Gladiolus Club held their annual meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Pigeon. Seven new directors were also named. Mrs. T. Bishop, Mrs. G. Renner, Mi K. Rife, Harold Richardson, Ray Hargreaves and Joe Walsh. The members heard letters from Mr. J. H. D. Tucker, one of the judges at the Regional Glad Show held in conjunction with this year’s Fall Fair, and Mr. Giant Wilson, well known president of the Vancouver Gladiolus Society. All the comments from the judges have been in the form of high praise for the exception- al quality of the glads in both color and size. The members also received well deserved praise for the- high quality of the show. Mr, Tucker re- ported that “the Williams Lake shaw was as good or better than the coast shows.” All the shows he attended through- (continued on back page) The futuristically designed 1955 Chevrolet, offering for the first time, a high-output 162 horsepower V8 engine as well as a more power- ful six cylinder “Blue Flame” economy-leader, was announced across Canada today.

Northern Extension Announced By Premier VICTORIA—Tenders -will of the PGE railway: extension be called on the first 65 miles from Prince George into the Peace — probaby in January — so that work can start in the spring, Premier Bennett annou need Tuesday. The decision was meached at a PGE directors’ meeting Monday. Cost is estimated at $10,000,000, including a bridge across the Fraser River? The route will wind east of Prince George and along the westerly side of the Fraser. No decision has yet been made, said the Premier, on whether the road will cross the Rockies via the Peace or Pine pass. STUDIES CONTINUE : Engineers will continue their studies on this question because a decision does not need to be made until the line is extended to Mile 110 north of Prince George. Contracts will be awarded to carry the railway to that point by -midsum- mer next year. Premier Bennett made his an- nouncement with obvious satisfac- tion, calling it the fulfilment of a dream of 40 years. It was quite possible, he said, that the line will be running. into the Peace by 1958, two years ahead of schedule.

The tenders are for construction of bridges and road bed. The route being taken, said Mr. Bennett, will open a rich new area of virgin tim- ber. The 65-mile extension in the firsr contract, he said, will open timber resources greater than the similar 65 miles south of Prince George — an ideal area for sawmills and pulp mills. There is virtually no settlement in the area now, but the Premier pre- dicted the rail line would bring ra- pid development. Almost all the land involved is crown land. Asked if the had given up hope of federal financial aid,’ the Premier replied: ‘“‘No, we never give up hope. We will soon be the Federal Govern- ment.” GREATET ASSET The Premier reported the PGE continues to show increased traffic and that it will show a substantial operating surplus — the first in its history. “The PGE,” he said, ‘is growing from-a white elephant into B.C.’s greatest asset.” Laying of 50 miles of new rails on the present right-of-way at a cost of $1,400,000 was nearly completed this year, the Premier reported.
