VAL DOR, Que. - You can
walk along the main street OF
this gold mine boomtoWn and
meet a dozen millionaires be-
fore you've gone three blocks.
Ten years ago Val Dor - or
Valley of Gold - was impene-
trable bush It's population was
five prospectors who had moth
ing more to their names than
pickaxes and 30-pound packs of
grub and equipment. Then the
Sisko gold mine was discovered,
and the rush was on.
Today Val Dor is an orderly
town of $500 that knows exact
ly where it's going. 1t has five
rich producing mines, a thou
sand more prospective mines,
and the promise of becoming one
of the big metropolises of the
north.

Mike Mitto is a typical Horatio
Alger character. Mike, w h o
went TO school with Stain in
his native Georgia, came to Can
ada with little more than am
bition and physical fortitude so
necessary in this north country.
The first man into Val Dor,
he pushed his way through the
bush on a tractor to stake his
claims. Today he is one of the
Dominion's ri C hest men. has
hundreds of acres Of mining
property both here and at Yel-
lowknife in western Canada. 10
which he commutes by plane.
Everyone has the gambling
spirit in this town. They'll put
their last penny into mining.
No matter where you go or
whom you meet, the conversa-
tion always turns to gold.
STEAK 65 CENTS
The proprietor of the Chinese
restaurant will spend Is min
utes bemoaning how close he
came to making killing on a
stock that jumped from Is cents
to a dollar and q half overnight,
before taking your dinner order.
But when dinner does come it's
really something. You can get
juicy, tender two-pound sir
loin steak with all the trim
mings for IS cents.
That's not typical OF prices
: Val Dor however. Property
prices, for instance, have sky
rocketed. A business lot that
once sold for 5000 is worth SIS
600 if you can buy it. Rents
are whatever you're luck

that life did not begin in 1888 nor
when they were born; that they
are the possessors OF a heritage
rich in God-glyer gifts and that in
the personality OF Lincoln is the
symbol OF all OF them.
Perhaps the p esidents of the
United States since Lincoln have
not been lat all times dramatic,

ening their freedoms. And as John
Foster Dulles recently said:
=. Above all, what We did was
done by the people themselves.
They kept control of their own
destinies and enjoyed the unique
satisfaction which comes from the
'nse of creation rather than be.
ing the subjects OF official regi-
mentation and the objects of public
bounty"
This is a country whose history
justifiably evokes pride not only
love of country but pride in coun-
try. Dulles in the same address
sid that for 100 years peoples
elsewhere had fought to get. not
to menace. the kind of society we
had invented" And that is true.
for during the latter part of the
nineteenth century and even up
to tic 1920's most of the world
looked upon the United States as
a model for all peoples. But that
is not true today. Somehow the
world has turned away from us and
our ways. Europe has degenerated
into slavery as an accepted wav
OF life. Even in our country mil.
lions OF our people favor enslave-
ment TO the state. The gloriors

In spite Of his defect he lived
very free from indigestion, heart
burn, digestive upsets, gas, or
diarrhea, and always had a good
appetite. He did not develope an

when he got an Irish mad on, but

He smoked q pipe in moderation
and sometimes cigarettes. Tobacco
did not have any apparent action,
good or bad, on the appearance of
the surface Of the stomach. 1t did
not cause any increased or de-
creased secretion, nor did it affect
the rapidity Of the digestion of a
meal which was already in the
stomach.
OF course, it is emphasized that
he smoked in moderation, and it
also should be pointed out that he
could not, by the nature Of his
anatomical defect, swallow any
saliva impregnated with tobacco,
SO his stomach was saved much of
the trouble that comes TO the aver
