Some of the oil would be bled off in the community for heating, or to generate power, but its main purpose would be to float the resources to the railhead. He gave an example of how a transport package of solids pipelines, air shuttle services, and hovercraft linked to a major railhead might one day make it possible for a new comâ€" munity based on a resource industry to be establsihed in a remote area. He said CN people must also become ‘good pipeliners, good truckers, good operators of air cushion vehicles, as well as good railroaders,"" and that the company ‘"must become something more than a railway." It must become a transportation company and accept the whole of tranâ€" sportation as its proper field of action and concern. Dr. Bandeen explained that on a relative basis the importance of rail transport is declining. In absolute He said it would not be sufficient in the future, if the company were to engage fully in the expansion of national transport potential, for it to only operate a good railway. express. Dr. Bandee said Canadian National was attempting to evolve into the type of transport enterprise which would create and operate such packages of integrated service as the one he outlined. of growth, rather than of limiting growth, and this, I believe, would be the correct decision. It is the decision Canadian National has made." On the other hand, if they were to "decide to aid and abet the growth of transport options and possibilities for intermodal service", they would be deciding ‘"in favour By 1985, he said, inâ€" termodal transport systems will account for the movement of almost half the goods carried in Canada. If the railways were under these circumstances to concentrate only on honing and refining their rail operations and specialize in doing what they already know they do best â€" run a railway â€" they would be deciding to ‘"limit their potential for future growth." terms, in terms of what rail carried today and what it will carry tomorrow, rail transport would grow in importance; but in relative terms, in terms of the total market it would decline. Chionodoxa â€" or _ Gloryâ€"ofâ€" theâ€"Snow produces ‘starry skyâ€"blue flowers with a snowy center in Aprilâ€"May and are very effective planted in groups on lawns, in banks, borders or under The Anemone is among the gayest of spring flowers. There are many different kinds of anemones, varying greatly in appearance from the early springâ€"flowering, lowâ€"growing species with their delicate rayed flowers, to the large petaled florists‘ types. The 5â€"8" Anemone blanda has small starry flowers. It is the earliest blooming of all the beautiful and _ hardy _ anemones, flowering in Aprilâ€"May. Cluster them in rock gardens or borders at a depth of about 2". All of the following small bulbs are suited to most Canadian climatic and soil conditions. First, we present sweet smelling Allium, a glamorous cousin of the onion family. Allium are diverse in form, height and colour â€" but all are gay and decorative. The blooms are usually round, covered with tiny flowers. For planting, provide a soilâ€"cover three times their own depth. They can be planted inborders or in shrubbery and the smaller varieties are ideal for rock gardens. Nearly all of these bulbs are well suited for the rock garden. A number are suited to the open woodland, or to plant along a woodsy path, or to skirt the base of lightly shading shrubs and springâ€" flowering trees. And since many of these are small in scale, rocks and stones set them off to advantage. Also, stones protect the petals from the splashing mud of spring rains. Right now, though, is the season to plant the little Dutch bulbs. By the dozens or by the hundreds, "little" bulbs of Holland are inexâ€" pensive and offer rich rewards of colour early in the year. They have as many uses as their varied forms suggest. They grow to difâ€" ferent heights and bloom at different times, and they will multiply and spread without special care. There‘s something you can do in the fall to make the winter shorter. Plant little bulbs. The true gardener gets fidgety come late winter. He‘s anxious to start working that plot of land â€" especially when an ocâ€" casional day of sunshine offers a tantalizing glimpse of spring. Well, the ground can be dull brown, there can be patches of snow about, and the calendar can say it‘s still winter, but bulbs such as Chionodoxa, Crocus, Scilla and others will pop up nevertheless in a magic blanket of colour â€" trumâ€" peting spring‘s imminent arrival. Who is the average perâ€" son‘s first contact with the outside world on weekday mornings? _ The _ radio morning man, of course. When executives of the 1971 Metropolitan Toronto United Appeal wanted to Some of the morning men on Toronto radio stations help veteran morning man Bruce Smith blow out the candles on a cake honoring his 23 years of service on CBL. The occasion was a thank you reception hosted by the Royal Trust comâ€" pany for the United Appeal which depends on morning men to Thanks to the morning men Flowers that bloom in the snow es