We turned west at Great Slave
lake and after three attempts, we
finally hit the narrow Hay river
channel in safety and spent the
night at Hudson Bay post.
We had barely started on the fol-
lowing morning, heading across
Great Slave lake toward the Mac
kenzie river, when We ran head-on
into snowstorm.
Flakes swirled thickly about us
shutting off everything. Had the
storm continued, we must have been
hopelessly lost. Fortunately we soon
burst through it and found that Full
lerton had stayed on the course.
The Mackenzie river stretched out
below US. We circled Fort Provi
dence, but made no stop, and two
hours later we made a perfect land
ing at Fort Simpson, tying up at d
sand bar in the river.
We awoke early the next morning
for we had to make Fort Norman
before nightfalI We had flown
barely an hour before we noticed a
bad leak in the radiator The river
below us was ice-choked, but Full
terton picked out free SPOT and we
made successful forced landing
just above 1.-TWO Islands" and tied
UP to a huge ice block. In two
hours repairs were completed and
we took off with the aid of two curl
Gus Indians who had been attracted
by our landing.
We swept over Fort Wrigley at
an altitude of only 100 feet and at a
speed of 100 miles an hour. Natives
were wonder-struck. After we pass
ed the fort, we climbed and when
we reached Norman we were at
400 feet. The panorama of noun
tains, lakes and rivers that stretched
out below us was magnificent
AS we circled down about Nor
man. the men at the fort ran up
flags. The water appeared smooth
as glass and we anticipated an easy
landing.
Fullerton, however smashed his
fawless record of five years, for we
landed with hard bump and one
of our pontoons crushed like an egg
shell. The right wing began to sink,
and it looked as if we all would have
to swim for it.
Canoes put out from the fort and
rescued us, towing the wrecked
plane to shore.

- congress has just concluded the
ashOst important meeting in its his
tory, and was by unanimous vote of
the delegates representing nearly ev-

Aside from the great personal
| honor involved in the election, it was
significant in its bearing on the many
efforts for world peace that are GO
ing forward Miss Addams is devot-

LAW-BREAKING

Cable reports that the new Far
Eastern Republic, located somewhere
IN Siberia and inhabited largely by
people somewhat retarded in civil
zatlon, has enacted a prohibition law.
But, strict though the law is, the
benghted citizens defiantly break it
at every opportunity.
What else can be expected Of a
backward people? However, as they
become more experienced in self-gov-
eminent, they will learn that liberty
IS not license. Then they will obey
all laws whether they like them or
not, as IS done in older and more en-
hghtened republics! Tra-la-la! ..

she decided she wanted something

The judge was lenient because
Marguerite told the truth. For
