That's how much money is being invested in new industries along the Pacific Great Eastern Railway's line to north-central B.C. Half a billion dcHlars' worth of investment - and that's just the beginning. The P.G.E. is the artery which carries in the materials and equipment necessary to establish and maintain the new industries, as well as bring out their production for the markets of the world. It is a modern railway, equipped with microwave communications and up-to-date rolling stock, but it is still a pioneer railway too, for the P.G.E. plays an important role in opening new frontiers. The freight service of the P.G.E. is vital to the new industries of the Northern Interior. A few short years ago, there was a wilderness of forest and muskeg where thriving communities stand today. The P.G.E. is the line that keeps the North alive . . . and growing. PACIFIC GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY HEAD OFFICE: 1095 WEST PENDER ST.. VANCOUVER.

REGAL JEWELLERS 992-6521 ^^^^^ '0 ^ How To Bo A Good Sport This Wintor When lakes and streams freeze over, and city and country alike are carpeted in snow — don't hibernate] Bundle up and get outdoors. Be as healthy, tanned and active as you were during the summer, by participating in winter sports. Ever-increasing numbers of Canadians are heading to the hUls to ski — in fact, skiing is the fastest growing sport in the country ~ but in addition, there are ice skating, sail skating, ice hockey, bob sledding and tobogganing, as well as long walks in the brisk or snowy weather. Here, to help you warm up to the idea of playing outdoors this winter, are a few handy hints: 1. ARE YOU PHYSICALLY FIT? Authorities warn that you must be physically fit before beginning any program of exercise or sports. You can tone up by starting right now tSwalk a little more each day, and to gradually exercise each morning, afternoon and evening. Enjoying winter sports depends as much on limber muscles and agility as it does on skill. To our many friends and patrons who have made this Christmas so grand for us, we wish the Merriest of Christmas of all. FORSTERS AUTO SUPPLY LTD 2. WHICH WAY DOES THE WIND BLOW? Usually square in your face, whether you're walking, skating or skiing. One good way to protect your face from windburn and get a vacation-in-the-sun tan at the same time, is to carefully apply lotion or cream before you expose your skin to the wind, Play.it safe and you'll look,your best all winter long. 3. DON'T SKATE ON THDf ADVICE. Ice skating dates back to the early days of the Scandinavinas and Germans, and the earliest skates were made of bone or wood. Ice skating as a sport didn't exist until the Iron Age. Skating then ~ as now — was a graceful sport, requiring good balance, a sense of rhythm, •and athletic ability. If you're buying figure skates (ones that have slightly convex blades which permit you to turn sharply without lifting your skates from the ice) remember that goo*skating boots fit very tightly at the heel, provide toe wiggling space, are reinforced at instep and ankle, and come in half sizes with a variety of widths. Figure skates are worn over thin socks, regular stockings, or stretch tights, not over heavy woolen socks. Again, the reason is tight fit. Authorities advise that your skate boots, to be well fitted, should be one to two full sizes smaller than your regular shoe. Another thing to remember is that whether you're an expert or beginner, chances are you're headed for a falll 4. DON'T JUST JUMP INTO SKIING. "La fixation" sounds like it might describe the craze for skiing that has overtaken Canada but in French it means the bindings on a pair of skis. If you plan to tackle skiing, you'll find that proper gear is as important as skill. When buying skis, remember these rule-of-thumb suggestions: The correct length of the ski — if your height is in normal ratio to your weight — should be from the ground to the wrist When your arm is raised above your head. If your weight is greater, then the ski should be 2 to 3 inches longer; if r te V your weight is less, then the ski should be 2 to 3 inches shorter. Women and beg'rme- s, as well as older and lest a^Ue skiers, are also advised to uiie a shorter ski. A word about safety: Most accidents in skiing occur when the foot cannot be freed from the ski. To offset this, safety bindings were designed — but to be good protection they must be quality bindings that are properly mounted and adjusted. Safety bindings cannot prevent all accidents (you could, for instance, lose your girl at the lodge!).— but a considerable number of broken legs and other injuries are avoided by their use. In addition to the safety bindings, be sure your skiis have catch-straps. These are indispensable so that a ski which has been freed from the foot doesn't go scooting down the slope by itself. 5. GOOD COMMON SENSE HELPS MAKE A GOOD SPORT. Sftlect your winter sport carefully — according to your interests, your age and your pocketbook. Take your thne in selecting your gear and clothes ~ and once they're yours, take good care of them. Don't try 1: to become a pro overnight; to become expert in any sport takes^ patience and practice. You'll find the out-of-doors invigorating — for a day, a weekend or an extended vacation. Be a good sport this winter ~ and have fun! If you had no family fireside. . .If you had no Christmas table at which to sit. . .If you had no one who really cared . . .How meaningless 'Happy Christmas' would be to you. 1,500 men who have no family fireside. . .no homeof their own at which to celebrate Christmas . . .will be guests of The Salvation Army this year as they sit down to a turkey dinner with all the trimmings on Christmas day and a gift of a warm pair of sox to keep out the cold and damp this winter. Make one or more of these needy neighbours at The Salvation Army's Christmas dinner your own guest by giving your donation today to your local Salvation Army Corps or by mailing it to The Salvation Army Christmas Cheer Fund Headquarters, 301 East Hastings Street, Vancouver 4, B.C.
