Engineers will test underlying rock above Niagara Falls from a coffer dam built upstream on the American side. The project aims to prevent future slides like 1931 and 1954 that changed the falls face. Dam removal by year end triggers actions to ensure a strong water plunge for visitors.
Foreign visitors see a wide range of U.S. charitable efforts. A BAC program aids crippled children and an Indian mission seeks funds for Easter dresses, needing fabric thread zippers and more. The piece highlights generous American response and a moral reminder from Romans 5:8.
John Chamberlain profiles Max Eastman, praising his lifelong sun loving, health focus, and disciplined intellect.
