-
pecting for thorium and uranium is
expected, Not only gold and pitch-
blend,i but a wide variety of other min-
erals indicate important developments
In the northwest.

STUDY PROBLEMS
OF ARCTIC LIFE
Into the northland went 20. scientific
experts by air recently to study oh the
rim of the Arctic such unrelated
questions as how high is up, how are
the caribou doing these days and how
strong is a snowflake. Their five-day
8,000-mite jaunt over the frozen north
is on official records as Operation
Cariberg. Dual purpose of the opera-
tion is to count caribou herds to de-
termine the state of these animals,
whose good health means good hunt-
ing and good living for Canada's Es-
kimos, and to observe the conditions
l in Hudson Bay.
The snowflake problem belongs to
Dr. R. F. Leggett, Director of Building
Research with the National .Research
Coun c il, and he said, prior to tiepin.-
Imre, that front the defense standpoint
the strength of a snowflake is mighty
important. If the decision men who
handle specifications for building rani-
tory equipment don't know just how
strong a snowflake is, there could be
times When a snowmobile or snow
tractor would work well in the snows
of the Churchill area, but bog down

IN HUDSON BAY
Canada's new aircraft carrier, Mag-
nificent, will lead a stuluner naval ex-
ercise in northern waters this year.
They will be "the first Canadian war-
ships ever to enter Hudson Bay," De-
fense Minister Claxton announced re-
cently. The Magnificent will not her-
self enter the Bay, the Minister inti-
mated, but will accompany two de-
stroyers and a tanker into Baffin
Straits. The destroyers will go on to
Churchill, Man.

KNOW WINGHAM
Early History of Wingham, contin-
ued. (An extract from the Historical
Atlas of the County of Huron, Ont.,
published in 1879),
There is one chartered ("Consoli-
dated"), and two private banks. There
are six churches, (Methodist, Episco-
palian, Presbyterian, Baptist, Primitive
Methodist and Roman Catholic), some
of which are of considerable preten-
sions as to architectural design, me-
chanical execution and general effect,
The fine arts and literature are repre-
sented by three photographers, two
weekly papers and a Mechanics' Insti-
tute, The press of Wingham compares
favorably with that of other towns of
similar size and imOrtance. The
Times, reform in politics, was estab-
lished in 1871 by Robert Matheson,
now of Clinton. It is owned and edit-
ed by S. W. Galbraith. The Advance,
James Fleuty, editor and proprietor,
was established six years ago by
Charles Cliffe, and espouses the con-
servative side of politics. (Continued
next week). * * *

CANADA'S
GREAT NORTHLAND
A few decades ago the slogan was,
"Go West, youn g man, and grow up
with the country"! Now the popular
saying is, "Go North, young man, and
grow up with the Northland"! Canada
is fortunate to possess one of the few
empty regions on the earth's surface
which awaits exploratiou and devel-
opment. This vast Canadian North-
land contains hundreds of thousands of
square miles of virgin territory, much
of it still untrod by white man and
some of it unmapped in any detail.
Here and there in this Canadian
hinterland, adventuresome pioneers
have penetrated and found the country
habitable and tremendously rich in
natural resources, 'Untold wealth in
the great open spaces of Canada's vast
Northland awaits prospectors and
settlers. The Northward movement of
the frontiers of civilization has begun
'land accelerated, augmented immigra-
`tion is needed to supply impetus to
the movement. "Go North, young
ratan, and grow up with the North-
land!"
