Canada's funny-money Social Credit Party, which was elected in the province of Alberta in the hungry '30s on a promise to pay "dividends" to all citizens, got ready at last to hand out the cash. Premier Ernest Manning's government last week set aside $11 million, about one-third of the revenue it will receive this year from the province's oil and gas boom, for direct distribution to the people of Alberta. Shares this year will amount to about $22 for every adult Canadian citizen with five years' continuous residence...
ATHABASKA OIL SANDS in Alberta, which have estimated reserves of 300 billion bbls. but have long defeated efforts to extract oil, will be developed by Canada's Royalite Oil Co., Ltd. Royalite will start building plant this spring to separate 20,000 bbls. of oil a day from sands with new centrifugal process, then add processing plant, town site for 1,400 people, and a 350-mile pipeline to Edmonton. Initial cost: $50 million...

At the expense of the Calgary Herald, Mike Kadar, 47, an immigrant from Hungary 28 years ago, sought to talk, brother to brother, to none other than Janos Kadar, No. 1 stooge of the Soviet puppet regime in Hungary. He had small hopes of shoring up younger brother Janos' spine, but other Hungarian-Canadians had besought Mike Kadar to try to intercede in behalf of their valiant relatives still writhing under Russian guns...
Next November, Pacific Northwest will also become an international pipeline. Hooking into Canada's half-completed $90 million Westcoast Transmission Co. line at Sumas, Wash., the Scenic Inch will draw 300 million cu. ft. of gas daily into the U.S. from the Alberta-British Columbia Peace River field. Thus assured of virtually limitless supplies at either end of the line, the $363 million in lines in 1957 will deliver more thermal energy than all the Northwest's hydroelectric dams, and at less cost than gas in New York. Ultimately, says Fish, the line may carry 2 billion...
