Highways Minister Gaglardi will make a pre-opening tour of the new highway today. Mr.

Walker said he had re-reived "a belated invitation" by wire from Mr. Gaglardi' Tuesday, a few minutes after he had told the House of Commons the federal government had been ignored in opening arrangements. Now, on "such short notice, he can't attend. Neither can the MP for the area, Conservative Bill Payne (Coast Capilano), who hasn't-yet received an invitation, although provincial highways authorities say he will be welcome at the ceremony. Mr.

The minister's office said the first notice he had of the opening ceremony was a press reference in Vancouver newspapers.

"He can't possibly go on such stort notice," it was explained. Mr. Payne said he would like to be on hand for the opening as a federal representative, but it would be "pretty hard to make arrangements now."

The fact that the scratch was on the right side, that a hasty ani botched job had been made of hiding it the dirty finger pointed straight at the co-user of the car.

In its busiest year this elevator handled 50 million bushels. the present rate it would handle about 70 million. The chief cause of complaint has been a shortage of No.

By WILLIAM E. EVAN KITIMAT This tough little smelter community is cinching in its belt and planning earlier and longer summer vacations. That, succinctly, is the meaning to its 8,500 residents of Aluminum Company of Canada's announcement that it must temporarily close down smelter and powerhouse to remove an obstruction from the 10-mile-long power tunnel.

The shutdown of Alcan, the "giant the north," will last five to eight weeks and affect some 2,000 workers. But 'Kitimat is an experienced hand at riding out economic upheavals, dependent as it is on the unpredictable world market. It will ride out this one which might be near mortal to other communities its size quite nicely, says Reeve Sam Lindsay. STAGE SET Here's how Kitimat is organizing and belt-tightening: The company set the stage by consulting with the trade unions to which its workers belong and with the community's city fathers before announcing shutdown plans publicly. The impact of shutdown was also eased by scheduling it for the summer and arranging employees' holidays to coincide.

And the company's present policy of housing and rental assistance continues during the closure: it will carry the mortgage for the workers. Unemployment i ance will help the workers. All 2,000 of them qualify for it, and the 1,700 hourly workers among the 2,000 also qualify for supplemental benefits. BRIGHT SIDE "The bright side," said Reeve Lindsay, "is that when the tunnel trouble is corrected it will lead to future expansion here." Many residents are already making plans for extended holidays. Kitimat has a large immigrant element, and they've been socking their earnings away in the bank for some years.

Dozens of them are expected io seize the time of the shutdown as the occasion to make that long-awaited visit to "the old country." Many who stay home, however, will have time on their hands this summer. For them, the community's recreational facilities will be expanded.

''Yes, dear," she'd say, possibly not noticing the primary incision. "Even the car is breaking out in different tones of verdancy," I'd go on.

Her apprehensive start I would pretend not to have seen. Instead, I would stroll to the record player and put on the long-play of "Paint Your Wagon." Returning to the kitchen I would say blandly: "If you're going to take up painting, I think it's a good idea to start from scratch, don't you?" Right there she'd break down.
