THE WILLIAMS LAKE TRIBU Pt ae as Test Pilot Honored NE= = =a SECOND FRONT Williams Lake, B.C., Wednesday May 6, 1959 SECOND FRONT Bible Society branch formed at 100 Mile History was made at 100 Mile House last Wednesday night when for the first time a branch of the British ana Foreign Bible Society was formed in thai com- munity, by the provincial secre- tary, Rey. J. a. Raymond Ting- ley, Vancouver. It is indeea significant, dec- Jared Mr. Tingley, that here at this historic stopping place on the old an organization to help send the Bible out through’ British Columbia and to Places of the world. The secre- tary stated that for 155 years the Bible Society has-been snp- plying the world with Scriptures at the rate of 11,000 per day, 855 languages at a price which the poorest of people can pay. Never has the need for the Bible been as great as it is today, said Mr. Tingley, as he told of the unprecedented demand which the Society is unable to meet due to lack of funds. He stated that the Bible Society Provided Scriptures to the pioneers who came up the: Cariboo Trail 100 years ago in search of goid, and has continued to supply thein in increasing numbers to the people of British Columbia through its Bible House in Vancouver and with the aid of its two colpor- teurs, who travel continually through the more isolated parts of the province, making the Next Stecher, left, and appear in William acs PIANO TEAM COMING concert of the Cariboo Overture series will feature the outstanding piano playing of Melvin Norman Horowitz.

Eirst reading was given at the village commis- Sion meeting last week to a by-law designed “ to regulate the conduct of persons and to provide fire regulations within the village of Williams Lake with respect to the protection of persons and property.” In summary, the by-law en- acts that: 1—Owners or occupiers of churches, theatres, halls, skat- shal may issue permits for ou! door fires but persons allowin such fires to get out of hand t to adopt microwave communication system Jan Zuracov.ski, former test ing rinks and other places of amusement must prevent persons standing, loitering or sitting in aisles, passages or stairways. quired to remove anything from @ building or yard which, in the 2—Property owners are re-|. such an extent that fire depar' ment personnel are ‘require¢ will be liable to a charge o $25.00. 6—No person may start a fir within the village boundarie without having first obtained : The Pacific Great Eastern Railway Monday be- came the first line in the world to adopt microwave telephone and teletype communication for its entire system. This includes train dispatching, transmis- sion of records, railway service and commercial tele- grams. Premier W. A. C. Bennett, president of the PGE, opened the new microwave operation at the Vancouver offices of the line by sending out the firist oficial and laying of track in the area north of Prince George. Accordingly, a start was made with the installation of micro- wave equipment early in 1956. message With the completion of the V; The premier stated that “the | ouveroimen link the ae microwave system will be an- pe eta al wave system now covers the en- tire railroad from Vancouver to Fort St. John—a distance of 790 miles. other service for the PGE to add to its impressive record of assist- ance for the newly-developing areas of British Columbia.” ‘|It is another first for this fast-growing railroad,” he said. “The PGE entered the tront ranks of rail moderization when it led all other North American lines in becoming 100 percent diesel-serviced. It has added other facilities that have since been copied and now it is proud to present its patrons with the fastest message delivery device science can provide.” The microwave dispatching office was built in the Vancouver headquarters, the nerve centre of the railway, where traffic, trans- Portation, operation and engin- eering departments are located. With the new system in opera- tion, an official in Vancouver has only to lift a telephone receiver to speak to the conductor on a train speeding between Quesnel and Prince George, or question an agent in Dawson Creek. Repair teams will no longer have to fight through blizzards to fix lines. Duplicate equip- ment takes over instantly and at the same time, electronic de- tectors immediately record any defect in the microwave equip- ment.

Next to the lowest bid was accepted at a cost of $7,872.90 from Walkem, Mach- inery.
