THE OSHAWA TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1962 Ambitious Dam For Mighty Manicouagan By GERRY MCNEIL BAIE COMEAU, Que. (CP)-- Engineers describe it as the largest and most ambitious but- tressed, multiple-arch dam. The description becomes even more impressive when they add that Montreal's 42-storey Place Ville Marie would fit comfort- ably into the dam's 750-foot-high centre arch. About 3,800 men are at work on the Manicouagan River dam right now, pouring the founda- tion and bases of the great arches that will carry it 4,000 feet between two small moun- tains 135 miles north of here. Some $18,000,000 worth of con- struction equipment is assem- bled at the site, 500 air-miles northeast of Montreal. | Next spring, trucks will begin dumping 1,000,000 cubic yards of concrete to build the wall to a height of 450 feet and allow the) reservoir to start filling up. | It will take several years to} complete the dam, bringing it) to its full height of 750 feet, but) it will be another eight years| before the reservoir covers its) full 800 square miles. | MAJOR DEVELOPMENT Yet Manic 5, as the big job is known here, is no more than the key project in the $2,000,- 000,000 Manicouagan - Outardes hydro-electric power develop- ment. It is possibly the biggest con- struction job under way.in the world. Manic 5 will be the fourth greatest dam in the world when completed and easily the great- est in North America. It's res- ervoir will be four times larger than that of the Hoover Dam, previous North American hydro- electric giant. | But it still will be only one of five large dams, a network that will provide 6,000,000 horse- power. Canada's present total output is 25,000,000 horsepower. Three dams are being built on the mighty Manicouagan, which has a watershed of 17,600 square miles. Indians aptly named it "good place to get a drink." Two more will be built on the Outardes, which runs parallel through almost virgin land north of here into the Gulf of St. Lawrence nearby. QUEBEC-HYDRO JOB The job is being done by the publicly-owned Quebec Hydro- Electric Commission, which since 1960 has been charged with harnessing all new hydro- electric resources. Transmission lines from the Manicouagan will stretch across Quebec by 1970 to power-hun- gry cities and industries, Que- bec-Hydro spokesmen say the province may be able to sell more power to Ontario and New York State as a result. Much of the energy will be sold to private power compa- nies, if there are any left by the time the Manicouagan-Out- ardes project is completed in 10 to 12 years. Natural Resources Minister Rene Levesque has made it known he would like to see na- Cut Costs How can a homemaker ' cut living costs?

"It is many, many times bigger," he was told. Another asked: 'Where is Canada?"
