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."

Relive with author Stanley Lowell the tense hours

prospect of surrender or complete destruction

The outcome of that decision is history, but from
