wzbmasptm "" Says Road Requirements Canada's Major by Forbes Rhuclo Canadian Press Buslneu Editor VANCOUVIIR. (OP) - Canada needs roads faster than she is bulking them. John N. Flood of sum John, N.B., president of the Canadian Construction Associa- istion, said yesterday. Deupite the relatively large road programs carried out in recent years, economic development has been so rapid that the increase in volume and speed of highway traf- flo is causing a steadily-growing backlog of road requirenients. Addressing the annual meeting If the OCA, Mr. Flood said, how- wer, that the nix-cls are receiv- ing grcatar recognition "and the considerable progress in the con- struction of the trans-Canada highway is especially gratifying." Stating that the long-term pros- pocui for construction are for in- creasing volume, Mr. Flood said the board base of Gaiiadas de- velopment is steadily spreading. "Newfoundland is experiencing an industrial Rcnnisiance. The rich industrial potential of Cape Breton is being enhanced by con- mructlon of a major causeway Joining the island with the main- land.

Plans To Wed Doris Duitc0ff PARIS, (AP) - Any plans that French night club singer Char- les Trent-it had for marrying Doris Duke, one of the ll0lAuS richest women, are definitely off. Tran- et's agent, William L. Taub, made the announcement Saturday. Trenst, now singing in New York, caused a flutter in cafe society last week when he said he was going to marry the tobacco heiress, former wife of Porfirio 'Rubirosa. Trcnet was then haken by re- ports from Geneva, Switzerland, in which Miss Duke said she could not recall having met the singer.

"Oh, shut up about my drivlngi Men always act so superior; and yet men have sixty-five per cent of all the accidents. I saw it in the paper." "They have wrecks because they're dodging the women. Never mind me. You drive all right. I'm just low in my mind because I've got to start along tomorrow." "You will not! Not if we've got oil. You'll have to stay - to keep Dad from being swindled." ”I'd look swell giving him advice. wouldn't. I? A guy with no Job. who doesn't even own a decent suit of clothes." "What's the matter with that suit? It looks all right to me." "It's two years old. that's what's the matter. Look at the cut of the coat." "I can't see that it looks funny. Now don't. say a uord," she warn- ed. as they whirled through the gate and around the drive, mis- sing the windmill by the thick- ness of ii. coat of paint. "Gary, could you draw a sketch of that map? You could, couldn't. you? Then we'll have something to show Dad He lia::i't very much imagin- ation. You have to draw pictures for him." "I guess I could. I could got it dour. in a rough way." "You go up and do that right away, before dinner. And I'll fix up some way to introduce the sub- ject. I can be clever, even if you wouldnit. believe it." "I never said you weren't clov- er.' "You implied it anyway. You - and your remarks about old white l'D(lS'.Cl”o'i People who love their old wlizie roosters should keep them off the highway. He was tough. anyway. I could tell the Way he bumped." Later, when she had time to think about it, Mons Lee Mason remembered the look on Harvey's face when Adelaide said abruptly. "Now, Gary - now let's tell them!" For a minute Harvey's face darkened. Gary was a nice boy, btit they had had fine plans for AdPifllfiB which did not include at niari'i:itze to any young oil man out of ii. Job. That. was in Harvey's face at. first. And then, when Gary spread out the sheet of paper with the rough sketch he had drawn on the table, Harvey's face chaiizcd again. ''What's all this?” he asked gruf- fly, lilo briisqticvness a. little tinged with relief. Adelaide drew a deep breath and was tense and her eyes snapped spa-sks. "Oil!" she announced dra- iiiaticaily. "Oil on our land! Gary thinks maybe heis found oil!" it was then that Harvey be- came a stranger to Mona Lee. He hitched his chair forward quickly nzi snatched at the paper. his eyes nai'i'o'.ving and beginning to burn. He said, "What's this picture?" and his voice was hoarse and strange. Gary caught the tension, and looked across at Mona Lee with eyes that were a little sorry. "It's a much idea of the geo- logical structure under this much, sir," he said. "I looked it up to- day on an old map that Hugliey Fothcrgill owns - after I'd found what I thought were surface in- dications tip there in that gulch above the positive." Even Mona Lee was caught up in the swift, taut excibemenii. "Oli7 On this place?" "I donii know," Gary said, fggl. imf a little numbed, as if he had turned loose a liiirricanc in this quiet house; as if he had let go forces he would never be able to tame attain, recapture again. "This map shows a pmmising structure, that's all." He went over it all then, manking out lines with a pencil on the sketch. "Wlmt you're getting at is that this land is the kind of land they find oil under?" Harvey put in. "That's what all this scientific atulf mantis?" "It means that this land is the kind that oil might be found un- dar," Gary qualified, definitely. "I'm not making any statemenu - I'm not experienced enough to do that." "He found some rock - sulphur or something." Adelaide was breath- less. "But he says you'd have to hire a geoglogist or somebody.. anyway. a man who knows about that stuff. Isn't that what you said, Gary?" "1 said that only a oompenmi, geophysricist could give you nu. aible advice. They have the may. ledge and the instruments - I'm Just a beginner. I've studied the stuff but never had an oppurtun. ity to work at it." "where is this place?" Harvey demanded. "Well go there, Dad. first thing in the morning. Oh. Mother.
