Sr. IRR") Kitimat Will Be Model Community As Alcan's $550 million project in Northern B.C. begins to take shape, on schedule for mid-1954 completion of the first phaze, it's becoming evident that future in- habitants of Kitimat will also deem it a good place to stay, Ken- neth White writes in The Finan- cial Post. They'll have everything modern living and modern planning can rovide. ODEL CENTRE Their aim is a model commun- ity. Aluminum Co. of Canada pro- vided the initiative and the plan- ning -- by some of the world's to] giatners -- and growth, which will big and immediate, lies in the hands of the new town fathers of Canada's newest community. The young but now familiar planning pattern of individual neighborhoods is emerging at Kiti- mat. By 1955, Alcan estimates pop- ulation of the city will be 7,000 on the strength of its own employ- ment alone. Eventually, perhaps in 20 years, the city may reach 50,000 to become B.C.'s fourth or fifth largest city. Certainly it's destined to shoot up sharply from 7,000. Alcan is go- ing to have cheap hydro-electric power for sale (total installed capacity at Kemano will be 2.2 million h.p.). Already Canadian Liquid Air Co. plans construction of a $375,000 plant at Kitimat; the _ city as a site for pulp and paper development is getting close atten- tion of Powell River Co., who have applied for a forest manage- ment licence. WANTS INDUSTRIES From the beginning, Alcan has guarded against a company or a one-industry town. Both Alcan and the B.C. Government are promot- ing the city as a choice site for new industry; several firms are interested. Evep without considering the electric power source it's not hard to see why. The new city is locat- ed in 62 square miles of open val- ley and moderately sloping land where Kitmat River flows into the Douglas Channel, 70 miles from open sea. Ten neighborhoods have been established, each with indi- vidual characteristics and each to accommodate 1,200 to 1,500 fam- ilies, with density varying from three to five families per acre of land suitable for building. "The Fase of development an- ticipated led to establishment of four basic stages of development," said J. E. Dudley, Alcan's chief planner in charge of town plan- ning and Housing. "Stage I anticipated a town of some 6,000 to 7,000 persons, pri- marily accommodated in neighbor- hood A. Stage II contemplated a population of 12,000 to 15,000 and development of neighborhood B. Stage III contemplated a population of 23,000 to 25,000 and development of neighborhoods C and D. At this point the town will be at the half- way mark." Each neighborhood has its own education facilities in the master plan. School sites are within a quarter mile walking distance for primary school children and one- half mile for elementary grades. Junior high school sites have been located in relation to the develop- ment of neighberhoods. SHOPPING AREAS After cial and ec studies, the planners recommend- ed integrated shopping centres. The neighborhoods provide space for businesses catering to daily needs--food, general merchandise, hardware, meals and refreshments, beauty and barber shops, shoe re- pairs, laundry and dry-cleaning pickup. In addition neighborhoods have sites for movie houses, bowl- ing, etc., a small hotel primarily for single workers and a medical- dental clinic. A city centre will contain busi- ness and civic buildings, hotels, local transportation and bus centre and other commercial facilities which supplement but don't dupli- cate the daily needs provided for in the neighborhoods. The planners have also recommended a service centre, adjacent to the city's rail- road station. (C.N.R. is currently building a $10 million, 42-mile line to join Terrace, its main northern line, to Kitimat.) The service centre provides space for light industry and other business best located near the rail station and away from housing and business centres, =f. sheet metal and wood working, bottling works, dairy and bakery, newspaper and printing, auto sales and service, machinery repairs, storage, etc. ic HOUSEHOLD HINT Spilled medicine and cosmetics are less likely to stain shelves in the bathroom cabinet if these sur- faces are waxed. Bottles and jars won't stick to the waxed parts dur- ing damp weather. Women Pace Men In Reronautics WASHINGTON Residents of Lancaster, California, long accus- tomed to the roar of jets from nearb$ Edwards Air Force Base, were unaware that the flight streaking over them recently was making history. At the controls of the plane was a woman. Jacqueline Cochran was engaged in setting a new interna- tional speed record and en route to becoming the first woman to fly faster than the speed of sound. Since Jeanne Genieve Garnerin of France made the first feminine solo balloon ascent in 1799, an in- creasing. succession of daring wo- men -have