Treaaury Secretary John Snyder painted n. promising picture o! the general economic rltuation in a speech at Chicago and he termed the current shlit ircm a. seller's to a buyers market “both helptul and hea-ltlw."

"With the return to normal buyers’ markets," he said, "I be- lieve that we may look forward to one or the greatest period: c! bus- tness development in our indus- try."

As he was spealdng. there were a number or cutback announce- looms.

WINNXPEG. April, 10 —-(OP) - A young selkirlr. Mien, diver has been working 22 teet- undetr the ice o! the Red River here, repair- ing sewer mains damaged in last sprlnfs floods. _

Here is his advice to anyone rho may have ambitions intr the ob: " ‘i; do it!"

Here are-diver BIA-old Isittleb reasons: it's cold (M delireee in the water); uncomfortable this suit he: a slight leak) and has- ‘ardoua (there's a. danger his air intake valves may breeze).

Ml’. Little is a. diver for the ted- erai government. He he: spent some time groping around the bed o! the river. repairing breaks in mains.

Holes have been cut in the iti- inoh ioe stir-face to allow him to get down to his work.

‘Pump Air By Band

Diving under the ice. in the manner o! Sir Hubert Wilkins. famed Arctic submarine explorer. may seem dangerous. But the greatest hazard occurs when the diver is on the surface.

Below the suriace, with the temperature oi the surrounding water 35 degrees, the divel-‘s air- supply comes freely. But on the surface the air valves on his hel- met have to be heated to prevent them from treezing.

A: a further precaution, air is pumped to Mr. Little by hand. Divers do not use electric air pumps because oi the possibility oi a power breakdown.

Being under water for two hours repairing the three lZ-lnch pipes on the river bed is no fec- ord for Mr. Little. He once stay- ed down five iliours.

But then he is a chip oi! the old block. His lather used to be a diver. Hc worked in and knew his way around Vlinnipegs rivcr bcds pretty well. Mir. Little senior spent 30.13am as a. divor. Now his son has taken on the work.

'I‘-he son termed the river bcn “six Xeet or indescribable muck." Otticials or the Greater Winnipeg sanitary District say the repairs are necessary in part because of last year's great llood pressure on the pipes.

A relic of the floods has been found on the river bed - a tree 14 inches tldck embedded in the pipes by the pressure of the flood

waters.
