were joined by a land bridge across
what is now the Bering Strait and
the Indians made their way into
America.

Some of the factors that the
anthropologist had found tempting
them to formulate such a theory
were: 1). the bone structure and
composition of remains found in
Mongolia and Asia seem to resemble
those discovered in North America.

2). We have similar physical traits,

yellowish or reddish brown skins,
eye coloring ranges from medium to
dark brown and are slanted to a
Slight degree. In short, the North
American Indian looks much like the
Asiatic of the Mongoloid race. This
I would like to observe for myself.

Last, but not least, is the role

that Japan intends to engage in on
the coast of B.C.

At Tolino, the Japanese are
interested in building an abalone
processing plant. They as well as
the Russians, have come within Can-
adian coastal fishing waters, the
expansion of Prince Rupert would
probably accommodate more Japanese
vessels and Japanese industries are
rumored to be in development stages
at Skagway and Anchorage, Alaska.
Foreign domination of Canadian
industries may very well run across
the Pacific Ocean rather than the
49th parallel.

In conclusion, I'd like to say
that life is short - the fuller and
broader we live it the better. I
would like to have that opportunity
in Japan.

Thank you.

YES, FRONTIER COLLEGE IS HERE!

Yes, Frontier College is in
Cassiar and at many more regions in
Canada. Canada is a regional coun-
try consisting of five major regions

- the Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario,
the Prairies, and British Columbia.
Frontier College operates in every-
one of these regions, and also has
Frontier workers in the Yukon and
the Northwest Territories.

Where do the labourer-teachers
work? They work alonyside the
workers in mining camps, logging
camps, railway gangs, fishing plants
and huge construction projects. The
primary aim of Frontier is adult
education. Specific courses in-
clude languages, English and French;
while broader courses deal with
various topics which may range from
birth control, drug information,
alcoholism, to high education corr-
espondent courses.

Frontier College grants no
degrees and charges no tuition. Its
teachers are volunteers who survive
financially by working alongside
the people they're teaching. They
do the same type of work during the
day as the people they're teaching
and at night when there's time and
when the workers want it, they
teach.

Frontier's first labourer-tea-
cher was a Methodist missionary
who went to lumber camps in the
Algoma region of northern Ontario
in 1899. At that time, seventy per
cent of the men could'nt even sign
their names. The Frontier teacher
wasn't able to get anywhere until
he picked up a saw and put in a
full day's work with them. The
same principal applies today. To
build a relationship with the
students, a Frontier teacher has to
be ready to put in a full day's
work alongside his students, whether
this work includes pushing a broom,
unloading trucks, or working below
the surface in a mine.
