'Fifty Below Zero'
(Franklyn Kelsey)

The Scene is a Homesteader's Shack in the woods of Alberta. The snow has drifted high about it and a blizzard is raging. Inside the shack it is warm and snug, very much to the satisfaction of Mr. Benson (better known as 'Dad'), Jim and Spike, gathered round a large wood stove whose red-hot sides send Out a welcome warmth. It is evening and the oil lamps have just been lighted.
