Ottawa, June 9.

A recent series of forced landings in the far north. in which those involved escaped unscathed has called attention to the improved techniques for survival at sub-zero temperatures which have been developed by the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Towards the end of April, the Air Force's "Survival School" at Cambridge Bay, Victoria Island, far inside the Arctic circle, is usually closed for the summer. But if the weather continues to be "favourable," i.e. cold, courses may be con- tinued into May.
