The Alberta government’s latest control pian is the use of cyanide guns in an area requesting the ma- terials, supplied free by the agricul- ture department. The $5 bounty for each coyote killed has been discon- tinued. Cyanide guns, 3300 of them have been distributed in 33 Alberta areas, appear to be successful but because they are not yet used on a Province- wide basis the over-all results still ure small.

Discuss Plans For P.G.E. Inaugural Run To Prince PRINCE GEORGE — Although official opening of the Quesnel- Trince George éxtension of the Pa- cific Great Eastern Railway will take Place provably in July, trains will likely not operate on a regular sched- uled basis until August or Septemper. This stztement made here this week by a PGE official who ex- plained that the road-bed must sta- bilize to some extent before it can carry continual loads. Premature use of the line would wreak extensive damage to soft fills which would be flattened by eaces-\ sive weight. Even August is considered early to start running scheduled trains over the line, some engineers are said to believe. In some parts of the world rail- road grades are left as long as two years after construction has ended before they are put to the burden of carrying trains on a regular basis. FIRST NOT FIRST Most of the initial traffic over the Quesnel-Prince George extension ¥all be work trains whose crews will be putting finishing touches to the 86- mile extension. Official opening of the line will was likely come a month or more after the first train has actually travened over the route a railroad official stated. meanwhile, preliminary plans for the ollicial opéwimg or tbe rauroud “re being made.

He said two cars had recently seen acquired by the PGE tiom an american railroad and that modi- ication of one of these for regular use woula be postponed so the ex- uibit could be built into it.

According to a PGE official, the car selected for the exhibits could be brought here about a month be- fore the date of the official opening in order to give tose in charge of its exhibits plenty of time to pre- pare for the big day. The exhibit car may be attached to the inaugural train here and hauled south or it may be moved south prior to the inangural trip and displayed in Vancouver before coming north. = Viewpoint .. .

This is somewhat different from the CBC’s pglicy of mostly supplying what it believes is good for the pub- lic, regardless of how unpalatable such offerings may be to the com- mon run of radiy listeners. By and large radio is an enter- tainment media. And why the CBG : continues to clutter up the air lanes with many of its pseudo-cultural Programs spouted by performers who apparently are talking aiound a hot potato, is something that is long past the point of being distaste- ful to a great majority of unfortun- ate Canadian listeners. .

If the CBC is to-continue to be subsidized by the tax-payers of Can- ada it is about time the subsidy was used a little more to the liking of most of us, even if such a step meant sweeping out a lot of CBC studios and starting from scratch.
