Chuck Les, known widely throughout this city of Prince George, has just returned from a trip clown south during which he drove an estimated 2,000 miles in 10 clays. They were accident free miles as have been all of Chuck's auto mileage. He's never had a speeding ticket or even on for parking, he proudly claims.
Certainly Chuck jealously guarded these creditable driving laurels.

Wen-Gren Engineer In xTrench' Area
Sir Thomas Foy and a team of engineers making plans for the gigantic Wenner-Gren development north of here today are in the Rockey Mountain Trench.
They are believed to be taking a final look at the site of a huge 4,000,000 horsepower hydro electric site on the Peace River.
Dr. Axel Wenner-Gren, who is financing the hydro and mineral development, said in Vancouver last month further plans for the scheme will be announced at the end of August or early September.
Alaska's Problems Discussed At Meeting
Issues raised by Alaska's newly acquired statehood will be discussed at a meeting in Vanderhoof next week to be attend e d by representatives from the northern half of B.C. and the Alaska panhandle.
Associated Boards of Trade of Central B.C. at their fourteenth annual convention will consider means of increasing trade, and improving communications between Alaska and British Columbia.
"In the past, when Alaska was controlled by Washington, trad-Ing between B.C, and Alaska was hampered. We hope to do much to improve this state of affairs at next week's meeting," Alex Howie, president of the Associated. Horirds, said rucoutly.
One project which the meeting will probably promote, he said, will be the establishment of a ferry from Ketshiean to Prince Rupert.
Such a ferry would save Alaska bound freight from 13.C. a journey of about 3,000 miles along the Alaska Highway.
The meeting will discuss many other problems connected with the north�mineral development, highways improvement, farming questions, development of access roads and others.
