Quebec (U.R) Quebec prov ince's 27-year-old "beaver protec tion" program is paying off, with the province well in the lead in the production of beaver skins, according to Dr. Camille Pouliot, provincial minister of games and fisheries. "The beaver, Canada's em blem, is also the symbol of in itiative perserverance and in dustry," Dr. Pouliot said. : The beaver was the bait that lured thousands of French and English explorers and settlers to this country more than 300 years ago. Fortunes were made by those who either trapped the animals themselves or purchased the skins from Indians for a few trinkets. V With the years, however, the beaver started to disappear, until 27 years ago when J. S. Watt; manager of the Hudsons Bay Co. at Rupert House, gave the Que bec government its first lesson in beaver conservation. 12 Reserves ) Out of his own pocket, Watt started buying beavers from In dians who found them on their land. The purchase carried the provision that the animals would be leff alone and a report made to the new owner every year.; . Watt finally managed to con vince the Quebec government that his conservation program was a sound one and beaver re Serves under government protec tion were established. ; j Today there are 12 of these SPORTS USC WORKS HARD i Los Angeles (U.R) Southern California Coach Jess Hill said today he was trying to cut down en his team's holding to lessen Jhe penalties Southern Cal has buffered so far this season. 1 In two scrimmages yesterday, Hill worked his players long and Aard fri preparation for the Stan ford game.

OSC-MINNESOTA " Corvallis, Ore. (U.R) Coach Kip Taylor says his Oregon State Beavers should be at near full strength for Saturday's game against Minnesota at Minneapo lis, so he's working on develop ing a sustained offense. He said he was unhappy with the club's inability to keep a drive going against USC last week end, although "except for a few mental lapses," he was well pleased with . Orange de fenses. The Trojans won the game, 34-0v INDIANS BATTERED . Stanford, Calif. (U.R) Five first stringers watched from the bench yesterday as the battered Stanford Indians went through the motions of preparing for Satur day's game against the Trojans of USC. Coach Chuck Taylor said three of the men, who were injured during the 30-26 loss to Wash ington State last week, will be out for Saturday's game against the Southerners.

Paying Off reserves in the northern part of the province covering 184,300 square miles. They will produce 25,950 beaver pelts this year. The beaver skin industry has been extremely remunerative tb the Quebec's far north Indians in thapast 27 years. From starv ing, unclothed and unequipped people, they have become a well dressed, fed and happy part of the population. The first beaver reserve cre ated by Watt at Rupert House in 1927resulted in sites at Notta- way (11,300 square miles), Vieux Comptoir (30,000 square miles), Abitibi (6,000 square miles), Grand Lac Victoria (6,300 square miles), Mistassini (45,000 square miles), Manouane (2,200 square miles), Roberval (20,000 square miles; and Bersimis (21,000 square miles). Furs And Meat Each reserve is divided into hunting and trapping lots and each Indian or trapper owns his own piece, of land. The proper ties are checked each year by government officials and are al ways passed along from father to son. Following the hunting or trap ping season, the owner of the lot turns over his skins to govern ment representatives and they are marked and stamped for sale to brokers or individual furriers. The department of games and fisheries also adds to the develop ment of the industry by moving from one reserve to another the surplus reproduction of the beav er families. For instance, with the cooper ation of the federal department of Indian affairs, 500 beaver families from over-populated re serves of Abitibi and Nottaway will be "transplanted" to those of Manouane, Mistassini, Rober val and Bersimis. Besides income from the sale of the skins, the Indians hunting or trapping the beaver also sup ply their families with the meat of the animals, which is a del icacy to them. Stanford To Launch New Atom Smasher Stanford University, Calif. - U.R) Stanford scientists, now moving into their brand new $200,000 microwave laboratory, are preparing "to launch con struction of still, another atom smasher, to be known as the Mark IV. Laboratory Director Edward L. Ginzton said the new atom smasher, scientifically known as an electron linear accelerator, will contribute to medical and biological investigations. It also will further development of still larger and better atom-smashers. The Mark IVs forerunner, the Mark IH, will continue to oper ate in the older building known as the High Energy Physics La boratory, now under the direc tion of Prof. W. K. H. Panofsky. Both laboratories together comprise the W. W. Hansen La boratories of Physics. They were named for the late William Web ster Hansen, pioneering Stanford physicist who founded the Uni versity's large microwave labor atory. The bulk of the new labora tory's work is government-sponsored. In particular, the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission is supporting the Mark IV and larger accelerator studies. The Office of Naval Research is spon soring the klystron work,' while the medical accelerator studies are under American Cancer So ciety and U. S. Public Service sponsorship.
