They are driven by rain and snow Which fill Lake St. John and pour down the Saguenay River. The water is channelled to a man-made lake on top of a hill. Then it rushes down tunnels chiselled through solid rock to dask against turbines like the model at which the boy is peering— hut weighing 50 torts. The turbines drive generators. The electricity they generate speeds to nearby Arvida. There it relines shining aluminum out of bauxite from British Guiana. Over 1000 Canadian companies form aluminum into all sorts of useful articles. All this means work for Canadians.
