Moving of Two Communities To Start Soon in Arctic Area
Washington-What is believed to be the biggest moving job in Arctic history will begin soon when two entire communities are shifted to new sites.
Aklavik, largest Canadian settlement north of the Arctic Circle, and Coppermine are the two villages scheduled for relocation. River erosion and the danger of sinking through melting permafrost are forcing their abandonment.
Already many of Aklavik's buildings have crumbled before the waters of the Mackenzie river in the delta region south of the Beaufort sea. Coppermine, 300 miles to the east at the mouth of the Coppermine river, has suffered similar damage.
Recent tests revealed that the ground beneath these settlements contains more than 50 per cent water in the form of ice crystals. The unstable earth has prevented installation of adequate underground water and sewer systems. Residents fear epidemics might result from the unsanitary conditions.
Ahlakvi is the center for fur trading, administration, and missionary activities in a 50,000-square-mile area of the Mackenzie Delta. It has 400 permanent residents and twice that many in July and August. Coppermine has some 200 inhabitants.
About two-thirds of Aklavik's 150 buildings will be hauled by tractor along the frozen Mackenzie river to the new, as yet undetermined, site. A small hotel, post office, radio and meteorological station, two missions, a community hall, and several trading posts are the village's main structures. The actual transfer may not begin until the winter of 1955-56. Building of roads and installation of water and sewage lines will precede the move.
New Akavlak will have a much-needed airfield. The community is

now virtually cut off from the outside world during winter. In the summer diesel tugs make two roundtries between Aklavik and Waterways, Alberta. Wood-fueled paddleboats formerly served the scattered outposts along the 1,700-mile water course.
Both Aklavik and Coppermine are in the Mackenzie district of the vast Northwest Territories, which embrace nearly one-third of North America. The territories are administered directly by the Canadian federal government. Population in 1951 was only 16,094, including 6,837 Eskimos and 3,803 Indians.
Judges Study Boxing as Play
Washington — (U.P.) The Department of Justice considered today whether to appeal a federal judge's dismissal of an anti-trust suit against the International Boxing Club.
The Justice Department issued no formal statement but it was learned that the verdict was "being taken under study" and the decision whether to appeal probably would be made soon.
Federal Judge Gregory F. Noonan dismissed the government antitrust suit in New York yesterday on the grounds that the recent Supreme Court baseball decision placed all professional sports outside the Sherman Anti-Trust laws. The court ruled by a 7-2 majority on November 9 that organized baseball should not be considered a business subject to the anti-trust laws.
Whitney North Seymour and Charles Watson, attorneys for the boxing club, argued that boxing was built along the framework as organized baseball and should be guided by the same principles.
Johnny Rauch, former star quarterback at Georgia, signed a contract as an assistant football coach at Tulane.
