As wall as being famed as

is steadily gaining internation:
al fame as a centre of gealog-
ical research

There are two reasons why}
this has happened
Virst there are many geol-|

ogical specimens and fossils to
be found here, and second, the
avea is more thoroughly map-

ped from 4 geological stand-
point than any other area in
North Ameriea

| Internationally known geoli
ists often come here to ob-

B |sorve and tost their theories

| Latest of these notubles to
visit here is Esa Hyyppia who
Finland’s chief geologist
He was here in August and
was conducted through the d
ict by Dr. J, E, Armstro:
geologist for the
Government with headquarters}
}in Vancouver and who is large-
|ly responsible for the detailed
mapping of the area, He is one
of the various local boys who
haye made good in a big way
Armstrong was born and ri
Jed in Cloverdale and the know
|ledge of local conditions which

Es

work of mapping the surficial
geology a great deal easier and
|more complete

In an interyiew he stated
whole district was a
tropical paradisé many, perhaps
|millions, of years ago

As a proof of this he points
fo the rock formation

sham where fossil palms can

City may host
drama festival

‘The possibility of hosting the
BC. One*Act Drama Festival in
White Rock in 1961 looks very
strong to optimistic Franklin
Johnson, director of the. White
Rock Players’ Club and presi-
dent of the B.C. Drama Festi-
val Association. }

Johnson feels the new stage |
being constructed at the new |
theatre on Johnston Road is|
ideal for the festival, It 1s|
wider and deeper than that of
the York Theatre stage in Van-

“where a number of the |
prodtictions have been |

held.
‘The festival is slated for Ver-
