FEBRUARY 21. 1963 MLDtOKD MAIL IKltJUNt, MtUtOHU, OHLUON Americans Plan To Homstead In North Canada By MARGARET MeELHENY Chicago (UPI) A gorup of Americans with the pioneer ing spirit of the early settlers will attempt to carve a com munity out of the British Columbian wilderness this spring. Their "wagon master" is Robert H. Van Schoick, 31, a native Chicagoan who said he has thought about homestead ing in wilderness country ever since he was a boy. The former florist is sifting through 300 applications to choose 50 settlers of a valley he locates somewhere m northern British Columbia but which he won't pinpoint because arrangements with Canada are not yet complet ed. The valley is part of 5,000 acres the Canadian govern ment has leased to the group for 21 years with provisions for a renewable lease. "We want the kind of peo ple who will help us build said Van Schoick. "The area will be an empire some day." Seven or eight feet of rich black soil covers the land and "cabbages grow bigger than basketballs," according to Van Schoick. Game is abund ant, he said. The temperature can get down to 50 degrees below zero but the average is zero to 14 above, he said. Van Schoick said his group is not composed of "some kind of religious nuts." "We just feel we can rea lize far more out of life up there," he said. "I get more disgusted every year with the materialistic life here." Van Schoick said he tells applicants life will be very difficult in the settlement. "We'll catch our own game, grow our own food, build our cabins out of logs from the forest, make many of our clothes, and It probably will be years before we have elec tricity." Van Schoick said the 35 people he has selected so far have a "high caliber" of var ied skills. They include a doc tor and carpenters and others with manual skills. Requirements Because of the physical work and stamina required to settle the wilderness, Van Schoick has set the age re quirements at 18 to 35 years. Can Schoick said the group Is composed of many religions and no one will be rejected because of color or creed. As .; for law, he said the settle ment will be under the Jurls- , diction of British Columbia. Some rules already have been established. One is that there will be no loquor. "We will have enough problems to conquer without that one," he said. Another is that hunting . will be only for food, not for sport. The group will bring basic equipment with them, includ ing tools, fishing tackle, sleeping equipment, gas-powered saws and a small tractor. Van Schoick gives his plans a 50-50 chance of success and frankly acknowledges the risk Involved. "But," he said, "man has always had the in stinct to face the challenge of adventure." fir i'xl.J f,U Jl'i, Is! 3f 1 o. uWllin t iHlfcBiMMlt HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mrs. Harriet Isaacs, 105, watches as a candle is lighted on her birthday cake at a rest home in Santa Rosa, Calif.
