Depa::trnent of National Defence has an active prrcgran to develop GPS receivers in Canada, and has various other related programs undem:ay, including one to study possible effects of tlre Aurcra on GPS accuracy in ttre Canadian Arctic. It is going to be fascinatirg to watch these nan developrents progress ard be put to u-se; ard undoubtedly g::eat benefits will accrue, eittrer directly or indirectly to those who live in, or travel to or orrer tle Arctic.

SOI,IE TTNUGI{IS - AETB. TI{IRTY ]TEARS Andrs,,i Croft TLre Arctic Circle as for-rrded in Ottawa thirty years ago by a grolp of friends, in order to a::ouse interest in the Canadian lrlorth, to errphasize its inportance, to arrange lectures and neetings and to publish a cj-rcular. trts objectives harze proved outstandingly successful and, back in England, I still enjoy ttre Circular as much as ever and wish to congratulate the organizers, ffiibutors, and editors who, over the years, have given us so mrrch objective and fascinating infornration.

Initially frostbite car:.sed about ore th-ird of tlre casr-ralties afllonq tLre Anerican personnel, largely dr:e to ttre iradequaqg of the Boucheron boot for that particr:lar clirnate, but the footwear prodrrced for ttre second winter reduced this acute prcblem to rninirnal proportions.
