I ''It might make the situation more complex. but it just might be the solution." said Mr. Gulley. Industrial development might help. Most of the Doukhobors have only part-time work In for- ests.and orchards. Industry might encourage the Sons. through eco- nomic benefits. to move away from their present sparse fann- lands. MOUNTII-2's VIEW For years the Sons of Freedom have bumed bridges and homes and dynamited railroad tracks. p if don't blame the Sons of Free- ',dom for all the bombings and fires that take place." said Staff lsergaant Larry Smith who has ibeen attached to RCMP detach- lments in the Nelson area for 'nearly 25 years. , , There are other Doukhobors .wi 'l an ax to grind. And there ,are people who think that if the iboukhobors can get away with it. l'so can I."' 1 There .were two railway blast- .ings in southeastern B.C. last iyear, the first at Shoreacres. M miles from Nelson, late in Octo- her. and the second on Christmas day in the same area. They did little damage. There's a 50-50 chance that it wasn't Freedomites who were re- sponsible," said Sgt- Smith.

MOOSE FACTORY, Ont. (CP) Here in Ontario's northland a new hospital stands out In contrast to nearby buildings dating back to the early lwos when the Hudson's Bay Companyi was establishing trading posts in the area-
The six-yearold building m the Moose Factory Indian Hospital- is situated on an island in the Moose River some 12 miles from James Bay.
The modern. 200-bed hospital is filled most of the time with Es- kimos and Indians. many of them suffering from tuberculosis. They come from the Hudson Bay area or from Moose Factory and vicin- lty.
Like many other hospitals. the Moose Factory institution has op- ened a new handicraft section where patients work at their na- tive skills.
In a large handicraftshop Eski- mo: and Indians make use of their talents by carving or working with beads.
There are Eskimo patients. flown down from Great Whale River. Port Harrison and The Bel- cher Islands who do soapstone carving, while Indian patients try their hands at moccasin-making and fine silk embroidery on par- kas.
Real artists cl-lsionally turn up. One bead worker designed strip of heading depicting Eskimo life. It showed in succession a dog team and sled, the catching of a seal. the trading post of the Hudson's Bay Co. and a hunter dragging his catch over the ice. The patients' work is bought by
