'PAGE SIX # ist... THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE t 2] Santa In Shape-- [IWR INRMRI INDI | News From North pr nT Aklavik, N.W.T. (CP)--Charlie | Smith has come in from the north | with a good report for all those' | who believe that a special kind of magic lies over the Arctic at this Christmas season, | | Charlie Smith is a reindeer herd- | er from Tunoonik -- which in |'Charlie's Eskimo language is "The End of Land" -- in the govern- | ments great reindeer-grazing re- serve in the Northwest Territories. As such he is also reindeer herder for Santa Claus. Unofficially, that is. But Charlie takes his unofficial job conscien- fously. And so, before mushing to Aklavik to spend Christmas with his wife, he took a look around the far north to make sure all was well with the prospects for Christ- mas everywhere. His black eyes twinkling deep in his chubby countenance, Charlie | reports that all is as it should be at the North Pole at this time of year. Santa Claus is in fine shape, he says, and will be around on the | night before Christmas to pay a call on all those who know there | is a Santa Claus. And his reindeer are conditioned for their long trip around the world --and why shouldn't they be under Charlie's careful grooming? - So the outlook for Christmas, as | Charlie sees it, is just as it has been down through the years. And ri i TT | this is confirmed by a wireless re- | port from the R.C.M.P. schooner St. Roch, which is laid up for the winter in the Arctic ice a few hun- dred miles south of the North Pole. The Mounties on the St. Roch have been seeing strange things in the sk under the midnight sun, and they say that what they have sight- ad is Santa Claus putting his rein- deer through practice runs to get them in condition for Christmas Eve. : ~TOYOU! == ; tain, Ireland, the British Domin- | ions beyond the Seas and in All the Realms of the World, Emperor of ° ° | Good Will, Health and Healing, Author, Crusader, Defender of the us omers a IS : rls mas Faith of Human Kindliness and the Rights and Hopes of the Little Peo- | Z% ple and Grand Master of the Most Ld | Bxcellent Order of Christmas, to \ | our trusty and well beloved Citizens £ £ r I { eo S '} &) I | of Canada.
