EARL D. ,McILWAFN 1 .THE GODERICH-SIGNAL-STAR fr- j A group of Ontario weekly newspaper``editors pause for picture by Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission during tour of St. Lawrence River Power Project. House in background was rem oved in its entirety by house moving machine seen, in picture. St. - Lawrence Power Project On Schedule Officers of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association, accom- panied by James A. Blay, Ontario Hydro's Director of Information, visited the St. Lawrence Power Project on September 26. The inspection of the power- house and as.sociated works by this group coincided with some of the most significant advances made since the 6: -t s d was turned in August, 1954, to mark the start of construction on the Power Project. Excellent • progress has been made to date on all phaes of the work. By mid-September of this year. concrete placing on the On- tario Hydro powerhouse re'tchr*i the 75 percent mark with over 740,000 cubic yards of concrete having already been placed on this principal structure. The installa- tion of nlechanical parts for the 16 units is continuing apace and at the present time turbine pit liners have been' installed as far as 'unit 11 and speedrings to unit 12. One of the most unusual oper- ations undertaken by Ontario Hydro in connection with the St. Lawrence Power Project is the Re- habilitation Program, involving the relocation of some 6,500 persons living in a 20,000 -acre area which be -af ected" by the flooding operation. Large house -moving machines, capable of lifting up to 200 tons, are being u§ed to relocate homes and to' date 465 houses have been moved. In addition, Hydro has undertaken to provide complete water, sewage and electrical ser- vices in each new town, and also churches, schools and public build- ings wherever they are required. An important milestone in re- gard to the Rehabilitation Program was reached'in August of this year when house -moving operations were completed in Cornwall town- ship for the new town of Long Sault. To date, the entire Re- habilitation operation is more than 90 percent completed. Also finished recently was a new 40 mile double track railway line between Cornwall and Cardinal. This diversion replaces 'an old sec- tion of_kie in.,a,in_Ganadian-National Railways' line which was area to be affected by the flooding operation. Similarly, 35 miles of main highway diversion are being built to replace part of No. 2 High- way which will be affected. This work is progressing favgrably. The interest shown in the St. Lawrence Power Project by resi- dents of Ontario, the other Can- adian provinces, theUnited States and countries abroad is indicated by the fact that, to date this year, more than 1d ,000 persons have visited Hydro's information head- quarters at . Cornwall to take ad- vantage of the Cammission's daily bus tours of the powerhouse area. In addition, over half a 'million visitors have viewed -the project from Hydro's various lookout points. Many thousands of others have visited points of interest over the large project area and, during .June and July of this year alone, some 7,000 toured the rehabilita- tion.. area. in Alexandra Hospital cn Saturday, ctober 12.

This vote Impressions of a protest meet - DUNLOP'S 1 DRUG -ST 1 presents. THE RE RI °,-- IN ALL L can be oh;a:ncd if Ontui:o 1 Producers apresent a sufficiently large number of signatures to a petition to the Farm Products alai ke:ing Boa.1 w.ho then tnay tequest a vote of the producer's concerned. One of the speakers -suggested that the lawyer retained by the Hog Producers received a hand- some fee. I am quite sure that the fee from the Hog Producers was rOuoh less per hour than this same lawyer receives in his private practice. I am also quite sure that the good living he enjoys is largely due to the fact that he belongs to a compulsory organization. I have often heard farmers com- plain of the high salaries that school teachers enjoy at the mo- ment. This again is largely due to .the fact that they belong to a compulsory organization. The sec- retary of the school board is oblige ed by law to deduct this fee froM the November cheque of each teacher employed and forward it direct to the Treasurer of the Teachers Federation. - The_ other point .of interest to me was the very loud protests of the truckers 'who were present at this meeting of Hog Producers. What have truckers to lose by this marketing plan? There will be just as many hogs to transport and they will have to be taken just -as far. Trucking is usually on a load mile basis so I see little loss to the trucker. There will be some say -:ng in transportation in- the utilization of 'larger trucks from assembly point to plant. In this modern age I can see no reason why the farmer should be obliged to use a large number of small trucks if large ones can haul cheaper. After all the contractor supplies his men with bulldozers not shovels. BIG BERRIES NOW B EN MILLER. Oct. 15. --While Mrs. Robert McClure, of Benmiller, KINGSBRIDGE 4,4 QUICK CANADIAN 41UIZ 1.
