Canada Eyes New Highway To Build Up Wild Country Edmonton, Alta. (U.B Fed eral and Alberta government of ficials look to a new highway to help build up Canada's vastly rich but comparatively un scfatched northland. - The all-w e a t h e r Mackenzie highway also is being heralded as an important road link in the event of an enemy attack over the polar region. The highway crosses 384 miles of muskeg, forest and farmland on a course due north from the northern Alberta center of Grim shaw to ' Hay river, on Great Slave lake, northwest territory. A ' gravel road built three years ago at a cost of $4,300,000 to both governments, the Mac kenzie highway is making its im portance felt in the northland. Trad Grows The highway is connected with the main road system in north ern Alberta which, , traveling south, ties in with Edmonton, and, northwest, reaches Dawson Creek, B.C., the southern term inus of the Alaska highway. Alberta officials surveyed the results of the Mackenzie high way and got these results: Traders who once had to wait weeks for a shipment of supplies freighted along the Peace river, or by winter tractor-tram, now have goods delivered to their doorstep within hours after large trucks have left Grimshaw. Miners no longer have to fly or freight their heavy machinery into the north at exorbitant costs. Heavy trucks carry sup plies to Hay River, where boats regularly serve Yellowknife and points along the Mackenzie river system, which reaches norm to the Arctic coast. North of Grimshaw, home steaders use the highway to carry rich harvests to elevators on the railway. Last year more than 600,000 bushels of wheat atad 200,000 bushels of coarse grain were taken to market over the road. Plenty of Fish Great Slave .' lake : provides Canada with the greatest source of fresh water fish of any lake in the country. Last year, about 8,000,000 pounds of whitefish and trout, valued at $612,000, were hauled from Hay River south along the highway to mar ket outlets. Formerly, limited supplies of fish were taken only in the sum- Jatorato fit parade favorites Join the many women who ore making " Naturalize? a national hobit.

Win ter fishing now accounts for al most half the total annual catch. Fur traders now market their pelts over the highway, whereas they formerly used, the water ways or . airplanes by necessity. Trappers and traders are within easy reach of hospital and med ical services. Tourists are able to get their first look at the 46-foot Louise Falls and the 106-foot Alexandra falls along the Hay fiver paral leling the highway at various points. Also moving out over the high way are gold from Yellowknife, uranium from Port Radium and other metals urgently needed in Canada's defense build-up.
