' By CECIL A. MOORE
Morely River, Y. T., Jan. 8 (Delayed) (U.R) This is the last
place on earth I ever expected to find myself in the role of
midwife.
The blessed event occured six days ago. I was halfway down
Tjk Teilin lust north of the British Columbia border when, in
. a matter of a few hours, the
temperature dropped from 25
below to 87 below.
I noticed one of the dogs was
acting strangely, so I stopped.
pitched tent and made camp.
After getting the dogs bedded
down on some boughs In the
snow, I warmed food and fed
them.
I crawled Into my eider down
sleeping bag but slept fitfully
because of the cold. A dog's
whining finally got me out of
my sack and I investigated with
a flashlight.

Xavier Cugafs Wife
Files Divorce Suit
Hollywood, Jan. IS (U.R) The
actress wife of orchestra leader
Xavier Cugat, the rumba king,
today filed ault for divorce
charging extreme cruelty.
Mrs. Lorraine Allen Cugat,
ought community property val-
ved at $400,000,, $2,000 month
ly alimony, and attorney and
court fees.
The couple married in Phila
delphia in October, 1947, and
separated last Oct. 20.
There by the dog that had
acted oddly and refused to eat
were two husky pups. They
were frozen stiff.
I looked at the thermometer
on the sled. It registered 63
degrees below zero! It was
deathly still and the northern
lights were coldly beautiful as
they flashed across the sky.
I felt kind of scared when I
began thinking how far I was
from civilization but I snapped
out of it when I looked down at
the frozen, new-born puppies
and their sad-eyed mother.
I took a blanket and moved
the dog nearer the fire. With
sticks and another blanket
made a shelter. The dog stop
ped shivering after a while and
I realized she was going to have
some more puppies.
Playing midwife, I delivered
three more pups, bundled them
up in the only spare woolen un
derwear I had and placed them
near their mother.
Then I cooked a big stew
from the two frozen rabbits and
a spruce hen I had on the sled.
While waiting for It to get cool
enough to feed the mother, I ate
a goodly portion of It and drank
a pot of tea. Even though I had
eaten and had kept the fire blaz
ing high, I still could feel the
cold eating into my bones.
After feeding the dog I put
her pups to nurse and covered
them all with some blankets.
Later, at Nlsutlin Bay, a trad
ing post on Lake Teslin, I got a
wool-lined box.
Mother and pups arc doing
fine.
Except for frostbidden cars, I
feel fine. I have only one suit
of underwear left because the
other suit was ruined during the
blessed event. Although I'll be
pretty crummy when I pull Into
Watson Lake, I don't know
whether I'll want to bathe or
not. It's 88 degrees below now
and recently went down to 75
there.

through the wringer and onto the line. And, believe me, they looked
so bright and clean I was proud to hang them up!"
"I took my wash out of the'
Tide suds wrung it out

Just think of all
the time I'm going to save . . . with

and tear it saves on my clothes as
well as on me! Thank you. Tide, for
the biggest washday miracle of all!"
