7 1000 Acre Reservoir Would
Provide Possibilities For
RecreutionuI Use

Plans for development of a major
coal-burnng electric power plant
in the Canaan Valley, on the shores
Of a 7,00O-acre reservoir that would
offer extensive recrcationa possi-
bilitics, were disclosed this week
by Don Potter president Of Monon-
gahela Power company.
The project which Potter cx-
planned is still in the planning
stage, with no time table for CON
struction as yet set up, would
mean broad economic benefits to
the observation-disclosures area.
First step would be a dam on
the Blackwatcr, three miles up
stream from Davis, forming
giant-sized cooling pond to serve
power generation facilities, at an
approximate cost Sl.00O00000.
First unit of the proposed power
plant would cost in the neighbour
hood of $4OO00,00000, with other
units to follow The generating
station would mean much i'll the
way Of coal mining payrolls, since
it would burn large quantities of
coal from the immediate area.
Since the primary purpose of
the huge pond, would be TO pro-
vide cooling water for the power
stations condcnscrs, the water
would be maintained at a constant
level, permitting development of
the waterfront area for recreation
al and tourist uses.
Potter said that the develop
mcnt, once it is approved, will be
carried on by the entire West Penn
Electric System, of which his
company is a part
His announcement of the prof.
Get came at this time to dispcl con-
flicting rumors that have resulted
from the utility systems activiti-
ties in. the area. Engineering sur
veys and acquisition of land had
excited public interest and specu-
lation.
There's lot Of work to be
done on this proposition before
, actual work is started, Potter
said, but it is very definitely a
part of our planning for future
power supply. Our requirements
are growing and this area, with
its extensive seams Of coal easily
available, lend itself ideally to the

the wreckage his front end was
resting against guard rails.

thick you couldn't see your hand
in front Of you He told officers
AS soon as my car stopped we

Little Stella Merrbach, 12-year-
old Garrett county girl, who was
rushed to City hospital in Balti-
more from a Cumberland hospital
last week, was reported improving
in health and was undergoing eX-
tcnsive laboratory tests this week
to determine the extent of the at
tack of bulbar polio.
The girl had race with death
at 105 miles per hour as she sped
toward the hospital. Doctors had
said Stella, of near Grantsville, was
in dire need of oxygen when the
ambulance, red lights flashing and
siren screaming, screeched to halt
at the emergency entrance TO the
hospital. She was rushed to surgery
where a tracheotomy was per-
formed and breathing tube placed
for emergency use.
The girl became i'll several days
ago and was admitted to Memorial
hospital in Cumberland last We'd
nesday. Her condition deteriorated
and her doctor made arrangements
for the trip to Baltimore. The race
for life began Saturday afternoon
at 1905 when the ambulance driven
alternately by Thomas Litton, and
Roy Cowgirl, roared out of Cum
berland behind a police escort.
Besides Stella and the two drivers,
two nurses from the hospital and
the childs older brother were in
the ambulance The nurses began
administering oxygen just east Of
Hagerstown, and the supply was
running low as they ncared Balti-
more. Litton said he spotted Bal
timore city police car and told the
officer of the little girls plight.
The policeman radioed for another
patrol car When it arrived they
sped off with one crusier before
and one behind the ambulance.
City hospital physicians said Stella
desperately needed fresh supply
of oxygen by the time she reached
them.
While cIassed clinically as suf-
fcring from polio the exact nature
of the ILLNESS will not be known
until after the lab tests are COM
pleted.

Machine Smushes Into Pulp
Truck Near Bloomington
EurIy Tuesday

Two young men were killed
about sos Tuesday morning when
a tractor-trailer hauling $500 gal
Ions Of hydrochloric acid went out
of control on Backbone mountain,
east of Bloomington and pl0Wed in
to a loaded pulpwood truck parked
near the wood yard Of the Luke
mill of the West Virginia Pulp and
Paper company.
Dead were Thomas Lee Farmer,
q. of Belle, w. Va, driver OF the
tanker rig, and Glenn Moreland
Snyder, &c, of Levels, w Va, who
was believed to have been asleep
in the cab Of the parked log truck.
1t was not known whether Farm =
had lost control of his rig at the
top Of the four mile mountain or
near the bottom However the i'm
pact OF the crash hurled large logs
and metal as high as 30 feet into
the air.
Dale Lyden, Homecoming, night
Waterman at the wood yard, said
he was punching a time clock at
the lower end of the yard when
he heard the whine Of the tractor
trailer as ii came through Bloom
ington at a high rate of speed. He
said it was still dark. Within sec
onds the huge rig sped across a
nearby bridge and tracks used to
haul the logs from the yard to the
mill and into the parked log truck.
The impact sounded like an eX-
plosion. Mr.. Lyden called the guard
at the main gate of the mill to re-
port the accident and asked tof
police and firemen
The two victims were buried IN
der tons of steel, pulpwood and the
acid which speWed out onto the
highway Police, firemen and others
worked about three hours before
they were able to remove the
bodies from the acid-drenched
Wrcckage.
Several other pulpwood trucks
were parked near the entrance to
