SE Ee a ee ee a a ae ---- PEN PICTURES Mines, By RUSS Mining is usually considered an enterprise associated with a strong back, in fact the vernacular of the old gold rush prospector has noth-| extra-curricular ing in it which compares mining and education in the same sen- tence. Advancement methods has proved this concept inadequate, in fact, mining in Northern Ontario today would not be economically feasible without trained technicians. John D. Frey has selected the training of these technicians as his life's work. He was born in Can- brook, British Columbia, in 1926, located just 20 miles south of Kim- berley in the heart of mining country. Here he obtained his grade and secondary school train- ing, during which time he took an active interest in the mining cen- tres about exercising this interest by frequent visits. 'He attended the University of British Columbia where he obtain- ed his B.A. Sc., specializing in mining engineering.

He states, "It is a crime that activity in our school is so limited due to its size, we feel that there should be some of modern} allowance for recreation at a de- cent price."

John claims the aircraft' in- dustry interesting and especially during the time the Mark VI air- crafts were in production, but later with Canada becoming self- conscious about defence expendi- tures it left little to offer. He spotted the Haileybury Pro- vincial Institute of Mining and con- sidered it a "healthy approach to mining'"" and joined the staff in the fall of 1954. To date John has completed five terms of teaching at the Institute and finds the work intriguing. He teaches Junior Surveying, Senior English, Junior and Senior Mining. He says that he likes teaching very much compared to mining. In February of this year he be- came Chairman of the C,I.M., last year he was vice-chairman and previous to that he was secretary. _John feels that the Mining School is supplying a very necessary tech- nical personnel to the mining in- dustry.
