CBC Chief New Radio Alberta now has two seper- ate CBC radio networks, with stations operating in Edmonton and Calgary.

Wednesday in Calgary, an Edmonton transmitter and a Calgary radio station were officially declared open by Al-phonse Ouimet, CBC president. The Edmonton transmitter. CBX, 3 miles east of the Inter national Airport, is unmanned. It is capable of extending radio programs as far north as Fort McMurray. FOUR TOWERS The transmitter has four towers at the site, with the local station staffed by one announcer and one technician.

The new coverage has been in operation since Oct. 1. The station at Calgary will serve the southern half of the province. Ralph Horley, manager of CBC, Edmonton, says: "Initial northwest to join the PGE at the B.C. boundary, he suggest ed.

"If this is to be done it might be possible to survey a common right-of-way for both the railway and a major highway link. The parallel railway and highway would avoid butchering the countryside with two routes as well as eliminate hazardous level crossings," Mr. Milne said. Vast amounts of water will likely be required for the development, he continued. The source may have to be the Peace River itself.

By planning ahead it can be arranged so that the water supply will serve not only the iron development complex but the major community in the area as well, he said. Housing is another aspect to consider, Mr. Milne said, along with a source of electric power for the iron ore processing complex. Canadian Utilities Ltd. is probably making studies al ready in anticipation of the need for power, he said.

The government's water resources branch department in Edmonton was Richard M. He was opposed by two of Alberta's better known barristers A. of Calgary and John McClung of Edmonton. Magistrate Reid, faced with a barrage of technicalities and objections, granted Mr. Anthony's plea for a written argument on points raised in sum- One to Six in 18 work units.

Fast and slow learners are placed in appropriate streams to complete the 18 units in five, six or seven years. This eliminates the sheer boredom or over-work which have created failures of some students and stunted others, said Mr. Daniels. ENRICHMENT CLASSES The fast students take enrichment subjects. The slower ones do not have to repeat grades which usually teach them no more than they learned the first time.

Mr. Daniels also recommended a streaming system which accelerates or decelerates students according to their ability and epeed in specific subjects.

The board's membership fees source development or regional development.

The planner strongly favors the latter. Resource development is too often mere exploitadon of na tural riches for financial gain, Mr. Milne continued. No thought is given to the long-range fate of the region which supplies the resources or to the communities to which the process gives birth. SEVERAL EXAMPLES There are several examples of the results of resources development in Canada, he con tinued.

A prime' example is Elliott Lake, Ont. A single-industry project too often suffers because of changes in the economy. Regional development on the other hand takes into consideration many other things besides the requirements of an iron ore mining and processing complex, he said. development alternatives: re-These include: communications, water supply, location of urban center, electrical power and agricultural development.

Under agreement, the names of skilled workers in the N.W.T. will be sent to the Edmonton office as part of combined effort by the NES and the northern affairs department to help find jobs for northern people. SKILLED PERSON "It wul really be a two- way proposition," explained Edmonton NES manager Duncan Young.

If employers in the south have jobs open that skilled person from the north can fill, the northern worker will be informed. Similarly, if jobs are avail able in the north for southern workers, the information will be available in NES offices. MAKES OFFICIAL "This isn't really new," said Mr. Young. "We have been operating with the northern affairs department for years to make job information avail-aable.

The agreement just makes it official." There are plenty of jobs in the north for skilled people and there will be more, he said. But sometimes, jobs available in the north are not in the same fields taught in northern vocational schools. or the recent statement by Mr. Baker. He suggested that in making the statement favoring the.

delegation clause of the formula for changing the BNA Act. Mr. Baker had acted in accordance with French temperament, that he had done so under pressure from the French wing of the party, and that he perhaps regretted doing so. "RIDICULOUS" Of a suggestion that the Bal-cer statement and the Fulton memo were linked, Dr. Porter said: "This suggestion of a Baker-Fulton axis is the most ridiculous, puerile thing I have ever heard." He suggested the suggestion was the work of a "highly paid Liberal strategy committee whkh is injecting American methods into Canadian politics." Dr.

