at Port in all. Two of them, Anna l-lerberger and H e a. t h or Joan Spice, were born in the settlement. H e a t h e r Joan's father is metallur- plst at the mine. Baby Anna has two brothers, Carl and Richard, and a sister Freda. Their father, Leo Herberger, is a ma- chinist and their mother came from Fort Norman. There are the Sexsmith children, Donald, Elizabeth and Edward. Their father is a mining engineer and their mother was graduat- ed from the University 0t‘ ‘fol-onto. The Sova young- sters, Gerald und Gale, are the children of chief ‘elec- trician Gordon Sova, and their mother comes from Oak Point, Manitoba. Young Wayn e Drinnan's father is in charge of the signals station at Port Ra- dium and William Van Eden's father 1s assistant accountant in the mine office.

Because the other young- sters regard Louise as their

The town clings to a. rocky promontory that juls out into Echo Bay. Some towns scam to grow from the soil; there is no soil at Port Radium, only rock, and the buildings have been set down on those harsh, rugged slopes, cling- ing grimly to each other for support, tied by an an- gular n e t w o 1" k of plank stalrways and xvooden flu- mes. Down by the water are the jettics, the gray cylinders of the oil tanks, the gaunt sawmill.

To the‘ jetties come the planes from the south, with {nail and supplies. To the Jettles 1n summer come the boats and barges from Fort Franklin 200 miles. down Great Bear Lake. They too

The trees are cut and trimmed, haul- crll over the winter ice by cater- pillar tractors, or in the sum- mer hauled in booms by a tug- boat. How _to establish and operate a mine so remote from sources of fuel and timber posed bu; problems to the men of El- dorodo 1n the early days. Much sweat and hard work went, into their solution.

Atop the rocky slopes above the waterfront are the neat duplex homes of the married folk, the staff-houses, the rec- reation hall, the cnmmiggary, cools-house, bunk-houses and office buildings. Beyond them the little hospital, then the sur- face buildings-of the mine and the tall towers of the R.C.C.S. station.

The unmarried workers and thosctlivho have left their fam- ilies outside" live in the bunk- houses. Most of the miners are from_ Euro e—-Polish, Latvian, Russian, krninian - rugged hard-rock men handpicked for this Job from such mines as Flin Flon, Sudbury, Kirkland Lake and Timmins.

All life in Port Radium cen- tres about the mine. Those who do not work for the mine itself are there to see that it is a safe, clean and well-ordered commun- ity. Up on the hill Staff Ser- fieant Gordon Drlnnan, of the

.C.C.S ennnnent force, and his two sig-nalmen Norman Ed- ' monds and Fred Wright run the radio station. Here Port Radium talks and listens to the outside world, keeps in touch with air- craft flying the sub-Arctic re- gions and especially with air- craft flying to or from the set- tlement. These men send out an average of ten messages a day, make weather reports every three hours, keep meteorological records. Dzinnan, with his wife Jean and little bo Wayne, was iosted to Port adium from

‘dmonton last year.

Constable Michael Harring- ton of the R.C.M.P. represents the law. Fifteen years with the Mounted, a native of southern Ireland and gossessor of a mag- nificent han lobar mustache, he came to Port Radium in 1948 as
