NEW TOWN TRANSFORMS MILITARY APPEARANCE OF GANDER AIRPORT

GARDNER, Nlld.. (CP)-Near this 1...; international airport an ultra- iiodcrn town is springing up where wartime scrviccmcn A 'iew years ;.;o hunted moose and caribou in dense bush.

Gander airport is iinaliy shaking off its military look. Long barracks which housed Canadian, American and British alrmcn during the war still shelter most of the 4.700 pcople who directly or indirectly derive their living from 62 trans- ntlantlc aircraft stopovers daily. But one by one families are mov- ing to the modern townsite, being built five miles from the airport by the department or transport and Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

winding streets have been buil- iosed through the practically level iorest land, and water mains and sewerage pipes are available to no building lots. Fire plugs, many iblll hidden by trees, pop up all

hrough the area. Already 130 houses have been completed by Central Mortgage, which rents hem to transport department em- iloyees, and another 65 are being iuilt by private contractors. With- iii a raw years between 700 and 1,000 houses are expected to be -4-ady.

SYSTEMATIC PLANNING

Although some work was carried out in l952. the program actually started late last year when the department and Central Mortgage Look over the development arc. with systematic planning. They are hoping for more private con- itructioh by individuals and air- lines. All buildings must be up to (lie standards of the National Housing Act.

The airport still has much the :.-uiie appearance as it did during the war, apart from its gradual growth. Barrack buildings serve as motels, stores. churches and houses. As the new town springs up, these buildings will be torn down. Per- riianent structures will all be built in the new Elizabeth drive.

YEW SCHOOLS. CHURCHES

The federal government will as- :ist the provincial governnicnt in FSLADIISHDICDO of new schools. Money has already been raised for the construction of three new churches.

When the town is minplctrd it ulll probably be incorporated to run its own aifairs. In the mean- time the transport departhiciit which owns the area looks after all services. including writcr, sewer- age; lights and streets. A paving program will start early next year.

The new town is two miles from the nearest runway and five miles from the main terminal. On the other side is the trans-Canada highway. Officials say there is room for 5,000 houses in the mug area without a change in plans.
