Publiulwrs A ni, z n -d •,SOVAIlld (I,>,w, maul. Port OfTicq prpt,. Ottawa NEW POWER PROJECT AT NIAGARA VISITED A tour of the construction of huge new Sir Adam Beck-Niag Generating 'Station No. 2 was ria on Saturday by representatives over thirty newspapers and rad stations of the Ontario Hydro We Central Region. Robert 11. Satin vers, Hydro Chairman, personal conducted the tour. The tremendous enterprise w begun in the spring of 1951 and is estimated the first stage will b completed by 1954 producing 700,00 horsepower. By ,1957 the full cap city of 1,200,000 will be reache This is expected to mark the la power development on the. Canadis side of the river. Two of the largest undergroun tunnelsin the world will bring weter from two miles above the falls, u der the city of Niagara Falls for distance of 5% miles, emerging o the other side of the city where th water will flow in an open canal t the new power plant at Queensto The estimated •cost of the projec is $300,000,000. Three camps have been built, ca Table of housing 3,000 men, eac camp being provided with all th latest modern conveniences an hospital. Many details of the planning an construction were explained to th visitors during the lunch at the ea feteria of Camp No. 2. The Chair man, Mr•. Saunders, spoke, also R M. McKenzie, Regional' Manager ft: West Central Region; J. Blay, Director of Public Relations and Will. Hogg, Assistant Resider Engineer. •During the afternoon M Hogg. and ,Keith Scott of the Publi Relations Department, aceompanie the two busses on a trip along th entire route of the great. power pro jest; explaining details as they wen along. In the evening a receptio was held in the Rainbow loom o the Brock Hotel overlooking th Niagara Falls and river. The visitors were impressed b the crowds of tourists everywhere There was discussion about plan for preserving the beauty of th falls and remedial work that will g hand in band with the new Powe project. If nature is allowed to tak its course, in time the ,calls wi wear away and ,become rapids. B1' withdrawing some of the water fro the centre and sides, the river cur- rents can be directed to .best ad vantage and slow up erosion. Before construction was started the engineers used miniature models to study the flow of water and were able to save much time and money in planning to get best results. Work goes on 24 hours a day six days a week in boring the tun- nels. The rest of the work operates eighteen hours a day, five days a week. The towers on the five shafts down to the tunnel look like mine heads, and are, indeed, mining equipment. Boring goes in opposite directions from each shaft. The' construction engineers enjoy being asked "what happens if the various tunnel sec- tions don't meet up?" Pointing to themselves they smilingly say: "somebody is going to get heck if they don't meet". A fleet ,sof twenty -ton Euclid trucks takes away the rock removed from the tunnels. Tires on some of .the powerful rock -moving equipment cost up to $5000 each. The busses went down a new con- struction road cut in the face .of the gorge for 1% miles, coming to the edge of the wwaterbelow'tfhe site of the new power house. With plans being made for a large power plant. across the river by the United States, it is expected the world's greatest production of electrical energy plants will be concentrated at this point. Water from the tun- nels, after Bowing. through the open canal for two miles will pour down the 300 -foot cliff in giant penstocks to turn the turbines of the generat- -ors. Representatives of the press of Goderich, Clinton and Seaforthwte�e accompanied on the trip by Mr. A. M. Knight, manager of the Ontario Hydro rural office at 'Clinton. Chairman Saunders lauded the "fine work being done by construc- tion staffs -of both the .Commission and its contractors who are pushing forward with incredible speed one of the most complex engineering jobs ever undertaken by the Com- mission." "Availability of this new power as soon as possible is vital to the people' of Ontario," said Mr. Saun- ders. • . He pointed out that the power de- mands in the Province are oontinu- ing to spiral and that "even with the completion of Sir Adam Beck No. 2, which is the largest power de- velopment the Commission has ever undertaken, we will have to be ready with additional sources �of. power]' Mr. Saunders said, "In vile of the magnitude of all . the Commis= sion's undertakings, the rapidly in- creasing demand for electric power in -Southern Ontario ,makes further planning imperative.