Porter also blamed the press for publicizing the suggestion. Lou Hyndman a young Conservative who is chairman of the Alberta party's policy committee, said he was puzzled both by the Fulton episode and the statements made by Mr. Baker CONFLICTING REPORTS Mr. Hyndman suggested there had been conflicting reports on exactly what transpired in the handling of the Fulton memo and maintained that before any opinion could be formed, time would have to be allowed to determine the facts. Of the Balcer statement, he said: "This really bothers me a bit I can't really understand it This should have been ham Boards Growth Inaugurates Facilities ly the three western provinces were covered 'by one network carried from Watrous, Sask.

In 1948, the Lacombe transmitter opened at the same time as the CBX radio station in the Mac Donald Hotel." NOT ADEQUATE "With rural electrification expanded to a great extent, our signals have been pulled down, and were no longer covering the original area," he explained. Mr. Horley said present expansion to the CBC building would soon see the radio station moved to the new facilities on the south side of Edmonton. Present in Calgary for the opening ceremonies were: James R. Finlay, director, prairie provinces, from Winnipeg, and Charles Jennings, general manager of regional broadcasting, from Ottawa.

Peace is looking into the water requirements of the Peace country in relation to the rest of the province. Probably Peace River Alining and Smelting is doing some studies of its own, he added. "Random, unrelated studies carried out at varying intervalj are much less valuable than a series of studies carried out concurrently in a co-ordinated fashion," Mr. Milne declared, CO-ORDINATED APPROACH The regional planning commission would like to make a co-ordinated approach through a series of the region. However, the commission hasn't the finances to handle such a project.

"Production of a development policy for the Peace River country, based on the necessary studies, should be in the main financed by the provincial government," Mr. Milne continued. "It is an investment that will benefit the whole province." "You can appreciate that although reference has been made to the iron ore in the Clear Hills, this is only one of the potential "hot spots" in this region," Mr. Milne added. mation by Mr.

Harradence. These dealt in deep legal terms with board orders, regulations, filings, publication and other requirements concerning the Alberta Board of Public Utility commissioners, the Regulations Act, the Alberta Gazette and other matters. Prosecution and defence submissions concluded Friday but decision was reserved, pending submission of Mr. Anthony's written argument on certain points to Nov. 27.

NOT PRESENT The defendant, not present in court, is William Huff, of Red Deer, a retail milk delivery-man for Purity Dairy, a Leth-bridge-based firm which sells milk in Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer. It is charged that on SepL 26, 1964, Mr sold a three-quart glass Jug of milk to CpL R. R. Sheppard, a Red Deer RCMP officers, for 66 cents. Cpl.

Sheppard admitted on the stand that he was working under instructions when he purchased the milk before 8 a.m. on the day in question. The Crown charges that the milk was sold contrary to a Milk Board's order which stipulates that the minimum pries for a three-quart container of milk is 70.5 cents in the Red Deer area; At an earlier hearing, a not guilty plea was entered. Alberta Tories Decision Reserved On Charge Of Under-Pricing Retail Milk planned approach being prepared in advance of development those doing the planning may be stampeded into wasteful expenditures, indiscretions and a multiplicity of problems, Mr. Milne warned in an inter-new here.

"Similar situations have already been experienced at High Level, Slave Lake and Fort McMurray," he noted. TWO ALTERNATIVES Considering the iron ore de posit he said, there are two Feel ain -Edmonton Public School Board will pay about $17,000 of it. School boards will pay $13 each for the first 100 teachers employed and $7 each for additional teachers, according to the new schedule which was approved Friday during the 58th annual ASTA convention. The added revenue will provide for in-service education for trustees, an additional staff officer to help school boards with teachers' salary negotiations and other services from the ASTA office in Edmonton Other resolutions passed dur ing the convention called for RESEARCH COUNCIL The provincial government to establish an education research council at an initial cost of at least $200,000, plus another $100,000 for first-year operating expenses. The ASTA rural section to make a study on possible means of improving a rural situation in which a much lower percentage of students graduate from small high schools than from the larger ones.

HIGHER PAY The ministers of education and municipal affairs to increase the ceiling on school board trustee remuneration from $5 a meeting to $10 and from $15 to $20 for divisional trustees. The provincial government to amend the School Act to allow school boards to buy blanket accident insurance coverage for all students while at school, travelling to and from school and while involved in school sponsored activities. ASTA ELECTIONS In the ASTA elections, Dr. W. E.

Smith, serving his first year on the Edmonton Public School Board, was elected to the executive council. E. G. Wahktrom of Slave Lake was elected vice-president and Dick Gruenwald of Leth-bridge was also elected to the executive. Joseph Comessotti of Calgary was elected president.

