Canada Rushes Huge Power Plant For War Work

Harnessing the rushing waters of the Saguenay River, Canada is completing a mammoth war project capable of producing more power than America's mighty Boulder Dam. Despite the icy cold Canadian winter workmen are winning a gigantic battle against time and the elements. Already they are a year and a half ahead of schedule. Here goes forty-one tons of TNT.

By the end of the year the development will be generating more than a million horsepower, power for the Dominion's great aluminum industry. For when these power lines begin to hum Canada will lead the world in the production of aluminum. Three quarters of a billion pounds a year for the United Nations war effort.
