.Anti-FreeZe Used
To Keep Gas Well
Going in Sub Zero

FORT ST. JOHN, BIC, Up -
Thousands of gallons of anti
freeze liquid will be poured down
a "guineau pig" gas we'll by Pa
cific Petroleums in an attempt to
find a way to keep wells flow
ing in sub-zero weather.
Crews have been working day
and might during the current cold
spell of Is below zero ON the. No.
4 we'll along the Alaska Highway
near here, drawing off liquid mud
and burning off millions of feet
of feet of natural gas daily.
When the 6,300-foot we'll has
been cleaned out, several thou
sand gallons of ethylene glycol
will be dumped into it, said COM
pany officials.
No. we'll is the largest of a
field of 70 wells from which West
Coast Transmission Co. will draw
supply for it's proposed pipe
line to Vancouver.
Engineers say when the. tenn
perature drops below zero, tech
nical problems appear in produc-
ton of Peace River gas which
contains a high percentage of
liquid carbon.
Similar problems are not en-
countered in the gas fields of
Texas, Oklahoma or elsewhere on
the continent, said engineers.

Right to Work Clause for Alaska's
Constitution Defeated In 474 Vote

; FAIRBANKS, R = An attempt
to insert fright to work" clause
in the future state of Alaska S
constitution was overwhelmingly
defeated by delegates to the con-
stitutional convention Friday,
Ala.
R. E. Robertson, of Juneau, pro-
posed to add this sentence to the
bill of rights article:
Every person shall have the
right to work for the gaining of
his livelihood"
There have been cases in Ju-
neau where labor unions have
tried to keep people from work
ing on their own houses" Robert
son said. Sixteen states have con-
stitutional provisions for the
fright to work"
Maynard. Londborg of Unala-
kleet gave the Juneau delegate
support, citing the case of a con-
struction company which i'm
ported its own help for a project
in Unalakleet.
''The natives were not hired
mostly because they, were not
union members" Londborg said.
John Hellenthal of Anchorage
said Robertson's proposal would
destroy collective bargaining, add
ing this is a device aimed at
breaking up unions"
Delegates held a long debate
over this bill of rights section:
There shall be no imprisonment
for debt, except in cases where
there is a strong presumption Of
fraud" The delegates voted, 81 to
IA, to qualify it instead with the
phrase: Except in case of alb
sconding debtors"
In an overhauling mood, the
delegates even changed the pre-
amble submitted by the bill of
rights committee. The preamble
adopted by the convention reads:
1--WE the people of Alaska, con-
scious of our heritage of political,
civil and religious liberty, CRATE
full to God and to those who
founded the nation and pioneered
this great land, reaffirm our be-
lief in government by consent of
the governed within the union of
states and do ordain and establish
this constitution for the state Of
Alaska"
There was a slight argument
over reference to God in the pre-
amble. Barrie White of Anchor
age, emphasizing that he is not
an ATHEIST, said reference to God
is not consistent with Section 5 of
the bill of rights. This section af-
firms that no law shall be made
respecting an establishment of re-
lgion or prohibiting the free ex-
ercise thereof.
