"THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 46, 41948 / THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE Stewartville Hydro 3 Plant Open _- Early this fall another 60,000 kilo- 'watts (80,000 hp) will be added to the Southern Ontario System of The Hydo-Electic Power Commission of Ontario with the opening of the pew generating station at Stewart- ville, on the Madawaska River, eight miles southwest of Arnprior, Begun in the fall of 1945 and erected at an estimate dcost of $10,- 500,000, Stewartville is the third of . Hydro's post-war projects to go in- to service, It is the first step in a program designed to add 750,000 kil- owatts (1,000,000 hp) to the Com- mission's generating facilities by September, 1952, Although not of the same magnitude as other develop- ments at Des Joachims and Chen- aux on the Ottawa River, Stewart- ville will be an important factor in the Southern Ontario System when demands for power accelerate dur- ing the and winter months. The ac power site presents an awe-inspiring appearance. The sloping face of concrete rises steep- ly from the river bed, to a maximum height of 206 feet, and hridges the 1,300-foot gap between the frown- ing cliffs guarding both banks of the river. At the base of the dam, against the north bank, is the pow- erhouse where the three generating units are installed. Although this structure itself has an overall height of approximately 100 feet, roughly the equivalent of a ten-story affice building, it is dwarfed by the mas- sive face of the dam towering above it. , Great Excavation Needed The development has been erect ed at a spot where the Madawaska flows through the deeply eroded channel of a pre-glacial river. The present river has eroded down to within 40 feet of the bottom of the old valley. Due to the seamy condi- tion of the rock it was found neces- sary to make considerably greater excavations than were at first anti- cipated. Approximately 240,000 tons of rock and 225,000 of earth were excavated along with an additional 72,000 tons of earth and rock fill. 'The amount of concrete poured for the entire Stewartville job was esti- mated at 283,000 cubic yards or enough to lay a standard sidewalk, four feet wide and four inches thick, a distance of 1082 miles. Nearly 340 carloads of lumber were required for the building of the camps, forms and other construc- tion, To get to the more technical as- pects of the development, the head- works, or intake section, are located near the northerly end of the dam. Three steel penstocks, 14 feet in diameter and 190 feet long, will con- vey water to the turbines in the pow- erbiouse below, The turbines will op- , erate under a gross head of 150 feet and discharge 6,000 cubic feet of water per second. Sluiceways, con- sisting of two 35-foot stee] sluice gates, and two 14-foot stop-log slui- ces, are located on the south bank of the river, discharging into a high- water channel during flood periods. A horseshoe type diversion tunnel, 30 feet high, 30 feet wide and ap- proximately 500 feet long, was dri- ven through the rock bluff under the south bank. Upon completion of the project this tunnel will be clos- ed with steel gates and sealed off with concrete. During the construc- tion of the dam the water was di- verted through the tunnel around This Fall the power site and back to the or- iginal course of the river, 13-Mile Long Lake When the plant begins operation the flooded area above the dam will cover some 1,100 acres and extend upstream for nearly 13 miles. Two bridges, one at Burnstown, four miles above the dam, and Springs- town a few miles further upstream are being reconstructed and raised to meet the new Water level. Power from Stewartville will be delivered to the Eastern Ontario Division on 161 miles of transmis- sion line to Oshawa via Barrett Chute. The power generated wild be 60 cycle, The investment of the Commission in transmission lines and associated works will bring the total expenditure to approximately $13,900,000. Throughout the course of Stewart- ville's construction an average of 850 men have been employed at the ac- tua] site, while it is estimated that 8,000 people have depended on the project for their subsistence, Whitehall Notebook By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Sept, 16--(CP)--Cyril Os- borne, 50, bald and persistent, occu- pies a back-bench Conservative seat in the Commons as member for Lincoln, but he's in the front row of public debate on half a dozen is- sues. Pondering complaints that Bri- tons are not producing as they should in a time of economic diffi- culty, Osborne took pen in hand and wrote the Daily Telegraph: "It is no use (Chancellor) Sir Stafford Cripps talking to the work- ers about the balance of overseas payments. It means nothing to them, The real answer to Sir Staf- ford's problem is to bring some de. Shee of wholesome fear back into e. "The sooner the inefficient boss is allowed to go bankrupt instead of battening--through a trade agree- ment-- on his more progressive competitor, the better for both. The idle worker must be made to fear unemployment jgstead of reducing the output and standard of life of the willing worker." However much as they dislike Os- borne's theory that fear must be the spur, members of all parties like to speak proudly of wartime years when Britain achieved a miracle of production while enemy bombers made the night a terror and all along the coast watch was kept for Hitler's armadas. They say that Churchill's war- time speeches, inspiring and un- qualified, fortified the people. But in time of economic trial there is none to fire their imagination or make plain their danger. Even the government warnings of threatening disaster have lost their effect, Osborne and his friends be- lieve, He said that Herbert Morri- son, government House of Commons leader, a year ago warned men and women they must either "work or want."

Hospital Finds Groceries, Wages Keep Costs Up Brantford. Sept. 16 (CP). -- The full meaning of a high cost-of- living, as seen in a public institu- tion, became apparent in a financial report presented to the Board of Governors of the Brantford General Hospital. Wages paid to members of the hospital staff in the first eight months of this year totalled ap- unions have secured for many of them more pay for shorter hours. Since Morrison's warnings have proved groundless, why should they be frightened by the Chancellor?" proximately $60,000 more than in the same period last year. Cost of drugs up to the end of August was roughly $7,000 more this year than in 1947. Coal costs rose by about $3,000. Grocery bills, a headache to every housewife, set the hospital back by the end of August by approximately $16,000 more than in the first eight months of 1947, STORK IN BEAUTY SALON Palmerston North, N.Z.--(CP)-- The hospital board here held =a meeting to discuss the shortage of maternity accommodation in the city. One woman was determined not to trouble the city fathers. Next day she walked into a beauty salon to have her hair waved and promptly gave birth to a healthy baby girl.

The national metalworking week- ly, Iron Age. says at the present production rate -- 95 per cent of capacity--the industry of the United States will turn out as much as 87,000,000 or 88,000,000 tons of steel ingots this year. Output in 1949 may hit 94,000,000 tons without much new basic equipment, the weekly adds. Blast furnaces and open hearths will account for a part of the in- creased production, but most of it will be due to refinements such as use of oxygen, coal-washing, in- creased use of sintered ore and other production techniques. Iron Age says steel demand is ex- pected to continue strong even by late next year but adds by that time it is almost certain that many who are not getting what they want now will no longer be in the grey market or deep in conversion plans. Searches for new ore are going on continually and on the basis of known facts, Iron Age says, Can- ada and South America will play an important part in the United States steel economy in years to come.
