[circa 1973]. (Paper covers) Very good plus. 16pp. Illustrations. "Power Town, Canada. The story of Great Falls is a truly Canadian story. Because Canada and the electrical power business are roughly the same age, it was inevitable that the development of water resources would go hand in hand with the development of the country. Great Falls generating station on the Winnipeg River is now in its 51st year of operation. The big story is in the people who made the station work, the people who came here half a century ago and who raised their chilren here, the people who lived their lives and died here. We dedicate this little book to them and to the people of every Power Town, Canada". Book about Generating Station. Time Period 1923-1973. Contributors include Thelma Bernard, Jack Howcroft, F.L.G.
