A week age someniain. reads were
still closed to motor traffic, but this
week most of them are down to the
gravel as ag test* of continued mild
'Weather for the.past few days. The
Lucknow tb Amberley road Was not
opened untilThursday, when the
"big" plow came through after the
regular .highwaY plow had broke
down this side of AmberleY on Tues-
day. Te Dungannon road was open-
ed Sat day but was deeply rutted
and ne :. thing to impassible over
the week -end. •
• The they/ this week has 'created
a miniature lake on main street. The -

failed with Water rising to a degree
that 'partially flooded the sidevealk
