"Doll-Sized Baby 'Doing Fine' In Incubator:
KITIMAT'S TINIEST BABY is doing well in 85 degree temperature of Kitimat Hospital's incubator. Born a week ago Monday, the three-pound five ounce infant is the first child of Mr. and Mrs. John Deans, Anderson Creek. She's been named Dallas - "after the best city in the biggest state in the US because sehs' the tiniest baby in town," said her mother. Neither hospital authorities nor parents have any idea how long the infant will be in the incubator. "It depends on how fast she reaches five pounds," her mother said."

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.
