BRANCH LINE NEARS COMPLETION ~ One of the most difficult construction problems faced by Canadian National Railways engineers in the building of a new 29-1-milc C.N.R. branch line to link mineral-rich Northern Quebec with the industrial areas of the province was the 400-foot bridge spanning the gorge of the Gran River. The bridge, 32 miles northwest of St. Mien was constructed by the cantilever method. To transfer workers & materials to the opposite side of the deep gorge, a. needlemast was erected to support a cableway similar to the breeches-buov technique employed to transfer men between ships at sea. The first section. of the line between Beattyville and Chibougamau was opened in 1957 and it is expected the second section from Chibougamau to St. Feléoéon of 133 miles will be opened late this year. The new town of Chibougamau is now u thriving municipality of £000. CLAIM CLAIREVILLE : After 105 years of service to the community the Toronto Gore Agricultural Soc- iety. sponsors of Claireville an- nual spring fair, has ceased to exist.

Every Saturday he holds classes at Richvale Community Centre and the classes include tarp. ballet, ballroom and baton. At the age of four Dennis was brought: by his parents from Northern Ireland (Belfast), to Canada when his fam- ily emigrated to the land of opportunity. Dennis was educated at the Les- lie Street Public Scbool in To- ronto until he went on to high school and higher education. Dancing At Age 4 Dennis started his career in dancing at. an early age. He was dancing as a small child and ap- pearing in public professionally from the age of seven. His ser- ious study of dancing commenc- ed when he was eleven and he attended dancing schools in To- ronto and New York. Dancing Partners at 16 Dennis continued alone until to develop the sellout next year into a full~time establishment if sufficient support and enrolments are forthcoming. Currently it is being operated on an experimenâ€" tal basis with classes held only Saturday mornings. Recital Next Year He plans next year to organize a recital at Richmond Hill and Thornhill High Schools to dem- onstrate the advancement his pu- pils have achieved. Tuition in dancing is better to- day than it has ever been says Dennis and it is good for children to learn to dance â€" not to be- come champions. unless they have the exceptional talent for it. but Just as a part of growing up, It helps a child to become a good mixer, to develop confidence and to defeat any tendency to infer- iority complexes. It is an essen- tial part of a child‘s education. be- lieves Mr. Moore. to dance he was sixteen. At that stage he met and teamed up with his current partner. Maxine, who was also sixteen at that time. They have continued together as dancing partners professionally ever smee. With the outbreak of World War II the two were engaged to entertain the troops and travell- ed across Canada from one camp to another. and were the only combination dancing team so se- lected. To~ Japan and Korea From Japan and Korea they re- turned to appear in Television shows in both Canada and the U.s,A.
