Gushing Geysers Fit In Atomic Age By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent AUCKLAND, N.Z. (CP) -- The idea of harnessing underground volcanic forces which feed New Zealand's geysers to make heavy water to run the western powers' atomic piles may sound as far- fetched as space fiction, but Brit- ish experts are convinced it can be one. The British and New Zealand overnments have embarked on a joint project to bring the plan to fruition on the recommendation of Sir John Cockroft, leading British atomic scientist. The plan is to use underground steam from the thermal area in the north island, for the dual purpose producing electricity and mak- ng heavy water, a substance used as a moderator in atomic piles. A NEW PROJECT Tests have been going on for three years with the idea of using Je gleam to Tuake electricity, but avy water pro is and has resulted in an radet 4 pro- gram to locate the larger quanti- ties of steam needed for en- larged scheme. For centuries the underground #olcanic forces have escaped through the "safety valve" of New Zealand's thermal area, a weak point in the earth's crust where a |down variety of weird phenomena testify to the force of the internal pres- sures below. There are geysers, boiling lakes, bubbling mud pools, steam blowholes, acres of quaking earth interspersed with steam vents and many colored terraces | stained with chemicals thrown up. AtwRotorua, chief town of the thermal regions, the Maoris long ago built villages on the edge of hot pools, using them for natural central heating and primitive pres- sure cookers. down a few shallow bores to get steam for water heating. But until now the chief value of the thermal activity has been as an attraction for thousands of tourists. FOR ELECTRIC POWER Three years ago the government decided to make a bid to end a serious electric power shortage by trying to harness these natural forces. A wide survey of the ther mal areas was made with modern devices. The steam belt runs from the volcanoes in the centre of the forth island in a 25-mile wide strip through Wairakei and Ro- torua right out to the east coast and from there some distance out to sea to White Island, an active volcano a few miles off the coast. The whole of the 150-mile long area offers prospects of steam pro- duction, but the most promising site was thought to be in Geyser valley, near Wairakei. Here ' a series of test bores has been put to check whether a steady supply of steam is available and what problems from chemical im- purities, excessive water and the like, are likely to arise in using the steam for electric power. , Last year when Sir John Cockroft After Europeans arrived they put | director of Britain's atomic station |at Harwell, visited New Zealand, the strongly urged the making of | heavy water as well as electricity. | Heavy water has important advan- tages and also the great attraction that atomic piles using it do not need so much expensive uranium. HUGE SCHEME Now a $15,000,000 project has been started to establish the world's first electricity and heavy water plant. Tests for steam so far have been highly encouraging. Most of the steam found has been "wet," not the higher quality 'dry' steam used at Lardarello in Italy for | electricity, but methods have been | found for extracting surplus water, and indications are that infinitely more steam is available than in Italy. The prospecting process is both spectacular and somewhat hazard- ous. Giant drilling rigs like oil derricks are- used. The drills go down into the layers of super- heated strata until they tap pockets of natural steam trapped at enormous pressures. Sometimes the heat becomes so great that the drilling bits burn out and the bore can be driven no farther. One big 10-inch bore went down to 2020 feet before efforts at cooling the bit failed. Another has since been driven even deeper. DRAMATIC MOMENT When drilling ends, there comes the most dramatic moment--the blowing n o the pore. First the water used for c ejected, and then the a ns forth. Usually the first blast contains a large quantity of stones, rubble and mud, which are hurled hund- reds of feet into the air. When a bore has been tamed control valves and silencers are LINOLEUMS - TILE - BROADLOOM Selling Out!! $500,000 Bankrupt Stockc.... sec LIQUIDATING OTTAWA CARPET COMPANY THIS WEEK ONLY -- 241 Queen St. W., Toronto PERSIAN DESIGN AMERICAN COTTON CARVED BRITISH Imported Top Grade BROADLOOM 9', 12°, 15' Width BARRYMORE Chintz & Floral 27 Le Havre is certainly one of the cities of the Western world that have suffered most from the destruction of the last war, says a writer for French Information Service. The town and the port suffered the worst damage; there were 156 bombardments between the last until those of September, 1944, which brought the horror to its climax. Nearly 1,000 blocks of flats were destroyed, and about the same number were partially dam- aged. Sn persons in LeHavre were killed. CENTRE WIPED OUT The whole centre part of the town, the most ancient and the most densely populated, where stood the principal monuments: the town hall, the stock exchange The soil of the city appeared fo the amazed visitor as a no-man'~ land, in which even the traces of the houses and streets were no longer discernible, As a tragic illustration of the poet's words, "The bust survives the city" there stood alone in all this chaos the statue of Francis the First, the Founder of Le Havre, and the monument to the dead, whose granite block, hardly touched by the bombs, recalled other mas- sacres and others sorrows suffer- ed, some 30 years earlier, by the unfortunate city. Le Havre, of relatively recent foundation (for it was in 1517 that Francis the First created the port out of nothing in a sort of marshy creek to the north of the Seine estuary, where previously there been but a handful of fishermen) has ever been a city of intense vitality. The population has risen | from 15,000 inhabitants in 1750 to | 30,000 in 1850 and to 165,000 in| 1939.

For the port, the problem was a purely technical one: the destruction might even seem a salutary rejuvenation, since it led the modernizing of Le Havre, Like its riverside neighbor, Rouen, Le Havre is today func- tioning at a pace which has been accelerated by the progress made. But for the inhabited part of the city, the problem was Jess simple. First of all, the homeless had to be housed; to this end, wooden huts were erected in the middle of the damaged areas. And comitrs houses, outside the city, | which had been more or les .par- | ed, became a sort of barracks | where, in a minimum of space, the | homeless were given shelter. And | then, the surrounding buildings | and the cellars having been laid | under , contribution, the next step was rebuilding. It was not just a matter of re- building the town as it had been, with all its inconveniences and its old quarters, clashing with the more recent sections. A model city, socially and architecturally, had to be made.
