Korean children whose meagre --Central Press Canadian A Rirport Construction Spurred 1952 Engineering Projects WASHINGTON -- The expanding world of flight pushed construction work to the ends of the earth and taxed the ingenuity of engineers of many nationalities in 1952, the National Geographic Society re- ports: in its annual engineering roundup. An outstanding feat was construc- tion of a great air base, capable of handling the largest and fastest aircraft, at Thule, Greenland, only 930 miles from the North Pole. The Thule base, a joint project of the United States and Denmark, cost some $263,000,000 and invglved such problems as building heavy air-strips and hangars on perman- ently frozen ground, weatherproof- ing of buildings for temperatures as low as 60 below zero, and dev- elopment of electronic equipment to guide aircraft near the magnetic pole through skies constantly flick- ering with the northern lights. Designed as a military base, Thule also is of great importance to commercial aircraft. Two Scan- danavian transports flying from California to northern Europe pion- eered a top-of-the-world route via Thule for the airlines. CANADA BUILDS BASE Overshadowed by Thule was an- other Greenland airbase, built by the Danish government to serve the lead mines at Mestersvig. Can- ada also was active in northern airport construction, carving out an all-weather jet base three mles northest of North Bay, Ontario. A new field was opened at St. John's, New Brunswick. Several were open- ed in western Germany. Pittsburgh dedicated a $33,000,000 air terminal. Airport construction or improve-. ment also took place at Tampa, Florida; Chrlotte Amalie, Virgin Islands; Montego Bay, Jamaica; the Coco. Islands in the Indian Ocean: Sarawak. Bornec; To- roro, Uganda, and Ladakh, Kash- mir. Another manifestation of mid- twentieth century progress was ex- pansion -of pipe lines. One of the most novel yet constructed was completéd at Copper Cliff, Ontario, where niclel - copper ore con- centrates are pumped like petrol- eum for seven and one-half miles from mine to reduction plant. PIPELINES EXPAND Oil pipelines spread through the Middle East, one of the great re- servoirs of crude oil, King Feisal of Iraq dedicated one of the longest, a tube of steel running from Kir- kuk, near the Iran-Iraq border, to the Mediterranean at Haifa. In the United States a line tap- ping the new northern fields began carrying oil from Wyoming to Il- linois. Another new line takes pet- roleum for 952 miles between Wink, Texas, and Norwalk, California. fhe New : Jersey Turnpike was including newly finished lines from |6 Sarnia to Toronto, Ontario, and fiom the shipping uead ai Mont real to various points in Ontaro and Quebec. In Italy a new 93-mile line was fihished between the Lig- urian port of Savona and new Am- erican refineries at Trecate. Other new refineries also mark- ed the growth of the petroleum industry. Anglo-Iranian rebuilt its war-destroyed plant at Dunkirk, France, and the same company put a refinery on. what was once swampland at the point where Brit- ain's Medway river joins the Thames. A group of Texas oilmen com- pleted one of the longest .deep- water crossings ever attempted with a natural gas line when they finished a 6,600-foot pipe under the narrows of New York harbor. A $15,000,000 gas line was built in Venezuela, and in Argentina, a 1,000-mile natural gas pipeline was laid from the oil fields of Como- dora Rivadavia north 'to the homes and industries of Buenos Aires, Highway comstruction in 1952 ranged from new roads through the earth's wildernesses to multi- millicn-dollar toll road exvansion. An extension to connect the fam- ous Pennsylvanid Turnpike with M m toiling on a road from Sinkiang gi a w started, while the final nine-mile section of the Jersey superhigh- way was completed to the George Washington bridge. Other toll turn- pike work was finished in Okla- homa and Colorado. Provincetown, Massachusetts Santa Monica, California.

Traf- fic began flowing through the Nor- folk-Portsmouth tunnel under Vir- nia's Elizabeth River. The automotive world did not monopolize tunnel building entire- ly. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road opened the world's largest, but not the longest, rail tunnel near Bluefield. West Virginia, plus smaller tunnel near Clarksburg, West Virginia. Other rail lines bur- rowed underground as subways ere built: in Stockholm, Rome and Brussels.

Communist China claimed com- pletion of the 300-mile Chunking- Chengtu railway, and another Iron' Curtain country, Poland, reported important rail electrification. Mex- ico completed a new wide-gauge line from Mexico City to Oaxaca. Three new long distance over- water bridges opened in the eas- tern United States.

Near the lower end of the Chesapeake the $9,000,000, 3,- 750-foot George P. Coleman mem- orial span over Virginia's York River speeded coastal highway traffic. A new Delaware River bridge between Trenton, New Jer- sey and Morrisville, Pennsylvania was dedicated late in the year. Dedication of a new bridge over the Mur river between Austria and Yugoslavia further linked those two nations. The Belgians rushed work on a modern span over the Meuse at Namur. Canadian en- gineers replaced a temporary structure crossing the Donjek Riv- er on-the Alaskan highway and the US. Army opened a high-level span over the Imjin in Korea, New hydroelectric power pro- jects went into operation in Nor- way, Sweden, Italy, Austria, Rom- ania, Turkey, Scotland, €olombia, France, and Wales. In the United States big dams and hydroelectric projects were completed in Arizona and New York State. Coal power plants went into operation in Ro- mania and Singapore. Russia claimed completion of a ship canal connecting the Volga and Don- Rivers, making possible deepwater navigation between the White and Baltic Seas on the north and the Black and Caspian Seas to the south, The Dutch opened an important new canal linking Amsterdam and the Rhine, and Colombia linked Cartegena and Cal amar by canal, Two southern states dedicated new Atlantic port facilities. In Sa vannah the $15,000,000 Georgia State Docks and Warehouse Sys- tem opened and North Carolina dedicated a second $5,000,000 deep . sea terminal at Wilmington. In the New York area a new banana terminal opened at Weehawken, New Jersey, and three immense concrete pier boxes were sunk to position at Manhattan's Pier 57. Overseas the Dominican Repub- lic, Ireland and Sierra Leone com- Bleted new deepwater port facili- ties. The first steel flowed from the huge new Fairless Works of United States Steel in Bucks County, Pen- nsylvania, and the Aluminum Coms pany of America dedicated a $45, 000,000 smelting plant at Wenat- chee, Washington. In South Africa the Iscor Vanderbijlpark Steel Works started operation. The expansion of steel and alum- inum capacities rounded out the circle of engineering, for these metals, produced in ever increas ing ouantities. are essential to ev- ery project, from the steel in earth-moving machinery to the aluminum in the airplanes touch- - ing down at new bases. -- [] DAVIDSON'S SHOE STORE ANNUAL DAVIDSON'S BIG ANNUAL MID-WINTER SALE YES!
