Samson Francois, Pianist, To be in Trail on Saturday

Francols’ sensational New York debut on Nov, 3, 1947, when he played the Prokofleff Concer. to No.5 with the New York Phil. armonic under the baton of Leo- nard Bernstein, is still remem- ‘bered with excited clation, and the Frenchman's subsequent Am. erican tours“ further solidified that first, conclusive impression.

In the past five years during which. America has been deprived of M. Francois' pfanism, he has toured Russian, the Far and Near East, South America and, of course, all of Western ‘Europe, In his wake of triumphant appear. ances music critics Invariably had to reach for such adjectives as “prodigious,” “sensational,”

“magnificent,” and “fantastic.”

One of the most unconven- tional of ‘present-day virtuosl, Samson Francois‘ was born in Frankfurt-am-Main of French ‘parents on May 18, 1924, He be- gan to play the piano at five and almost immediately started ,. to compose. Throughout, his early childhood his parents traveled ex. tensively, and when the Francois family happened to be iri Italy, the six-year-old Samson playeil for Pietro Mascagni.

Waste Chips

The importance of Celgar’s Castlegar pulp mill to the lum- bering industry of the Kootenays ean be judged from remarks made dat Kamloops by Lands and Forests Minister Ray Wiliston.

Mr, Williston told his audi. ence that five Kamloops lumber mills have formed a new firm to handle’ waste wood turned into

coast.” - He described it as “big news” for the Kamloops area,

He said the five mills are installing machinery to turn the waste into chips, and first deliv- eries may be expected next spring. The yleld will be 100,000 units (each of 200 cubic feet) a year, and worth $500,000,

He said others would be free to turn their waste ino chips and market the poduct through the new firm, Kanfloops Wood Con- version Limited. Ken Long, of Fadear Creek Lumber Compan- ies, is president,

Mr. Williston said the deci- sion by the five firms is behind the experiments to transport chips by plastic ball down the Fraser. But, he said, negotiations are still under way with the rail. way companies to get a favorable rate,

“(In Vicorla, it was_learned that one of the problems facing the railways is that they would have to buy 1,500 new gondola. type cars to carry the chips, and the plastic ball experiments may be discouraging the investment.)

(For a story on ‘plastic ball experiments, see elsewhere in this’ paper.)

Mr. Williston did not name the coasal buyer of the chips.

‘This is a huge break. through for the Kamloops forest industries,” Mr, Williston.

He said it is estimated that 30 per cent of each tree cut is left on the ground and never rea- ches ‘a mill. Of the part run through the mill, 29 per cent be- comes waste,

It is natural, he said, that with a wood chip shortage on the coast, the interior mills would try to turn this waste into cash,
