North of 54! What visions these words conjure up—of intrepid explorers—HenryHudson. who discovered the great inland sea which today bears his name; JensMunck, the Dane, and his ill-fated expedition, the first to enter the present harbour;Kelsey, Cabot, Hearne and so many others.And the day of exploration is not over—each year, men are venturing farther intothis northern land. Along the 510-mile route from The Pas to Churchill, small townsand settlements are being opened up, men roam far and wide seeking the mineralwealth stored in the earth. There is still untold wealth in fur-bearing animals andthe area is rapidly becoming a sportsman's paradise. Vc'hat a contrast in the modeof travel! The early explorers ventured into an unknown and uncharted territoryin tiny ships, knowing nothing about what this vast land held for them. Today'sadventurers come in ships equipped with the latest navigational aids, by plane, orin comfortable trains.As our holiday train speeds northward, our thoughts must surely turn to thedauntless men and women through whose courage and bravery this northern empirewas opened. We cannot help but contrast the comfort and speed with which wenow make the trip with the gruelling overland trek of the Selkirk settlers who,after spending a winter in tents within the walls of Prince of Wales's Fort, set outon foot to establish homes near the present city of Winnipeg.This land which stirred the imagination of men of bygone days can still stir theimagination. History is STILL being written. Why not plan to see history-in-the-making for yourself?Canadian National Railways will operate TWO all-expense tours to this northernfrontier in August. Why not plan to be on board when the special leaves Winnipeg?
