THOUSAND ISLAND BRIDGE
Describing the new Thousand is-
lands International Bridge, hrederick
Edwards says in .MacLeanst
It is an ,unusual bridge in many
ways, A remarkable bridge in some
respects perhaps a unique bridge, al-
though unique is a dangerous word,
not to be used lightly. Actually it is
not one bridge, but five bridges, ctn-
bodyiing four ditTerent types of 'bridge
design linked by about five miles of
new highways constructed across two
of the larger islands. Thousand Is-
lands International Crossing would
identify this combination of 'bridges,
viaducts and roads more accurately
than its official designation. Engineers
who worked on the jo'h got to calling
it the "five -in -one" bridge, ,Some of
the younger mets spoke of it irrever-
ently as the "hop -skip -and -jump"
bridge.
One of the remarkable things about
this bridge is that its creation has
lacked entirely the sensational feat-
ures which stake most important
bridge enterprises either famous or
notorius. It has no abnormal 'height.
It has taken only sixteen months to
build,
Building the Thousand Islands
Bridge has been a cinch job. The en-
gineers admit it. None of those har-
rowing problems of foundation struc-
ture, quicksands, shale, and that sort
of thing, requiring air caissons and
similar devices, .were encountered. On

Prairie Farm Rehabilitation -
Lrndrr the Prairie Rartn Heliabili-
tation Act as sassed in 1936, l,roci-
sion was made for dicing as-istance
to farmers and ranchers largely on a
self-help basis Inc the rehabilitation
of drought and soil - drifting areas in
the open plains of .'llberta, Saskatch-
ewan, and Manitoba. - -
The rehabilitation work 110w organ-
ized under the Art embraces three
stain activities: (10 cultural work to
promote systems of farming that will
provide greater economic security,
(2) water development to ' encourage
and assist in the fullest utilization of
all surface water supplies, and 13)
land utilization where areas ofinfer-
ior soil are being removed from crop
production, and connuttity pastures
established. All cultural work is dir-
ected through the. Experimftntal
Farms of the Dominion Department
of Agriculture.
In the land utilization work, the
primary object is to rettiove inferior
lands from 'cultivation and put them
to more economical use by establish-
ing community pastures after individ-
uals residing in these areas have been
re-established. The plan does not in-
volve any wholesale movement of
settlers bot rather an adjustment of
the population.
Water development has probably
attracted wider attention than any
other phase of the P. F. R. A. wank,
possibly for the reason that no other
problem has so great an effect on the
daily life of the people of the prairie..
This work includes (11) small projects
for individual use such as dugouts,
darts, and irrigation where feasible,
on which the farmer does the work;
(2) municipal or small community
projects where work is done by a
municipality or local association; 13)
larger community projects, either for
stockwatering or irrigation, and con-
structed under contract, and (4) larg-
er water storage projects for which
$500,000 was voted by Parliament,
