side when the West makes a mis-
take"
He told the students that the
Arab world. "if given the chance,
would gladly Join the West" a
step it cannot take now because
of disagreements over policy.

Officials Dedicate
Niagara Falls Dam

NIAGARA FALLS. ont. Sept
% R.-Canadian and United
States officials today dedicated
a new wing dam designed to
add to the beauty Of Niagara
Falls and preserve them from
excessive erosion.
The dam, financed equally
by Canada and the United
States. projects out less than
halfway into the Niagara River
from the Canadian shore. It Is
equipped with gates to direct
the flow Of water evenly across
the entire width of the falls.
For centuries the rivers flow
has cut deeper into the horse
shoe falls on the Canadian
side. drawing more water which
in turn speeded up erosion. BY
drawing more water over the
Canadian falls. the process also
was threatening to dry up the
American falls.
Speakers at the dedication
ceremonies included National
Resources Minister Alvin Ham,
iilton Of Canada and Army
Secretary Wilbur Brucker OF
the United States.

Judge Dissents
The jury agreed with the

and was upheld by the Supreme
Court when he observed:
"The driver who is blinded
by bright lights and continues
to drive at the same or even
only a slightly accelerated pace
has transformed his car into a
death-dealing juggernaut. If
while travelling in that elonga-
ted dark zone he runs down
