CANADIANS BEAT JUNGLE, SNAKES,
TO BUILD WAR -VITAL RAILROAD
Canada's Plane Programme forces opening of new Bauxite
Mines in British Guiana -Roadbed Kept Disappearing into
Swamp, Manager says -40 -mile Road took Year to Complete
Montreal, Aug, 24. -Canadian -
born engineers have just com-
pleted constructing a railroad
through forty miles of steaming
jungle in British Guiana, and
"they had first to kick the snakes
out of the way and then lay the
roadbed over and over again be-
cause the gravel kept disappear-
ing into the swamp," says F. L.
Parsons, general manager of. the
Demerara Bauxite Company, Ltd.,
who oversaw the job.
Aluminum plants in Canada,
turning out the metal which
keeps the United Nations flying,
forced construction of the new
railroad, says Mr. Parsons, now
�t
visiting this city. It takes four
tons of bauxite to matte one ton
of aluminum and your Canadian
plants have been eating up the
mineral at such a pace that down
in South America we Have had to
open new bauxite !nines. We now
have to strip from the bauxite an
overburden of earth up tie 100 feet
thick.
"It took a year to build those
forty miles of load.. It runs from
Macketlzie, where we crush, wash
and dry the bauxite, to a spot in
the jungle called Ituni. We had
unskilled labor. And we had to
deal with the mud, the snakes, and
sometimes an ocelot, which is a
South American tiger.
"This job has added to the
reputation, of Canadianei which is
already high in South America.
They like us down there because
we treat the people well. For in-
stance, our colored boys like to
travel by train so we give them
free rides on the railroad in our
Pullmans -old, -freight cars with
the sides out and benches in. And
we take good care of our white
people, of course. Recently we
found 1t necessaryto build .a
swimming pool for them as they
cannot bathe in the river with
safety because of a freshwater
shark called the piria a vicious
little brute about eighteen inches
long, nearly all mouth and three,
rows of teeth. It bites off fingers
and toes. In gangs this fish even
brings down cows drinking in the
river. It's a curse.

Canada will follow up the good
impression her engineers and
other technicians have been mak-
ing down there. Recently, the
Daily Chronicle of Georgetown,
