Canadian Tells Of Rigorous
Life 200 Miles From
The Arctic Circle
Thomas Alcock, Visitor At

Stationed 400 Mlles
From Any Town
(Berwick Pa. Enterprise)
A furlough visit to , Berwick and
a decided change . from the rigors
of life 200 miles from the Arctic
Circle is now being experienced
by Thomas Alcock, of the Royal
Canadian Corps of Signals, stay
ing for two or three weeks with his
uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs. W. L
Mctutoheon, of 303 East 5th street.
Signalman Alcock along with
four other Canadian army men
and ten civilians spend a lonely and
unexciting life for most of the year
at Fort Norman, a Hudson Bay post
on the MacKenzie River, which lies
in the Northwest Territory. It
is 1,400 miles north of Edmonton,
Province of Alberta.
The nearest town, Yellowknife,

The Gift Superb miles away, a short distance es
mileage is computed in the Arctic
CHOKERS NECKPIECES wastes, as an imperial Oil settle-

people—only in the summertime.
This community becomes a ghost
town from December to March.
Wireless Operator

less operator, in the combined
meteorology and communications
outpost maintained by the Canadian
government in the interests of the
Department of Transport, a civilian

teen people who hazard the rigorous
winters whish send the temperatures
down to an average of 43 degrees
below zero in December.
About 250 Indians of the Slavt
and Dogride tries isit the trading
post. Other than those, no white men
visit Fort Norman during the entire
winter.
Very Little Snowfall
The snowfall is only 23 inches
for the season. This. is considered
very light in view of the extremely
low temperatures.
There are no means of travel
to reach the Northwest Territory
end Yukon Radio Station and Hud-
son Bay Post at Fort Norman, unless
it is by airplanes, which are equipped
with skits during the winter and
pontoons for !summer laudinge. The
Planes land either on the Mac-
Kenzie 'River or on a nearby lake.
• No passengers are flown into the
outpost, with mail end provisions
being the only ifems received. Dur-
ing the comparatively short summer
season — which lasts almost 10
weeks—e boat to that area, which
reaches outlying trading posts, is
operated by the Northern Transpor-
tation Company. Elven then, there
are no passengers venturing into
that almost Gocl-forsalten country.
Only freight is loaded or unloncled,
with the principal items of export
being furs.
