Consumption 0f Electric Power At All-time liigh

OTTAWA Dec. 13 —-tCPl —-Can- adians used more power in Oc- tober than nt any time in their lii~.=ioi'y—3,544,29l,000 kilowatt hours,

At. the same lime, the Bureau of Statistics reported today. power production sagged about 80,000,000 lnlotivatt hours below the amount zurncd out in the same month of I947. This, was lust. before de- mand titinliy bcgnri to outrun supply and brought daily power blackouts in Ontario early in No- vember.

In addition to the consumption of 3,544,201,000 kilowatt hours of primary prwcr, the country used another 114191.000 kilowatt hours of secondary power.

In October, 1047, consumption was 32941072000 kilowatt. hours of primary rind 434,161,000 of second- iiry power. .Pi‘tlnar,v power is the basic electricity that is used when a householder switches on an el- ectric light. Secondary power is essentially a surplus, available at times when primary demand drops c-"iﬂ

On the output. side, howevs-nthe picture was different, for October Il,78fl,'l96,000 kilowatt. hours was produced, compared with 3,862.- 690000 in the same month ti year earlier~—a decline of 81,000,000 kilowatt hours.

Wit-bin ihese figures there was s substantial increase in produc- tion of primary power, offset by a heavier decline in sdcondary power. Generators produced 3,- 656,151,000 kilowatt hours this October opposed io 3,506,108,000 last- Octoher. Production oi’ sec- ond power dropped from 456,498,- 000 to l24,645,000 kilowatt hours.

Net. exports to the United States dropped from 131,563,000 to 122,- 314,000 kilowatt hotlrs.

The decrease in production were spread over Ontario, Mani- toba and Quebec. Ontario's mit- put fell from 945,557,000 to 937,- 071,000 kilowatt hours. The Mani- toba. decline was from 100923.000 to 165525.000 kilowatt hours while Quebec's was from $297,279,000 tn 2,li8,0il5.000 kilowatt hnurs.

Repairs to the famous white Vir- gin near the summit of one of three immense peaks included a roomy plaque for initial carvers.

Another small plaque nearby asks would-be sculptors to: "Re- spect the statue; write on the tab- lct."

The RS-font-high statue carved out of white pine means a Brest deal to the people of the. Sagucnapu and La Societe l-llsiorique de Sague- nay employed six men for a month restoring the statue after s public hue nnd cry at lis state of dese- craiion- The people contributed $4,000 toward the job.

Whole pieces of the pine. Virgin had been carried away s mement- ocs by visitors who also ad cover- ed its lead surface with thousands of initinls. Rain had almost fin- ished the job. The pine had rot- ted and the statue was nenr coi- lapse.

Difficult Task

Repairman found the most diffi- cult part of their work portaging the huge amount of lumber that had to be replaced. A rough sea kept them from landing for two days nnd then the lumber had to he carried up an almost perpen- dicular cliff some 600 feet. Sculpiurcd in 188i by Louis Jobln. it was erected by Charles Napoleon Robitailie. one of the first commer- cial travellers to visit the Saguenay. Stricken with an incurable dis- ease on one of his many trips up the river, he made a vow that if he lived 10 years longer he would erect a statue to the Virgin on the l,800-foot cape. After 10 years he kept his promise and in spite of his illness lived another eight years.

Excursion boats on the Saguenay river at night play searchllghis on the immense statue while ship's orchestras play Ave Moria.

ll. S. Army Improves Air Rescue Methods

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 —- (AP) ~— The United States Army Air Force is experimenting with towing methods to increase helicopter range for serial rescues.

Present ranges are generally less than 300 miles. With n tow might be extended to 1.000 miles or more. An officer confirmed that experiments are being made by the air material command at Wright Field, Dayton, O.

The Air Force magazine, en in. dependent publication, described a theoretical long-range rescue op". stinn in this way:

The helicopte would take off in tow of a large transport plane, up. ing its rotors to help out until cruising altitude was reached. Then it would cut its power and depend "l!!! 0n the tow. Over the rescue Ive!!!‘ the helicopter would cut its tow line and land.

In tow, the helicopter would the" return to base. 1f en Qirﬂgld w" within 100 miles of the scene, the helicopter could be towed to m, field and then operate entirely on "I 0W" Dower in s shuttle to the scene.
