CANADIAN PARLIAMENT MEMBER URGES HAYNES
 CUTOFF BE KEPT OPEN

Every effort now is being made in Ottawa to obtain a decision which would keep the Canadian section of the Haines Highway open on a year-round basis starting in 1850, Alaska Development Board officials here have been advised by the Hon. E. T. Applewhaite, Mem- Der of Parliament for the Skeena district, Prince Rupert, B.C.
 MT. Applewhaite is strongly urging that the 117-mile Canadian section be opened for traffic at the eariest possible moment next spring. That section was not opened last year until June g, although the 43-mile Alaskan portion was cleared several weeks previously.
 Owing to national elections and the late converting of Parliament, attempts by MT. Applewhaite, the Associated Boards of Trade of Gen. tral B.C., the Alaska Development Board and others to have the road kept open this winter were made too late in the year to result in favorable action, he informed the Board officials.
 When requesting that the high way he given winter maintenance, MT. Applewhaite was advised cy Defense Minister Brooke Claxton that while the matter has been the subject of careful consideration, the government has decided Elat the commitment involved in keep ing the highway open for year. round traffic could not be undH'- taken, and therefore the road would not be maintained for winter opera tions this season."
 To support his request, the Alaska Development Board is pro- viding MT. Applewhaite with an- ticipated winter traffic figures and other pertinent information, Board officials said.
