From the Barren Lands of North Canada Johnny Hillaby introduces Men of the North

There are no roads in the Canadian bush and neighbours living perhaps a hundred miles apart speak to each other over the short-wave radio. Life is lonely but it has its fun, as John Hillaby shows in this sound record of the miners, lumberjacks, and fishermen who live amid the pine trees and the caribou. Listeners will hear the deep bark of the hunting wolf and the tales of the men who hunt them. Hillaby also speaks to the Smoke Jumpers, the men who are parachuted down with fire-fighting equipment when the bush burns
