“Amazed at Creation of Their Own Hands,” Border Cities Star. October 29, 1932. Page 8. --- SOMETHING akin to wonder and amazement at their own handiwork is reflected in this cross-section of workers at the opening of the mammoth Dnieprostroy Dam in Soviet Russia, October 10. All have had their hand in its construction, but the completed project suddenly becomes gigantic, beyond their wildest dreams. Their intensity of interest in the proceedings is typical, as are their costumes. Note the sprinkling of representatives of the military in the crowd. Col. Hugh L. Cooper, American, supervised the building of the dam.
