Obviously both the teacher and the parent. have the welfare of children as their ultimate objective. Therefore, there must be discussion. exchange of opinions, and co-operative action based on mutual understanding and sympathy if we hope to have Education Week gain its objective. Whatever sort of program is planned, the one thing that must be borne in mind is that the main purpose of the operation is not for show, nor for entertainment only, but to awaken a greater educa- tional interest in the public mind, Plan a program that will arouse public interest and stimulate the parents to do more and demand more for education. Let. us try to make this Educa- tion Week the most productive ever.

Silvery drip-Refers to the sound as well as to the colour, of the drops of water, as they fall on the surface of the stream. ' Crystal deep of the silence. "Deep" here is a. noun, "crystal" an adjective; the expression means simply "the deep unbroken silence." Crystal is transferred from air and water to the silence. Shear away.

They live in shal- low streams, or sloughs, where they feed on small fish and roots of marsh herbs and grasses. They are said to be especially fond of the roots of the sweet flag. One inch of rain on one square rnlle of land is equal to about seventeen million gallons. The solar system can conti.rrue to exist as a. family only through the force of gravity.

Peanuts are better for the coil than cotton because they grow on their roots bacteria which add nit- rogen to the soil. Each crop of peanuts thus acts as a fertilizer for the soil. Unfortunately you can't eat soil, and people were tired of eating peanuts. Carver, however. did not lose his faith in the pea- nut. He studied it in the chemical laboratory. He took it apart. He put it together in new ways. We now have butter, flour, soap. shav- ing lotion, breakfast food, cosmet- ics, high-protein cattle rations, salad oils, wood stains, dyes, and many other useful products-all derived from the peanut. 7-1 the democratic school the child must be given an enormous amount of practice in thinking for himself. our schools are what we make them.

Every policeman has to use ishould be so placed that they will clearly express the meaning in- tended, hence should be placed next to the word or words that they modify. Never put between a. word and its modifiers anything that can steal the modification. Thus, in the sentence, "I should like to see you very much", very much is so placed that it modifies to see. whereas it should be so placed as to modify should like; thus, "I should like very much to sec you." 1. When an adverb modihes the meaning of an intransitive verb, it should generally follow the verb; as "They walked slowly." In May 1952, the government approved a bill giving the Canad- ian National Railways the author- ity tolbegin lmmer.r.-.e construc- tion of a. Terrace-Kitimat line (40 miles long). when this line is com- pleted in 1954. it will not terminate at a little village but will service a new city and a huge plant which will ultimately be the world's largest aluminum smelter. When this line was first survey- ed in 1908, aluminum was still a relatively unknown metal. For it was only in the year 1886 that Charles Martin Hall, a young sci. entist working in the woodshed back of his Oberlin, Ohio home, finally solved the chemical puzzle that removed aluminum from the precious metal category. Scientists had long known that the earth had locked in her bosom great quanti- ties of the light, strong corr;osion- resistant metal. The problem had been to extract it on a commer- cially feasible basis. Even at the turn of the century the early aluminum pioneers were trying in vain to sell the metal at one dollar a pound. A gamble was taken that if enough hydro-electric power could be obtained for eluc- tro-uetallurgical 1-lall prtkess thr- price could be lowered enough to I need a man.

(his, their) judgment in dealing POSITION OF THE ADVERB Adverbs. like other modifiers, 2. when an advesb modifies the meaning of a transitive verb, it generally precedes the verb be- cause the object follows it, al- though in short sentences the ad- verb may follow the verb as, "He willingly gave her all the apples for which she asked. ”He wrote the letter carefully." 3. When an adverb modifies the meaning of a verb phrase in the active voice, it follows the first auxiliary; but when it modifies the meaning of a verb phrase in the passive voice, it immediately pre- cedes ihe principal verb; as, "1-lc will surely have foTgotten it by that time." "The matter can be easily adjusted." KITIMAT other materials. The Hall process requires great amounts of electrical power. First at Niagara Falls, then at Showin- igan Falls on the Maurice River the aluminum izakers found the power they needed. Then the Sag- uensy River was the magnet that draw them into Northern Quebec and led to the construction at Ar- vidn of the world's largest single aluminum smelter. a city which now has 12,000 inhabitants, and the chain of powerhouses that comprise the mighty Saguenay hydro-electric system. Now the Aluminum Company of Canada is preparing to produce aluminum on Canada's west coast. Because the decision was made to proceed with this truly fabulous engineering project the Terrace- Kitlmat line will finally become a reality. The aluminum industry is constantly edging toward the far fringes of civilization due to its reliance on almos. unbelievable quantities of electrical power. 111 the wilds of British Columbia en- gineers have evolved a plan which will -harness previously wasting waters and develop this power po- tential for the large scale produc- tion of aluminum.

C.. was of the aluminum industry's con- tinuing world-wide search for low cost power, invited Alcan, as the Aluminum Company of Canada is known, to survey sites in the West- ern Province in 1947. By late spring of 1948 the first small group of Mean engineers flew into the interior over the rugged mountain peaks, majestic glaciers and deep valleys. Their objective was a. prelimin- ary examination of we prospective drainage areas within .xreM:h. of tide water, for use of hydro-eleo- tric power sites. Bothwere located in the vast expanse of rugged ter- rain north of Vancouver. The first, known as the Chiloo area. was abandoned after a preliminary sur- vey, largely because of its import.- ance to the sockeye salmon indus- try. In the Twe -' is Park area about 350 miles north of Vancou- ver, prospects were brighter. Here engineers found what they were looking for; within a 50-mile area there was water enough to turn the generators, a long drop to a powerhouse location and a site at tide water where a plant and town could be built. Looking for the first time upon ,j:m selected iswollvu damrsrin; the pre- sently wuting waters of the Na- ehnko River Bystem, which flows north eutwud to the Fraser Riv- er. thereby raising the elevation of the tributary lake: to the west- wu-d'and fanning I large reser- voir of water. i This dam will force the water to backtrack until it comes against mountains where 9. 10 mile long tunnel is being blasted through solid rock. The water will then tumble down 2,600 feet through shaft: in the rock to generators in a. powerhouse to be constructed within the mountain itself. A t:...rsmissicn line will carry the electrical energy generated here overland to the smelter at Kitimat 50 miles distant. The dam on the Nechako River, a massive structure of rock about 300 feet high, will be sealed by a blanket of closely compacted soil. The base of the dam will occupy a space' of i3 hundred feet along the bottom of the river. . One of the aspects of develop- ment which has fascinated both engineers and non-engineers throughout the world is the locat- ion of the turbines within a cav- ern hewn from srlid rock. This arrangement of the very high pres- sure pipes leading to the t-urhiucs more feasible. The new railway will run through extremely difficult terrain. Terrace is on the present C.N.R.

The line will l.llCll continue across flats and up to the valley of the Lari-;clsc River. It will follow the Lakclse to height of land.
