TERRACE BAY NEWS AUGUST 10, 1978 [00KING BACK) 30 YEARS AGO - AUGUST 5, 1948 On July 8th, history: was made at Terrace Bay when two steel gates in the newly constructed Hydro" Dam across the Aguasabon River were lowered into position, thereby blocking the flow of the river into Lake Superior. On August 1st the water had risen behind the dam more than 77 feet, from the former river level of 822 feet above sea level. This rise in level has formed Terrace Lake in the interim, and pulp logs driven down Long Lake and the Aguasabon River can now be brought into position at the Jack Ladder for their trip to the Woodroom or Woodyard. The first logs were taken from Terrace Lake to the Woodyard on Monday afternoon August 2nd. 25 YEARS AGO - AUGUST 6, 1953 STORK CLUB: Congratulations this week go to Mr. and Mrs. John Holancin on the birth of a daughter on July 30th; Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
