Nearly Nine Million Are Eligible Voters

OTTAWA (CF)-The list of Can- ada's eligible voters for the June lil election-estimated tentatively at a 1' 0rd of between 8,900,000 and 9, .000 persons--now is vir- tually complete.

The doorbell ringing is over for the army of 70.000 enuineratora who gathered the names. lists have been printed and revi-

sions ln urban areas made under supervision of local judges to

make corrections. add names of voters missed and deal with any challenges of names included.

in urban areas those who couldn't prove their eligibility won't be able to vote. Their last opportunity to get their names on the list was in the three-day re- vision period ending May 25. RURAL REVISION

But in rural districts. where en- umerstors do their own revising. anyone left off the list can get a vote by taking an oath as to his i.iiali'icationi. and by having a qualified listed voter vouch for him by oath.

in gathering the names the en- uh:--rotors were guided by the eligibility clauses ol the Canada Elections Act. This stipulates that a voter must be 21 years of age by polling day. be a Canadian or a British sublect resident in Can- ada for the year immediately pre- coding the election date.

The age qualification doesn't apply to armed services personnel on active duty in Canada or abroad. And it differs somewhat from age qualifications for some provincial elections. In Brltllh Co- lumbia and Alberta the ioiisl pro- vincial voting site is lo and in Saskatchewan i'l. But for federal -lcctlon purposes voters other

No Towns Are Across T. C. H.I On The Saskatchewan Section

By RUSSELL ELMAN Canadian Prela Staff Writer CARBERRY. Man. tCPl-in the rolilng farm and bush country of southwestern Manitoba. the pave- ment of the new Trans - Canada highway vanishes into a minia-

ture Sahara desert.

A trap for the unwary mom-t lot. the Carbeny sandhtlls. mid- way between Brandon and Po!- tage la Prairie, are among the last obstacles in construction of the prairie leg of the all-Canadian coast-to-coast route.

This summer work is proceed- ing rapidly on the new road at many points in Manitoba. while neighboring Saskatchewan nlana to become the first province to complete its portion.

ONLY A MEMORY '

The dustry prairie trail of the son is already a memory as traf- flsl clips along at 60 miles - an - ho r for long stretches on tha wide. smooth - surfaced highway. which paraellels the CPR main line for 650 miles from the Al- berta - Sank tchewan border to Winnipeg.

In Saskatchewan few rougn spots remain. Paving of new by- passes around Moose Jaw and Ito gina is well under way and the busy four-lane 44-mile section be- tween the two cities should be completed shortly. The provincial highways department also is con- sidering building a limited access expressway east of Regina - but not definite plans have been set.

Along with the by - passes. a crop of new service stations. mo- tels, drive - in thaatns nad res- taurants have emerged on the motorists will be able to dL"lVl' right across Saskatchewan with- out going through a single town.

in Manitoba a fast. easy road runs from the Saskatchewan hob der, misses the oil centre of Vir- den. and comes to a sudden halt at a big pothole in a railroad sub- wdy at Kemnay. 10 miles west of Brandon. Traffic then returns to

Lumber Market Seems Brighter

A probable recovery from the decline in lumber exports which began in the latter part of 1956. is seen by Foreign Trade, publica- tion of the department of trade and commerce

For 1957, says Foreign Trade. to- tal lumber exports are expeited to be somewhat below those of 1956.

”However." it adds. ”If United States credit restrictions are re- laxed appreciably during the year. the pace of home construction could be stepped up in that mar-

East of Brandon, engineers are eu-ving a short cut through the sandhllls. but motorists still fol- low the old No. 1 highway. which winds through the towns of Car- berry and Melbourne. But many a driver has ignored the warning de- tour signs and has had to be res- cued by horse and team after bogging down in the sand dunes
