Big Gas Find CALGARY (CP)—Wiiat may be one of the largest individual gaS-producing areas ever to be developed in Canada has been indicated northeast of Calgary by independent geologists and re-ervoir engineers. Harold W. Manley, vice-president of Jefferson Lake Sulphur Company of Tulsa, Okla., announced completion of a well in the area. Jefferson Lake holds an 80,0p6-acre farm out from Mobil Oil Company north of the city. Mr. Manley said the new well has an open flow potential of 50,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas a day from a depth of between S,G0G feet and 8,717 feet. ndoor Plumbing, Good Food Enjoyed By Highway Builders By JIM PEACOCK Canadian Press Staff Writer GLACIER, B. C. (CP) — Camp life on the trans- Canada highway construction through the Selkirk mountains works few physical hardships on the men doing the job. The food is good, so is the pay The plumbing is indoors and living quarters are warm and comfortable. The workmen, for the most part, are friendly. They laugh at tales of hardship.

LITTLE RECREATION Social life is limited, however, and there is practically no recreation in this isolated region of Glacier National Park, where the irans-Canada highway is being pushed over Rogers Pass to link Golden and Revelstoke. The area, 200-odd miles west of Calgary, is reached only by' train and all Supplies must be shipped in. Stores and hotels do not exist in the area. Radio reception is poor on the infrequent occasion a station can be tuned in and few newspapers reach the camps. "You get used to this life," says Peter Schearer of Bern, Switzerland, who has lived most of his six months in Canada at a construction camp a quarter mile from this railway station. "It takes two or three weeks in camp, but after that you don't miss the outside so much and you don't mind It herer- The camp where Mr. Schearer slays is run by the federal public works department, which is re sponsible for trans-Canada highway work in national parks. It is the headquarters camp of four in Glacier Park where 200 men have spent the summer clearing the right-of-way for 28 miles of highway, and it noused about 40 men at its busiest time. COMFORTABLY HOUSED The camps generally are made up of prefabricated cabins, used to house and feed the men. Each has cots for about a dozen men. Portable power plants supply electricity. • At the main camp, several permanent buildings are used the year around. An old schoolhouse where the children of railway Workers attended classes 40 years ago is the camp dining room. The living room of a one-storey frame house once occupied by section worker or the railway now serves as an office for highway engineers and geologists. The rest of the house is used as .sleeping quarters. From this house Mr. Schearer carries out his work. He is an expert on avalanche problems, which plague this area in winter when an average of 35 feet of snow falls annually. A civic engineei with mgnway construction experience, he .was hired by the National Research Council to assist in this particular job. He was In Canada only two weeks when he came here in April. This winter he will' remain with about 10 others to ski through the region, furtherin the snow studies. that negan four years ago. He is 31 and single and with a handful of others here is among a special breed of men who stick with his type of work.

