Conceived in 1952 by Newfoundland Premier Joey Smallwood, the Churchill Falls project is named for the late Sir Winston, who quickly gave it his blessing as a "great imperial concept." Smallwood also sold Britain's N. M. Roth schild & Sons on heading a consortium, British Newfoundland Corp., Ltd., to develop it. For the five-year construction job, Brinco expects to hire 5,000 men, fly in 600 million lbs. of equipment and supplies. For a starter, it has already bridged the river above the falls, and built an access road to a townsite and an airfield 10 miles away...
