Engineer Outlines
Plans For
B. C. Development
SEATTLE, (yP» — The Canadian
plan for a huge power develop
ment would not interfere with
any highway or railroad project
in the Rocky Mountain trench, a
British engineer said Saturday.
Ralph L. Chantrill, London en
gineer employed as a consultant
on the proposed Peace River
power project, was here for dis
cussions of power needs of the
Northwest.
Use of the trench as a route
for a highway and perhaps a rail
road to Alaska has been advocated
for years.
“There will be plenty of room
left for that.” Chantrill com
mented.
In the proposed British Colum
bia project^ a key dam on the
Peace River ..would dwarf Wash
ington’s Grand Coulee Dam.
Chantrill said it would provide
at least four million horsepower
(three million kilowatts) “and all
oi it will be firm power.” Grand
Coulee is rated at 1,944.000 kilo
watts, but a substantial power is
secondary power, available about
half the year.
The British engineer said the
Peace River Dam would impound
water forming a lake 250 miles
long, so huge it would store sur
plus water for use in low-water
years.
The Peace River power plan is
part of a gigantic regional devel
opment proposed by Canadian and
European interests. Alex Wenner
Gren, Swedish capitalist, organ
ized a company and arranged a
survey.
The agreement with the prov
ince of British Columbia calls for
a final engineering report by the
end of this year, to be followed
bv railway and other development
starting in 1960.
Social Security Office
Cautions Student Summer
Workers Get SS Cards
-JUNEAU—High school students
who are seeking summer work,
were advised this week by the So
cial Security Office to apply for
social security cards now. /
According to E. C'. Cummins,
Social Security Administration
district manager for Alaska, many
employers are reluctant to hire
anyone who does not have a so
cial security card ready to show.
Employers must have the social
security numbers of all their em
ployes in order to complete fed
eral and state wage reports.
It is easy to obtain a new card
or to replace a lost card, accord
ing to Mr. Cummins. Simply go to
the Social Security Office or to
any post office and request Form
SS-5, application for social secur
ity number. Complete and mail
the application to the Soiial Se
