A drive to stimulate recruiting in

At the suggestion of the State Council

BIC DAM PLANNED
FOR H0USAT0NIC
AT zOAR BRIDGE
Recent Charter Amendment
Allows Power Company
to Begin Work.

A gigantic dam. the effect of which
is to create an electric force for the
Housatonic Power Co. of New Haven,
Is to be constructed about half mile
below zoar bridge on the Housatonic
river. It is estimated that the under
taking will take two years for COM
pletion. The Housatonic Power Co.
received the charter for the work at
the recent session of the General As
sembly, but the enormous size of the
plans was not revealed at that time
The dam is to be 100 feet high and
will span the river on a natural rock
base which the Sprague & Henwoed
Co. of Scranton, Pa, has found after
carefufsdrilling fora number of weeks
AS soon as the proposed location Of
the dam was decided upon, a crew was
set to work sounding the depth of the
rock. Already the entire lake bottom
has been laid out under surveying
methods by the Birkenbine Engineer
ing Co. of Philadelphia
Twenty-Five square miles will be
the extent.of the water surface that
will be held in check behind the great
dam, it Is estimated; and the lake
which will thus be created will run

from IL to 5 miles Portions of four
towns will be inundated
Oxford. Newtown and Monroe.
Many estates will be literally wiped
out altogether with churches, schools,
cemeteries and summer camps. But
in their place there will doubtless be
one of the most beautiful lakes in the
state. Hundreds of acres of fine tim
Der land will have to go, and many
communities which have existed for
years on the banks of the river will be
forced to move to the hilltops
The idea of a huge dam at this
part of the Housatonic had seemed to
the residents of the section but a
vision. Now, however, they are sud-
denly brought to realize that their
vision has taken on a very serious
aspect. Some of them have rented
their own homes for many years fol-
lowing purchase about 20 years ago by
the power company. 1t will doubtless
not be an easy task forN some Of them
to change.
While the Housatonic Power Co.
bought most of the land some time
ago, no operations for, the construc-
ton OF a dam could be started until
the charter Of the company was
amended. The amendment which was
recently granted by the legislature
was backed by some Of the, foremost
manufacturing interests in that part
of the state. There will be no conflict
between the power company and
present concerns regarding the sup
ply Of power to manufacture, it. is

PRETTY GIRLS ASSEMBLE PARTS
OF THE BEAD.
How Other Rubber Articles Used
Every Day Are Made Is
Graphically Shown.

One of the questions in the mind
Of the average motorist is the "why'
Of the cord tire. What is the DIFF
ference in construction between it and
the casing CT the fabric making? Do
you know there is a vast difference
between the Silvertown Cord and
other cord" tires?
The answers to these questions are
this week depicted in motion pictures
for the benefit of hundreds of Ell
Centre motorists who are interested
in tire economy. Through the efforts
OF Mr.. Bowen, of Bowen & Ettleson,
the well known tire dealers, the reel
Of the Goodrich Educational Serial
that shows the making Of Silvertown
! Cord Tires has been secured for this
city and will be shown Tuesday, No
vember 20, at the Palace theatre.
| First is shown the manufacture Of
the Silvertown cable cord that makes
up the carcass Of the famous tire Cot
| ton strands are fitted into tube and
met by a flow of pure rubber at the
other end. They are thus impregnat-
ed and thoroughly saturated with the
rubber, all the air particles being
driven out.
These rubberized strands next go
through giant winding machines,
where they are braided into cable
cords of wonderful residence. These
cords are the chief strength units of
the tire and form the simple two-ply
construction which is the feature Of
the Silvertown A single cord will
hold the weight of 250-pound man.
Mr.. Bowen has made arrangements
for the serial showing of the entire
six reels of the Goodrich Educational
feature. They show in detail the
making of the multiple rubber pro-
ducts that play so important a part
in everyday life, and should prove in
teresting and beneficial to the people
