Canadian Aluminum Output Boosted
Capacity of big aluminum
smelter at Kitimat, British Col*
umbia, shown here, is to be
more than doubled to meet
rising U.S. and world demand.
Owned by Aluminium Limited
group of companies, smelter
ships primary metal by rail car
and freighter (inset), loading
ingot at Kitimat harbor._
Located on Pacific coast 400
miles north of Vancouver, B.C.,
Kitimat smelter and hydroelec
tric plant 50 miles away at
Kemano, B.C., make up one of
biggest privately financed engi
neering projects in history.
Abundant water from a dammed
up chain of lakes races through
a ten-mile tunnel, drops 2,600
feet into Kemano powerhouse,
built inside a mountain, and elec
tric power is sent over mountains
to Kitimat. High annual rainfall
rate insures huge amounts of
uninterrupted power needed for
smelting. Aluminium Limited
recently announced $190,000,000
program to expand smelter to
330,000 tons of annual capacity
by 1959.

HOW TO RUN AS A DELEGATE
Section 6 of the Act concern
ing election of delegates for the
Alaskan Constitutional Conven
tion specifies: “Candidates for
the offiqe of delegate shall be
nominated by petition filed in
person or by mail with the clerk
of the court of the judicial divi
sion in which the candidate is a
resident on or before May 10,
1955. Each petition shall be ac
companied by a fee of ten dollars
except that the fee for candidates
for election from the Territory
at large shall be forty dollars.
Each nominating petition shall be
signed by legally qualified voters
of Alaska residing within the el
ection district in and for which
the delegates nominated are to
be elected equal in number to at
least five per cent of the number
of votes cast in the election dis
trict in the General Election of
1954, provided that no nominat
ing petition need contain more
than two hundred signatures nor
may it contain less than fifty sig
natures, in any election district.”
To ascertain the exact number
of signatures needed, contact the

Girl Scout News
The Girl Scout Committee met
last week and it was decided to
hold a food sale to raise funds for
the annual encampment at Dex
ter camp, dates for which were
set at June 13th through the 19th.
Some people may be a little
confused, the chairman stated, on
the Girl Scout food sale which
was held during the winter. This
was a Senior Intermediate project
and was planned and held by this
group of girls in order to raise
money for their own troop.
The chairman, Mrs. Pete Read
er, added that “these girls also
made and sold wreaths at Christ
mas time, ordering the greens
from White Mountain and mak
ing up the wreaths during their
meetings.
'“We think this enterprising
troop of girls should be com
mended for their willingness and
their ability to work as a group.
They are planning on an extra
week at camp with these funds
and have also voted to use a por
tion of it to pay for some girl who
would otherwise not be able to go
to camp.”
Mrs. Jack Jenkins, new chair
man of the Girl Scout Committee,
has begun plans for the Scout
program in the fall. “She has
many interesting ideas and we
are confident she will do an ex
cellent job ,” stated Mrs. Reader,
retiring chairman.
In Mexico, a patient will in
quire whether medicine is to be
taken with the right or left hand.
If the former, the liver is be
lieved to be benefited; if the
latter, the kidneys.
