Engineers Of Hydro-Quebec Clear Power Line Hurdle

MONTREAL i6P) —. Hydro- Quebec engineers this summer are clearing the highest. hurdle in construction of a 363-mile

power line from. Manicouagan to Montreal

The line to. carry 735,000 volts, is believed to be the high- est-voltage power-line in the world :

Stringing of the entire line will be finished later this year, and power will surge from Hy- dro Quebec's Manicouagan- Outardes development on the

north shore of the St. Lawrence River 200 miles east of Quebec City.

Upon completion by 1974, the whole giant enterprise will have almost 6,000,000 kilowatt s— about 7,000,000 horsepower—of installed, capacity,

This will almost double Que- bec's available power and will

require three transmission lines like the one now under con- struction

The big. leap this summer covers ~9,800° feet—aliiost” two miles--across the St. Lawrence heiween towers on the Isle of Orleans; near Quebec City; and

the. south-shore mainland, USES TWO TOWERS

The hurdle utilizes two sus- pension towers rising almost 600 feet above the river. They are to hold. 12 aluminum power-con- ductors.

The construction feat is more difficult because of the contin- uous parade of shipping on this stretch of the river, one of the world’s busiest. sea-lanes,

The conductors must be kept under strong tension. at all stages of the work so the lowest point will never be less than 190 feet above high tide—well above mast height of the tallest ships.

River traffic was slowed only once—-for 50 minutes while a motor launch laid a ‘slim cable. across the river. The cable was

threaded froai a.wiach on.ene Shore, through pulleys on , the Various anchor - and - suspen- sion towers to a winch on the other shore

By this means a a cable was pulled across in turo hauled across the : ge

of Canada Limited and made at Alcan’s Shawinigan, Que., plant. The cable is only 1.1 inches in diameter but has a tensile strength of 107,500 pounds. The | three-phase transmission — line consists of 12 conductors strung in bundles of four.

KEUSE WATERS

The huge project embraces the repeated use of waters of the Manicouagan and Outardes rivers in a series of,eight. pow- erhouses’ which wl generate 5,500 000 . When completed nine years hen if: :

The watershed of these rivers, which annually” émpty 1,500,- 000,000,000 cubic feet of water into the St. Lawrence, is 25,060) square miles. ,The first “new powerhouse, to become opera- tional later this year, will be Manicouagan No. 2

From a ollector station near this site, 20 miles north of Baie Comeau, the power tine is being built to. connect with Boucher- ville, across the St. Lawrence from the eastern section of Montreal.

The present river crossing, when completed, »will have used about 22': miles of conductor, Supplied in 12 reels with an un-

broken length of 10,320 feet each. All told, the - various river

crossings in the project “will re- quire more than 133 miles of a special river-crossing cable, in addition to 2,400 miles of over- land conductor.

Republicans Study Ending U.S. And Canadian Frictions

WASHINGTON (AP)—A_ study looking toward elimination of U.S.-Canadian frictions and ex- panding mutual understanding and co - operation is under way: by a small group. of Republican members of the House of Rep- resentatives.

of Maine. His interest proved relations between two. countries is that of a neighbor and member of the U.S. - Canadian interparliament- ery conference.

LONDON ‘(Reuters)—The zov- ernment stood its ground Wed- nesday amid continuing criti- cism of an issue of stamps to commemorate the Sgcond World War Battle of Brig

The stamps, to be issued Sept. 13, show British and Germah nircraft—-and-feature- Nazi swa- stikas as well as a portrait of Queen Elizabeth.

Opposition Conservative MP Lord Braye said in the House there -is. widespread public. dissatisfaction over the Nazi emblem appearing on the stamps. His speech: followed criticism in newspaper letter columns.

A Labor goyérnment spokes- man, Lord Hobson, said the public is under no obli gation to buy the stamps.

The stamps depict various as pects of the historic Battle of Britain. On one a broken swas- tika, half-covered by the sea, is on the shattered tail of a Ger- Another shows a German cross on a fighter plane overlaid by the wing tip of a British Spitfire fighter,

Hobson added: “Since this 1s what the Battle of Britain was all about, we do not propose to withdraw the stamps.” >

An ‘official of the beard of- deputies of British Jews said in a letter to Postmaster-General Anthony Wedgwood. Benn:

CLAIM LOSS OF JOBS j

“This action will deprive thou- sands of Canadian workers of new job opportunities during the coming year and~may restrict this country’s continued eco- nomic growth,”’ Mr. Jodoin said.

“Its impact will-be felt through- out the economy.

“With 325,000 Canadians still unemployed, this is clearly. not the time for introducing defla- tionary measures aimed at ar- resting the present phase~ vot modest economic expansion.”

Mr. Jodoin said the govern- ment’s action is contrary to the advice of the Economic Council of Canada which has called for expansionary measures and em- | phasis on long - term goals rather than short-term economic | fluctuations.
