PIERRE Sun Staff Reporter The 10-year fight for Sunday commercial sport in Vancouver has ended in complete victory for its sup-j porters.

The Supreme Court of Canada today gave the final decision. The court gave a unanimous ruling on a point of law and no further appeal is possible. So ended a hectic 10 years. 1 The Supreme Court judges followed almost everybody I ejse in passing judgment on commercial ball games. The issue had already been judged, publicly and at length, by Vancouver city council and the B.C.

Legislature, tens of thousands of petitioners, tens of thousands of voters, VITAL STATISTICS OF NEW B.C. INDUSTRY Project: Pig iron, steel ingot and rolled steel smelter. Location: Kimberley. Cost: $20,000,000. Employees: More than 200.

B.C. to Get Steel Mill Kimberley Site for $20 Million Project A $20,000,000 iron and steel mill, the first in western Canada, will be constructed at Kimberley this year.

First stage of the project, a smelter for converting iron tailings into pig iron, will be completed by 1961. Plans for B.C.'s newest industry were revealed today by Premier W. A. C. Bennett and Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co.

of Canada, the owners of the plant. They call for: Initial expenditure of $10,000,000 with a further $10,000,000 expansion beginning in 1962; Immediate construction of sintering and furnace feed facilities with a capacity of 100,000 tons of iron oxide a year, and an electric furnace with a capacity of 36,500 tons of pig iron a year; Eventual construction of steel ingot and steel rolling facilities; A subsidy of more than $100,000 a year will be paid by the provincial government towards the proposed steel smelter. The subsidy, paid under the terms of the B.C. Iron Bounty Act of 1937, will ultimately amount to $3,000,000. Sought Steel Industry Premier Bennett termed the project "one of the most important developments in the industrial history of our province.

"For many years B.C. has sought a steel industry without success. Now we have that industry," he said. The new smelter will be located adjacent to Cominco's fertilizer plants in Kimberley. It will employ more than 200 workers.

The smelter will use huge stockpiles of irjon tailings from Cominco's Sullivan mine. There is a reserve of more than 15,000,000 tons of recoverable iron in the tailings that have accumulated over the 36 years of operations at the Sullivan mine. W. S. Kirkpatrick, president of Cominco, told The Sun today that current production from the Sullivan mine will increase reserves by about 350,000 tons of iron a year.

He said the pig iron and steel ingots will be sold in B.C. and Prairie regions. Kirkpatrick said the iron tailings would first be fed into the fertilizer plant where the sulphur will be removed. The tailings will then be transferred to the sintering plant in the form of slurry. churches, sport clubs and the Women's Christian Temperance Union.

had a roved an amendment of Vancouver's city charter which had, in turn, enabled the city to pass a by law allowing commercial sports between 1 and 6 p.m. Sundays. TAKEN TO OTTAWA The Lord's Day Alliance took the issue to Ottawa, claiming that commercial sport on Sunday involved criminal law and could be dealt with only by the federal government. The Alliance lawyer also contended, during the two-day argument in February, that religious observance is a matter of federal, not provincial responsibility. Supreme Court judges in announcing their decision today did not publish reasons.

They will later. It was an important decision for all Canadians, relating to liberalization of "blue laws" anywhere in tfie country. UPSET DANGER If the Alliance appeal had been successful, Ontario legislation, under which Sunday sport is governed by local option, would have been in danger of upset. Ontario had joined B. C.
