Canada Orders Radiation Probe

Officials of Canada's Depart ment of Northern Affairs has or dered program of radiation mea- surement and study in the Canadian arctic.
 A conservative biologist employed by the Department of Northern Af- fairs in Edmunton, Soin McEwan, said the problem of high radiation in the caribou food chain is enough to warrant special federal study.
 Nobody knows for sure the ef- feet eating caribou has on humans. This should be studied" McEwan said.
 He called for the government to establish committee of biologists to look into the matter.
 An analysis of bones should be taken at the time of post mortem in the north" he said.
 For several years, Northern Af- fairs officials have been worried over "ecological hotspots" of radia- tion in Canadas Far North. For the past two years they have been testing samples at Ottawa of cari- bou antlers, bones, and teeth of other animals. and lichens, the prin- cipal foodstuff of caribou.
 The studies have indicated that the Stronium 90 content in the bones has been higher than in other animals in more southern regions.

Although what happened many, many years ago on the Arctic coast may never apply in the present. day scheme of things, one old-time Eskimo found fool-proof cure for the green-eyed monster, jealousy.
 In the old days in the Arctic, men often had more than one wife. especially good hunters. Young ladies of the era considered mar riage to fine hunter a decided position of prestige. In the house. hold where wives of a hunter liv- ed together, there was usually cre- ditable harmony in the home. But once in while little rifts develop ed.
 The marriage of a hunter to his first wife was usually love match. Therefore, the first wife, usually, had the undisputed position of favorite of her husband. If he took on more wives, it was with the understanding that they were to help run household duties.
 The hunter who solved the jeal- ousy problem had married a second wife. Things went on we'll for a while, but soon friction began to develop between the two wives The new wife began to have jeal- ous tendencies towards the first wife.
 Heated Argument
 The hunter must have noticed

WIFE TROUBLE
 The Hunter Who Found A Cure for Jealousy

this rift from time to time and probably told his wives to behave themselves, or else.
 One day he came home to his sod igloo with some game he had caught. It was the usual custom for his wives to meet him outside the home upon his arrival, but neither one of them showed up on that particular day.
 Feeling sighted, he entered the lgloo and found his wives in heat ed argument and the bone of con- tentlon was, of course, himself The Tit had come to seething head with the new bride being the main instigator. The first wife, being the favorlte, was not in a position to lose her high standing and had made energetic defense of her honor.
 This was too much for the hus- band to take and he promptly took matters into his own hands and proceeded to cure the girls of their jealous tendencies.
 In the old days in the Arctic, coiffures of long braided tresses were a mark of beauty and style. The wives of the hunter wore their hair in that precise style, which he liked, of course.
 A furry of heated words were exchanged among the three which didn't do the temper of the hus- band any good at all At any rate the husband, being master of the household got the situation well in hand.
 He had his wives lie back to back on the floor and grimly started to tie their long braids of hair in a complex knot that was almost i'm. possible to unite.
 The girls, of course, were fit tc be tied. The only way they could get out of this tangled situation was to take their u1us twoman's lenife) and cut off their braids close to the nape of their necks.
 This was unheard of. Further more, it would be a shameful dis grace for the girls to cut off their hair. They would become the laugh ing stock of the whole village.
 The women cajoled and pleaded, but to no avail Their husband was determined to rid the girls of their silly jealousies.
 The inevitable took place and the girls tearfully divested themselves of their beautiful long braids. From that day on, harmony prevailed in the hunters household.

We'll, another Christmas and New Years Day has come and gone. It was happy time for the young CT generation. but to us old folks 1t brought back old memories.
 l remember what happy days they were for old and young people alike. Folks came into town with dogteams. It did not matter whether 1t was cold or warm, families or individuals, from near and far out of town came in.
 In those days we didn't know what the airplane was, so the people travelled with dogteams.
 In the old days we had big pot latches and danced every day from Christmas through the New Year. How we enjoyed that.

not uncommon to have drastic

On the other hand, If you have

that you should give that area

mind you that seed that is ex-

must be handled with at least
a little bit Of care certainly
more than oil beans.
Seeds carelessly handled may
be bruised, fractured, or even
perhaps killed In the harvesting
process. AS result, termination

Careless handling, cleaning,
and sacking of beans can also
cause injury and lowered ger
mination. Fractures caused by
rough handling allow diseases
to develop In the terminating