taken to aeronautics, says the National Georgraphic So- ciety. Forerunner of women pilots, Mme. Garnerin was the wife of Andre Jacques Garnerin, one of the great balloonists of the era. Together they held the title of Of- ficial Aeronauts to Napoleon. PIONEER AVIATRICES French aviatrix Helene Dutrieu early served notice that achieve- ments in heavier-than-air aviation were not to be held exclusively by men. The first woman to remain in the air for one hour, she was awarded the Coupe Femina trophy for her 40-mile flight over Paris on December 15, 1909. A year later she became the first woman to take up a passenger. An American, Harriet Quimby, created a sensation in 1912 by fly- ing the English Channel, the most perilous flight yet attempted by a| woman. Miss Quimby, the first! licensed woman pilot in the United States, flew from Deal, England, to Eiphen, France. She maneuvered her fragile monoplane through dense clouds at an altitude of 6,- 000 feet, guided only by a com- pass which she had never before used. Unfortunately, like many of her | fellow pioneers of the air, her car- eer was a brief one. She died in a crash near her home in Boston three months later. Amelia Earhart's exploits, prior | to her fatal venture in 1937, placed her in the front rank of pilots, men and women. She was the first wo- man to fly the Atlantic in a plane (1928), and the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic (1932). She was the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland (1935). For her solo flight across the Atlantic, Miss Earhart received the National Geographic Society's Spe- cial Gold Medal, never before aw- arded to a woman. CO-PILOT FOR HER HUSBAND |. Anne Morrow Lindbergh was the first woman to fly across the South Atlantic and to cross from America to Japan by air. On these journeys she served as co-pilot, navigator and radio operator for her hus- band. For her achievements, she became the first women to receive the Society's Hubbard Gold Medal. The world's first woman stratos- phere flyer was Jeannette Piccard. She piloted the balloon in which she and her husband, Dr. Jean Piccard, made a stratosphere flight to a height of approximately 11 miles (57,579 feet) on October 23, No American woman had a larg- er hand in making flying a fact than Katherine Wright, sister of Orville and Wilbur Wright, although she never flew herself. Katherine Wright helped pay for. and actual- ly helped build, the Wright broth- ers' successful airplane. * AIRSHADE CIRCULAR JYP protection steps. they keep rain, and Ie aml test sun.

Reports of the Na- tional Manufacturers Association show shipments in January and February this year reached the fastest clip for that period in more than a quarter-century. They were up nine percent from the rate of early 1950 a year which saw piano sales hit their highest pitch in over two decades. For all 1953 -- B. F. Duvall, vice- president of a big manufacturing company in Chi forecasts total production of over 180,000 pianos, 5,000 above 1950 output and the highest since 1927. Most other manufacturers agree. NATIONAL AVERAGE facturers in the Midwest, the big- These reports from major manu- | pr gest piano - making region, are echoed by producers in other parts of the country -- 'hough not all are equally joyful. The rebound comes as good news to a much-harassed industry. Back in the days when the parlor piano was the nucleus of "amily musical recreation, sales year after year averaged above 300,000 units an- nually. But by the late Twenties began to decline with the advent of radio, and the depression of the Thirties all but finished what was left. Durinng the Second World War piano production was entirely halted. These tribulations thinned the ranks of piano makers from over 150 to under 30. After the war, the industry grad- ually began building upward, with uction reaching a post - war peak of 175,511 instruments in 1950, THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, June 18, 1958 208 when a big boost came from Ko- rean-war scare buying. Now, final- ly freed of government materials controls, piano producers can take 2dvantage of the burgeoning mar- et. MORE PUPILS J. F. Feddersen, president of the Manufacturers' Association, lists as a major factor the bumper Sec- ond World War crop of babies, which have now grown into the seven - to - 14 age group. "These youngsters are now reaching the right age for taking music les- sons," Mr. Feddersen says, '"'and this is" only the beginning. We can expect a 30 percent increase in that age group by eight years from now." Piano makers are keeping in tune with the times by offering a spate of new models and finishes. You can buy a piano today in almost any finish from blond wal- nut to limed oak to plain black. One company has models covered with blue, blond and mahogany- colored plastic.
