Barring such factors as inclem- ent weather etc., the Provincial Government plans to pave an add ltional 23 miles of the ferry to 1911'! Trans-Canada Highway this year. This along with the approx- imate 44 miles that has already been completed will leave only a short distance of about four of five miles to be done the following year.

The outlay for last year's con- struction activities of the super Illilway was 3750.000. with a planned outlay of one and one- half millions for the present year.

The road route has been the subject of many discussions by re- sidents of the areas affected, as

After a number of experi- ences with ltsu and Beautiful they finally come to the conclusion they are beginning to lose their grip and want to get out quickly. 0! Neils Hansen and Roger Gsrohum. the adjudicator said they were delightful characters each with his distinct personality. The comedy came through good and their facial expressions were delightful. The part of ltsu was small but important and her por- trayal of the character was good. but her make-up was poor. Of Beautiful, he said she was a domesticated blonde and needed more oomph. About the play he said it was an interesting script, the technique good with modern approach. The play came through well and the set. was good al- though the lights could be im- proved and more care should be taken with the sound effects, The costuming was effective and the movement pattern good.

SECOND PLAY

The second play produced also by the Little Theatre Guild was "When Altar: Burn" by Kay Arthur and directed by Arthur MacLcnn. The cast consisted of Debby Pletch (Nan); Elinor MacDonald (Cynthia); Irene Mac- Innis (Kilti and Margaret Col- llngs (A great grandmother). The play opens with the great grand- mother lylng in bed while the mother (Cynthia) sits watching the frail old lady slowly dying. The story is built around the great grandmother's desire to own a blue sntln puff. Mother buys the puff and the old lady ral- lies momentarily, realizes her wish has been granted and then dies happily.

The adjudicator remarked the music was well chosen but he had a strong feeling against music for plays. The set needed more atmosphere to identify it. Partsof the direction and grouping in some places were poor. He did not like the reaction of tho nudi- ence it should havo been more serious.

The third play to be adjudic- nted was entitled "End of a Fairy Tale" by Violet Butter and direct- ed by Elizabeth Willctt. It was presented by the Good Compan- ion Plnyors. with a cast consist- ing of Ken Coldwell (Jacob Grimm): Vsrnc Sommers (Wil- liam Grimm); Noreen Show (Gertrude) and Betty MncMaous (Inuisn).

The play depicts the disappro- val of the aunt (Gertrude) of the others” liking for books and thinks they should marry. The aunt has picked the bride for either Jacob or William and the groom is pick- ed by drawing lots. William of- fers to show Jacob, tho loser. how it is done and ends up falling in

himself.

The adjudicator said this play was not to be trcntcdrcalistically and n more whimsical tone was

B.C. Tumingi To Orient For Future Markets

VANCOUVER (CP) - British Columbia businessmen are being encouraged to look to the Orient for future markets.

Premier Bennett, at the annual conference of the Pacific North- west Trade Association in Victoria recently. urged "a more realistic approach" to trade with Asia.

In Vancouver, Thomas Fletcher. Canada's trade commissioner in Hohg Kong for the last sevm years, said this country's bes prospects rest in the British col my and the Chinese mainland.

Premier Bennett said the logi- cal. underdeveloped market for B.C. and the northwest United States was Southeast Asia. the Philippines. China. Japan and Si- beria. He said the province has done no business at all with Soviet Siberia since 1947.

"This vast area of Asia has a population in excess of 000,000,000 people. It now is in the process of lndsutrialization which will un- doubtedly create demands for cap- ital goods and raw materials on an unprecedented scale."

"I am stressing this question be- cause our geographic position gives us a tremendous advantage in for eastern trade and we should make the most of it."

Marshall Johnson, head of East- West Export-Import Co. of Van- couver. is spending six weeks in Red China promoting trade with Canada. He represents nine com- panics including Canadian General Electric Co.. John Inglis. and Bur- rnrd Drydock Ltd.