By STAN REID Journal Red Deer Bureau RED DEER Magistrate E. H. Reid reserved decision Friday on a charge that a Red Deer milkman sold homogenized milk for a price below the milk board figure. The charge drew a battery of counsel. Special Crown Prosecutor from the attorney-general's in the association will be doubl ed next year.

This will boost ASTA revenue from $86,500 this year to 800 next year. Calm to criticize Mr. Balcer for pub- hclv endorsing the formula. "Perhaps he did express this view in caucus prior to the public announcement," Mr, Veale suggested. The YPC president also hesi tated to comment on the ulton incident.

"It really difficult to say without knowing all the details of what went on. he said. NOT ENTIRELY HAPPY Mrs. A. T.

Cooke, second vice-president of the women's branch of the Alberta PCs, said she was "not entirely happy with the way things were going in Parliament at the moment, but she hesitated to lay the blame for this on the Conser vatives or Mr. Diefenbaker. "I'm not sure what the problem is," she said. She agreed with Mr. Diefenbaker for the most part, in his call for a flag plebiscite.

WON'T AGREE "The MPs are finding it difficult to get their constituents to agree on either of the flags that have been proposed," she said. "I think it should be decided by a plebiscite at the next election I don't think Parliament should spend any more time discussing it." Mrs. Cooke declined comment on Mr. Baker's statement. "Frankly," she said, "I don't know enough about the details." She also hesitated to comment on the Fulton affair, stating that she had only news reports to go by.

"Mr. Fulton savs this was done to help. I don't know what was in his mind. Only he knows," she said. City School Program Is Excellent Model Alberta Conservatives appear to be unshaken by reports of strife within the party at Ottawa.

They also appear calm, although divided by Opposition John Diefenbaker's stand against the latest proposal for a distinctive Canadian flag. Alberta Conservatives con tacted by The Journal Friday, for the most part endorsed the action of Mr. Diefenbaker and his fellow Conservatives, although some said more details would have to emerge before definite opinions could be formed SPECIFIC ISSUES Those contacted were asked specifically about the flag issue, Mr. Davie Fulton's recent and controversial memorandum on the amending formula for the British North America Act, and recent public statements by Conservative Leon Baker favoring delegation of more authority to the provinces in the formula. Dr.

J. J. Porter, president of the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta, said he believed Mr. Diefenbaker was following a "logical" course and merely doing his duty as a critical opposition leader when he asked for the Fulton memo. BACKS FLAG STAND Dr.

Porter also agreed "100 per cent with Mr. Diefenbaker's stand on the flag issue. "There should be a referendum. That's the only way this issue can be settled," he said. He could see "no rift or clash of interest" in the party either as a result at Fulton memo mered out, with the greatest amount of candor, in caucus It puzzles me, indeed." NO LINK Mr.

Hyndman ruled out any suggestion that there was a link between the two actions. "I'm sure there is no deliberate action behind it. I'm sure if it came right down to it, both (Baker and Fulton) would put the party ahead of any personal feelings." The young conservative disagreed with Mr. Diefenbaker's stand calling for a plebiscite on the flag, but at the same time maintained that the Liberals had raised the issue in the first place at a time when it "was bound to be more of a fragmentary influence than a unifying influence." DOESN'T AGREE On the flag plebiscite, he said: "I can't say I agree with him on that score. Plebiscites are really not a useful way of deciding things the MPs should find out what their people want and vote." Hal Veale, president of the Edmonton Young Progressive Conservative Association, agreed that the flag issue should be decided in Parliament.

"If it came to a choice between a referendum and having the flag as an election issue, I'd take the referendum but I think it should be decided in Parliament." he said. TOO MUCH AUTHORITY Mr. Veale agreed with Mr. Diefenbaker's stand that the BNA amending formula would delegate too much authority to the provinces, but he hesitated By STAN GAUTIIIER Of The Journal CALGARY Edmonton Public School Board Friday got a bouquet for its enlightened approach to education. About 400 delegates to the 58th annual convention of Alberta School Trustees' Association were told to look to Edmonton for an excellent model of the continuous progress program of instruction.

The program developed in Edmonton could be adopted by any Alberta school board seeking to stop waste and dilution of stu dents talents, said E. R. Daniels, superintendent of schools, Fort Vermilion. Under the continuous progress system students take Grades.
