By FRANKLIN PRICE

LIBBY DAM SHELVED

The United States has pigeon-
holed for the time being plans to
build the huge Libby Dam on the
Kootenay River in Montana, In
withdrawing their upplication be-
fore the International Joint Com-
mission, the U.S. said new Prope.

BUSIEST IN CANADA

‘The Vancouver airport has now
attained the position of being the
busiest in Canada.

Last year. there were 202,311
landings and take-offs,

In scheduled airline flying, the
airport climbed to within touch-

later date,

The $242,000,000 dam, which
would be ‘second only to the
Grand Coulee in size, might be
further downstream, U.S, officials
said.

The subject of damming the
Kootenay has.been before the
Commission for some time, with
British C ding com-

8) ing of the impressive to-
tals reached by Montreal and Tor-
onto. During the ‘year there were
28,800 airliner:landings and take-

offs in Vancouver, compared with
30,300 at Montreal and 30,000 at
Toronto.

MORE AID TO GOLD MINERS
inal gold mining oper-

pensation, in the form of electric
power, for the 42 miles of land
which would have been flooded.

“DOUBLING LAJOIE

Work to boost the LaJoie
hydro-electric storage dam on
Bridge River into one of the larg-
est man-made structure in Cana-
da is expected to begin this
‘month, -

The $8,000,000 project will dou-
ble the bulk and triple the length

* of the dam to impound sufficient
water to develop 310,060 horse-
power. The present maximum is
186,000 h.p.

The job is expected to take 30
months, and will employ. several
hundred men for the full period.
B.C. FAVOURS, B.C. GAS

West Coast Transmission has
won the backing of 70 per cent of
the gas companies in B.C., Wash-
ington and Oregon in its export
fight before the Federal Power
Commission in Washington, D.C.

The gas companies told the

. Commission that they and their
customers would be in a stronger
position by being serviced by
‘West Coast than by, Pacific North-
west Pipeline Co, which seeks to
bring the gas in from the San
Juan area of New Mexico.

ations in B.C. will receive increas-
ed government assistance this
year. Under a new plan intro-
duced in the Commons by Fin-
ance Minister Douglas Abbot the
maximum financial aid will be
$13.50 an ounce, an increase from
$11.50.

Under the formula the eligible
mines had the alternative of sell-
ing their gold on the free market
or taking the fixed price of $35
(U.S.) an ounce and the govern-
ment assistance.

Mr, Abbot said the free market
had developed just‘as he had ex-
pected. The minute any substant-
jal amounts of gold were offered
on the free market a drop in
price resulted. -

The Meadowlark |

I heard a meadow-lark today-

His notes so sweet and strong

Recalled an old, old story of

His mellow, golden song.

Long years ago, a lust for gold

Possessed a certain king,

A wish fulfilled, his golden touch

Became an evil thing,

His greedy soul could never see

The beauty of a flower, -

Till: turned to golden wealth it
shone-

‘A symbol of his power,

And y you must know that by his

His little daughter, fair,

Was changed from living warmth
to gold,

His triumph to despair,

To rid him of this hateful gift”

He rose at early dawn,

Bathed in the river clear and cold

The “Golden Touch” was gone!

He carried water from the stream

To sprinkle on'the maid,

The smile returned upon her face
