Radio in the Arctic
An Indispensable Messenger LISTENERS in Canada often pick up messages from the Canadian National Railways broadcasting stations in which instructions are given to the railroad engineers and the outlying Hudson Bay trade posts. Quite recently the Canadian Government broadcast instructions to the post at Cape Dorset, Baffin Island, regarding food supplies. The delivery of such a message before the days of wireless would have meant many weeks of travel by sled and canoe. The railroad engineers in’the more | lonely parts of the system invariably carry small receiving sets, and tune-in for instructions from headquarters at regular intervals.
