If a pedestrian crosses the road in a place other than a crosswalk, he must yield the right-of-way to the driver. . . Tt takes a car travelling at 25 miles per hour about 35 feet to stop which means that 2 ear should be about 50 feet or farther away before a pedes- trian steps into a crosswalk. Also, a driver should stop if a pe- destrian is well into the crosswalk at any time. Violations of the law could bring about 2 fine of anywhere from $10 to $500. | " We'd like to see the police launch - a thorough campaign to hand out tick-. ets to every person who breaks these laws.

Tne Theo KART Pa wl ME IALECEADD Stories of the Red Rose and the Western Uranium Mines will someday be part of the folklore. of the Skeena Val- ley. These mines can be reach- ed by a twelve mile twisting, narrow road from Skeena Crossing on Highway 16. Many are the incredible stories told about the operation life in the | two communities at timberline and the peopie who lived and worked there. IT am leaving _ these stories to Bill Bryant, Smithers: Mrs. Wendel O’- Boyle, Terrace and Tim Willis of Kitimat, who lived there. This story deals with a trip into the mines last August and a desire to return again. I had made arrangements with Mrs. George Bowie of Skeena Crossing to rent a jeep and driver to go into the mines, but on arriving there on a Friday night, I received the sad news that our driver was off fighting forest fires. Mrs. Bowie, however, contact- ed: Mrs. Jack ‘Connolly of South Hazelton, who agreed to drive us in on Saturday morn- ing and pick us up on Sunday afternoon. ., At9 p.m. the other members the honor of being spotlighted, . of our expedition arrived from Kitimat, Mr. and Mrs. Einar Blix and John Pousette. After DOES HITLER’S DEPUTY LIVE? Mystery remains ‘unsolved A Canadian writer special- izing in European affairs tells of new reports that feed the rumor that the number two Nazi still lives. By FRANK HAARHOFF Toronto Telegram News Service Martin Bormann, one of the fop men in the former Nazi hierarchy, sentenced to death in absentia as a war criminal by the Nuremberg Tribunel, is alive. That's what a former Spanish diplomat claims in a book now published, This report gives new nour- shment to speculation and vrumors thal have sprung up time and again ever since May 1, 1946. On that day, 24 hours after the Fuehrer had shot’ himself, his deputy and purty secretary, Bormann, to- gether with -a few hundred survivers of Titler’s @ntour- are, seb ont from the New Chancellery bunker to break through the Russian lines, We reportedly planned — to join Grand Admiral Doenitz In his headquarters ont the amall town of Ploen, di northern Germany. “1 will join you ts soon is possible,” he bad wired him, C2 of fe Rormann never showed wp.

Bormann’s wife Gerda died in 1946.) bb y But despite Bormann's offi- celal death, many people con- tinued to believe that he was still alive. In January, 1959, reports had it that he had been seen in Stockholm, where he had undergone plastic sur- gery to change his appearance, Shortly afterwards the San- tiago, Chile, newspaper hal Mercurio carried a report say- ing that a former German member of parliament had de- tected Bormann in a jungle village, and that he was being aided by a Chile Nazi organia- ation.

Mrs. Connolly arrived promptly at seven and we quickly loaded all our equip- ment in her red jeep and were off. At one time the road was in good shape but now it was pretty rough. Mrs. Connolly had lived for a number of years at both mines and told us stories of life in the mining camps of the Western Uran- ium and Red Rose, and the trips she made in her “Yellow Jeep.” Mrs. Connolly, Ihasten to add, although 4 grand- mother for some years, was an expert jeep driver. At times we crawled along, once we built up a section of the road across a small washout and several times we took to the creek pottom. It was a good invest- ment in not attempting it in our own cars. The road followed a creek past the site of the old power house, two miles from Skeena Crossing and the flume that brought water down to it. We climbed steadily up Hoo- doo Hill and turned left at the forks to the Western Ur- anium, the other road ends at the Red Rose camp. We even- tually reached our destination at an elevation of 4,200 feel. Many of the houses along the steep road still stood al- though stripped in many cases of doors, windows and usable plywood. The main mine build- ing still stood and steel halls of the ball machine and mis- cellaneous bags of chemicals were strewn around the dilap- itated structure, We spent an hour looking, through all the houses, school and main mine buildings. The Blix’s who were planning wo return in the winter to ski pegan to fix one up. This house was in fairly good shape and it also had a stove and table. The valley is very narrow und the mountain slopes hem the camp in on three sides, The old mine workings are at the §,800-foot level and are reach- ed hy a 46 degree wnele tram line. The ties were In good Ry STAN kOUGH condition and and I decided to go to the mine and to continue on up to the top of that particular section and of the Rocher de Boule Range. It was like climbing a ladder and after many stops we reached the portal of the mine. Years before the mine, un- der the name of Skeena View, had been worked and the high prade ore was transported on a narrow gauge railway around the mountain and taken to the valley below by an aerial tramway. These buildings can pe seen from Highway 16. The view from this section was magnificent as you could look down into a number of valleys and north to the mountain ranges and their glaciers. We saw a number of lakes and occasional glimpses of the twisting Skeena. It was like being up in a plane, and as walking was good, we roamed along the mountain tops tak- ing pictures and occasionally rolling boulders down the slopes, following their flight unti] they were lost among the trees far below. We had lunch and as- the clouds were closing in we de- cided to go down. To aid us in our descent we drove two spikes through a piece of board in such a manner that they fitted on the outside of the rails, descending to the valley below. Then sitting on our boards, we walked the ties down, occasionally lifting our board seat over an obstruction, such as a large spike or 4 tree growing up between the ties. We reached the mine camp in considerably less time than it took to climb the mountain. Our cabin was snug and warm, and after drying our wet clothes behind the stove we had a hot supper and turned in. We must have killed off all the pack rats, as we slept soundly after our: strenuous day, This summer we are 0- ing to return and spend more Lime exploring the ridges and penks of the majestic Rocher de Boule, peat tn epecac tet 418 ONO AAALAC AO GO KA Lighter side “Tin a bit worrled about my wife,” sald) Blunt. “Bhe was talking in her sleep and siy- ing, ‘No, Frank; no Frank." “Well, what are you worried about?” demanded his friend, “athe said ‘no, didn't she?” wer arate WOK Bannerer eorseyen i . aye SKIES ABOVE APE agree daedte GAAS EE SAINI LE Deicidog react tg OOOO GiFAR PO Dea bes tae ap ag ASAP AA ate OS AS RUA DARE be AREAS Ma DEA EET DAHA eel (EF) S g0 N Wer] QF_GE : ONO M Cb sTRLigtlagetli eta RE LEGIT esses aes WA etd gsa incre Pdigase etd eM 3 ) | wisn eddadire ters Heaton Me) Fad 1d! awyer John .
