Hydro Authority. The $40,000 model, product of two years of survey work, was built by James W. Ball at West- ern Canada Hydraulic Labora- tories in nearby Coquitlam. Plans for the Columbia power' development call for one of the world's largest earth-fill dams across the river at Mica Creek. The engineers hope the model will help them overcome con- struction problems in advance.

From a small group of private individuals who convened an in- ternational conference "'in order to remedy the inadequacies of the army medical service in the field," it has become a huge or- ganization with 157,000,000 mem- bers in. 87 countries. In the 100 years of its exis- tence it has served millions of péople in two world wars and Swiss businessman, Henri Dun- ant. After seeing the horrors of war for himself, Dunant made two cal suggestions: 1, That in each country, a re- lief society be created which, in the event of war, would be able to aid the army medical service. 2. That countries be bound by an "inviolable convention" which would be the key to action to be carried out by these so- cieties, The first of the proposals re- sulted in the creation of the Red Cross as an institution The second gave birth to the Geneva .|Conventions and International National Red Cross societies,|Humanitarian Law. with the of the Interna- VANCOUVER (CP) -- At a time when more and more women are forsaking the role of housewife to seek careers, Mrs, H.

Journey To Past In Newfoundland By JAMES H, HUSSEY TRINITY, Nfld. (CP) -- The tourist who heads down the road from this eastern New- foundiand town is making a journey into the past. Travelling south by car, you come to a fork in the road after nine miles. on which way you turn, 60 seconds of driving takes you to Old Bona- venture or New Bonaventure, two really unspoiled outports. There, women still work on the fish flakes and wield the hay forks in the summer sun. Making mats and knitting socks, mitts and other gar- make their homes e come back. The elder Mrs. Bai- ley says that during the sum- mer her house is always full of returning friends and relatives. One visitor was Rev. N. G.

"Tf a wolf is killed in Mani- toba or the Northwest Territor- jes the same price should be paid in Saskatchewan," he says, adding that a bounty would en- courage Indians to "hunt the wolf as well as the beaver." Mr. Riddle, 68, who has been working in the barrens of the Northwest Territories for 37 years, was here to confer on caribou movements with offi- cials of the Saskatchewan game branch. "It is necessary that the gov- ernment continue to extermi- nate the wolves because if they don't then there will be nothing for the tourists to come to Can- ada's north to hunt. "Every wolf, after it reaches one year of age, can kill and devour one caribou a week-- enough to feed an Indan fam- ily for almost a year." PC Or Liberal Win Viewed As Tragedy - S.C.

Cluster Treatment Fights VD Spread WINNIPEG (CP)--A drop in the incidence of venereal dis- @ase and new weapons to com- bat it are lending hope in Mani- toba that the problem may be) ' beaten within 10 years. Dr, Emanuel Snell, provincial director of venereal disease control, says that 1,926 cases were reported last year com- pared with 2,249 in 1963, a drop of 15 per cent. He emphasizes, however, that the battle cannot be won here Another anti-VD measure to be introduced here this year is aimed at gonorrhoea. It has an incubation period of only two to five days but contacts of vic- tims could travel thousands of miles during the period. To help save time in notifying health authorities elsewhere so they can track down a person suspected to be spreading the disease, a telephone guide has been issued to health author- ities and doctors in Canada and icy. _ Only Social Credit gives a def- inite clear answer on financial! policy, he said. x} EVERY EVENING FROM 7:30 INCLUDING SUNDAYS ELECTRIC IN CAR HEATERS -- FREE -- PRING THE FAMILY NOW IS THE TIME To have that carpet or chest- erfield cleaned professionally in Oshawa's Original Carpet Cleaning Centre . . . where fully guaranteed satisfaction is assured, Phone 728-4681 NU-WAY RUG CO.
