They are fidgety; tkiyk want lomething to happen quickly' to re lieve them nf r..i UI.1H i- the ilmple quietude which they ennnot bear. They are ever af flicting themnelvea with sound. They keep covering the fore ground of their live with a network of Incident and cir cumstances, thu obscuring ' the greatest remedy In all the world agalnat the world, and that 1 simple quiet." A good bit of thinking, don't you agree? And who an id it and ' when? Why those sound thoughts were voiced by one Paracelsus, one of the fathers of medicine, more than 400 year ago. So, you see neither people nor their bade need have changed much In the -last four centurio. Nor the remedy for a great many of their illsthe healing medicine of quiet the trange, deep, ageless calm of Nature.

Normally about 30 minute l rvqulrel for cooperative Can adian custom offlcluls to ac cept a bond on the cargo, a figure equal to the amount of duly which would be amessed If the cargo were bound for Can adian point. The convoy, composed of six 21-ton trucks owned by Lathrop aiid Harry Hoyt, Anchorage bus inessman, made Edmonton on the third duy and then (topped next at Dawson Creek, terminus of the Alberta Northern railroad. Krom thut point on It averaged about 300 mile per day. The truckers found gasoline available about every 100 miles at little way station which sprang up about a year ago and have multiplied since. Lodging, when It can be found, costs from $1 to $2 50 per duy, but Jourdln drove 28 hours before he could find a vacancy sign. Food Is good, but no meat is available on Tuesdays and Frlduys. "There's a tremendous amount of scenery," said Kogge, "but after driving a few days you get tired of scenery. The speed lim it, fixed by the control author ity, Is 35 miles an hour but you must slow down to five miles an hour across bridges, there are a good many hills, many of which start Just at the opposite side of a bridge." Neither Jourdln nor Rogge believe trucking will lake Die place of ships in moving heavy goods to Alaska. The cost Is pro hibitive, except under unusual circumstances such as at present when goods must be had at any cost. "It will be a great thing for tourists, though, said Jourdln. There is more scenery than you ever saw before." And for the tourist or truck- who gets into serious me chanical tiouble you can always ask for help, or directions, from the Huyal Northwest Mounted police. "Only along the highway It's the some with the motility as it is with police in the United State s, concluded Jourdln. "When you don't want them they're everywhere. When you do, you can t find them.
