ployie'd there, or those who will
benefit indirectly, but to the
world in general. This mine
has probably the largest po-
tential of army potash mine
existence. 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

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.
