:As .a guest of the Ontario Hydro
lt,wap 'nit privilege to tour the St.
Lawrence Power Project on Thurs-
dayof last week" to see the develop-
hients which have taken place
since ink last visit to the site at
this, time last year.
Along with other members of the
executive of the Ontario . Weekly
Newspapers Association we coin.- , . . , , • • meneed a conducted tour at Corn-
Wall, 'near which town the actual
generating station is being con-
etructed.
e
: The power project, which is being
developed in co-operation with •the
International Seaway authority, is
simply a plan to utilize the poten-
tial -power of the St. Lawrence
Ely& as it drops over a serieg pf
rapids stretching 37 uailes:,. trout,
Iroquois at. • he west to Cornwa
at the east. The ,plan, as We /lave
said; is, simple, but its execution is
cemplex, almost beyond the com-
prehension of, the layman.
' To simplify once more, the main
features of the program are the
Construction of a dam and coupled
generating station' near •the bity of
doenviall,' 'stretching across the St.
Lawrence. from ,the Canadian shore
to' a-large island in the river, This
clarri Will raise the water level
over• an immense area of the river
basin, backing up. ,to Iroquois,
where another huge concrete dam
is • being 'constructed. for the sole,
purpose of controlling the amount
of water which is released from
the Great Lakes into the St. Law,
rence.'
The topographical features of the
river basin and the islands in the
stream are such that tremendous
earth-moving and dyke-building
programs have had to be carried
out at the Same time. Channels
have been gouged through some of
the islands. At other places the
points have been taken completely
off headlands and the stream so
widened to reduce the rapidity of
flow. Miles of dyke have been
thrown up at the- eastern end of
the area to be flooded in order to
protect the city of Cornwall and
other commuaitie8 in that eee'ion.

Moved. Whole Towns
One of the major problems, of
course, has arisen from the fact
that when the level of tire river
rises behind the Cornwall darn,
vast areas along the Canadian
shore will be inundated,' including
two or three good-sized towns and
eev.eral 'smaller villages.
At the outset Ontario Hydro un-
dertook the responsibility for mov-
