THE PALACE GRAND Dawson City Prepares For 60th Anniversary DAWSON CITY, Yukon (CP) Spring creeps slowly into this Yukon gold rush capital as it prepared to celebrate its 60th anniversary of incorporation as a city. After a long, cold winter-- during which it cost $775 a month to keep electric heaters on the 31 fire hydrants--excite ment is mounting as the 800 residents look to a summer busier than any since the days when gold lured adventurers from many countries. The people who live here the jyear round will be outnumbered iby visitors with 1,000 expected 'to be here for each day of the Gold Rush Festival July 1 to Aug. 24, The Palace Grand Theatre (it was called the Auditorium The- atre when built in 1899) is getting the finishing touches as workmen complete its restora- tion for the world premiere of Few Christians Found In Japan TOKYO (Reuters) -- Christi- anity is making little headway | cuit evangelism." | itinerant evange-| unbelievable," said Tom Patter-| them-|lists are one of Japan's great-\son, founder of Ontario's Strat- in Japan, and anxious mission- aries here are asking selves why.

The musical isn't the nly attraction. There's still gold here although no one will get rich from it. Arrangements have been made for visitors to tour the gold fields and try their luck at panning. They'll be permitted to keep what they find. SLEEP IN TENTS "Sixty-four years ago people from all over the world filled the streets of Dawson City and found treasure in the Kiendike streams,"' said Mayor Jim Mc- Causland, a 58-year-old Ivish- man. "We hope to see the streets overflowing again during the Gold Rush Festival. We will show our visitors a living pic- ture of a famous era in the history of Western Canada and the United States." For those who prefer more of the Klondike atmosphere than can be had in hotel or motel there will be a tent city, Those who sleep in the tents will get scrolls as honorary sourdoughs. Residents hope the festival will restore some of the glory of the old Dawson City which has seen some hard times since it had its first mayor, Henry Macauley, a businessman and canoe-racing champion from Victoria. He and his five - member council were faced with the problem of administering an isolated, gold-rich community that then had a population of 25,000, of whom 85 per cent were Americans, RELIVE HISTORY Although the city now {ts celebrating its 60th birthday, it Was governed by the commis- sioner of the Yukon under territorial bylaws from 1906 to 1950. This was made necessary by a declining population and the overlapping of territorial and municipal offices in the community. In 1950, three years before the capital of the Yukon was moved to Whitehorse, @ mayer and council were elected. Today there are 75 businesses, including five hotels and bev- erage rooms, two banks, greenhouse, five cafes and two garages. The chief commodity for sale, however, is history--the saloons where fortunes were won and lost; the fashionable shops that once sold Paris and London hions; the outd m of mining equipment from the past, and streams with such names as Bonanza, Last Chance, Gold Run and Gold Bottom. URBAN PORTION Canada in 1961 had about 50 municipalities whose popula- tions exceeded 25,000. BACKACHE? KINGSTON, Jamaica (Reu- ters)--The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization and several Caribbean coun- tries have begun working out a program to make better use of the fish resources of a 60,000- square-mile area by training fishermen in the use of modern gear and the marketing of fish. The countries involved are Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Barbados, Martin- ique, Venezuela and The Neth- erlands West Indies. For the training phase of the Resources Plan For Carribean THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, Mey 9, 1962 2] program, 10 boats, including a 65 - foot research trawler of about 70 tons, will be used. The other boats are to vary from 45 to 50 feet in size and to be of various types. The research boat. will be stationed at the, headquarters of the project and will carry out research into the location of fish. Bridgetown, Barbados, is fa- vored as the headquarters site since it is considered ideal for research into marine life and Each of the other nine boats is to be based in one of the participating countries. Each will be directly concerned with training fishermen in the use of modern fishing methods and in gear technology. The government of the home port of any particular boat will dispose of the fish in any way it deems fit, as it will be re- sponsible for the wages of the crew. In addition, any other local cost, on the basis of man-days worked in the country, will be met by that government. The government, however, will not pay anything toward the cost of the headquarters staff of ex- perts. Advanced training in the form of fellowships for fisheries officers and technologists also deepwater fishing as a whole. will be provided. not me! elief from che or that out feeling | I doped en-- T.
