WINTER LINGEED

Lindamood's camp at Lake Beechey, 275 miles northeast of Yellowknife. consisted of two small tents and a radio mast atop a bar- ren hill surrounded by glacial mor sine. The site was chosen by the company because the hill provided a useful fix for the aircraft. ,

The ncnrest neighbors were the Eskimos of a tiny camp 20 miles away. A.scant 1f)0 miles to the north lay the Arctic Circle. The nearest white men's community was 140 miles distant.

The first work in November is gener- ally conceded to be the goose week. The odd goose is being picked up by the persistent hunter and also by those who do not hunt at all.

A goose incident that happened this wcck just came to my notice. it has its amusing as well as its not so amusing side. It appears -two goose hunters, from the home of goose hunters approximately 10 miles across the river from the city. were shunting bent in Village Green. They took a shot at a flock and watched one of its members leave the flock and fall several hundred yards away near a farm-
