Parkade dream fades for Medicine Hat as costs loom
A local survey finds downtown parkades unviable due to high land and construction costs. Calgary Parking Authority estimates 4 million dollars for a 500-vehicle structure, with operating costs around 0.5 million annually and required fees near 85 dollars monthly. Lethbridge shows a debt-free model from a 265-stall project, but Medicine Hat faces heavy taxpayer burden and uncertain provincial help.

Public display marks first in-flight cruise missile test
The Navy Tomahawk cruise missile flew from an A-6 at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, testing ground-to-air defenses and impressing Defense Secretary Harold Brown. The pilotless drone completed six loops over 20 to 30 seconds each, flying as low as 100 feet. Brown said the display shows US strength amid Soviet growth, with production planned for 1980 and deployment to start in 1982, costing about $3 billion for 3,000 missiles.
