ANNE MASON ST. ALBERT, Alta. (CP)--In his lifeuume, Vital Justin Gran- din was. known and loved throughout Western Canada as "the lousy hishop."' The gentle Roman Catholic missionary, whose virtues were approved in May by the. Vati- can Congregation of Rites, earned the nickname when he slept on the floors of native tents or huts during a three- year into the Mackenzie Valley to organize the vicariate of Athabasca-Mackenzie. The bishop, who died in thir Edmonton suburb in 1902 at the age of 73, will shortly be de- irip Urban Renewal In Calgary May Spur $75 By DON MacLACHLAN t CALGARY (CP)--Land - buy-|," ing "now is under way in the first stage of a $24,500,000 scheme to rip out and replace what city officials refer to with a shudder as "'the blighted area" of downtown Calgary. They hope that by 1975 or 1980, a planner's dream of mod- ern buildings, park and service areas will replace tattered homes and business buildings, scruffy rooming houses and criminal hangouts. The city planning department has estimated the urban re- newal scheme could 'spark a $75,000,000 boom of private and public spending. The whole plan entails major surgery on 31 blocks on the eastern edge of the main downtown business area. The first stage will cover eight blocks, or 38.3 acres, at a cost of about $6,600,000 The eight-block area now is a sordid jumble of industrial and commercial buildings, poor homes, cut + price depgrtment and second hand _ stores, crowded rooming houses, half- hearted attempts at beauty through whitewash. "It's a bad, bad eyesore," Says planning director Al Mar- tin. "It's not the real skid road 'area--we'll get into that later-- but an area of poor people, not necessarily poverty - stricken, just poor," RESIDENTS AGREE Renewal plans set aside one block for commercial use, an- other for housing the aged, an- other for a vocational school and others for school board, cultural, recreational, church and residential use.

Of these, only about 100 have said they will need some assistance. "We conducted interviews at public meetings," explains Mr. Martin. "There was no real op- position to the renewal plan. We're working out details of how we can give assistance to those that need it." The federal government has agreed to pay $3,300,000 and lend the city another $730,000 to help it with the municipal share of $1,300,000. The Alberta gov- ernment has approved a con tribution of $1,980,000. The city y is Suying Jand and hopes to regain about $1,000,000 by re- selling areas for private devel- opment. As well as private and public building, to be completed by 1970, planners want a complete overhaul of. streets, improve- ment of services, at least 3.8 acres of parks and covered pedestrian walkways. COLLECT MORE TAXES Then, biock by block, renewal would cover the 31 blocks About 1,300 persons live in the area and the broken - down homes business buildings give the city tax department a perennial headache. Tax revenue could be 'greatly increased, some officials say tripled, by urban renewal, Rey- enue last year from the area amounted to only $372,000. Social siudies also were car- ried out as planners remapped the first eight blocks and the University of Calgary has ten- tative plans for a wide-ranging study of social problems in the remaining area. Part of the information will be used to solve the problem of what to do with the crumbling red-light, bootlegging and gam- bling neighborhood, of which Mr. Martin says: "I guess we have to iive with it.' Planners propose to move the residents a few blocks farther south (they've been drifting that way for some time) to an| area which would be provided with and offices for ana hostels counselling and social services. The first urban renewal plan is part of a long-range program for the whole downtown area, to be unveiled shortly, designed to meet city requirements into the 1980s. Under business, trial and the plan, residential, government, ind u s- hotel developments wili be grouped in specific and there will be fast transit and treeway travel The first ground will broken within six months, the initial eight-block area, for board administration buildings.

The bishop made several trips to France to recruit missiona- ries, church workers and settlers and to raise funds. Many mis- sionaries died by massacre, were drowned in floods or were frozen to death. Supplies were lost in swollen rivers, posts were destroyed by fire and fre- quent crop failures caused food shortages. But the diocese eventually prospered, During Bishop Gran- din's 31 years in St. Albert, he established 30 parishes with priests, 25 missions, two semi- naries, 31 elementary schools, eight boarding schools, five hos- pitals and two orphanages. Fifty-two priests, 24 lay broth- ers and 136 nuns came to the diocese. During the Riel rebellion of 1884-5, the bishop sheltered most of the settlers from nearby Fort Edmonton and Fort Saskatche- wan. St. Albert itself was not attacked, First steps toward Bishop Grandin's canonization weré taken in 1930, 28 years after his death, when a diocesan tribunal appointed by the bishop of Ed- monton found that he practised all the virtues to a heroic de gree, His cause was officially accepted in Rome in 1038.
