T A photn Potential threat Issues flood warning The Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority has notified all municipalities in its watershed of flooding potential this spring, and is hoping they will .watch for and inform it of possible flood conditions in their areas. In a letter to 32 municipalities sent two weeks ago, water resources coordinator Frank Beletz noted the heavy snow ac- cumulation in the area and its potential for rapid melting. "The notice was designed to give them an idea of what potential exists," he said. Measurements at eight different stations taken by staff show that snow packs now have twice the run-off potential of a normal year, he explained. If a sudden thaw is immi- nent. the Authority would be notified by a sister branch in Toronto which is equipped with a forecast center. Locally. the Authority has precipitation gauges to measure rainfall which could start rapid melting, he said. Authority staff take snow density and stream flow measurements to determine if flood conditions are pre- sent. In his letter, Beletz. said flooding could start if temperatures rise for several days or if there is Creley appears in Blyth soon Jack Creley, veteran star of television, movies and stage, has been signed by Muskoka Festival to star in the touring production of Sleuth which will appear at Blyth Memorial Hall, Tuesday, March 2, at 8 p.m. Creley, who has appeared for many years on CBC television and appeared in such movies as Dr. Strangelove, spent nine seasons at Stratford, two at Shaw Festival and has been Exeter. 425 Main St. 235-0530 Ask about our Tax Preparation Service OLD AGE SECURITY PENSIONS ltsRENEWAL , TIME Again roan= GIJARANTEE CO SIJPPLEMENT or Spouse's Itllowance Benefits 50 YOU WILL CONT►NUE TO RECEIVE IT AFTER MARCH 31, 1962. 11 you have any prob4ms M cootpMting the form, or have any guesttore, contact the nearest Income security Program. oM ee.

CONTACT BOB McKINLEY (Telephone Hensall 262-5462) Dominion Lie ;r THE DOMINION LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY "The offers of the board relative to administration salaries, have been ac- cepted. The reason for the acceptance is simply that no good can come to this school system by the director, the board or for that matter, the group of concerned ratepayers engaging in debate, on what has become an emotionally charged issue. What was a board responsibility was turned into a public issue. I think it should remain a board responsibility. I hope by this action, we can remove ob- stacles that stand in the way of better understanding and careful consideration of the facts, as they actually exist," Eckert said in a prepared statement.Me- mbers of a concerned ratepayers group, headed by R.J. Maloney of RR 5 Seaforth, were present at the meeting. While declining an opportunity to make com- ment, Maloney said he had a summary on the number of persons who contacted the group regarding ad- ministration salaries. There with members of the original committee set up as a reaction to the director and superintendent turning down salary offers, Maloney said he had received several hundred responses. The group had established contact with ratepayers by writing "Letters to the Editor" in 15 newspapers across l-luron and Perth. Maloney said the sum- maries are available to trustees for their perusal.