He has been tramping about the Rodgers Pass seeking special gravel deposits for highway work, often spending free days climbing other terrain to study nature's wonders. The men work 10 hours a day or more, rising at G a.m. Pay ranges from $1.50 an hour Tor laborers to §2.50 and up for machine operators. They pay be-1ween S3 and $4.50 a day for meals and lodging at the camps. Each man has two days free every two weeks. Most catch a train to Revelstoke, Golden or Banff for a blow-out, a haircut, a movie and whatever other entertainment is available. Some stay three or four days before returning; some never go back to the job. "They come in here with a towel, a razor and a change of sock," said Mr. Reid, "and when they've made a few bucks and get fed up, they just leave, and send back to have their back pay forwarded." "This is a tough life," says T>an Hamilton of Blaine, Wash., a 30-year-old foreman with Man-nix Construction Limited, "and the men have to be tough to take it. We overlook a lot of things or we'd be firing men every day, but we can't afford to let them run wild or we'd never get the .ion done." Next spring between 500 and 1,000 men will invade the area with massive machines to carve the mountain sides and valleys into a 48-foot-wide highway, scheduled for completion by 19G0. Prince George Citizen Thursday, October 17", 1357 11 France Cold, Dark As Workers Continue Strike PARIS (AP) — Electricity and gas were cut off over much or France today as workers in the state-operated systems went on a 24-hour warning strike for Higher wages. With telephone communications also affected, it was difficult to assess the extent of the strike in the provinces. But the midnight cutoff his hard in the greater Paris area, which has more than 5,000,000 inhabitants. Flashlights and candles provided the only light for most Parisians who arose before dawn. With the gas low or out, breakfast was a cold meal. Hundreds of thousands who groped their way out in the predawn hours were unable to get to work because the subway and suburban electric systems were halted. TRAFFIC JAM Long lines formed at city bus stops. Many more cars, scoot-ters and bicycles than usual appeared on the streets, threatening the city's worst traffic jam. Elevators stopped runnnig, and late editions of morning papers did not appear as the presses rolled to a stop. Hospitals, however, were being served by emergency circuits or their own generators. The strike—with the unions calling out 110,000 workers— followed long negotiations for higher pay. The unions had demanded 30-per-cent increases while the government offered 20 per cent. Edouard Bamonet, secretary of state for energy in the go\rern-ment of Premier Maurice Bour-ges-Maunoury, had pledged to support the union demands. But when the cabinet crisis began two weeks ago, the cabinet turned into a lame-duck regime and decided it could take no action. Canadian To Conduct In Moscow MONTREAL CD — Jacques Beaudry, regarded as one of Can-ada\s most promising young orchestra leaders, will conduct a faeries of concerts in the Soviet Union starting with Moscow. The invitation to the 33-year-old Montrealer-was extended by the Soviet ministry of cultural affairs through the Russian Embassy in Ottawa. Mr. Beaudry will go to Moscow after a concert Oct. 27 in Paris with a French radio and television orchestra and another Nov. 10 in Brussels with the national orchestra of Belgia'm. Mr. Beaudry, a native of Sorel, Quo., holds a diploma from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. In 1954, he won honors at international orchestra leaders courses in Italy and The Netherlands. On previous tours abroad he has conducted leading orchestras in Italy, The Netherlands and Belgium. On Canadian tours, he has conducted the Toronto symphony orchestra with which he has an engagement on his return from Russia in December. n-tujn,UT VAiNGUAKD, a tnree-stage vehicle, undergoes a firing test at the U.S. Air Force missile testing centre at Cape Canaveral, Fla., in preparation for full scale operation.

Pulp Town Credits Its Success To Bush Horses By FRASER McDOUGALL Canadian Press Stiff Writer 1ROQUOIS FALLS, Oiit. (CP)—The horse, almost vanquished on most fronts by the march of mechanization, still finds a key role in the pulpwood harvest near this paper mill town. . When timber-cutting opera-lions are at their peak, the Abi-tibi Power and Paper Company uses' about 500 horses in the woods, as many as it did 30 years ago before giant trucks and tractors came into the picture. , However, production figures indicate that even here the horses is losing ground. The pulp wood harvest last season was more than double what it was in 1926-27. USED ONLY IN WOODS Once the horse was the motive-power king of the woods. He skidded logs from the cutting areas and then-^hauled, them, to lakes and streams to be floated to the mill here, 35 miles northeast of Timmins. Now his job in this area is only in the woods, skidding single logs to roadsfde skidways or piles where mechanical equipment takes over. In late winter giant diesel trucks and trailers haul up to 74,000 16-foot logs a day, some to the nearest waterside, some directly to the mill. In hauling season, they roar night and day over a 133-mile system of all-weather roads and another 250 or so miles of bulldozed roads used only in winter when frost hardens the normally soft muskeg soil Town and mills owe their continued existence — and the horse his one remaining job — to mechanization and the road system, one of the most highly developed on an Ontario timber limit. To old time bushmen, water was the only economic meaans ol transporting logs long distances. In the woods, the economic cutting range with horses was three miles from water sites, the 4,260-square-mile Abi-tibi limit reached the three-mile stage 35 years ago. Advent of tractors stretched the range to 10 miles from water. Abitibi lengthened that first by building its own railway. By 1954 when the railway line was abandoned and converted into a gravel road, it stretched 33 miles north of Iroquois Falls with temporary branches running to cutting areas in the woods. HAUL LONG DISTANCES Now the company hauls with diesel trucks and trailers and woods manager Hulme Stone says the economic hauling distance is "virtually unlimited." Each unit in the fleet of 51 trucks and 46 trailers carries 10 to 14 cords of pulpwood a trip. They are loaded and unloaded by cranes, equipped with grapples designed and built in the company's machine shop here. Each grapple will pick up as many as 28 16-foot logs at a lift. "Right now we're operating 25 miles from water," says Mr. Stone, a native of Chatham, Ont., who took up woods work at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., where his father was senior judge of Algoma district for many years. "Now we can harvest logs from any part of the limit.' The horse still hauls in the woods because of the nature of the timber stand which has 3,000 and more trees to the acre with only about one-tenth mature enough for harvesting. Mechanical devices damage the immature trees. The horse does less damage and facilitates a faster start on another crop.
