BIG CANADIAN CANAL . IS ENGINEERING FETE Magnitude Compares With Conâ€" struction of â€"Panama _ Ditch; Features _ _ For the neéw Welland Ship canal for the first time will permit ocean going vessels to ply the Great Lakes, and will give the largest lake boats access to the sea. Now virtually comâ€" plete, and requiring only the good offices of President Hoover and the Prince of Wales to jaunch it officially in the interests â€"of â€"international trade, it is to be opened soon. A Tremendous Task Completion of the task that was started in 1913, and which cost $115,â€" 000,000, places the New Welland canal. â€" Twentyâ€"five miles long beâ€" tween its terminal at Port Colberone and Port W ellter, â€"Ont., it has â€"seven locks, each with a lift of 47% feet, and parallels the swiftly descending Niagra River between the lakes. Second Largest Lock The guard lock at Humberstone is the second largest in the world â€" 1380 feet in length between the inner gates. Ships of 25â€"foot draught can traverse the entire canal in eight hours. f "Firestone is using its immense resources in rubber plantations, manâ€" ufacturing equipment, warehousing and service dealer organization to support the principle that the posâ€" perity of the local dealer and merâ€" chant is vital to the growth of every community," â€" says August Haak, Firestone distributor here. f . According to Mr, Haak of Haak‘s With the opening of the new waâ€" terway,; Prescott, Ont., on the St. Lawrence River, becomes the foot of Great Lakes navigation, where the Dominion Government is building a 5,400,000 bushel grain elev ator. Other huge elevators are being conâ€" structed at Port Colborne and at Kingston.~â€"The grain~of W estern Canada, which heretofore has been brought to Buffalo for transfer into the 14â€"foot draught boats used on the old Welland canal now will be able to go direct to Kingston or Presâ€" cott for transfer there on Montreal. The new canal is the fourth to ‘be constructed on this, the first having been built in 1829. Says Average Motorist Likes Firestone Tires Thursday, May 28, 1981 At Thorold there are four locks, three of them twin locksâ€" in flight similar to those at Gatun in Central America. Like steps of a giant stairway they rise one above the other, with the fourth, a sgingle lock, at the top. Each half of the twin locks operates independently of the other, so that ships not only are able to sail up and down the mountain, but may pass each other in two steady streams. The twin locks have a greater lift than those in the Panaâ€" ma canal. Auto Supply Co., the average motorâ€" ist is beginning to understand that he can do better for himself as well as for local business by walking into a Firestone dealer‘s service store. "We have cross sections of the tires," he gaid, "to show that Firestone ofâ€" fers more tire for the same money."
