...years to cook with gas. After a two-year search for reserves to supply the region, Houston Pipeline Builder Ray Fish battled the Federal Power Commission for two more years (TIME, June 28, 1954) to win permission for his $230 million Pacific Northwest line. Once started, Fish's Scenic Inch raced faster, farther, through more rugged terrain than any other U.S. pipeline...
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...

Tallamy can take credit for building one of the most scenic and safest superroads in the U.S. (2.8 deaths per hundred million vehicle miles). But if Tallamy had it to do all over again, the 427-mile Thruway from New York City to Buffalo would be even better; he says he would avoid all scenically dull stretches, make roadways at least 80 ft. apart, build them at different levels for greater safety and so that oncoming traffic would not spoil the view. Last week Highway Man Tallamy got his chance...
...longer short, Picture Parade, makes one regret the Brattle's recent boycott of Magoo. It depicts scenic spots across America including caves in Oregon "so unusual they are under government protection." The cartoon concerns Pepe le Pew, an unsatisfied skunk...
...papers at his kneehole desk in the small office to the right of the front door. Though nominally retired since 1954, he is interested in many of the island's good works. Unobtrusively, he is building a small public park on the old Dane estate on a scenic headland near Seal Harbor, acquiring more land for the island's roomy Acadia National Park, paying the hospital bills of a local family, laying plans for the removal of more of the unsightly "snags" (tree stumps) left by the 1947 Bar Harbor fire, making up the annual deficit...
