gruplls til a baby whooping crane and its parents have been con- tributed to the Saskatchewan museum of natural history by two llegina naturalists who spent 10 tlilyti in a southern Saskatchewan marsh observing the activities of north America's largest and rar- (NI of birds.

The birds spend the summer in the Northwest Territories and win- tcr at the Aransas game refuge in "IX-xus. Fewer than 30 are known to exist.

When it was reported that tile birds had ailglited in late Octo- her in the Weyburn district 55 miles southeast of Regina. Fred W Lahrman and Richard Fyfe of the museum went to the spot with riimeras equipped with telephoto

were feeding about 100 yards from him. y

"it was really amazing to see. the huge parents and the smaller, dark baby stepping through the; quite deep snow to feed." Fyie said afterwards. "Only once be-I fore. in l953. have whoopers bcenl known to stop off in the prairies. so late in the year and then they dldnit have a baby with them."

The naturalists said the ehick'5i black plumage may have resultcdi from the late hatching due to a delayed spring. The big birds nor- mally are white with black wing tips.

Lahrman and Fyfe said they be- lieve the birds they photographed may have spent the summer the Lafleche district. lln miles southeast of Regina instead of the usual nesting grounds farther north. Lahrman won a special na- tional newspaper award citation in 1953 for his unusual picture of three whooping cranes in flight.

URANIUM CITY. Sask. (CPL- This lusty offspring of the Atha- bsskii uranium hunt is rapidly settling down into a regular com- munlty. but is losinginone of its optimism in the process.

"The 'boomers' have come and gone." says Paul Vincent. first mayor of the newly-formed muni- cipallty. "We've settled down to serious business."

when Mr. Vincent arrived bare in I952 tents were used for a grocery store and a clalm-record- iiig office. A crude sign said: "This is Uranium City site.”

Now there is network of streets cutting through the evergreens to string together a townsite popula- tion of 2.500 and 42 places of bus- iness. The population within the municipal boundaries. which in- clude surrounding mines and their residential sites. is 5.500.

indications of metals other than uranium in the area may result in more mines being developed. Today. nearly every square foot in a 25-mile radius from the town- site is reported staked out. but still the prosnectors come and

go.

SUPPLIES PLOWN IN

Barges carry supplies from the end of steel at Waterways over the 260-mile water router across Lake Athabaska. About eight tons of perishable food is flown to Ur- anium City each week-not includ- ing supplies flown in privately for

ining company ptl ncl.

Prices, of course. are higher than in Edmonton. There is an extra fiva cents added to the price of a chocolate bar. Cars are about 8200 higher here. There're about 500 cars and trucks for the limited road mileage.

The burgeoning community is having trouble finding the money to provide services to its grow- ing population. Mayor Vincent es- timates that 83.M0.000 will be needed for capital expenditure: in the next two years.

The town already has a Si.- 000.000 hospital. it plans a new elementary school which will cost 8270.000, a high school. and the community: first sewer an of water system. which would re- quire approximately 81,500,000.

A 325 poll tax levied this your on mine employees living Olllf-KIC the townsite brought a clamor of protest. The tax finally was re- duced to 820.

The municipality argued the tax would pay for townsita services used by tho outsiders. But the mill and mine workers replied that they rarely entered town.

They supported their case with the story of one mine official who lived and worked in the area for a year without visiting Ursiniuni City. Then he went to the town- site out of curiosity.

Train Wolves As Sled Dog:

WOLLASTON LAKE. Sask. (CF) Tuo fuilbiooded timber wolves are lieiug broken in as sled dogs this winter by Wayne Bradford, man-, aizer of the Saskatchewan Govern-g niciit trading post at this northern Saskatchewan town. i

ltlr. Bradford captured the two uulvi-s, a male and a female. nine. muiitlis ago when they were just at week old. The mother. and seven other wolves were shot after theyl hail in-come a menace to district Iinhcrnicri. I

with a litter of Husky pups still being ucancd by their mother. The Husky apparently didn't no-L tice the difference and accepted- the two new arrivals. I

Mr. Bradford said the pups are playful. Iiis four-year-old snii Billyl played with them all summer. I

"From the way the two of theml waggcd their tails sometimes. I: found it hard to believe they werel actually wolves." Mr. Bradford- said.

When he first tried the wolves on a sled. Mr. Bradford found that instead of trotting as normal sled dogs do. the wolves preferred to gallop. He hopes he can sli-j minate this peculiarity during thel winter training. I.

In any case, the wolves. mll('Itl larger than normal llusies. are. worth five huskics on a sled toam' anytime. says Mr. Bradford.
