EDMONTON, ALBERTA.-Almost
forgotten by millions of Canadian

Each year they look forward to a
merry Christmas--if the weather is
good and parcels arrive by plane
in time for the annual celebration.
Christmas express and provisions
usually reach Adkavik, l,480 miles
northwest of Edmonton, few days
before Christmas. Another PARKWAY
place is Coppermine, LOO miles
north of Edmonton on Coronation

the trip to that outpost from Port
Radium on Great Bear lake.
But even though Christmas pro-
visions don't come through by air
plane, residents of the arctic waste
lands are brought to civilizations

the magic of radio.

= moving figure seemed almost
part of the landscape. Half dozen
cars whizzed by but no one stopped
to offer him a lift or ask where he
was going, If the Spirit of Christ
mas, of kindness, was abroad, it was
surely passing him up.
Ten minutes more of plodding
through the chill, darkening air, and
another car came roaring down the
road, passing him by as the others
had done. The grim lines around his
mouth grew deeper, then he heard a
loud grinding of brakes.
"Almost passed you up" a gay
voice cried.
"Pretty fine of you to stop for an
old man." He shuffled into the va
cant seat as he spoke.
"Oh, that's nothing" the gay
voice was a bit embarrassed. "But
I did almost pass you up. With this
Christmas business, and the rush
and hurry, one could pass up their
own mother"

Santa Won't Miss

u. S. Community

PENASSE, MINI. - Youngsters
living in this isolated community are
quite confident Santa Claus won't
pass them by this Christmas. Pen
asse, you see, is St. Nicholas first
stop in the United States, and the
farthest north point in the nation. If
he gets past the customs officials, St.
Nick has to visit Penasse.
The bewhiskered gentleman aban-
dons his reindeer before he reaches
Penasse each year, because the
deep snow usually hampers even
those sturdy steeds. He travels by
ski-equipped airplane, flown to the
isolated village twice each week
from Warroad.
Penasse's only other visitor in the
winter is Indiana Pete, a trapper
living on a nearby island in the
Lake of the Woods. The postmis-
tress is Miss Helen Arnold, twenty
two, who admits business isn't very
rushing-even at Christmas time.
