...Freud was one of several notables invited to attend the 20th-anniversary celebration of Clark University in Worcester, Mass. Freud was hostile from the start. He noted that the world's finest collection of Cyprian antiquities was in New York City. He wanted to see that and Niagara, he said, and nothing more. Freud spent his first days in the New World tramping around museum collections rifled from the Old. He visited Coney Island, dined at Hammerstein's Roof Garden, and was "quietly amused" by his first movie. Freud called America "a gigantic mistake," and wrote pettishly that...
...satisfy proud Canadians and wary bankers, T.G.T. and Trans-Canada agreed that when the transcontinental line is built Tennessee Gas will stop delivering Texas gas to eastern Canada through its line at Niagara. At that time (probably 1957) T.G.T. will reverse the flow and take into the U.S. any surplus gas in eastern Canada. To prepare its eastern market, Trans-Canada this year plans to build a 350-mile line from Toronto to Montreal...
FIRST ATOMIC POWER for U.S. commercial use will be sold by the AEC to New York's Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. Power will come from the AEC's land-based experimental submarine reactor at West Milton, N.Y., will drive a 10,000-kw. generator, supplying enough electricity to STVC a city of 20,000. Cost to Mohawk: 3 mills per kwh, about the same, as paper mills and shoe companies, which have small hydroelectric plants, charge local utilities for their excess power...
Originally a saltwater dweller, the sea lamprey moved up the fresh water of the St. Lawrence and into Lake Ontario to spawn, then developed a fresh-water species. The building of Canada's Welland Canal provided a detour around the natural barrier of Niagara Falls, and in the past 20 years the pests have begun to thrive in Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and, more recently, in Lake Superior. Multiplying enormously, with each female averaging 61,500 eggs, and feeding greedily, with each maturing lamprey devouring up to 40 pounds of fish, they have already wiped...
...aircraft has been flying, rather tentatively, at Niagara Falls, N.Y. over the past few weeks. It looks like a light private plane with a bulky ashcan suspended under each wing, and helicopter skids instead of wheels. Last week Bell Aircraft Corp. told how it works. It is a jet-powered VTOL (vertical take-off and landing), and Bell believes that from it will develop jet fighters and transports that can rise like helicopters from a small patch of ground, then turn themselves into normal-flying airplanes...
