Last year Premier Bennett announced that his government proposed to license Sweden's Multimillionaire Axel Wenner-Gren (TIME, Oct. 21, 1957) to build a $400 million-to-$600 million hydroelectric project on the Peace River, wire the electricity 600 miles to Vancouver. Wenner-Gren would also study the possibility of building pulp and paper mills, mines and smelters in the undeveloped northland. Since then, Wenner-Gren has spent an estimated $10 million surveying possible dam sites, prospecting for minerals...

A few days later she and Bertram and John all found more. They took the collection to Dr. Kenneth Oakley of the British Museum of Natural...
Last week New York's Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, one of the backers of the search, heard from Dr. Raymond A. Dart of Witwatersrand University. Deep in the same stony layer where Digger Brain had found the tools, Alun R. Hughes and Revill Mason found two teeth of prometheus. Dr. Dart considered the find good evidence that prometheus "was actually coexistent with, and in all probability responsible for, that very primitive stone pebble culture...
