PP IE A ~~ Page 6 The Haileyburian Thursday, December 21, 1961 Hydro Beats Bush With Helicopters Ontario Hydro is taking to the air to conquer the dense bush country of Northern Ontario during con- struction of a 50-mile transmission line between the communities of Manitouwadge and Hornepayne. The project is airborne operation from almost from start to finish. Helicopters will be used for all phases of construction, including movement of personnel, for only a small portion of the proposed line's right-of-way is accessible by road. The 'copters will poles, set them in the ground and string conductors, The line will hook-up Hornepayne, a divisional point on the Canadian National Railway's trans-continent- al line about 200 air miles north of Sault Ste. Marie, to Hydro's Northwestern system, at Manitou- wadge, a small copper-mining community. At present, Hornepayne's electric power is supplied by diesel elec- tric generators. First major "air" construction of a transmission line by Hydro, the project is now under way. In- dividual clearing contractors are cutting a 66-foot wide strip through the heavily-bushed coun- try, which is dotted with many small lakes, for the three phase, 44,000-volt line. Helicopters have already air-lift- ed suryey crews and camp equip- ment into. the area, and this work is well in hand. All items .neces- sary for the clearing contractors' camps will also be flown in, and line construction crews and .their equipment will be similarly trans- ported. The construction technique, though relatively new, has been}. used to some extent in the United States. Hydro*itself has used heli- copters for polesetting and experi- carry wood Manitouwadge-Hornepayne project presents an opportunity to use this method for all phases*of the work. Hydro has brought an S-58D Sik- orsky helicopter -- one of the largest commercial models avail- able -- to do the job. This machine can carry a pilot, observer and 12 other passengers, or a material payload of approximately 3,600 pounds. Other helicopters from Hydro's fleet -- a Sikorsky S55 and a Bell G2A -- will also be used where the loads are within their capac- ities. The job is scheduled for comple- tion by mid-1962. Christmas Is Time For Remembering While it is not true, of course, that "Christmas is for children', no other season or holiday brings to both young and old such vivid memories of earlier, happier times. Christmas is certainly a happy time for the young. There is a sparkle and sweetness to the Christmas season that time can- not dim within our heart. When the snow falls and the winter winds blow cold against the frosted pane, there is warmth and contentment in the glow of a hearth fire, and it is a luxury for children of all ages to close the eyes and call back joyfull, hap- py scenes that are so deeply treas- ured they can never be forgotten. » Provincial ~Playdowns In Dominion Silver 'D' TORONTO Ontario's bulky Southern Zone will battle repre- sentatives. from the three other provincial districts in the Domin- ion Silver "D" Ontario ladies' curling championship February 13- 16 at Toronto's Boulevard Club. The winning rink from this four- day double round-robin playoff will carry Ontario's hopes into the sec- ond Dominion Diamond "D" na- tional championship at Regina Stadium, February 26 - March 1.

Mrs. Woolley's crew tied for third place with Manitoba, each with 5-4 won-lost records in the Dominion Diamond.
