...urban sophistication, the most cogent economic fact of Canada today is the push into pioneer land, where technology is taking on nature to create a new frontier unlike anything ever seen before (TIME cover, Sept. 30, 1966). With vast areas as yet unexplored, only a fraction of the returns are in. The potash finds in Saskatchewan and oil reserves in Alberta are estimated to be equal to all those known in the rest of the world...
Volcanoes & the Minotaur. At La Ronde, Expo's 135-acre amusement area, there is an aquarium with penguins, a Pioneer Land where gun fights take place every hour, a "safari" through a man-made jungle (where kids can ride on an elephant, a zebra, an ostrich or a llama). For thrill seekers, there is the Gyrotron, a $3,000,000 contraption that allows tourists to strap themselves into miniature rail cars and then be hurtled through a maze of environments that begins with a terrifyingly realistic "orbit" among the stars, careens on through the hellish jaws of a live...
Whatever the meat's merits, the industry owes its growth to Crab King Wakefield, 57, son of an Alaska salmonand-herring pioneer.

Reston's planners know that on this score every other so-called new town in the country has failed--if it has attempted it at all. They are eager to pioneer--to restore the social balance in their new community by including a real cross-section of population and by making it self-supporting...
Brandy at Sundown. A generation ago, it had seemed possible that the original pioneer settler, a Scot named Ferris, might have made an outpost of civilization in this ill-favored wilderness. He had cleared the bush, trained the natives in animal husbandry and domestic service, imported the piano, the chandelier, the stone lions at the stoep, wine glasses and even books. In the hands of Ferris' son, a potbellied boor named Archie, things fall apart-both literally and figuratively. The piano sinks through the termite-ridden floor, the chandelier is unlit, the glasses are broken, the cattle...
