NIAGARA FALLS. Ont.-(NEA) --Deep under the honeymoon city of Niagaxs Falls. workmen are blasting through rock and sand to bmld a. tunnel that will be as high as a four-storey building.
The tunnel will bring water from above Niagara Falls to a point for below on the Niagara River. and by 1954 it is expected to acid 700.000 more horsepower of electricity for the kilowatt-hungry industries of southern Ontario. The project on the Canadian side. of the border is going ahead under a U. S.-Canadian agreement to expand power facilities at tho I-ails. Development on the U. 8. side is still in the argument stage among federal and state power auliiorities and private power com- pan;es.
Ontario's 8l82.o00.000 project, which includes new generatingsta- tions being built into the solid rock wall of the river, required an en- tire new townsite for the 5000 men on the lob. Many of these are hard-rock miners brought down from the gold mines of northern Ontario for the tough blasting job.
0 O O
The development will take vi-ate: as it rushes toward the brink of the Falls and drop it through a 45-foot-diameter tunnel to 250 feet below the river surface. Then. for 5'; miles, the water will run grad- ually uphill again to an open canal whzch will carry it two miles to the seven penstocks of the new generating station.
The new 700000 horsepower will be added to the 525,000 horsepower already generated on the Canadian side of the Falls.
Under the International treaty the scenic value of the famous Fails will not be harmed. The flow of the water over the Falls will be tapped in greatest quantity in the Fall and Winter months when tourist activity is at a minimum and when power needs are highest. The tunneling job under the city of 40,000 people is being done from five shafts sunk from the surface at an angle. These shafts are

"I sheltered in a biliabong (stream channel) while the main ilre swept past, then I fought my way back with a wet rag over my head.
"As I got near the house I saw the blazing wooden tank collapse and the tank overturn. I pulled my wife and kids from the mass of flames. water and ashes.

Reports filtering through the "Bamboo curtain" indicate that for the first time in two years the Chinese Communists are bogged down in their efforts to transform the catholic Church in China into a politlco-religious organisation subservient to Pelping.
One result of the stand taken by Chinese Cethoiica is that the Communist "Independent" cathol- ic Church, which seeks among oth- er things to replace the Pope. re- mains moribund. -
This has proved a shock to the Communists. especially after their success in lopping off most of what they thought were the main props

Catholic missionaries tell this slurry of one Chinese priest now in prison in the Chinese ' rior.
When told to write his "history" after his arrest. he began with the birth of Christ and traced his car- oer through the Church's history of wave after wave of persecution.
"It you enjoy persecution." he wss told, "we will accommodate you."
He was put in chains and order- ed to rewrite his story. Each time he turned up with a. repetition of the history of persecution.

The Communists succeeded in lmprisonlng him and felt that if they could' "convert" him half their battle would be won. But he died after a few months in prison and the Communists labelled him In "unrepentant reactionary."
The tombstone at his grave in a country district outside the city bears no name, but recently an admirer scrawled on it in chalk the words. "Viva Christo Rex"... Long Live Christ. the King.
