Many New Norway Power Plants
Are Now Nearing Completion
OSLO—Following years of build
ing. the first in an impressive se
ries of Norway's newest hydro
electric projects is nearing comple
tion. and much-needed power from
the giant H01 project in Halling
dal is expected to stream through
the wires to Oslo on Christmas eve.
Despite difficulties in securing
needed materials from abroad.
work has progressed steadily and
hundreds of workmen are pushing
toward the Christmas deadline.
The first turbine and generator
are already mounted while parts
for the second unit are already at
the site.
Whether the transformers will
be completed by December 15th
will depend upon the receipt of
needed parts from abroad. Erec—
tion of the 120-foot transmission
towers has been under way for
some time. and by late August the
project‘s main reservoir was filled
to capacity.
The Hol project is but one of the
dozen or more large-scale hydro
electric projects which have been
developing quietly since Norway‘s
liberation. A mainstay in the Gov
ernment‘s reconstruction program.
the completion of units such as
these has demanded that purchases
from abroad be. increasingly eon
fined to steel, machines and other
construction goods.

Among the projects now build
ing are those at Rossaaga and
Aura. each of which will produce
200.000 KW’s. The Lyse project in
Rogaland will have a capacity of
150.000 KW's while the Maar de
velopment will have two turbine
dynamo units turning before the
year's end. Two additional units
are to be installed at Maar by the
end of 1940, according to present
‘plans. Expansion of present capa
city at Vinstra and Aabora is now
occupying large labor forces. and
‘these projects are expected to be
completed by 1951 respectively.
The long and costly development
of these power sources is naturally
reflected in the daily living pattern
or most Norwegians. But by con
centrating on this aspect of recon
1struction. present shortages of
consumer‘s goods will be laying
the foundations for increased Nor

struction planners.

Soviet Antarctic
Whaling Doubted
According to Norwegian sources
{the Russian whaxzng factory ship
“Slava” may not participate in
Antarctic whaling during the com

begin this autumn. Norwegian
whaling men employed aboard the
Russian vessel last season have
now been dismissed, and it is
doubted whether the Soviets will
take steps to hire new crews in
Norway.
According to Norwegian whal

large Manganese
Vein In Norway
According to reports from Sta
vanger. Norway. earlier indications
of manganese deposits in the Sul
dal area have been confirmed. An
alysis of ore samples shows up to
50 per .cent m'anganese content.
and the outcroppings from which
the samples were taken are re
ported to indicate a sizeable vein,
Engineers note that the site is
advantageously located and that
transportation would constitute a
minor problem. Whether or not
the Suldal vein is to be worked
will depend upon the results of
further prospecting in the area.
