The name al- ready conjures in the mind of the public scenes reminiscent of the prreat gold rushes to California and the jClondyke. Gold rush it may be styled, but in what different manner in tlws da and age of modern inventions', high-speed transportation and scientific exploration methods. Visualize what was only a few short .years ago a barren wasteland, inhabited mainly by Indians and Eskftnos. Far from civilization, the distinct was merely regarded as a part! of that trackless wilderness whicjh was believed to make up Canada's North Country. What a transformation today, hou4ver.The little town of Yellow-knife, from a population of a few huwjredsouls vi 1912, has metamor-phized lfeelf into a thriving community of some three thousand am-bitiojus, 'b)timistic Canadians who feel that in their town has been laid the foundation for the gold metropolis of the country. Far and wide across this erstwhile barren wasteland) the song of the diamond drill ringip out in ever-increasing crescendo, probing, ever probing into the bosom of Mother Earth in the search for gold. Admittedly, Northwest Territories has no place for the weakling. With winter temperatures dipping into; the sixties below zero for weeks on end, the breed of men who are busily wresting the hoard of wealth from the. depths- of the earth have been' faced with hardship and priva-tion' Food was, at times, scarce, and minhig equipment and supplies conspicuous by their absence. TjFndaunted, however, the search for gold, proceeded.

Planes land and take off in a never-ending stream, "cat" trains bring welcome supplies via the overland route, maintaining their schedules throughout the long and arduous winter. What a change from. '98! UNIQUE ENTERTAINER UNIQUE among entertainers is Bill ("Bojangles") Robinson. After GO years before the public he can have a Broadway engagement, it can truly be said, whenever he chooses. His smile has captivated millions ever since the days in Washington when he displayed his self-taught steps on the capital's sidewalks to appreciative onlookers. The pennies they tossed the boy of eight helped him to support himself, and so adept did he become that he decided those nimble feet could pay his keep, and perhaps more. And so it proved, for he went on to an ever-widening, public in vaudeville, night clubs and travelling shows that were open to Negro performers. Then came the prestige of appearances as a "single" entertainer and recognition as one of the world's greatest tap dancers. He taught Shirley Temple the cute steps she did with him in films as a child, coached Fred Stone and his daughter, Dorothy, in the brilliant star dance (Bill's invention) theydid in one of their most successful musical comedies. Many others went to him for instruction between his studio and stage engagements. Today he still does his stair dance, with its ingenious orchestration of stepping, nimble variations and piquant hesitations, that enthusiastic admirers have compared to the form of a Bach fugue visualized. Bill doesn't smoke or drink. His favorite nourishment is ice cream two or three quarts a day. His many benefactions include a series of four street-traffic lights in his home town, Richmond, Virginia, which; he has been officially informed, have been the means of insuring the-safety of thousands of youngsters. That, he will tell you, is one of the reasons he smiles when he dances.
