This was the imaginative ; way' IiMC celebratted its ore strike. Though ,the mine fascinated me as Ricky and I were con- ducted through vast tunnels, up :giddy heights !where potash • Was being separateld from Sally in a foam process and by many more stages too Complicated for me to analyze coni chip, it was the .human relationship of ,this project with .its employees, nearby towns, and the country at a whole, that really fired my interest.

Unless same bright %brain" comes up with a syn- thetic substitute for nature's wonder fertilizer, the market for Saskatchewan't potash is limitless. With far away ,mar- kets in the picture, the CN st- ands to gain through, vast ship- ments over ,the spur line it has built into the planet connecting with its transcontinental Mane. This freight promises a nice pr ofmt for the railway. But to ge't bask to human relationships. There are be- tween four and five hundred persons on the company's pay- roll. There are, of course, key trained men among them, but for the most part the staff hes been recruited from the sur- rounding area. Training Program When we were there, the plant was going full tilt 24 hours a dray. Ninety-five per- cent of tthes conittril ti nn labour force will be involved in an e,tenadon training program. Most of these are fanners, or hese a 'fanning background. When they have finished 200 hems of their triainting, they Will know haw to operate much of the equipment. .Naturally they are screened for stbeir greatest skills, whether they are mechanical or electrical, but it is a general training pro- gram. "We look at these men as individuals They are paid according to 'their skills. We haven't tset either. an age limilt EXPeRTS " ' e� LET YO1/R EZECTRICAL PF B(EM5 &rASED!, pfI ��1 GAVE O' ar edueational level. All we require is :ability to learnt This is not a program to wash out a lot of workers, but one to give then opportunities to progress and stay in the firm," 1 was rtnldi. A tribute paid these men by Mr. Neilsorn, I think should be mentioned. . Because of their. farm baclagraund he said, they are versatile workmen. One minute 'theta' are lugging 'steel.', the next pouring concrete, or Swinging a hammer. They have an 'atti'tude toward their work seldom found in more indust- rialized areas. Fanning is de- manding, both of a man's time,. his 1en:owledge (he might be fix- ing a tractor one minute, the next repairing a chimney) and his tempernnett. The combina- tion IMC has founds, adds up to excellent workmanship. Another interesting 'aspect of this setup is the fact that most of the engineers, executive staff and lab technicians are yoking men who have graduated from western 'Canadians universities, even though this is a Canadian substidiiary of can American firm and ane might rightly expect a US (trained staff, "Unlike many large indust - tries," said Hardy Neilson, "we have no desire to BE the town, we want to integrate and be as hel'p'ful as possible with the mushroom growth we realize we created, Some towns grew because of a mine, but" here this is in reverse. These oom- xnuniitiies existed long before the mane was discovered. We're the new kids on the block and we realize our approach to community development should be geared 'to this fact." Joint Effort The golf course, proposed swimming poly", even the water works and sewer program have all been company subsidized. And 'in return, IMC looks to the eat nnunaty for leadership. It knows a good worker is a happy one.. Only a progressive community can provide him with a good home and fine schools for his children. Mr. and Mrs, W. S.
