Some say yes. Paris who have visited Canada recently say it is hard to con- vince the folks back home that France is a changing country, ex- periencing what amounts to a small-scale industrial revolution. "It's very difficult to persuade Canadians that France is a going concern," said one observer. "By now, it should be apr: cnt 'ha developments such as the Com-| mon Market have passed the| pipe-dream stage inlo reality. It] is here to stay, and it is already having an effect." It appears that there are two faces of France. One is the fa- miliar comic-opera version of po- litical primitivism and economic fossilization, of La Belle France| and oo-la-la, of an individualist society in which each man cul-| tivates his own garden, stuffs his} socks with gold and thumbs a| rubicund nose at his neighbor. | BUT WAIT The other, whose lineaments | are just emerging, is of a new generation adapting itself to mod- ern methods. | Belatedly entering the 20th cen-| tury, this other France is pio-| neering new engineering con-| cepts, wresting oil from the Sa-| hara, making inroads into the North American automobile mar- ket, welcoming the advent of 22 projected new supermarkets in| the Paris area and above all, breaking away almost without re- gret from the old commercial strait-jacket of cosy cartels and protectionist techniques "Nobody really thought it would ever happen, but competi- tion seems to be busting out all over," said a Canadian trade of-| ficial. As examples of French vitality, | informants cited the natural gas developments at Lacq in the Py renees, near Toulouse, and a model community at Meudon, | about 15 miles west of Paris. In Paris, a team of 20 workers com- pleted in nine days a four-storey apartment building designed to house 200. BRILLIANT YOUTH | Youth is having its fling. The engineers at Lacq are said to be all under 32. This puts them] roughly in the same age bracket | as the pioneers of the New Wave| in the French cinema--a group of | enterprising directors specializ-| Ing in low-budget films and fresh techniques. Among the top names | are Francois Truffaut, 27; Claude | Chabrol, 29; and Alain Resnais, | xn.

Tn 1909, for the first time im ®t least a generation, France sold to Canada more than she bought from her. | The older face of France per- sists in places, In Gen. de Gaulle's Fifth Republic, political | stability is precarious. The divis-| ive forces that put a post-war | check on French recovery are still there. The familiar argu- | ments over traditional issues such as state aid to Roman Cath- olic schools and privileges for| whisky distillers are again in pro- gress. By far the biggest menace is| the Algerian war. As long as it lasts, there will be dangerous Long Indian Pipeline To Be Built By ADRIENNE FARRELL NEW DELHI (Reuters)--Work will start shortly on a 720-mile pipeline which will carry 2.750.- 000 tons of crude oil a year down to the plains from rich oilfields discovered in Assam state. The pipeline, the longest in In- dia, will be built through miles of jungle, swamp and ricefields, and across 78 rivers. It will feed the oil into two new government owned refineries, one at Noon- mati; on the Brahmaputra River, in Assam, and the other at Ba- rauni om the plains of Bihar| state. } Since 1953, when the first big oil strike was made at Nahorka-| tiva in upper Assam by the Brit- ish-owned Assam Oil Company, 58 wells have been drilled in the area. Their total estimated po- tential is 2,750,000 tons a year--| more than five times the present | volume of crude oil production in| India. In addition, the oilfields are ex-| pected to yield 100,000,000 cubic feet of gas a day ! PUBLIC PROJECT Exploitation of this oil wealth will be carried out by the Indian | government with the help of Brit-| ain, the Soviet Union and Ro-| mania. To extract the oil, the Indian] government has set up a new oil| company. The government is pro- | viding one-third of the capfial| and will have veto powers on the | board, with the Burmah Oil Com-| pany providing two-thirds, The Burmah Oil Company also will build the pipeline Romanian technical and finan cial aid is helping to build the first refinery at Noonmati. Soviet technicians will help to build the second at Barauni. The Soviet government also has offered a] long-term loan towards its con- struction. The first 261 miles of pipeline should be ready by 1962. ALUMINUM OUTPUT Canada's aluminum production reached a record 534,100 tons in 1988, almost 14 per cent larger than the preceding year. ° N.AKE iT Value for only The Pinchurst 21" Deluxe Console TV with all top front controls.
