Plans for the 23-mile under- water tunnel have been vetoed by successive British governments for 80 years on the grounds that a tunnel would increase the risk of invasion from Europe.
NOW APPROVED
This fear no longer exists in the nuclear age and the tunnel study group now planning the tunnel has government approval.

The main danger in building the tunnel — expected to. cost about £250,000,000 — is flooding either from. the sea above the tunnel or from water below the channel’s chalk bed.
Engineers carrying out the new survey said that under the chan- nel are three layers of chalk — only the first of which is capable of stepping water. Surveyors will try to find a route where the waterproof layer is thick ‘and fault-free.
New England Rivers Flood

One tragedy was indirectly linked with the flood situation. Mrs. Lucille Sawyer Emory, 53, of Charlestown, N.H., toppled from abridge rail to her death in the flood-swollen Missisquoi River at Swanton, .Vt. just as a bystander reached to save her. Her death was listed by Vermont state police as suicide.

This*brought the total decline since last Nov. 1 to four-fifths of a pc'nt from the record 126.3 on that date. Most of the drop was attributed to seasonal dips in food prices. ~
However, in that period aver- age industrial wages appeared to have recovered from their an- nual year - end drop and crept ahead a bit to give those with jobs increased purchasing power.
