...Official Register of Harvard College for the term lists the average rent at $115, but when I signed up for a room the cheapest one I could apply for as a non-scholarship student was $137.50. Thus my roommate and I pay $275 for four months leasage of a living room, two sleeping nooks, and a semi-private bath. That is about $69 a month rent-more than several married friends of mine pay for four room apartments in privately owned buildings much newer than the century old Yard dormitories.

...Island, about 50 miles upcoast from Vancouver. The necessary fluxes-limestone and silica-were near by. Electric heat would melt the ore; fuel would be required only as a reducing and carbonizing agent. A primary advantage: power costs were estimated at less than one mill per kwh, probably the cheapest in Canada. Plans were to handle 130 tons of ore from Texada daily, to turn out 65 tons of "high quality iron cheaply and economically," with the initial output earmarked for B.C.'s burgeoning postwar industry (TIME...
