PU eCCe ~A '1 See by THE PAPERS DAWSON CITY, Yukon -- What would be unusual elsewhere -be- comes almost commonplace for a 4 ge" health nurse in the Yukon. Kathleen Dufton, a native of Radville, Sask., who recently com- pleted a tour of duty in this area, had to travel as much as 600 miles to care for some 3,000 people in her charge. When she visited Pelly River, the only town in the district with- out a doctor, the hotel owner cleared out the beer parlor and turned it over to her for~a clinic. During the spring breakup, when roads were impassable, she had to travel by helicopter to Klondike City to visit native families strick- én with influenza. Most of the time Miss Dufton travelled alone, advising the RCMP when she expected to ar- rive at her destination. If she was late, someone was ready to se out to meet her. - . Northern Health Services suppli- ed her with a car equipped with a sleeping bag, axe, tow chains, matches and emergency rations. "The coldest I have ever driven in was 52 below," she said. "I wouldn't start out in such a temp- erature. It so happens the cold spell set in while I was out so I kept moving." . Communities she covered includ- ed the mining towns and camps at Elsa Keno, Mayo Granville and riverside settlements such as Ste- wart Crossing and Pelly River. PORTLAND, Ore. -- Tom Crane, who was 102 recently, says he owes his long life to "whisky, smoking and fast women." : "J still take a drink and I will as long as I live," said the ex- logger, a native of Virginia who came west in 1880. "TJ had to give up chewing to- bacco when I lost my teeth, and I - quit smoking about six or seven years ago," he said. As for women: 'Well, I still look at them."'

Skip took 37.5 seconds to work his way through a five-stage glass- covered maze to a cage containing live mice. It was two seconds bet- ter than the previous record, set last year by Super Connie Kitty. Last week's winner in the event's playdowns at the Calgary Cat Show was Pretzel, a six-toed cat who ran the course in 38 seconds. WELLINGTON -- New Zealand parliamentarians are complaining about the price of butter --' they say it is too cheap. Butter is one of New Zealand's main products and sells at prob- ably the world's lowest price, cur- rently 27 cents a pound. But it is maintained with the help of a state subsidy which last year cost about $13,000,000. : Members of Parliament say it' is costing too much to keep butter cheap and are urging a reduction in the subsidy. VANCOUVER -- Arthur Zimmer- man is seeking a patent for a life- saving device he thought up while dug into snow in the Arctic wait- ing to be rescued after a plane crash. It is a balloon to be carried in a survival kit and inflated by a hel- ium gas cylinder. The balloon, with S O S painted on each side, rises to 2,000 feet on the end of a nylon fishing line. Painted bright orange, the eight- foot-long. sausage could be spotted from both. the air and ground searchers. When packed, the equipment fills a package one foot square. It in- cludes a long-life battery and light to illuminate the balloon at night. The balloon coating contains alum- inum dust so it can be picked up on a radar screen. Mr. Zimmerman, who says the kit could be sold for about $18, is thinking of further refinements in- cluding a water-soluble container in which the balloon would be stored. In the event of a sinking or crash over water, the balloon would be freed and inflated automatically to rise into the air and mark the spot. The device, which Mr. Zimmer- man calls '"'skymarker", has been sent to the patent office in Ottawa for registration. AUCKLAND, N.Z. -- Plans to build a television mast on Mount Eden, a 600-foot hill in the centre of: Auckland, met a novel obstacle when anthropologists declared the hill was '"'tapu" -- sacred, forbid- den ground. They said that following a mas- sacre there in 1690 a witch doctor placed a curse on the hill and it had never been lifted. To prove their point they said three attempts to plant trees on the hill had fail- ed. - on The local council was not im- pressed. It said the tapu must be losing its power because trees planted four and five years ago were doing nicely. BT POINT PELEE -- Thousands of migratory monarch butterflies are clustering at the tip of this point for their perilous flight across Lake Erie and on to Florida. If a favorable wind springs up the. butterflies leave to hedgehop across the lake via islands spaced some five miles apart. The monarchs have been an at- ™~ ~ Haileybury, Ont. ' P. O.

MESTRE, Italy -- Pietro Vizz- otto, 67, is waiting patiently to start living again. He read of his death in a news- paper several days ago after a body, found in a ditch near Mestre, was identified as that of Vizzotto. Vizzotto, who had not lived in Mestre for many years, returned after reading the report. He learn- ed that his death had been register- ed. Bi Until a magistrate ordered a cor- rection, Vizzotto legally is not alive. HONG KONG -- If you curl up to sleép on a sidewalk or a park bench in North America or Europe, a policeman probably will shake you awake. _ But in this refugee-packed, semi- tropical British colony, thousands of people sleepin the open, each night, in alleyways, on sidewalks and on rooftops. They sleep in peace, with no fear of policeman. An organization headed by sev- eral prominent citizens of Hong Kong provides protection for the street. sleepers. The organization is called the "Street Sleepers Shel- ter Society." When the weather turns cool, the street sleepers turn to the society. It tries to give them a roof over their heads, a warm shower, and a glass of hot tea and a blanket. The society provides shelter for an avarage of 50,000 destitute per- sons each year, a spokesman said. The organization does not appeal for public funds and most of its support comes from the. Jockey Club and the Church World Service. The group now has three apart- ment buildings for sleepers. An- other wil be ready next month. The society is primarily con- cerned with. destitutes born and raised in the Hong Kong area, though it does aid some refugees coming into the colony from Com- munist China.
