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.
Six aprons made by the
Grange ladies were displayed
and other ladies are urged to
finish their aprons and bring
them in as soon as possible.
Some sewed on fancy work
for the bazaar this fall
Visitors were Mrs. Ruth Sho-
ber and grandma Moffatt. The
Piggy, prize was won by Stenie
Mc Mahan.
The new chairs the ladies
bought for the Grange have
been delivered.

This and That
W. 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.

East Main
Proposal Loses, 5 to 2
Extension of the Medford busl
ness district cast one olock on
both sides of East Main street
was defeated last night by a 5
to 2 vote of the city council.
The council action terminated
lively dispute on the zone
change, which was started about
five months ago. Councilmen
voting for a change In zone were
Elmer Childers and Frank
Runtz, Stanley Jones Jr., Harold
Fry, Dwight Houghton, Earl Mil
ler and Paul Selby voted against
changing the zone.
Approximately 30 residents of
the area concerned in the pro
posed change sat in on the hear
ing, many of them for the third
time. Only three were in favor
of the zone change. The others,
with Attorney Ken Denman act
ing as spokesman for the group,
actively opposed it.
The area wnicn would nave
been changed from residential
to limited commercial is between
Cottage and Myrtle streets to a
depth of 170 feet on the south
side of East Main street, and
OPEN TONIGHT TILL 9 P.M.

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.

Talent Fire Group
In Business Meeting
Talent Business matters con
cerning the Talent Rural Fire as
sociation were discussed when
the board of directors met Mon
day evening in the Talent city
hall, according to Andrew Haw
ver. chairman of the board.
"We are now In the process of
overhauling our bookkeeping
system," Hawver pointed out,
"and hope to make it more effic
ient." The chairman also reported
that the association "is Just about
ready to hook up a phone booth
with a direct line so fires can be
reported by asking the operator."
A new secretary-treasurer was
named at the meeting to replace
Mrs. Norma Marsh who moved
out of the area. He is Martin
Wood.
Hawver added that the associa
tion is still asking for those who
have pledged subscriptions to
turn them in so the group can
buy some "much-needed" hose.
The association voted to par
ticipate in the Talent Jamboree
on June 28 with n booth entry,
the chairman concluded.