But, as the scenic grandeur of Nia- gara Falls must be preserved, it is doubtful if further major develop- ments will be permitted beyond those on both sides of the river for which authority has now been given. "This leaves the St. Lawrence River as the only remaining major waterpower resource available to .Southern Ontario. "Applications from Canada and the United States are now before the International Joint Commission requesting approval of this 2,200,- 000 horsepower development whose output will .be equally shared by Ontario and New York State. 1f approval is given, authorities will be designated to carry out the project. Ontario Hydro has already been named as the Canadian appointee, and if any other than federal au- thority is named by the United States, it is understood that no fur- ther reference to Congress will be required. "As a substitute for this water- power resource, the Commission would have to construct more fuel - electric plants, whose •operation costs, as Ontario has to import all its fuel, would obviously necessitate a substantial increase in customer rates." CROP IMPROVEMENT TWILIGHT MEETING The Annual Twilight, Meeting of the Huron County Soil and Crop Im- provement Association will be held at the Exeter District High School, Exeter, on Tuesday evening, Aug- ust 26th.

All m me bens were present, except W,,. T. Teall, who was unavoidably absent. Representatives of North Side United Church, Drs. Harburn and MacLennan and Jas. M. Scott were Present to discuss the use of the Sunday School room as a classroom, tealporarily, until the new school is ready for occupancy. The meeting was advised that the Presbyterian Church also would cooperate and it was decided to utilize the Presby- terian Church school room as the required Public School classroom, with the privilege of using the North Side Church Sunday School Room when the other was not avail- able; perhaps this will oeeur 3 or 4 afternoons a month. Financial ar- rangements were made that the Public School Board would defray the costs and be held responsible for damage. The Building and Property Com- mittee reported minor repairs car- ried out on the present school and that the annual cleanup had been completed, although not as exten- sive as asual with the thought of keeping down costs. It was also re- ported that the General Contractor for the new school reports a slight hold-up on the supply of aluminum frames for the window sills, but that construction was proceeding according to schedule. Maintenance accounts were passed in the amount. of $78.70 and building accounts totalled $15,594.$4 for July. The Supply and Furnishing Com- mittee passed accounts for 1370.69 and preliminary arrangements were rade fox• moving furnishings to the c l as sr o o m 50 the' Presbyterian Church and to obtain pupils desks required in the present school. Some correction was made on the order •for pupils desks for the new school and the Committee is to ar- range for the purchase of required teachers desks, through local repre- entatives. In the absence of Mr. Eastman details of the opening of school for the • Fall term were not arranged, however it was decided the comnnit- tee.eould make any necessary ar- rangements. There was some dis- cussion as to rates to be charged by the Board for pupils of non -rate- payers, further details being, re- quired, it was decided to hold a Committee meeting by Wednesday of next week when a rate could be decided upon and published. Mrs. J. A. MacDonald was engaged as the additional teacher required on the staff for the coming term. DUBLIN • MRS.

HUNGRY REPORTER SHOOS CHAIRMAN A hungry newspaperman from Hamilton way was busy plying his knife and fork like a power shovel last Saturday in the Hydro camp cafeteria at Niagara. When a man sat down beside him on the bench. he didn't look who the newcomer was, but good naturedly shouted: "You can't sit there!" and went right on eating. So the man got up and went off elsewhere. There was an exchange of looks of surprise and amusement among others at the table. Finally, a Hydro official asked: "Did you know who that was?" "No, but he can't sit here." "That was the chairman, Mr. Saunders:" The reporter for the first time stopped eating. "There's tar under that napkin on the table," he explained. :How a spot of tar found its way into the shining, immaculate dining hall no one could imagine, but there it was.) Apologies were made and accept- ed with good humour. Later, a Perth county editor said be believed the Hydro chairman enjoyed the little incident, and told of 'when Mr. Saunders was invited to speak at the opening of a new hall at Monkton. Mr. Saunders had showed up be- fore the meeting and got talking to some of the men around. No one recognized ,him, and first thing they were telling him what was wrong with Hydra, Someone noticed him. jotting down notes and asked if he were interest- ed in Hydro. There was embarrassment when they learned they had been sound- ing off to the Hydro chairman him- self, 'That's all right," Mr. Saunders had assured them. '"It is the first time I have been able to get that in- formation and it is what I wanted to know,"
