"PERM" SCARED HER
GIRL FROM YUKON WILDS
A girl of 21 who had spent all her life in the Yukon wilds summed up the impressions of her first week of city life by declaring that she would be glad to return to the northland. Isabel Dickson went on a visit to Vancouver. She had- never seen a tramcar, used a telephone, ridden in a motor car, visited a beauty parlour, nor seen a building of more than two storeys. A visit to the beauty experts was the most trying experience. Isabel said: "I wasn't half as scared the day my horse threw me in front of two grizzly bears as when they put that permanent wave contraption on my head." Isabel, with her sister, tends a 100-mile trap-line around Kluane Lake, 200 miles north of Whitehorse, Yukon. She wrestles for relaxation.
