._EI_HTORIAL zyom. Tnn i. m. Yshlrd of a. series of articles by a famous Canadian Writer on the Eldorado mine and Canada's part in the development of atomic power. By LESLIE McFARLANE

Port Radium, out 0st of the atom, is _no frigi settle- ment struggllng to survive in g land of perpetual snow and ma. Many towns and cities elsewhere in Canada endure weather quite as cold. The average mean temperature of the Mackenzie Valley, in fact, 15 about equal to that of Port Althur. It seems a good deal meaner at Port Radium be- cause the winters are longer.

In the winter of 1944-45, the lowest temperature re- corded at the R.C.G.S. station at the mine was 39 below zero F. In July of this year the mercury climbed to 79 degrees. In the depths of the mine the temperature stays between 32 and 40 degrees the year round. Food supplies for the entire camp are kept in a storage vault hewn out of the rock in the mine.

The Arctic winds that sweep across Great Bear Lake in the darkness of the winter months are bitter. And be- cause freeze-up comes early in October, with break-up in late June, the ice on Great Bear freezes to a. depth of six feet. Dig two or three feet under the muskeg of the Bar- rens and you'll strike ice the year round.

The enemy of Port Radium is not cold weather but dist- ance. Distance reflected in the high cost of every article brought in from Edmonton 1,000 miles away, with air freight at 55 cents a pound. Water transportation is cheaper at $100 a ton now as against $400 a ton in the early days of the mine. '

The families living at Port Radium stock up with cases of canned goods and staples brought in by boat during the short summer. Occasion- ally they order other supplies by air express but most of the routine food purchases are made at the Eldorado cook-house. The mine com- missary is the local depart- ment store, where clothing is sold at cost and tobacco and chocolate bars sell at Ed- monton prices. The commis- sary shows a profit of about $200 a month. This money goes into s. recreation fund. It helped pay for the billiard tables in the community hail, for the books in the library, the projection machine and the movies that are shown every Friday availing, for the bowling alleys now being in- stalled, and for the curling rink being built this winter.

The others are fully occu ie looking after their homes and ables.

A strin of lights on the community hsﬁ tree astounded o, group of wido- Byed Indian visitors last season. The Indians couldn't understand Why the “candles" didn't set the tree on ﬁre. .

The Christmas program this year will differ little from that of last season. A Christmas party and tree for the oungsters, 1n the recreation hall. pecial Christ- rrms dinner ‘for the men, in the cook-house dining hall. Air ex- press charges bring‘ the cost of s five-pound chicken to $4 at "Port Radium, but there will be Christ- mas poultry in every home. And on Christmas Eve, accordin to tradition, t ere will be a psrgv at Manager d Bolgefs house, with a good des of visiting around thereafter. lzt Christmas Day will not dawn-for there is neither dawn nor daylight at that time of year.

If this aspect of life in Port Radium scams treated at undue length the writer has no apologies.

_ It rs one o! the dominant impres-

sions. And perhaps there is an alogy. The atom is split when

s tive forces are gresterthpn inding forces. So it is with

s ‘ with the worl . People are beginning to realize in these first months of the atomic age that the world _ community cannot afford to continue a dog- cat-dogbexistsnce any Ion er, that world mthsrhood is no onger s distant ideal but _s.n immediate no- sity. Port Rsdlum may be a lit- tle object lesson 1n human rela-

ons.

Edmund Bolgci, Belleville-born mining en 'necr who mane cs the Eldorsdo ine, says that a _dld not know whet use was being made of the itchblende concen- trates from El orsdo until the se- cret was revealed in August.

"I only knew that the job we: important. We wcm promised top riorities on men snd materials.

The two prospectors worked their way northward. There were bays in Great Bear Lake more than twenty-five miles deep, un- marked on any map. Glare ice on the lake made travelling difficult and the two men equipped them- selves with steel creepers to hold their footing on the slipper; ice. Occasionally they had to atom- eround enormous pressure cracks. Sometimes they prospected as for

as tan miles inland. By the time in

they reached Conjurer Bay on May 1st their prospecting had been without result. By the time they reached Echo Bay on May 18th, 5t. Paul hadbeen stricken snow-
