Ittl Harvest In 1881, McCormick arranged for a license to manufacture the Appleby type of twine binder and entered the 1881 harvest ready to do battle with his main competitor. William Hnn lug Western Society of Engineers, it was announced this past week. The award will be made at a dinner on April 20 at the Furniture Club of America in Chicago. At the dinner. Savage, recipient of the award "for his unselfish public service devoted to the creation of monumental hydraulic structures utilising natural re sources," will discuss the Yangtze river dam project in China which he designed in 194S and 1946 The power distribution area of theprojected Yangtze river dam is peopled by 140 million persons, a poulation nearly equivalent to that of the entire United States. Modern irrigation canals would flow through millions of acres of farm land and the disastrous Yangtze river floods, it is said, would no longer be a threat. According to Savage, preliminary work at the Bite of the Yangtze? gorge project was temporarily suspended in August, 1947, due to internal strife in China. It is estimated -that the daui will take six or seven years to build. Twenty diversion tunnels would be needed, compared with the four used in Boulder dam, to divert the Yangtze. It is estimated that the fluid capacity would be equal to flfty million acres and that the storage of flood water would irri gate ten million acres of land. Savage has received degrees from the University of Wiscon sin, the University of Denver and the University of Colorado. He is consulting engineer for the Tennessee Valley Authority and the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. He has received numerous awards in recognition of his contributions to the ietd of civil engineering, particularly in the conbtructlon of hydraulic structures. No other Individual has had the direct responsibility 'for more dams than Savage. Among the more prominent are the Hoover (Boulder) dam and power plant, Shasta dam, Ail-American canal system In California, Continental; J Divide tunnel la Colorado, Nort^» and Wheeler dams In Tennessee and the Underground Fuel Stofage Project at Pearl Harbor for Contractors, Pacific Naval Air Base. His projects have Included work in Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, China, India, Mexico, Palestine, Spain, Switzerland, and England. The .Washington Award was established in 1919. The first winner was Herbert Hoover. Others ou whom tlyp honor has been conferred are- Vannevar Bush, Arthur Compton, Charles F. Kettering, the late Henry Ford, and Ralph E. Flanders.
