EKitimat Takes Shape t A NYONE who has visited Kitimat lately can yf begin to see ahead to the final appearance of this new northern city. Already the smelter with its rows of aluminum-sheathed buildings is taking definite shape, and across the Douglas channel one 'can visualize the power lines that will sweep down "the cleared slope and span the water to the plant. Six miles inland the townsite is still nothing "more than a vast clearance in the wilderness, but ."even this is enough to give one an idea of what the "first neighborhood at least will look like. It is more "difficult to realize that possibly four or five more "neighborhoods of equal size will appear in that 'broad valley. The visitor's imagination also wavers Twlien he tries to picture the modern and spacious -shopping district which will be created in the special area set aside in the middle of the woods. . Yet much of this miracle will take place within ;the coming year. It seems that the time has come iwhen the action is almost quicker than the thought. Perhaps the simplest way to understand what "might happen at Kitimat is to consider the case of jjthe Saguenay valley of Quebec where the Aluminum Go. of Canada started a similar project 25 "years ago. At that time the population of the region was about 20,000. Now 150,000 persons live ;there, and the district is alive with many industries ; besides that of aluminum production. Z Although no one is prepared to say just how 'much other business Alcan will attract to Kitimat, the conjectures which anticipate a population of ;50,000 seem altogether within reason. Our guess is ;that by the time our children's children are running things, the figure will be considerably more than that. But the growth will not be localized in Kitimat. Establishment of Alcan in the area was just a particularly noticeable feature of a march to the north-Iwest that was already underway. Although we wish 5ve could be around to see what eventually develops, it. must be admitted the present carries plenty of "interest in its own right.
