MUSK-0X FORCE THRILLS POST

45 Tired, Cheerful Men Berthed on Floor. |

By DAVID M. NICHOL Times Foreign Correspondent FT. NORMAN, Northwest Terri-| tories, Canada, April 15—A tired| but confident and cheerful handful] of men -— the -Canadian army’s| Musk-ox force which has been bat-| tling the Arctic for two months and | 2000 miles—are resting in this Mac- | Kenzie river trading post. They have arrived at Fort Nor-! an in their 10 snowmobiles. They! supplied the tiny settlement its| most exciting moment since the government hospital, the only one in the entire northwest territories, burned to the ground late in Feb-| ruary. 1 saw them first from a 'skiequipped Norseman as we circled above them about 20 miles east of here in the late afternoon. They ad halted while scouts went ahead to locate a tractor trail. ? { Aid From the Air Although everything was visible | plainly to us, the heavy under-| rowth obscured the view from the round.” By radio and visually we helped the men find their paths, hen came on here to land on the| ice of a ftree-ringed lake a mile way Para, y

Ft. Norman had been well warned and more than a little intrigued ‘ith a message asking for aecomnodation for the 45 men of. the orce. Ultimately they were berthed m the floors of the Hudson - Bay post, the mounties’ quarters and he Oblate mission, where 1 am staying. | Most of the settlement’s 26 whites, and a liberal representation from he Indians who make up the rest f the 350 people here, were on rand.

Six White Women In Town

Among the most interested were wo nurses, who continue to operhte a dispensary in an army quon- | et hut and wait for a decision | hether the hospital will be rebuilt. | here are only four other white omen in the town. | The husky dogs, which are tethfred around every house, added a | weird chorus with their mournful volflike howls, For most of the moving force the eather was mild as spring. How- | ever, spring is only a time of the ear, not a condition, as there still s deep snow in woods and zero emperatures are almost a daily eeurrence. Fort Norman itself is a wild. and peautiful spot. The MacKenzie ‘iver is three miles wide, Just to! he north of here it sweeps around. ! Che soaring headland of Bear Rock hat rises like a miniature Gibralar some 1500 feet.

Caribou Roast Good

Away to the north and west are he snow-capped peaks of the Macenzie mountains, which reach an hititude of 8000 feet. The Bear iver itself has cut a sizable gorge nd flows so swiftly that some secions of it never freeze, The country itself is laced with he trails of- caribou which were ere in abundance this year. 1 ried some of a caribou roast for inner last night and found it elicious.
