There her father and mother ilvelcom- ed her with joyful excite- ment and life has been a. good deal of an adventure for Louise ever bince. aware that it guards the entrance to caverns of a magic surpassing all the sorcery of the fairy stories. For a million years the rocks of Eldorudo have been the prison of genii. They have now been set‘ free, lei loose in the world Wlfill powers of good and evil over the h-uman race. This is a tale too vast for the children's understand-l mg. To the yroungsters, Port Radium 1s simply the plzwe ery, shipped down over the portages of Great Bear River to the Mac- kenzie, thence to Waterways and the end of steel. The screeching sawmill on I the xvatcrfront is of special in- terest to little LDLllSE Roulette _ because her father is bush fore- zn_ari for-the hldorado Company.

But gitchblende is the richest rize. or a long time it meant ut one thing—-radium, rarest of all elements. New it means uranium, once regarded as a by- product-uranium, element of the heaviest atoms. And because they are the heaviest they are the most unstable; the force that; binds them together is less tenacious than that of other atoms. So man has been able to pry them open, releasing energy vaster than our minds can easi- ly comprehend. The oil wells and coa mines of the continent, Radium is probabl the health- iest place in Cana a, for all the abnormal gloom of sub-Arctic winter. Major William Baker, of the R.G.A.M.C. says the climate makes his work easier and_that all illness is imported. Twlcen year, WhCTI HEW‘ HIGH BITIVG Ill the spring and fall to replace those whose contracts are up, an epidemic of colds sweeps Port Radium. lt lasts for a week or ten days.

Highly concentrated vitamin tablets are served at every meal in the din- at cost and Port Radium even had a~quota of 60 pairs of silk stockings this year. In a com-f munity where slacks and shirtl are the accepted garb for sum- mer and ski suits are nerally worn in winter, the dif culty of getting children's clothing is o! grea r concern. For a while the youn mothers of the town thought t is was one of the fir: alties-of living in the sub- _ tic. ‘When they learned that mothers in towns and c1t1es_a1l over Canada have been battling the sa e problem for months they f t more reconciled.

Two of them, Anna l-lerberger and H e a. t h or Joan Spice, were born in the settlement. H e a t h e r Joan's father is metallur- plst at the mine. Baby Anna has two brothers, Carl and Richard, and a sister Freda. Their father, Leo Herberger, is a ma- chinist and their mother came from Fort Norman. There are the Sexsmith children, Donald, Elizabeth and Edward. Their father is a mining engineer and their mother was graduat- ed from the University 0t‘ ‘fol-onto. The Sova young- sters, Gerald und Gale, are the children of chief ‘elec- trician Gordon Sova, and their mother comes from Oak Point, Manitoba. Young Wayn e Drinnan's father is in charge of the signals station at Port Ra- dium and William Van Eden's father 1s assistant accountant in the mine office. Because the other young- sters regard Louise as their things. The town clings to a. rocky promontory that juls out into Echo Bay. Some towns scam to grow from the soil; there is no soil at Port Radium, only rock, and the buildings have been set down on those harsh, rugged slopes, cling- ing grimly to each other for support, tied by an an- gular n e t w o 1" k of plank stalrways and xvooden flu- mes. Down by the water are the jettics, the gray cylinders of the oil tanks, the gaunt sawmill. To the‘ jetties come the planes from the south, with {nail and supplies. To the Jettles 1n summer come the boats and barges from Fort Franklin 200 miles. down Great Bear Lake. They too ring supplies - machin- ery, explosives, food stores, by the ton. They also bring the oil from Fort Norman, oil that 1's the settlements life blood. Oil to run the big Diesel engines in the power- house. The powerhouse is Port (is a ’hen a stand located the bush crew sets out l0 si h sh a camp. The present camp is 05 IllllBS,3.‘.V3_\/. The trees are cut and trimmed, haul- crll over the winter ice by cater- pillar tractors, or in the sum- mer hauled in booms by a tug- boat. How _to establish and operate a mine so remote from sources of fuel and timber posed bu; problems to the men of El- dorodo 1n the early days. Much sweat and hard work went, into their solution. Atop the rocky slopes above the waterfront are the neat duplex homes of the married folk, the staff-houses, the rec- reation hall, the cnmmiggary, cools-house, bunk-houses and office buildings. Beyond them the little hospital, then the sur- face buildings-of the mine and the tall towers of the R.C.C.S. station. The unmarried workers and thosctlivho have left their fam- ilies outside" live in the bunk- houses. Most of the miners are from_ Euro e—-Polish, Latvian, Russian, krninian - rugged hard-rock men handpicked for this Job from such mines as Flin Flon, Sudbury, Kirkland Lake and Timmins. Like all Eidorudo employees, they come to Port Radium on yearly contracts, physical strength the heavy work And yet it locks innocent enough, this stuff of nlchemists’ dreams, after the ore has been chewed u by the bifi machines in the mi l and sent t rough the rocesses of separation. Just a envy black powder, ready to be bagged and stored away zgainst the arrival of the next oat All life in Port Radium cen- tres about the mine. Those who do not work for the mine itself are there to see that it is a safe, clean and well-ordered commun- ity. Up on the hill Staff Ser- fieant Gordon Drlnnan, of the .C.C.S ennnnent force, and his two sig-nalmen Norman Ed- ' monds and Fred Wright run the radio station. Here Port Radium talks and listens to the outside world, keeps in touch with air- craft flying the sub-Arctic re- gions and especially with air- craft flying to or from the set- tlement. These men send out an average of ten messages a day, make weather reports every three hours, keep meteorological records. Dzinnan, with his wife Jean and little bo Wayne, was iosted to Port adium from ‘dmonton last year. Constable Michael Harring- ton of the R.C.M.P. represents the law. Fifteen years with the Mounted, a native of southern Ireland and gossessor of a mag- nificent han lobar mustache, he came to Port Radium in 1948 as posed to the rays of sun-lamps. This artificial sunshine is avail- able to everyone in the sunless days of winter.