of the in Toronto wanted to Snowdrops, as their name implies, bloom with the spring. The Eranthis or Winter Aconite resembles the buttercup with little globular flowers on 34" stems. You can plant them anywhere in sunny spots or half shadow 2%â€"3" deep and about 3â€"4" apart in clusters. If you avoid dry locations they will seed themselves and spread admirably. The Fritillaria comes in two intriguing species, both of which bloom in May. The blue garden crocus varieties come next, like purple Remembrance, the lovely soft lavender Queen of the Blues, and Pickwick with purple stripes. Crocuses should be planted 4" deep and 4" apart. Chionodoxa Luciliae grows about 4" tall, has six to twelve flowers to a stem. Three or four broadly linear leaves appear at the same time as the flowers. There is a white and pink form. A slightly earlier blooming type, the Chionodoxa sarâ€" densis, produces trus genâ€" tianâ€"blue flowers with white centers. The Crocus has been the biggest "little" bulb favorite ever since it came to Canada via Holland from Greece. The yellow and white species generally flower first; the pure white Snow Bunting may appear as early as February. There are some six different kinds of early spring crocuses, ranging from gold to lilac and blue, all coming under the Crocus chrysanthus banner. thank the broadcast media for awakening Torontonians to the importance of the United Appeal and to ask for help this year, they invited the morning men to a reception given at the Royal York Hotel by the Royal shrubbery or deciduous trees. You can plant them 3" deep and about 3" apart â€" and, as long as they do well, you need not disturb them. Among those attending were Keith Rich, CKEY; Duff Roman, CKFH; Gerry Bascombe, CKFM; Alex Trebek, morning man at CBL as of October 4 and Bruce Smith, CBL. Iris reticulata ‘produces delicately shaped violet flowers on 7" stems in late March or April. Each violet fall has a bright golden orange beard and has the fragrance of violets. Trust Company The Galanthus or Snowdrop with its small, frosty _ white, â€" bellâ€"like flowers lasts for about three weeks in late April. Plant these bulbs 3" deep and 3" apart and let them multiply in the rock garden, unâ€" derneath light trees and shrubs or along paths. Although there are some slight variations in rare kinds, most gardeners are delighted with the common Snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis. It is inexpensive and easily obtainable. Its double flowering form is also popular. Fritillaria Imperialis or the Crown Imperial is the giant of the crocus clan but even with its 3‘ stem topped with a striking cluster of yellow, red or orange flowers, it will not overpower smaller flowers. Set either in a rock garden or along semiâ€" shaded borders, it can be planted 8" deep in groups of 5â€"7 or more. spread the word about the yearly United Appeal. This year‘s campaign opens October 1. Left to right: Keith Rich, CKEY; Duff Roman, CKCH; Bruce; Gerry Bascombe, CKFM; Alex Trebek who takes over the CBL morning program from Bruce Smith on October 4. Fritillaria _ meleagris, sometimes _ called _ the Checkered Lily, has curious markings on a 6â€"pointed, squaredâ€"off, drooping bell, two or three of which appear on 10â€"12" leafy stem. This species comes in white, in light chartreusy tones, in reddish brown and purples with deeper markings. Plant these 3‘ deep in cooler spots in the rock garden, under light shade trees or shrubs. Just as hardy and fragrant snow and will gladden your heart in early The Scilla could be mistaken for a bluebell â€" in fact, the May flowering variety is often called the Spanish Bluebell. But you can enjoy Scillas right from April, when the 46" high Scilla â€" Siberica _ Spring Beauty comes into flower. The Puschkinia or Lebanon Squill is a rock garden plant with lovely clusters of grey blue bells blooming on each 6‘ stem in Aprilâ€"May. It makes a wonderful carpet when planted in sandy soil 3‘ deep and about 3" apart. Plant them in a partial shade and leave them undisturbed. The Muscari or Grape Hyacinth is well known for its pagodaâ€"like flower of myriads of tiny blue bells. Flowering time is from April to May. A great favourite is the 8 tall cobaltâ€"blue Muscari armeniacum. Few gardeners know about the feathery plumed, amethyst coloured Muscari plumosum which is most unusual and an excellent cut flower. It blooms in May and while it too should be planted 3‘ deep like other types of Muscari, it is best to plant Muscari plumosum close together so that the heavy plumes on 8" stems support each other. There are also white varieties available. is its yellow counterpart, Iris danfordiae, which grows some 34" tall. Its graceful clear yellow flowers appear as early as April. Both are excellent for the rock garden or other sunny garden spots. Plant them 3â€"4" deep and about 2â€"3" apart. As an extra surprise, there was a cake to honor Bruce Smith who hasn‘t slept in on weekday mornings for 23 years! But as of October 4, Bruce can turn off the alarm: he‘ll move to a new time slot, 4 till 6 on CBL.
