 Rain Now Would Make Trouble. A rapid rise in temperature dur 1 ing Wednesday, when the mercury ran | up from an early morning mark of zero to we'll above the freezing point during the middle of the afternoon brought visions of flood to the peo- l pie of the towns along the Quinebaug and Assawaga rivers.
 | Not in the memory of this genera ! tion have these rivers been covered with such heavy letters of ice as en- chain them at this time and it is real ized that a quick thaw and heavy rains, of which there has been none since November, will mean disaster along the water courses that supply power to many important manufac- turing plants, It was being suggest ed Wednesday that the time has come to take all precautions for the protec- ton of dams and bridges that would be endangered by the going out of the 1 ice battering rams under the pres sure of freshet.
