$4 million

in 580 separate own ways

TORONTO (CP) -~ There
were 2,300 of them in Ontario.

They spent just under $4
million of taxpayers’ money in
580 separate ways of their own
choosing.

They took children from
pollution-ridden Hamilton out to
Margaret Roy’s farm for some
fresh air and fun; lobbied
London businessmen to hire
former psychiatric patients;
battled at Lakehead University
in Thunder Bay to save the
Newfoundland pine marten
from extinction, and, all over
Ontario, fought for clean air and
water.

They were the Ontario “kids”

portunities for Youth program

DUFFERS
INFLUENCE
‘DESIGN. .......-.

Weekend golfers are exerting
a major influence on the game
of golf,

Because of the growing
number of men, women and
children picking up the sport, it
is expected that golf course
construction will be stepped up
dramatically in Canada within
the next 10 years.

Three Canadian golf course
architects — members of the
prestigious American Society of
Golf Course Architects that
includes men from Mexico and
the U.S. as well as Canada —
predict that new golf courses
will be designed and con-
structed with the duffer, as well
as the polished player, in mind.

C.E. Robinson, Toronto,
recently elected president of the
American Society of Golf
Course Architects, says new
courses are being designed with
‘built-in flexibility. .

“Many new courses can be

stretched from a minimum of -

5,800 yards to 6,800 yards. These
courses challenge the complete
spectrum of golfers — from the
polished professional to the.
novice.”

Norman H, Woods, a golf
course architect from Crawford
Bay, B.C., reveals ‘‘only three
per cent of all golfers regularly
break 80 and only seven per cent
regularly break 9.

“It's evident that golf courses
can’t be designed with only the

touring pros in mind, although
they must be considered, "
Woods contends, ‘A vast
multitude of golfers can't even’
break 100.”

and, mirrored in the bulky
catalogue of projects they
initlated and administered, are
many of their social values,

Some, like deep concern with
the state of the environment,
are well known.

Others, especially an over-
riding feeling for the plight of
underprivileged children, may
come as something of a surprise
to the alder generation.

They launched innumerable
programs to get city kids into
the country, build recreational
facilities for grade schoolers,
take the handicapped on outings
and try to help the mentally
retarded.

STUDY POLLUTION

“That's it,” said Dave Austin,
OFY regional co-ordinator,
pointing to a three-inch stack of
mimeographed sheets on his
desk. It was a list, by name,
description, cost and number of
people involved, of every OFY
project in Ontario.

October completion
for Nass River bridge

Construction of the first
vehicular bridge across the
Nass River is well advanced
and completion is expected by
late October. It is being built by
the Egineering Division of the
British Columbia Forest Ser-
vice,

The bridge will close the final
Zap between the Northern
Trans-provincial Highway
linking Prince Rupert and
Prince George, and the Stewart-
Cassiar Road which, when
finished in late '72, will join
Stewart ati the head of Portland
Canal with Watson Lake on the
Alaska Highway.

TheNass River gorge is almost
400 feet wide at the selected
crossing site near Meziadin
Lake and the bridge decking
will be nearly 130 feet above the
river bed, The main span is to
be 186 feet in length,

Several designs requiring
steel components were con-
sidered but the most
economical and | practical
proved to be a composite wood-
steel. structure in which
laminated wooden girders take

the main stress, It was designed
by Gower, Yeung and
Associates, consulting
engineers, of New Westminster,

The 80 to 93 foot Douglas fir
girders have been fabricated by
Coast ‘Laminated Timbers
Limited of Rithmond and
pressure creosoted by TPL
Industries Limited of Burnaby.
The shorter components have
already been delivered by truck
to the eastern side of the bridge

“giteand are now being installed.

Although the bridge is in-
tended primarily to provide
access to undeveloped regions
and to enable the Forest Service
to conduct its forest protection
and management tasks. more
readily throughout | the
surrounding area, it will be
open to the travelling public at

' specified times. Limitations

will be necessary because most
of the roads leading to the
bridge from thesouth have been
built and are maintained by
Columbia Cellulose Co, Ltd.,
whose trucks use the roads to
haul logs from the forests.
