Wells Man Badly
Hurt In Accident
A rash of automobile accidents,
one of which resulted in serious
injuries to a 17-ycar-utd Wells
youth., kept Texas Highway Pa-
trolmen busy Saturday. Highways
made slick by rains made driving
somewhat hazardous.
The Welts youth. Gene Adams,
sustained severe lacerations and
bruises shortty after midnight
when his ]953-modc! sedan plung-
ed off a bridge on Highway 69 in
Cherokee County, just across the
Angelina County line.
Adams, who is employed by a
Lufkin cafe, was headed toward
Wells at the time of the mishap,
according to Highway Patrolmen.
He said an unidentified vehicle in
front of him stowed down sudden-
ly, forcing him to hit his brakes
quickly.
The automobile skidded off the
bridge and landed in deep water.
Adams was rescued immediately,
but the car wasn't pulled out of
the swift water until 8 a.m. Sat-
urday morning, almost seven
hours after the accident.
"We had a job on our hands
getting the car out," a wrecker
service spokesman said. "Every-
time we tried to lift the car up,
the water woutd turn it back from
the two wreckers."
Adams was reported in "fair
condition" late Saturday by Mem-
orial Hospital attendants. He was
taken to the hospital by a Lufkin
ambulance.
About $500 in damages was in-
flicted to the automobile.—Lufkin

Tyler, 52 mites northwest of Luf-
kin, and 48 miles northeast of

Lake Stryker,, with 2,300 sur-
face acres, was constructed by the
Angetina and Nacogdoches Coun-
ties Water Control and Improve-
ment District No. 1. A contract
with TP&L covering water to be
used in operating the steam power
ptant enabled the Water District
to buitd the dam to form Lake
Stryker.
The plant will be the largest
single-unit station on the TP&L
System.

first view of the out-door type
station. Guided tours will be con-
ducted through the plant from

visitors through the plant in
such a manner that each point of
interest can be brought to their
attention. - *.<*
Employee guides will be posted
in and around the plant to answer
questions and otherwise serve as
hosts.
Each oipen hcuse visitor Friday
will receive an attractive book-
let describing the station and its
functions. There will also be re-
freshments and special exhibits.
Ample parking space will be pro-
vided.
As visitors proceed through the
generating station they will see
the electricity-making machinery
in actual operation. They will see
the giant boiler where water is
converted into super-heated
steam at 1,935 pounds per square
inch and 1000 degrees F. tempera-
ture; the big turbo-generator; the
condensers which cool the steam
after it has been used; the hun-

teresting machines.
The boiler at Stryker Creek is
136 feet high and weighs seven
million pounds. It is suspended
from the top of its supporting
frame work. Under steam pres-
sure and high temperatures, it ex-
pands and its suspension from
the top permits the unit to expand
downward toward the ground.
The turbo-generator at the
plant is mounted on greased
grooves which support it as it ex-
pands horizontally under high
temperature.
An air-conditioned, brick ser-
vice building provides for the
operating personnel and also con-
tains an assembly room and a lab-
oratory with the latest testing
equipment.
A control building is a part of
the turbine pedestal. It has an
air-conditioned room which is the
nerve center of the plant. The
operators control from this loca-
tion the operation of the equip-
ment and the switching of loads
on the out-going lines.
