 ST. ANTHONY, N. F. July 21.- The goat is no stranger to Labrador and Newfoundland. But such a speci- men of the goat world as this month starts his tourney northward on the steamer Rosalind with 30 volunteers bound for work with the International Grenfell Association has never been seen in northern wilds.
 Time has yet to show whether he shares with his race the penchant for clean laundry and household plants. but he fares forth not only as mascot but missionary. One looks forward to the day when the Labrador land scape shall be replete with his pro geny. and both kids and kiddies of the coast smile with fatness.
 Another Yankee at the court of King Arthur" a donation of we'll known American friend, is tractor and blow, destined to prepare an in- hospitable soil for useful agriculture and enable the fishermen to ward off some of their present scourges, as beri-beri and scurvy. by coaxing re- luctant cabbages and the recalcitrant potato into being.
 Radium to Fight Disease
 Our Excalibur is no less powerful an ally in the fight against disease than 50 milligrams of radium, given by friends in Pittsburg-the only radi- um possessed by population of 300, 900 people of our own race.
 In summer they will come in schoon CTS and mail boats and motor boats and skiffs, young and old, men and women; and in winter "on dogs" over the frozen sea and snowy hills all guided by that star of hope where there was no hope before.
 Two years ago, the directors of the International Grenfell Association real ized that as a direct aftermath of the war the English, Scotch and American fishermen of the Labrador and north Newfoundland coast would be serious ly impoverished. owing both to the closing of their remunerative Medi- terranean markets and to the inevita- ble business depression which would affect Newfoundland in common with other countries involved in the great conflict.
 Anticipating for themselves finan- cial difficulties in the maintenance of the five small hospitals, nursing sta tions and other activities which have sprung up since Dr. w. T. Grenfell first began his work in the north. 30 years ago, they decided to try to safe guard these various enterprises by raising a partial endowment fund of a million and a half dollars, asking friends in the four constituent Anglo Saxon countries to contribute to this joint appeal.
 In October, 1920, the first effort was made in Toronto, and $72,000 was rais- ed there in a week. Quebec followed with $26,000, Chicago with $92,000. In the spring of 1921 $700,000 had been pledged in the cities of the United States and Canada which Dr. Grenfel1 had been able to visit.
 After his summers work on the La brador coast. as the goal of endow-, ment was still so far distant, the doc tor decided it was imperative to con- tinue the appeal during the winter of 1921-22, visiting some of those cities not included in the lecture tour of the previous year.
 Now we are starting north, again.
 $1,00o,o00 Fund in Sight
 After two years of hard work only a million dollars endowment fund is in sight.
 But backed by it and an engineer corps like the tractor a potential com misariat department, and such a wea- pon of aggressive warfare as radium, Dr., Grenfell feelse sufficient power at his elbow to tackle the problems of many day to come.
