Nazareth:
Hter Cent~rie5,
Ghe Chosen City
Q Growing 1lodern

The advent Of modern conven-
fences is gradually making a vast
change in the homepIace of Jesus.
Nazareth, scene Of many miracles,
has Witnessed a new one-water,
in plentiful supply.
Since long before the time of
Christ, Nazarene women had to
carry water in earthen jugs. Now,
such sources as the famed 'Foun-
tain Of Our Lady Mary" will be
needed only as shrineS recalling
the city's historic past
The water for the most predom-
inantly Arab city in Israel is piped
in from a Jewish farm settlement
in the Valley Of Esdraelon. The
12-inch pipe carries it to a summit
overlooking Nazareth where a juno
ton with municipal pipelines al
lows distribution throughout the
city.
Nazareth, the chosen city and
one Of Christendoms hottest places,
was once SO insignificant that the
term 'Nazarene" was applied to
Jesus Christ in derision. And, long
before the birth of Christ, the city
was the target Of a variety of in
vaders.
In the Christian era alone, Naza-
reth has been conquered many
times. The city was wrecked by
Saladin in the Moslem
wars Of the Middle Ages. In the
same period the Christian popula-
ton was masS2cred by Bibars, the
Egyptian sultan and general. Some
of the historic churches have been
RACED and rebuilt as many as three
times.
Less than five miles away was
the once thriving city of Sepphoris
where the Romans put down des-
perate revolt of the Jews led by
Judas the Galillean when Jesus
was a boy. Herod Antipas, son of
Herod the Great, rebuilt Sepphoris,
and there is speculation that the
young Carpenter may have aided
in the reconstruction.

The total cost of the project, esti-
mated at S2l3 million, was to be
assumed entirely by private capital
advanced by the four local electric
utilities which organized the Pa
cific Northwest Power Company;
Washington Water Power. Pacific

As with Idaho Power in the
earlier case, Pacific Northwest
Power was eager to start construc-

in order to meet the threat of
critical power shortage by 1860.
And like Idaho Power. PNP ran

Northwest Area
Marks Arrival
OF NaturalCa

Portland, Ore-A big blue gas
flame turned on by Mrs. America
has given the Pacific Northwest
vivid and official notice that it has
been linked to the Nations vast
natural gas resources.
At ceremonies on Sauvies Island
in the Columbia river a 1,487-mile
pipeline from the San Juan Basin
in New Mexico was joined to the
Portland Gas and Coke Compay's
distribution system serving Oregon
and Washington.
Howard Pyle, deputy assistant
to President Eisenhower and a
former Governor of Arizona, told
an audience of 500 business, gov
eminent and community leaders at
the ceremony that with the intro
duction of natural gas, "Oregon
and Washington can look forward
to phenomenal industrial expan-
sion." lid
When the $4OO-million natural
gas pipeline project eventually is
completed at The Canadian border
der-with feeder operations Of gas
also available from Canadian fields
the Pacific Northwest will have
virtually doubled its power poten-
tial. The natural gas supply here
will then exceed the energy out
put of all the hydro-electric pro-
jects in the three northwest states.
The northwest is the last major
geographical and population area
in the U. S. to have access to
natural gas. The main pipeline was
brought over mountains, deserts,
plains, rocky wastelands and irri-
gated farm lands-across Colorado,
Wyoming, Idaho and finally down
the old Oregon trail blazed by 18th
century American pioneers.
Co-hosts were Ray c. Fish,
chairman, Pacific Northwest Pipe
line Corp, and c. H. Gueffroy,
president, Portland Gas and Coke
Company. The gas industry was
president, and c. s. Stackpole,
represented by Dean H. Mitchell,
