Photo showing power distribution crew is shown above erecting new double-arm aluminum light standards along the centre island at the Haisla-Kuldo intersection. The standards, some double, others single, all equipped with mercury vapor lamps will light Haisla from the intersection to the bridge, Commercial for its full length and Kuldo from Haisla to Columbia. Bases for the standards were installed in late November but the poles, which were made elsewhere, did not arrive in Kitimat until last week.

James McNay was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, on January 31, 1907. Between 1951 and 1953, he worked in the payroll department for Alcan. He had to leave his wife Effie and his two young daughters, Margaret and Diane, aged 6 and 5 in 1951, at home in Surrey, B.C., during his 3-4 month stints in Kitimat. To fill some of his free time and show his family where he was and what Kitimat was like, he spent many hours walking in the area with a 35mm Kodak camera. He photographed the scenic beauty of the area and parts of the construction of both the smelters and the town. He died in Surrey on August 7, 1983.
