C. each day , before going to school. Paul o- penerl liis own hotly repair shop in Ghesler in lOlG. He had e- nouL'h body repair business to keep an IS-m.an crew busy which is is remarkable for a town of i this size. This is no reflection on Hie liriving habits of Chester res idents - - it just indicates the rep utation for quality workmanship that Hullan’der built up over the years.

A large part of the dealer ship’s total business cojnes from the body fehop and service de part ments. Threequarters of the eollision repair work in Chester ' County is done at Paul’s. ! Paul first tried his hand at re- i tail selling in 1£>30 when he sign ed a .Studebaker franchise. He tlid well, at least with pickups consistently outselling all compe- titive makes. He signed with Pontiac in 1955, GMC in '56 t.Standard-Line), AMC the next year and Buick the year after I ihat. lake so many dual dealers he enjo.vs selling trucks. His many eommunity and civic activities bring him in contact with many of tiie people who buy trucks. ' .I’aul is president of the Ches ter E.xchange Club, chairman of i his church administration board, I chairman Of the Rural Fire Com- jnission and vice-chairman of the Local Development Board, Be sides an opportunity to contrib ute to the tfimmunity these act- , ivitics keep him in touch with whafs happening in Chester. He enumerated some of the develop ments in the last few years: “We've had eight or ten impor tant diversified industries come in here. Wo have several textile mills, the newe.‘’t being a multi million dollar Springs Mills olant, Atlantic Richfield is spend ing $250 million to build a facil- ill' for recycling atomic fuel cores. Essex International is building a $5.5 million plant to m::rr. facture telephone cable. We 'Will undoubtedly have a broader y By UNOA BISER BEHRENS In three more months, weather permitting, Harold Peden will have seen iliat 750,000 tons pf earth are moved. Then th® Rut" falo Creek Lam will he compflet- ed. Buiffalo Creek is a riyer to Harold Peden ba;ause Its too b(s for a creek, he says. The Pedqn construction company of Green* vllle, S. C-. that he owns with his brother, Sam, wili finish clean ing the “creek” bed in several days and then begin ipyramidi^g the earth dam. They have already diverted the stream through a five foot culvert in order to tidy up the bed by re moving three to four ifeet 9t eUt 'Which dams cannot be bo||t MBVn. I The channeled water ngvy t hvn- ders from the pipe iptg a tiny I tuhbulenL lagoon with a rora base at a'bout the site where the future spillway of the dam vvill be. The earth dam will be pUnd be tween two hills aihwart the creek; on one hill stands the in take plant and five graves were removed from the other. Thp big hill beside the diverted Stream will provide the etean earth for the outer pervious part of the dam and the red tlAy hills Of the bowl shaped reservoir area will provide the Impervious inner core which will ^ an inner pyra mid 200 feet at the base tapering to about 6 feet at the top. ’Hte outer pyramid hull of the’ dam will be about 1800 feet long, a- bout ^ feet wide, and 120 feet high, accohding to specifications of Dixon Construction Co. of Charlotte, architects and con tractors. The spillway will be faced with rip rap rock (big boulders to retain the earth). Some water will seep through the pervious part although each five inch layer of earth laid in the dam will be packed with a sheep's tooth roller attached to a heavy mariiine. (A sheep's tooth roller is like an iron rol ling pin with blunt spikei) But no water will seep through the impervious core, otherwise a leak might develop. This has not occurred so far with any of thp 15 similar dams that Mr. Peden’s firm has built, he says. The surrounding hills may look a little flimsy for retaining the lake Mr. Peden doesn't as sure there will be no flooding, but he doubts that there wHl be. A contour mapping, of the area by the Dickson firm has prede termined the ejgcint'of the water level, he says. Gillespie Construction Com pany of Anderson, S. C., built the water plant but subcontracled the dam construction to Peden. Mr. Peden doesn’t say what his firm’s share of the total 1.5 mill ion dollar contract (ills estimate) will be. The Peden firm has been en gaged in the work at intervals for three months employing 25 men. They removed the small timber that remained at the site and .burned it (predominantly hickory, oak and pine). The or iginal land owners had already removed the larger timber of va lue, Mr. Peden said. flegarding other natural as peots of the area, he observed j that a few snakes were routed ' during clearing and that the men report carp and suckers iiiliabil the waters. The swiftly flowing muddy red water looks a little unappetizing for drinking or bathing, but Mr. Peden anticipates that as the res ervoir fills, the mud will settle out. Filling the reservoir will re quire one year. The water intake plant lacks pumps which have heen on order for a year and are sidetracked in Chicago, ho reports. But once the equipment an-ives, utilizing the jlam-med water will be ex peditious. he believes. Even on Sunday- work pro ceeds.

Seven 25 yard pan graders ! are parked on the horizon amid [ other grading machinery and Thursday, June 25, 1970 trailers. The hardest part is Hie initial grading when dynamite is ni«d- ed to sci-atch the surface, Peden says. Dynamite will 1h> quired again at Buffalo Creek’ terminate the underground, tom- poraty, diversionary culvert. Mr. Peden began in the grading business in 1939 wltli mules in- itead of the present day nieeh- anization. Progress evolved In the industry with the advent of maeJilnes with rubber tire.s al though steel tracked caterpillars' are still required on the tou-gl^. est terrains, he says. Gradinif': was an industry well before th* digging of the Panama CanaL In addition to building dams the Poden firm grades construction, sites, such as the site for Contin-x ental Can in Augu.sta, Ga. t;. The average contribution to CARE last year was $1025.
