2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, December 2, 1959 "CHURCH AND FATHER LARGCQUE WILL LAST 200 YEARS Igloo-Shaped Church North Of Arctic Circle INUVIK, N.W.T, (CP)--Brother Maurice Larocque has built an igloo-shaped church in this new town on the Mackenzie River delta, 120 miles north of the Arec- tic Circle. Rev. Joseph Adam, Roman Catholic priest at the townsite started in 1955 about 35 miles east of Aklavik, says he thinks "the design is going to become a classic." One engineer said the church will last 200 years. Inuvik, planned as a govern- ment administration centre for the area, will be linked with the outside world by an airport. Its develop t was y be- cause melting permafrost turns Aklavik's terrain into, a quag- mire. PUZZLED BY PLANS When Brother Larocque sent blueprints of the church to Ot- tawa, federal architects sent them back. They didn't under- stand them. However, the church of Our Lady of the Arctic now is near- ing completion. The building per- mit hasn't been issued yet. Brother Larocque is a shy Que- becer who came to the Arctic 30 years ago as a mission carpenter and stayed to build many of the missions and churches which the Oblate Order maintains in the North. |about architecture than many architects. "If what looks all right on the blueprints doesn't look so good in practice why, you just tear it out and start over. "They couldn't und e rstand Brother Larocque's blueprints in Ottawa, and they tried to stop us from building because the brother isn't an architect. Bu! the bishop had the building in- spected by an engineering con- sultant, and he says it will last 200 years." TO SEAT 350 The domed church is 75 feet in diameter and 62 feet from the ground to the tip of its illumi- nated cross. It is designed to seat 350 people, Most buildings erected on the permanently-frozen tundra of the Arctic stand on pilings driven minum shingles which, in reflect- ing light, give the appearance of an ice dome. It is supported by a series of laminated wooden arches that are narrow at the bottom and nearly 10 feet wide at the top. There are 12 main arches, 24 secondary arches and 72 small arches. The arches maintain a svm- metrical dome from the oufside while allowing for a ceiling in- side which provides an insulating air space. The base of the dome is girded by a laminated belt of 2x10-inch lumber. The roof is covered in- fide and out with laminated ship- ap. said Father Adam. "LANTERN" ON TOP The dome is topped by a cir- cular "lantern" with 36 high, parrow windows. Openings will allow light to be reflected to the lower part of the church by alu- minum foil. Lower walls are made of half- inch plywood panels which will be painted white and outlined grey to simulate the snow blocks of an igloo. White-painted wall- board will give the same effect inside the church. Construction is being carried out by Brother Larocque and a crew of seven men aided by vol- unteers.

"No one can tell for sure if those pilings are going to heave or not," said Father Adam. "That's why we settled on a round base and a full, reinforced concrete basement. If we build a church with a steeple and the pil- ings start to heave, it's going to fall down. "Now, if this building settles six inches on one side, it won't show--and we can always jack Father Adam says: "He is no architect, but he knows more it up and make it level again."

Canadian Press Staff Writer The arrival in London of Pre- mier Antonio Segni and Foreign Minister Giuseppe Pella of Italy completes Britain's six - week round of talks with members of the European Common Market. The discussions, which began with a visit to Paris by Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd in mid- October and were carried on dur- ing Chancellor Adenauer's visit to Britain, were not deliberately begun as a roll-call of the six members of the new-born econo- mic community, They were designed rather as a fence - mending operation to| deal with the strains between | 7 Britain and her Euronesn »Wins|f that had grown up in the pro- tracted negotirtiony summit meeting.

The amazing Russian - born Dr. Barbara Moore twice in seven days has foot-slogged a tough 110-mile course to prove her physical fitness. "Life with mastered sex-- thats really the vital key to the success of my two marathons," she said in an interview. "Of course I can'. completely ignore sex, but I've mastered it so that there're no abnormal urges." Asked her views on having children, she replied: "I could have a baby now, but I prefer to wait until I'm 00.
