Public 7aIae
pay for pool

By Paul

OTTAWA Ee — Tax-
payers, not just anonymous
donors,‘ helped pay for the
construction of Prime Min-
ister Pierre Trudeau's swim-
ming pool in 1975,
government documents ob-
tained Tuesday.
* But it is doubtful if many
taxpayers will ever get a
chance to join Trudeau and
his three sons for a splash in
his six-by-seven-metre back-
yard watering hole, estimated
to have cost a total of $200,-
000.

Project 77815 Confidential
—— as the pool is code-named
in government documents ob-
tained under the Access to
Information Act — cost the
government $25,677.30.

That amount was spent in
fees to two firms mainly con-
cerned with the design and

the best-kept secrets in the
country — Dr: W. H. Fader
of Toronto headed the group
of donors, but has. not re-
leased their names.
Bourque wrote in a letter to
a Cansdian Press reporter
that no government institu-
tion had the names and even
if the government knew who

the donors were, the public

would not find out.

Nickel featured in
new stamp issued

A commemorative stamp marking the hundredth
anniversary of the discovery of nickel in Sudbury,
Ontario, will be unveiled on
ceremony as part of the city’s nickel

Friday ‘at an open-air
discover

In announcing the new 82-cent stamp issue, Andre
Ouellet, Minister responsible for Canada Post Cor-
Poration, noted that Sudbury owed its aetna to the
explosion of the nickel markets in the 1880's and had ised
reason, to its. past
world-renowned mining district. “But it also looks ahead
to the next century with renewed optimism and
tenacity,” he said.

The stamp, designed for Canada Post Corporation by
Toronto graphic designer John Capon, features the word
“nickel” foil-stamped in silver on a background of
horizontal bars of colour symbolic of rock strata. An
urban skyline adds to the effect of a city built atop under-
ground ore deposits.

Prior to the July 27 rally,
the Labor Relations Board
ruled that such a cay
stoppage did not constiute a
strike under the contract, but
did not address the question

with the arrival of late in the
century. In 1888 Thomas Flanagan, a Canadian Pacific
Railway blacksmith, gathered ore samples that turned
out to be valuable copper sulphites. Tests revealed that
Flanagan had not only discovered copper but also
stumbled onto the world’s biggest nickel deposit. Mining
operations began in 1886.

In 1889, just when a method of refining nickel had been
perfected, the market for nickel increased drama cally,
assuring the profitability of the mines in the region. In
that economic climate, Sudbury’s expansion and pros-
perity for Ontario and Canada were guaranteed.
