DELIVER OIL TANKERS f»:ven oil tankers, each 350 feet long, built in Duluth, Minn., and Superior, Wis., have been delivered by their builders at New Orleans over a 2,247-mile inland American water route. They are intended for; South American trade. The tankers | descended, in all, about 600 feet on their long inland waterways trip; about two-thirds of the descent being over the' Mississippi river from the terminus;, ,«f the Illinois?"waterways. Their ro,«te involved fine lockage through the Soo canal and nine in the Illinois-'.waterways. The first of the fleet to arrive at New Orleans, the San Joaquin, made the trip in 20 da vs. ____ Ships Keep Moving In Spite of Fog Three Arrivals at Local Harbour During Night The heavy fog which shrouded the distjip and hung like a blanket over tjfc waters of Lake Ontario and Hamilton harbour last night did noMfgvent the arrival of two coal-la<s|i freighters and the Canada Steamship Lines package freight carrier, the City ot Windsor. All three craft, forced to proceed slowly by the thick fog, pulled into different slips on the water front without mishap. The ss. Champion, owned by the Hamilton Harbour Commission, operating between the foot of James street and La Salle Park, cancelled its late trips. Few, if any people, suffered inconvenience as the patronage at La Salle Park after dark yesterday was light. .Emergency Repairs Made to Bay Ferry The breaking of a link in the; steering cable of the ss rihnm. pion, of the Hamilton hUBBuV Commission, occurred on Saturday afternoon. Repairs were completed speedily and the ship, with; only a small passenger list aboard, finished its afternoon schedule. The Champion made her final run of the short season yesterday. Alterations are to be made preparatory to resumption of operations in the spring of 1945. The trouble occurred when the ss. Champion was just a short' distance from the James street: dock. Its whistle summoned the' two harbour patrol boats and the! cruiser Sea Hawk. They held the' ship into the wind until repairs were roade, ' HAMILTON Sept. 25— Arrived: Joan Virginia, Port Credit, 11.05 p.m., fuel oil; Lethbridge, Toronto, 11.15, light.

Northwest Air Command and bodies of some of the 11 persons believed to have perished aboard also have been sighted on the ice near Port Dalhousie. The plane was unable to land. NASH ENDS "RO0JINE" TRIP TO FAR NORTH a Montreal, Oct. 2. — (CP) — The f, Icebreaker Nascopie has completed e another of her "routine" trips to h supply all the little outposts of the t Hudson's Bay Company and the t Royal Canadian Mounted Police f 400 miles above the Arctic circle, c "Routine" was the way Capt. T. a F. Smellie, O.B.E., of Winnipeg, described it after a dozen similar 1 jaunts. Major D. L. McKeand, of 1 Ottawa, superintendent of Arctic 1 control for the Dominion Govern-1 ment, thought it "a very nice trip." E It was his 14th. i The "routine" trip took the Nas-1 copie 12,000 mites through the northern ice walks. It took her f 400 miles aboveyij ^Arctic circle, and—at one point—60 miles north 1 of the Magnetic north pole. Com-J passes do crazy things up there s where north isn't north any more, ! but the Nascopie is used to it all 1 because she's been doing it for 32 i years. She's not a large ship — 2,500 ] gross tons—and she's not pretty, certainly not these days in her dirty i grey camouflage. But once a year, she's just about the most im- ¦ portant thing in the world for 6,500 residents of the Canadian north as she pushes her sheared bow through the ice-floes to bring supplies, mail and a visible contact with the out- ' side world to residents of isolated outposts. World's Best Teeth Montreal, Oct. 2.—(CP)—Take-it from Dr. L. B. Amyot, of Schenectady, N.Y., the Eskimos have the best teeth in the world—except when they run into too much civilization—and when they have oral trouble, they are the world's best • patients. Returning to Montreal after three i months as dental officer aboard : the Hudson's Bay ship Nascopie, Dr. Amyot brought back teeth he had . pulled on the trip to show that J the Eskimo who sticks to his own j diet of fish, seal and bear-meat } rarely has trouble with his teeth— ; but the Eskimo who goes in for : the more civilized food of the white J man usually runs into grief. Some of the teeth were perfectly sound, although worn right down : by tough eating—those were the ; teeth of Eskimos who lived remote i from the white man's influence. They had been pulled because of] ] gum and other troubles. Other, ; molars showed gaping cavities—the: teeth of Eskimos who ate a lot of, white man's fare, according to Dr.! ! Amyot. Dr. Amyot said that when the1 Eskimos had tooth trouble, they-never made any fuss about having, them pulled, or drilled. They would' sit perfectly still and let him work.' on their molars without interruption and without grimaces. --------- America's First Canal Dedham, Mass.—(UP)—The first canal built in America is believed to be Mother Brook, in Dedham, constructed before 1640, to carry the waters of the Charles and Ne-ponset rivers into the town.
