22 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, Januery 11, 1967 By DON JOHNSON MONTREAL (CP)--A sign above a large map of Lab- rador in offices of Churchill Falls (Labrador) Corp. Ltd. says: "Don't start any vast projects with half - vast ideas." The advice is aimed at the men planning Canada's big- gest power project---the har- nessing of the upper Church- ill River. When completed in about eight to 10 years, it will produce more than 4,500,000 kilowatts. Cost of the mammoth un- dertaking, to begin in earnest next spring when 3,000 men start moving in, is estimated at between $700,000,000 and $800,000,000. Half will be for services of all kinds, a quar- ter for labor and a quarter for equipment. Quebec province will spend CLEO GETS THE NEEDLE Cleo, covers her head ster her a rabies shot.

Touted during its long ges- tation period as the master key to the future prosperity of Newfoundland by Premier Joseph Smallwood, everything about the project is vast-- from the $40,000,000 spent in | preliminary exploration, to ,- For COLDS and GRIPPE... apne lll EE the splendor of the falls and the vision of what can come from unlocking their power. WILL LIGHT BROADWAY In all, it will create 7,000 jobs with an annual payroll of $50,000,000. It will move rivers and make lakes. It will see tens of millions of cubic yards of granite blasted out of the way and will tax technology to keep up with the sweep of the dream. Eventually, it will help di- the millions of Broadway's midnight suns. To Mr. Smallwood, and many others, it offers - the means of opening a new fron- tier. Despite the grand concept-- which once sparked the imag- ination of Prime Minister Churchill, for whom the falls are named--the undertaking can be summed up simply: Tame the falls as they tum- ble 245 feet over a precipice, a drop of almost 100 feet more than Niagara Falls. As a result of the shackles to be built, the mighty falls will become a relative trickle. Their flow, reinforced by the weight of three other rivers which will be reversed, will pound through a powerhouse containing 10 giant turbines. Each turbine will be capa- ble of producing 466.500 kilo- watts. Each will weigh 1,100 tons--24% times larger than any turbine anywhere. DELAYED BY DISPUTE Work on the long-discussed project was delayed for years while Hydro - Quebec and British Newfoundland Corp., which owns Churchill Falls (Labrador) Corp., battled over terms of an agreement. Under the agreement, signed last Oct. 13, Brinco will produce the power and Huge Power Project Tames River In Wilds Hydro-Quebec will buy it for use within Quebec or resale outside the province. Although Premier Johnson of Quebec made it clear he was not. happy with all as- pects of the agreement, Que- bec had little choice. Tight money and high capi- tal outlay for current hydro- electric facilities under con- struction had sharply limited Hydro-Quebec's room to ma- neeuvre in moving to meet growing requirements in the near future. The Labrador project saves Quebec an immediate invest- ment of between $400,000,000 and $500,000,000. Construction of the trans- mission lines is to begin about 1968. An engineering report of the method of transmission is expected shortiy. . First production of power is expected about 1971 or 1972, with near capacity the follow- ing year and full capacity by 1976. TO REVERSE FLOW To feed the giant turbines, the river's vast 27,000-square- mile natural drainage basin will be enlarged by another 6,400 square miles by revers- ing the flow of three rivers into the Churchill. 1. Rest in bed area will be 2,700 square miles. . At Jacopie Lake four miles upriver from the falls, the river will be diverted into a 16-mile-long forebay. It will be located on the north bank of the river on the lip of the Lake Plateau, which the Churchill drains. At the other end of the bay, created by dikes and the nat- ural contour of the land, 10 penstock shafts at a 55-degree angle will be bored to a depth of about 1,000 feet. Steel and concrete lined, these shafts will be 20 feet in diameter at ground level, 1514 feet two-thirds of the way down and slightly smaller at the bottom. About 49,000 cubic feet of water will tumble down the a tocks every to Probe Follow: Pen Protest KINGSTON (CP) -- An inves- tigation into weekend disturb- ances at Kingston penitentiary will begin immediately, Warden Hazen Smith said.

The used water then will be returned to the river through two tailrace tunnels each 60 feet wide and 50 feet high and 6,000 feet long. The whole project will re- quire 40 miles of dikes.
