A Nichols' Worth of Comment On IY HAP.MAN United Prase Arvida, Que. (U.P.) The area surrounding this communi ty is unlnue. The only ulcer here around i own ed by an al derman who brought it with him when he came here a decade ago. The area has the highest birth rate in North Amer ica 34 per thniieanH nnnil. Harmon Nlchota ation And ,he lowest death rate. Nobody ever is in a hurry. With gas selling around 48 cents per gallon, lew people own cars, which come at a fancy price because of taxes, import, and the like. Bicycles are the vogue. Shank's ponies are good enough for many. The city was built by the Aluminum Company of Canada, which literally carved a town out of rock in the Saguenay dis trict of Quebec. No Houses Alike No two houses are alike. The rents are dirt . cheap and the homes are stacked away from the highways where children have no fear of getting put low by modern trafficr There are no slums. The com pany provides golf courses, and curling facilities during the bit ter months. There are tennis courts, and in the winter basketball and other indoor sports not to men tion outdoor activities su"h -skating and skiing. Schools Built Often The babies come so rapidly that the "city council" finds it necessary to build about a new school every year or so. As of now there are 11 Catholic and one Protestant school to accom modate a population of 11,000. The people are home lovers. In the late afternoon you'll find the father, mother, and their flock out working in the yard or garden. Streets are deserted at night and the police haven't had a call for rowdyism in many a month. Family groups gather around a secondhand piano to ting hymns. Either that or the young 'teen agcrs fly the coop tc go to recreation centers where they are chaperoned. Emergency Crew Handy In the plant itself many, many buildings of the plant the workers have a fairly easy time. Being strictly modern, the place is practically push-button, with a large crew standing by for an emergency. A breakdown could cost hundreds of dollars a minute. BarberShop Quartet Slates Movie at T The Society for the Preserva tion and Encouragement of Bar ber Shop Quartet Singing in America will present a colored motion picture, "Operation Har mony," as part of the Family Night program at the YMCA Fri day night, according to Robert L. Jones, 'Y' director. Gus Voss manager of the chorus, said the group will sing before the show. Frank Van Dyke, president, has announced the appointment of Dick Kaye as general chair man of the Family Night pro gram; Kaye has called a meeting of the program committee for 6:30 p.m. Friday to discuss plans for Family Night summer ac tivities. Family Night has become a popular part of 'Y' activities dur ing the approximately 2V4 years that the night has been set aside for families to get together for fun and recreation, Jones said. The progranv centers around family participation activities with square dancing, swimming lobby games, movies and games in the gymnasium. The Grange Roxy Ann Grange Roxy Ann Grange Home Eco nomics club met April 30 at the home of Mrs. C. P. Van Ortwick. After a dessert lunch eon, canning tips were discussed.

NICHOLS Future Writaf So, with' little physical labor a man is on the Job one hour and then off an hour. That has created what likely Is the closest thing to a perpetual bridge game. The workers who are off scoot to the "rest room." A man will sit down In the middle of a game, get a fast fill-in from his stand-in, and make up his own mind whether it is proper to lead with small one or finesse with a queen. The plant operates 24 hours a day. No Money Wagered You'll find some of the best bridge players in the world among these aluminum workers. No money is bet. In season, the workers use their idle time to dip a line in the streams for land - locked salmon and trout. Everybody looks well and healthy. The hospital is almost empty. Nobody was mad or ex cited. The goose hangs way up there. And people are not hurt ing for money.

The council action terminated lively dispute on the zone change, which was started about five months ago.

DEMONSTRATION Rezoning I oeiween uenessee arui uenevi streets to a depth of 160 Icet on the north side. Opposition from the south side of the street was centered chief ly in the Corning court area. Col. Frank D. Applin, 5 Corning court, stated that to allow com mercial development of the area would destroy the conditions which make Corning court a de sirable cection in which to reside Other foes of the change cited Increased traffic on the narrow cast side streets, expansion of the business district before the present downtown district Is ful ly developed and danger to the children from increased traffic, Those favoring the change stated at earlier phases of the hearing that undeveloped sec tions of the downtown business area are undeveloped because they arc undesirable from a busi ness standpoint. Attractive com mercial development of lower East Main street would add to property values in that area, they said. - fx- . ' iti. v TONIGHT-PAINT DEPT., BASEMENT , Wednesday.
