claiming to speak for farmers
and none of them with the
support and finances to do the
job."
A question and answer period
followed.
Mr. Durand was asked to ex-
plain OFU Plan A and the other
proposal in CFO. Ile said if
farm union members believe in
the recommendation of the
OFU, that is Plan A, they should
go out and vote according to
those recommendations.
He also mentioned the fact
that he had attended the meet-
ing of the legislatures' committ-
ee on Agriculture and Food in
Toronto, May. 1 and that all the
political parties had supported
the new enabling legislation,
allowing fanners a check -off if
farmers vote in favour of this.
This new legislation is very
similar to legislation that other
groups operated under and they
are doing well.

lifetime to set up a strong organ-
ization and it is up to each and
every one of us to go out and
vote whenever the vote conies
up in June, " Mr. Durand con-

of future space requirements -
of the board and the school.

leased for a two year terns at
$2, 506 per year with the board
to stake its own renovations.
Originlal offer from the hospital
board for the quarters, made
earlier this year, v,sas a rental
of $9, 000 with an extra $1, 000
for air conditioning, if required.
Tltc hospital board would have
undertaken reModelling.
While tenders for the work at
Cl ISS had been received, neither
the mines of the bidders nor the
amount of the tenders were re-
vealed by the board.
Work of renovating, at CI ISS
had been carried out in part with
the relocation of a laboratory at
the cost of about $3, 000.

No Water Moving
At Niagara Falls
Visitors to Niagara Falls this
summer are in for a double
attraction.
They'll see the waters of
Horseshoe Falls taking their
usual spectacular 170 -foot plunge
And they'll have a once-in-a-
lifetitne opportunity to view
the American Falls bereft of
water.
Dewatering of the American
Falls is part of an international
study to determine what can he
/clone to retard erosion and
beautify the cataract. Work is
scheduled to start June 2 on a
rock and earthen cofferdam at
the head of the channel leading
to the American Falls. It will
extend from the,U. S. mainland
to the east end of.Goat Island,
the land mass that separates
Niagara's two major cataracts.
By June 16 the American
Falls will be dry, and dewater-
ing will continue until Decem-
ber. The horseshoe Falls is not
involved in the survey. Work
was done on it in the 1950's.
The American Falls was the
scene of major rockslides in
1031 and 1054 which deposited
huge mounds of rock at the
cataract's base, with smaller
slides occurring from time to
time.
Once the cofferdam is installed,
geologists and engineers will
probe the river bed and the
face of tlic cliff of the Aincricatl
Falls to determine what remed-
ial action should -be taken.
Visitors will then have the
opportunity to walk onto the dry
river bed normally covered by
Niagara River waters on their
last tumultuous surge to the
American Falls. Arrangements
arc now being made to permit
this unusual exploration.
Tice project is under direction
of the International Joint Comm -
