Man: Safety Program
Cuts Traffic Tragedy

The province of Manitoba has
given an example of effective ac-
cident reduction measures, with
its Highway Safety Program.
After several years of planning,
the full program came into ef-
fect early in 1951, in the Greater
Winnipeg area. Results for the
first year of operation show a
considerable decrease in traffic
accidents There is a 15 per cent
decrease in fatal accidents, a 25
per cent decrease in injury ac-
cidents and a 12 per cent de-
crease in total traffic accidents,

For improvement in driving

knowledge, a driver’s manual!
‘was prepared containing in easily
readable form, all information
necessary for safe operation of
motor vehicles on the highway.
* All new applicants, all casual
drivers and all who have de-
mionstrated that they require
improvement in driving, are sub- ,

on the Hanubook, first of which
is a written knowledge test.

SOLEMN CEREMONY MARKS
FIRST COMMUNION FOR
FIVE CASTLEGAR CHILDREN

St. Rita’s church, Castlegar,
was bedecked in festive mood on
Sunday, August 3, when at the
8:30 Mass, five Castlegar child-
ren received their First Holy
Communion in a solemn and
touching ceremony. The altar was
banked with a colorful display of
gladioli, with colored vigil lights’
throughout the sanctuary.

Leading the procession was the
cross-bearer, Rene Brodman,
with Richard and Brian Cristo-
foli as acolytes. Behind them
came the First Communicants,
Catherine Pellegrin, Anita Jenks,
Gloria~Geisler, “Andrew Shutek
and George Schwar

Monolith Drop.
At Waneta Out

TRAIL, B.C. — Construction
men will not need to topple dan
18-storey pillar of coricrete in
their task of building a° dam
across the turbulent water of the
Pend-d’Orielle River at Waneta.
As the work of erecting the giant
concrete structure was slated to
start, news of special water reg.
ulation on the river ‘upstream in
the United States, presented an
easier method for providing a
temporary barrier across the
water at the power site. The new
Cabinet Gorge power plant in
Idaho will begin storing water in
mid-August. A short distance
downstream, the dam at Albeni
Falls will cut the discharge of
Pend-d’Orielle water to a mini-
mum for a period of two weeks.
As a result the flow of the river
at Waneta will be cut by about
50 per cent, enabling construction
men to put in a rock-fill dam
using normal methods. i

The Waneta Power Plant is be-
ing built for The Consolidated
Mining and Smelting Company
near the confluence of the Pend-
@Orielle River with Columbia, 13
miles south of Trail. One of the
problems facing construction
engineers was the job of placing

a temporary dam across the south
two thirds of the river, to allow
Work to procecd on phat part of
the main dam. In view of irre-
gular contour of the river bed
and the large volume of swiftly
moving water, the tipping of the
‘monolith offered the easiest and
most practical method. Details of
the monolith plan had been
worked out and construction of
the concrete pillar was slated to
have started when word of the
water restrictions in the United
States was received. When the
water level drops in mid-August,
it will be possible to construct
the temporary dam using some
15,000 cubic yards of rock gravel.

The Waneta Power Plant is
scheduled for completion late in
1953. It will have provision for
four generating units. The initial

drivers were tested in the Greater
Winnipeg area. On the first test,
52 per cent failed, on the second
21 per cent, third 16 per. cent and
on the fifth none, seeming to de-
