Such a plan was provided by the Kinsmen Club, and to that group must go special credit fer a Hal lowe’en that will go on the records as safe, sane and a lot of fun. Thanks must also go to the police for their protective watch on activities. Although their pres- ence was felt sufficiently to check any ill-advised \otions, their duties were carried out in such a way the buoyancy of the evening was in no way dampened. By being ready in foree to handle any alarm, the fire department also made its valuable contribution to the security of the city. For all those who helped; the’ success of the evening must be an agreeable reward. Our Future Underground HE UNITED STATES should take a lesson from Canada in promoting mining development, ac- cording to the Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle which observes that this country is bringing baek mining as an important part of its economy, “Not only do the Canadians provide grubstake money, a premium price for gold produced in new mines and some tax concessions, but there are in most of the provinces additional benefits,” the paper remarks, “Free classes in geology and prospecting are offered. In Saskatchewan they are shown how to use technical equipment so they can look for uranium. They are flown free of charge to the prospecting areas. The province loans them tents, canoes and maps. At 30-day intervals a government plane flies in supplies and pieks up ore samples for assaying.” There is every reason that Canada should do its utmost to attract exploration of its mineral re- sources. In a very literal sense, its future lies under- ground and its mining prospects are, perhaps more than any other single factor, the cause of its present rapid development. Due to the encouragement. being offered to prospectors, 2000 new claims were staked last year. This year the figure is expected to reach 3000. If its manufacturing processes and its popula- hat tion can catch up to its output of raw material, Canada will be well on its way to an economy which could be the wonder of the 20th century. As | See It Picks Stevenson A WIT once wrote that a columnist gets paid for explaining to readers why things did not turn out the way he said they would last week. Sir John A.
