one of the features in the food building at the 1956 cunndinn national exhibition august 24 to september 8 but the actual cooking by two at tractive eskimo maidens in summer parkas will not be done by

arctic food for adventurous visitors to taste the display by the department of northern affairs and national resources will also have sample recipes for preparing eskimo food but the problem of
