THE DOUGLAS POINT Nuclear Power Station, Canada's first full-scale nuclear electric generating plant, is ap- proaching completion. The paint, built by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited with the co-operation of Ontario Hydro, will be completed this year and will go into oper- ation early in 1966. Full power of 200,000 kilowatts is expected by mid -1966 and this schedule will make Douglas Point one of the largest operating nuclear power plants on this continent.—A.E.C. Ltd. Photo. FITTING THE TOP COVERS for the steam turbine at the Douglas Point Nuclear Power Station is now being carried out. When this fitting has been completed, the covers will be removed to permit installation of the large rotor which can be seen in the picture.—A.E.C. Ltd. Photo. THE CANDU REACTOR at Douglas Point will be fuelled by two identical fuelling machines one of which feeds fresh fuel into one end of the reactor while the other receives spent fuel.

Douglas Point Nuclear Plant Fitted Like a Fine Watch Along with a group of other newspapermen, this writer had the opportunity of making a tour of the Douglas Point nu- clear power station half -way between Kincardine and Port Elgin last Friday. Fantastic is an over-worked word, but in this case it is suitable. ,It wasn't our first visit to t4 station, but in the inter- val big things have happened. Like others in the area, we have frequently travelled to the Point to take a look at the progress of construction, which, from the outside, hasn't chang- ed a great deal in many months It's what has happened on the inside of the plant, which only a limited number of peo- ple see, that is so startling. While the idea of a nuclear potter station is basically sim- ple, in that the atomic reactor takes the place of a coal-fired furnace to develop steam, to be converted to electrical energy --the application is al- most beyond the comprehen- Ladies Attend Dist. Annual LAKELET-Eight members of Lakelet Women's Institute at- tended the 63rd annual meet- ing of East Huron Women's In- stitute which was held at Moles- worth last Thursday.

Mrs. William Giles of Lath - beth was a holiday visitor at the horns of Mr.and Mrs,Jack Ferguson. The telephone was installed at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Krumland last week, in the former Lakelet school. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Buchan an of Toronto and Miss June Wright of Kitchener were week- end visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Gor- don Wright. Miss Marlene Wylie of Guelph spent the week -end at her home near Lakelet. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Beath of Weston visited with relatives in the area over the holiday week -end. Mr. Jack Hardy and Mr. Stuart Moore of Toronto, the latter a former Royal Bank Man- ager of Clifford, visited at the home of Mr. George Inglis Tues- day and Wednesday of last week Mr. Donald McArthur of Ux- bridge visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mac Inglis last week. Holiday week -end visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Webber were Mr. and Mrs. Egan Fehr, Mrs. Matilda Keetch and Miss Boris Cooke, all of Oshawa. Sunday guests at the same home were Mr. and Mrs, James Pritchard of Palmer- ston, Mr.and Mrs. Chester Cooke of Clifford and Mr. La- verne Webber of Barrie.

Lloyd took the Grand Howl, which was led by Terry Reid of the White Six and "0 Canada" was sung, The Sixes were given one minute to get ready for inspec- tion. All Sixes were good but the White and Yellow sixes were a little better, so got five points extra. After inspection the Pack was split into four teams and went outside to play soccer. Akela M. Fridenburg present- ed Ron Orien, Doug Mason, 'Terry Reid,Murray Leggatt and Gene Porter with First Aid badges which they earned by passing a test last week. Team Player badges were presented to Bill Brown and Tom Lee; First Year Service Star to Steven Maxwell; Pet Keeper badges to Charles Bondi, who has a cat and Bill Kennedy who has a dog. Akela told the boys what had to be done for their Cyclist badge and went over the High- way Safety rules. The boys split up to work on star work and TOm Lee passed Compass and Ron Orien passed Second Star Knots. The meeting closed in the usual manner. Any Cubs working on their second Star who want to pass tests during the week are asked to get in touch with any of the Ieadets. SAILING REGATTA The Provincial Council for Ontario will be host for the fifth National Sailing Regatta of the Boy Scouts of Canada in I Toronto from August 6-14. The races will be held at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club on the shores of Lake Ontario. Crews (tom all ten provinces are ex- pected to compete with guest crews from tate United Kingdom; United States and Bermuda. sion of the layman. The equipment is so massive it is hard to describe, and at the same time so precise in its manufacture as to favorably compare with a fine watch. Added to all the mechanical apparatus is a complexity of automatic control that must vie with that used in space re- search. John Hammond, of Ontario Hydro, who will manage the station, told us that when the plant is operating, sometime in 1966, it will take only six technicians to oversee its nor- mal operation. These six will be in charge of a plant costing some $80,000,000, which will be turning out 200,000 kilo- watts of power, or enough to supply all the needs of a city the size of London, Ontario. Actually there will be about 90 people on the operating staff who will work in shifts, some doing specialized work that is required beyond the nor- mal day-by-day manufacture of electrical power. The station is so completely automated that the all basic controls for the reactor are lo- cated in a separate building, which, among other things, houses a computer that will keep track of vast amounts of technical detail and wam the operators if anything in the various systems go out of whack. SEVERAL BUILDINGS Work at the present time is going on full blast to complete the actual reactor vault, its fuelling machinery, and pump- ing systems. These are in the now -familiar round domed re- actor building. In the adjoin- ing structure crews are busily installing the control panels and the computer. In another part of this vast structure are the steam turbines and thehuge electrical generator which will feed its tremendous output of energy into Ontario Hydro's provincial grid. This year John Roland will be acting as chief guide at the plant and will be assisted by three other university men who will be at the station during the tourist season, A revised movie of the entire operation will be shown to the visitors at the theatre which is operated in connection with the infor- mation centre. In connection with the tour- iSts coming to the Station, it was interesting to note that since the information centre opened in 1982 over 196,000 persons have visited the site. The record was 2,200 on one Sunday. DONNYBROOK Mr. and Mrs. Lyal Mulhern and Reta of Chatham and Miss Bernadette Boyle of London visited over the holiday with Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Boyle and family.

She rushed out to find that a neighbor had run over and killed her husband's favorite dog. "Gosh, I'm sorry," the nei- ghbor groaned, "but I guess I'll have to tell him. Where is he?" The wife replied that her husband was in the field, and the neighbor started off to find him. "Better break it to him easy - like," the wife called. "First tell him it was one of the kids."
