Fla. iAPi,You have 3 Rood chance of living to be I00- if you first hurdle a curious in-4 visible barrier at. ages 60 to 75,- : medical team reported today. I This barrier is a period in which certain chemical and physical pro- cesses of the body begin to re- verse themselves in a kind of re- verse ageing. You begin growing younger in certain ways. This new finding on growing old is hescribed by Drs. A. A. Gold- bloom. Otto Deutschberger. Irving Chapman and H. B. Eiber of New York Medical College in an ex- hibit at the clinical session of the American M e d i c a I Association opening here today. It is based Upon a survey of more than 1,000 persons aged 80 to I00. MYSTEEIOUS BARRIER They find evidence that some biochemical and physical pro- ceases begin to go into reverse be- tween 80 and 75. Just why they do so is not yet clear. But it looks as though the changes amount to "some invisible. not clearly under- stood barrier." "Most of us die before reaching that barrier. or while going through it. But. once we get through. our chances of living to be 100 years are good." Dr. Eiber said. Two processes which seem to change are hardening or calcifica- tion of the aorta-the main artery from the heart-and dilation of the sorts. IMPROVE AFTER 75 And the amounts of certain fatty substances in the blood-which are blamed as having a part in harden ing arteries-actually begin to drop after 75, the study finds. The medical team finds that in- creased blood pressure at older ages is not something which is normal or inevitable. but rather something which can and should be controlled. to help people reach the century mark. New idea It: Road Marking MONTREAL (CF) - An Ameri- esn research engineer has come up with an idea that may ease the eye straining job of trying to see the white centre line on a high- way through the glare of an sp- proaching car's headlights. The idea is simple? snother white line on the right-hand side of the highway. Dr. John V. Dorr of Westport. Conn.. says it has already been tried out with some success in his home state. Dr. Dorr. interviewed while here on business. said tests showed drivers developed a "sense of se- curity" when they could keep s stesdy course by following a line on the outside edge of the rosd.

Commissioner Rene Dupuis of the Quebec hydro-electric commis- sion. outlining progiess or the Ber- simis development-designed ul- tlniatelv to produce 1.200.000 horse- power-said in a speech here: "The lines connecting Gaspe to 'Ber.sims-Quebec-Montreal will per- mit a transfer of any needed power from the eastern border of the province to its western border. in- ter-conneciing with a strong tie practically all the generated capac- ity of the provinces! SOURCE OF PRIDE "It is always A source of pride to me to add to this statement that the generated capacity of the province is over 50 per cent of the entire hydroelectric power generated in Canada. The province has maintained that lead over all the other provinces combined for more than 3 years." Scheduled to I)(';zill operations .lnte next year, the Beralmis pro- Ouebec's Vast Power Resources To Be linked From Border To Border lject, taking its name from the riv- tir on which it stands. will trans- mit power in two directions. Transmission lines. some 400 miles long. will transmit power at 300,000 volm to Montreal. Sub- marine cables already have been laid to carry power-at 161.000 volts -under the St. Lawrence river to the south shore. These will supply south shore points and large min- ing projects in the Gaspe. The pro- ject beizim in preliminary stages in May. 1952. with actual construct- ion starting in October. 1953. BIGGER TIIAN KITIRLAT Although Beraimis has an ul- limiite capacity of 1,200,000 horse- power. it will not begin producing that amount immediately. opening with 450,000 installed horsepower. This compares with the 420,000 in- stalled hnraepowcr at British Col- umbia's Kltimat. which has an ul- tlmrite capacity of 2.240.000. Mr. Dupuis said the coming "tie- up will place the public utilities of Quebec in a still better position to supply any new or expanded indus- try with all the power required anywhere in the province.

Jubilee Play By Liguorian Players As I. closing tribute to Marlin Year of .1951 and in celebration of the Silver Jubilee of Holy Redeem.- er Parish with which it ha-Dpily coincides the play Lady of Fatlnia. has been chosen as I Jubilee pres- entation. It is a, most fitting choice. Lady of1"iit.lmn is a play in two acts. twelve pre-scenes and twelve scones. Between the first and fins! curtain the audience is treated to a variety of theatre that runs the gamut from drama and comedy to pathos and the supernatural. The plsy is based on the apparitlons of the Blessed virgin Mary to three children in the parched, waste hill- country of Fatima. Portugal. in 1917. During the global war then raging thue appiultlons brought hope to it seemingly hopeless world. The twelve pre-scenes of the play present a discussion between a Por- tuguese, a French aihleat. an Amer- ican scientist and I German priest who adopts the cautions attitude mands arise. inter-connections or development of new sites, either privately or by publicly-owned or- ganizations, will take care of them No such thing as a shortage of power has existed or is likely to ex- ist here as for as we can foresee."
