canal now watered ilnce the blasting early in june of a mas sive rock plug at the upper cross over of the two canals enabling water to enter the section of the new canal leading back to the exit portals of the twin 54 mile under ground tunnels one unit of the new plant is already in service and four will be in operation when the station is officially opened august 30th by her royal inghneas

canada the group from east central and toronto regions including garfield mcgllvray representing the her ald assembled in toronto to go by bus on the tour stopping at the uranc inn burlington for luncheon and continuing to niagara where following the tour they were en tertained at the sheraton hotel and the camp cafeteria chairman robert h saunders ad dressed the group at burlington and hydro

300foot cliffs of the lower niagara gorge plant in initial service ahead of bene dole early this spring hydro utilized the carau and forcbay system serv ing the adjacent sir adam beck no 1 plant in order to place he new project in initial service water was diverted to the new vforctoay fvom the old canal at the unique x crossover just upstream from the no 2 forcbay and by an intercon necting channel between the fore- bays of no 1 and no 2 plants early this month preparatory to the watering of no 1 tunnel in late june a massive rock plug at the up per crossover of the old and new power canals was blasted out for the first time this enabled water to mand periods running the same wa ter buck through the pumps as nee ded the pumps are bn reverse turbine generators with a capacity of
