The Royal Canadian Na\7 has acquired three RTL 4 Bell helicopters for northern work. These helicopters, the first to be employed by the R.C.N., will be based at the naval air station, Roll.C.S. Shearwater, at Dartmouth, NoSc until the R.C.N. ts new icebreaker is completed (see Arctic Circular, Vol. 2 (1949) pp. 10-11). The helicopters-ar~ intended for use aboard this vessel and will also be employed in the training of helicopter pilots and maintenance crewso They will be fitted with ski-type landing gear adaptable to any terrain until they are e:n.barlŒdin the icebrealœr, when they will be equipped with floats to enable them to land on water or on land. The First Ale,skan SeiC~l(;eCc,::,f'er:'!F'3 vras helcl in l Washington frO:l 9 to 11 l!OV2w~-~'cr1950, T:~e éonference was so successful that it "vas :'0 ·'jor:'uencled the.t 8.:1othershould be held the following year, and if possib:e t~at it should take place in Alaska 0 The Second Alaske,n SC:~8nce Confer.ence was held in :Mount N:cKinley Natio;:lalPark fram 4 to 8 Septèmber 1951. Owing to the support of the Aretie Circle and of the Arctic Institute of North l\!1'.erieJ. it was possible for the Editor ta attend this conference. Over two hundred scientists were present, the majarity of whom had been carrying out field work in Alaska during the summer season. ln order to allow as many speakers as possible most of the papers read were brief and were mainly accounts of recent research rather than of worked up resultso A full day~s field trip to see Mount McKinley provided a splenclid opportunity to observe the wildlife and flora of the park. The Conference was an exceptionally good meeting place as all members were housed in one hotel~ the Mount McKinley Park Rotel of the Department of the Interior; or in railway cars attached to the hotel. The Editor feels that the experience was most valuable to her and wishes to record her grateful thanks to the Arctic Circle~ Reorganization of Rudsonfs Bay Company posts ln 1951 the Hudson's Bay Company formed a new Central Arctic Section.
