Canadian Mines Handbook -13 Help was desperately needed, said the speaker. The Finnish army, after all, was small and it could not hope to hold out forever against the hundreds of thousands of Stalin’s hordes who were being thrown against them. If men and supplies were sent there was a strong possibility that Russia would be defeated -â€"- or at least held until the Russians themselves rebelled against the dictatorship which threw them so callously to their deaths. There was little to be said which had not already been said. Mr. Pulli remark- ed. "Finland is fighting for her life. The Finns are a home-loving people and they are fighting for their homes. You may be sure that. they will fight until the last man. They could not tolerate the yoke of slavery that. the Soviet Union would impose if they surrendered." "Furthermore," said Mr. Pulli. “this Finnish army is trained in a particular sort, of a way. It has been trained to take advantage of whatever natural obstacle it can findwto fight. the type of guerilla warfare which has proved to be so effective against the Russians."

They hurriedly dressed and got their belongings out. The small house to the immediate west of the Bardessono block and owned and formerly occupied by Mr. Bardessono. was in great danger and firemen kept water on it to keep it from igniting. The Doranda Hotel, which is at the rear of Friedman’s, was also in some danger as was the Daher block on the immediate north. ' Smoke. sparks and burning pieces of wood were carried by the wind to the south For- tunately the open space of the ball park‘ was there and not a building. - From then on it was a matter of en- durance for firemen. They poured wat- er from eight lines of hose. More than thirty-five firemen helped to fight the flames. All twenty-one of the regular paid force were on hand and volunteers were called out of bed to assist. Firemen. soaked with water and exposed to below zero weather for hours at a time, Were not in enviable positions. Their helmets. gloves and rubber coats were drenched with water .and many of them were wet through to the skin. In the cold air the water soon froze and the fire-fighters began to look like walking ice men. Every- where the water touched it froze solid. Hose lines, hydrants and the dripping walls. were soon covered with a two and three inch sheet of ice. The fire is one of the worst that has been experienced in Timmifns in some time. Fxom a fiieman‘s point of view it was a difficult fne inasmuch as it was hard to fight due to the cold {the smoke and the impossibility of locatfibg the fire which seemed to follow neams and. rafters with incredable lapidito.
