BRITISH Columbia, land of promise, is celebrating a birthday this year. It is a vigorous, bustling 100. In observance of the occasion, TIME sent Calgary Bureau Chief Ed Ogle and Toronto Photographer George Hunter ranging across the province by airplane, helicopter, train, bus, car, steamship, fishing boat and afoot to get a color picture spread and a colorful story.

But Lucky Swede Anderson, divorced by his dance-hall girl, died pushing a wheelbarrow in a sawmill for $3.25 a day. Lucky always denied that he ever had a million: "The most...
Removal of the 16-oar training boat from active use today symbolizes, in effect, the end of the first stage of training for the Yardlings and of the weeding out process among crew candidates.
