Medical Student Spock was one of thousands of young men who have invaded Canada's bush country in the last 60 years as faculty members of a unique institution called Frontier College. Its campus stretches 3,000 miles from the Yukon to Labrador; its most avid students are immigrant laborers who hunger to learn English in order to become Canadian citizens. Last week the Toronto-based school dispatched the first of this summer's 75 instructors-most of them greenhorn college students-to take grueling jobs in remote mines, lumber camps, construction and railroad gangs. "They arrive...
...newsman, has been Premier through the whole decade of confederation. When he first took over, he earmarked some $25 million for an industrial development program that is beginning to produce results. Government-aided surveys turned up fabulous deposits of iron ore in Newfoundland's mainland territory of Labrador; one is now being mined, the other is scheduled to go into production in the 1960s. In Newfoundland and Labrador, surveyors uncovered promising finds of copper, lead and zinc, asbestos, fluorspar, gypsum and uranium. Perhaps even more significant was the exploration of sites on Labrador's Hamilton River that could...
Cocker and Springer Spaniels make excellent dogs for pheasant. Rather than point game, most spaniels flush it, often leaping spectacularly into the air in an effort to catch birds on the wing. Waterfowl hunters occasionally use water spaniels, but generally take their choice of the three retrieving specialists: the Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever or Chesapeake Bay Retriever...
...well-advanced plan to build the free world's first atom-driven icebreaker. To displace 7,000 tons, the craft will have almost twice the power of a diesel-engined vessel, probably cost around $40 million, three times more than Canada's diesel-powered icebreaker Labrador. To build the new ship, Canada will need help from the U.S., but since a Canadian icebreaker would be a major addition to joint U.S.-Canadian forces in the Arctic, Canadian planners expect Washington to give all technical assistance-and a hearty Godspeed. Most likely builder of the propulsion reactor: Hamilton...
...when deep-draft ships can steam directly from the ocean lanes into the ports of Toronto, Cleveland and Chicago in what trade promoters like to call the Eighth Sea, the Fourth Coast, the North American Mediterranean. The main payloads on the old 14-ft. canals - iron ore upstream from Labrador and wheat downstream to Montreal-will fill the holds of probably nine-tenths of the ships on the new canal. Seaway planners forecast a traffic load of 25 million tons on the new seaway next season-just double the old seaway's 13 million tons...
