MISS FOOD CACHE gBeslde a lake along the survey l line Houde had arranged to place a food cache in late October. The food was placed Oct. 22 but as snow covered the countryside. changing the appearance of the muskeg land, the survey party was unable to find it. In desperation as the food sup- ply dwindled in November. two and three groups were sent out ‘ daily to search for the cache. And I on Nov. 22 the last food in camp . was consumed. ‘llere was no other discomfort, The l5 men had fuel and matches. tents and warm bedding. Tempera. tures that. frequently dropped un- der 20 below zero didn't bother them. But there was no food. Every rabbit shot was divided — but hunting was bad. Only l4 were killed during the 39-day period of hunger. Christmas Eve came without a sign that rescue was near. The men P1fl-Yed that night — and‘ went hungry Christmas Day. But. the search was already un- der way. Houde went to Schne- tene DEC- 21. having discovered that the food cache was untouch- ed. and organized search parties. Indians on snowshoes were sent out to scour the area and planes were pressed into service later. Pilot Spradbrow was accom- panled by Air Engineer J. H. Lucas and J. D. Gal-dean, land surveyor sent out from Quebec by the pro- vincial Government. The plane left Rouyn Friday morning and Spradbrow refuelled at a/camp on the Nottaway. The pilot could un- derstand how the cache was un- found. "There was no lane leading to the lake where the cache was and most of the country is muskeg. lake and flat country," he said. "It is most difficult to establish a land mark. We. visited the cache and it had not been touched.” It was nearly dark Friday when the Bprudlbrow party sighted a man waving at the plane. The lake on which he stood was too small for a landing and the party de- cided to return New Years morn- 1118. Spending the night at their base. "‘We returned in the morning and saw men frantically waving their arms.“ said the pilot. “We thought at first they were mem- bers of one of the Indian search parties but we flew low and found they were not Indians." --—-€___.

Unemployed Placed Over Seveil Million WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 - (AH-—- The National Unemployment cen- sus lnformed President Roosevelt Saturday that the total of the United States unemployed lay be- tween 7.822.912 and a possible maximum oi 101370.000. i Its findings were based upon the i fact‘ that a voluntary registration of the unemployed conducted be- . tween Nov l6 and Nov. 20, 1837. showed 7.822.912 u» be. by their own testimony. out of work am‘ wanting work. while a simultane- ous house-to-house canvas in sel- ected arcas indicated that this tu- tal was but _72 per_cent. complete sweep down on one slip of your‘ face and climb bid! on the other. i Saskatchewan. may be judged from .cr0p for um is estimated at m2 l ‘carloadings of lumber, pulpwood, transportation from the rapid development. commercial transport which makes tain other countries have, by more thorough regulation of transport, come clmer to a solu- of commercial ior tile unprecedented drought in fields, lights radio beams and me_ lcoroiogical equipment.

Canada's wheat i million bushels as against 229 for i936 and 567 for 1928. Saskatche- wan's wheat crop is estimated at 32 million bushels for 1937 as against 117 for 1936 and 321 for 192B. Turning to the forest products industries, it is encouraging to note the sharp rise in Canadian Restoring Wage Rates The Canadian National has con- tributed its share to the slow but sure reduction of the burden of _ unemployment. Together with the other railways of Canada it is re. storing wage rates, on a sliding scale, to a level which by the first of April 1938 will equal the pre. depression high-mark. Due to this wage restoration and to the employment of additional forces required because of increased traf- flmjllllges Paid by the Canadian National to its Canadian employees in 1937 exceeded by more than five million dollars the wages paid in 1936. Nevertheless it is anticipag- ed that the requirements of the system. in the foml of cash ex- penditure by the Dominion Gov- ernment to meet fixed charges. will be still further reduced for the sixth consecutive year. The reduction pulp, paper and other ilcms ‘which. L B_ r-Lmugy . during 1937, exceeded by 202'. or '| more the totals for the previous year. A similar 20% increase has taken place in Canada's tourist business. and a 157. increase ill passenger traffic on the Canadian National Railways. Travel by rail has been rendered more attractive by the air-conditioning of addi- tional trains, and by an average reduction of 10% in regular pas- senger rates made in i936. It is believed that these measures. to- gether with the continued offer- ing of frequent lowfareexcursions. have contributed materially to the Who has retired from the omoo Comptrnllcr of tho (‘zlrliulian N ional Ruilwoyb‘ after 45 YPBYI service. popularity of railway passenger this year would have been much “Yvlce- more substantial but for the Sas- Transportafion katchewan crop failure and the recent recession in business. ‘Fills hesitation in business ac- tivity must be recognized as a fac. tor affecting the future. Never- theless, railway earnings are a. significant index and although at the present time there are signs of the general upward trend being slightly retarded, we may look for- ward to the year i938 with every hope that the steady progress dur- ing the past four years will be maintained. - Canada. in company with many other countries, is faced with a probleml arising of use of the public highways.
