Although the U.S. census of 1960 shows that Alaska's popula- tion soared by 7a per cent dur- ing the last decade, there is still space to spare and plenty of room for newcomers. Subject to final revision, the count reveals that 223,888 persons now live in a state whose 586,400- square-mile area is larger than Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Fin- land and Iceland combined. Each Alaskan could be given a 2%-square-mile piece of land. Ten years ago, the population totalled 128,643. About one-third were from the aborigine stock of Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts. | The 1960 preliminary returns show that 82,560 people live in | the Anchorage district.

(CP) -- If it hadn't been for a Canadian-born officer, Katanga, the rich prov- ince which has withdrawn from the new Congo republic, might have been British instead of Bel- gian, Evidence of the part played in the destiny of Katanga by Capt. William Grant Stairs, a native of Halifax and graduate of Royal Military College here in 1882, has been uncoved by Capt. Carmen Darling, RMC public relations officer. From 1887 to 1890, on leave of absence from the British army, Capt. Stairs served on the staff of the British-sponsored expedi- tion led by H.M. Stanley which had been sent to the relief of Emin Pasha, Governor or Equat- torial Africa, who was cut off by enemies in the Upper Nile re- gion. Stanley, who in 1871 had made his famous trip to find Dr, Liv- ingstone, had some dealings with| Belgian Interests. . These were later carried on by Capt. Stairs. | SENT BY LEOPOLD At the time, King Leopold II of the Belgians was trying to broaden the influence of his Congo Free State. Spurred by reports that Cecil Rhodes was sending a prospection mission to mineral-rich Katanga from the south, Leopold sent out four Bel- gian expeditions from 1889 to 1891. Role In Congo Capt. Stairs, then working for a Belgian corporation in which British funds were invested, was the leader of one of the expedi- | tions. Katanga was ruled by a na- tive chief, M'Siri, who had little use for the whites but decided to cast his lot with the British and "teach the Belgians a les- son." A letter was sent to Alfred (later Sir Alfred) Sharpe asking him to go to take possession of Katanga in the name of Britain The runner carrying the letter was intercepted by Capt. Stairs He read it and put it in his pocket. M'SIRI KILLED He continued to M'Siri's capi- tal where the chief, faced with rebellion and famine in his coun- try, tried to enlist Capt, Stairs' help. He refused. M'Siri was shot dead by a Bel- gian officer after he brandished a gun during a heated interview. There was general relief among the people that M'Siri had been removed and it was at this time that the Congo Free State flag was hoisted over the capital. On the west wall of the en- tranuce to the RMC administra- | tion building is a brass memor- |ial tablet which says: | "William Grant Stairs, Cap- tain, Welch Regiment.

The time may come when you'll wish you had it back, re- search at the California Institute of Technology indicates. The long 'ed a useless organ, may play an im- portant role 'in the body's de: fence against infections, says im- logist Dieter Sussdorf. It may also help protect these body defences from damage by radiation such as x-rays or the rays given off in a nuclear ex- plosion. Dr. § f said the ap has been found to be rich in lymphoid cells that are capable of producing disease-fighting anti- bodies. Paralysis of the body's mech- anism for making antibodies is a major cause of radiation deaths. With no antibodies to stop them, ever-present germs can invade the body uncontrolled and the victim dies of infection, Dr. Sussdorf's research with rabbits, sponsored by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, shows that it is not necessary to shield the whole body from radia- tion to save the defence mechan- ism, Shielding only certain organs, such as the spleen and the appendix, can do it. lief expedition, 1887, under the leadership of H.M.

"That road!" |he is said to have wailed. "I won't drive an- other inch down that road. I'll stay in Boston Bar until I die." Anyone who has ever driven the Fraser Canyon section of the Trans-Canada Highway will un- derstand the man's consterna- tion. The road, with its narrow, twisting, cliff-hanging route, its white - faced, terror - stricken travellers, is nearly a thing of the past, however. At an estimated cost of $40, 000,000, spread over nearly a decade, a new highway has been built by an army of men facing one «of the toughest construction jobs on the continent--quarrying a road out of the walls of the Fraser Canyon. NEW BRIDGE There are still many rough spots in the 30-mile stretch be- tween Hope and Boston Bar, 80 miles northeast of Vancouver, but it is, relatively speaking, a super-highway compared with its condition 10 years ago. A new bridge is being built across the canyon to replace the present suspension span at Alex- andria. When this $4,000,000 bridge is finished, it is likely the votion to duty. present one will be demolished. | sandwiches, one blasted out. A second tunnel at that point will be abandoned, and farther up the road another tunnel is being bored. This 1.18 miles is the most ex- pensive bit of road work on the basis of mileage ever tackled in B.C.--$2,242,723. Although many will be glad to see the old road gone, others will deplore the loss of beauty 'spots erased by earth removers, pneu- matic drills and blasting powder, Healthy Diets With Variety EDMONTON (CP) -- Well-bal- anced diets needn't be limited in their choice of foods, says nu- tritionist Mary Macbeth. Chief nutritionist for the nu. trition division of the federal health department, "she told a meeting of home economists from across Canada there are dl food binations which can supply all the needed nu- trients, She told of a woman whose main diet was peanut butter milk and orange juice. No lack of nutrition could be found in the basic diet except for the suggestion that she add raw carrots. Army private, he lost both legs!
