the first great winter blizzard
whipped across the land, driving
men and animals TO shelter. Steadi-
Is, through the night, the tempera-
ture fell, and all next day no living
thing went forth, while snow sifted
high amid the spruce clumps, and
ice crept out from the shallow
waters Of the shoreline to meet
across the channels, covering rivers
and lakes with an ever-thickening
cap that would soon become a high
way for trapper and hunter.
By early morning of the second
day the snow had ceased, and torn
clouds revealed the cold, sparkling
stars, but hour by hour the grip Of
winter frightened, and with the sun
rise Learmonth looked out upon a
changed white world-the winter
world Of the North.
The day after freeze-up, Colin
turned the photograph over to
Blair, and on her first trip to Win
nipeg she had delivered it into
Colonel Dowling's hands. Hes
having copies made" she told Colin.
He wants to send one Of them to
London. 1t may be two or three
weeks before we hear anything"
Colin nodded. "The minute you
do hear, fly over to the cabin. And
remember, if Dove makes another
night trip, let me know. Until then,
the safest thing for US is to work
at our jobs. Your job is flying the
mail; mine is trapping"
And the next day he and Alec
began to trap. Hanging his steel
traps in heavy balsam smoke until
the resin had obliterated all man
scent, Colin began work ten miles
back from his cabin. following a
small stream that he had known in
earlier days. The main trapping
was for cross and red fox on the
Upper Nelson, where Olsen had
warned Alec to keep away. Alec
himself was plainly nervous when
they entered that forbidden terri
tory.

ponds on Olsen"
Before many days, their lines ex-
tended for miles along the streams
and up over the ridges, while the
great white calm Of winter lay
across the land.
Colin chafed because nothing was
happening: No word from Winni-
peg about the photograph; Dove
showed no signs Of resuming his
midnight trips up the lake. and two
weeks had passed since freeze-up,
Then, without warning, on De-
cember 7, the settlement was
shocked by the news flashed up
from Winnipeg-the Japanese had
attacked the American feet at Pearl
Harbor. Colin heard it late that
afternoon from a trapper, and his
mind flashed back to the map he
had seen in Doves secret room: il
had been a map Of Pearl Harbor
The other map had shown the At
lantic coast: would that mean an
attack there by the Germans?
Hurrying to Learmonth, he ques-
toned Selkirk and Blair about
Doves activities, but there had been
no change. Beyond expressing pro-
found horror at the Japanese
treachery, Dove went quietly on
preparing his school for Christmas,

We have the record in Mr..

Technical Difficulties

The difficulty was net with the
basic idea, but with technical
difficulties. Those difficulties are
simply that the blood coagulates
and that it dissolves, on occasions.
This involves not the serum or
plasma, but the red cells which
float in it. They clump or agglu-
innate NEARLY the same as coag-
ulate) and they dissolve (hemo-

exposed to air, but what the trans
fusionists found out is that it.

right kind. We know, for instance.
that it is impossible safely 10 in
troduce the blood Of any animal
into mans circulation-that is
what throws the doubt on Mr..
Pepys. 1t is also now known that
the same thing happens when
the blood of certain humans is
introduced into the circulation Of
certain others.
Landsteiner's contribution was
70 show that every human being
has blood of an individual typt.
Only those types which match can
be used safely as donor and recip-
lent. Both donor and recipient
have to be typed if whole blood is
transfused. Blood plasma being
free of the Landsteiner bodies
can be used without tipping.
Agglutination Factor
The agglutination, or coagulat-
ing factor is the important one.
Type o agglutinates blood Of all
other types. Type ABB will not ag-
glutinate- blood of any individual.
Medicine once feared the dissolv-
ing, or hemolytic factor, but that
has been found to be negligible rs
a danger, although perhaps ac-
counting for some mild transfu-
sion reactions.
The latest discovery in the
blood TRANSMISSION field dates only
from 1910 with the discovery by
Landsteiner and Wiener of the
Ri factor. It's action depends on
the fact that il in the course Of
time, repeated transfusions are
made from one animal TO another,
the recipient always being the
same individual, the latter will
produce protective bodies against
the red blood, dumping or Taking
it. At first it may work fine, but
later on trouble occurs due to the
development Of the Ri factor.
Then it was found that some per-
sons with illnesses have the Ri
factor anyhow. This is especially
likely to occur with pregnant
women. The discovery accounted
for many previously unexplained
TRANSMISSION reactions. The factor
can now be detected and these re-
actions guarded against.
The Rh factor by the way is SO

tives, man, this physiologic pho

TOWNSEND CLUB HOLDS OUTING
 AT PETE PRISONS

Members of the Juneau Townsend Club enjoyed frolic yesterday on the spacious grounds of the country home of MT and Mrs. Albert Pet erson at the 13-mile post on the Loop Road. A filled bus left the bus depot at 10:45 o'clock in the forenoon and the picnickers were joined later by friends in private cars.

The pictures will be sent to the national magazine of the organization for publication.
 The day was overcast, with in termittent sunshine, and outdoor sports were enjoyed In a three inning baseball game between the junior and senior members of the Townsend Club the former scored two-to-one victory in the, ,last in- ming when Hank Anderson hit fast grounder which was muffed by Os- car Jensen at third and scored Carl 'Collen. G. E. Almquist, in a long drive to center, made home run, the only tally recorded by the sem iors. Albert Peterson was umpire. E In horseshoe pitching contest Albert Peterson and Hank Anderson defeated all corners.
 Both square" and round dancing was enjoyed on the porch to the lively music of Hans Lindseth, vlo- linist, and Albert Peterson, ac- cordionist.
 Good fellowship on pleasant day was made more enjoyable py tasty and abundant lunch of sand wiches, salads, beans, macaroni, hot stew and plenty of coffee. Mrs. Hans Nielsen and Mrs. Bob Burns were in charge of the lunch, assisted by Mrs. Almquist, Mrs. Olga Kletz- ing, Mrs. J. Mason, Mrs. Hank Anderson and Mrs. Rosness. Frank Garnick and his daughter, Miss Anita Garnick, came in their own car and brought additional supplies for the lunch.

only at night, when, for self-pro- lection, the small fish make their appearance, was completed May g. According to MT. Hutchinson, the down stream count this year was better than that of last season, but not up to the count in 1941. The pink salmon hatch this spring, he stated, is considered fairly good.
 Escapement in the stream is re- ported to have gone out in aver age time, with no delay having been caused by severe cold weather. Reason for the increase this sea- son over that of last year was due to familiar environment and cli- matic conditions.
 Operations at the counting weir begin about March 12 and continue through May, with the bulk of the fry migrating late in April.
 MT. Hutchinson will return to Little Port Walter in August, at which time the up stream migration count will begin.
