HIGH WATERS IN
 GOLD GREEK BUT
 CHARGE CHECKED

Last nights torrential rains sent Gold Creek surging up to it's high est level at least in the last three years, City Engineer J. L. McNam- ara reported to Mayor Waino Hendrickson today.
 The peak runoff came between 2 and o'clock this morning, when the crest measured over four feet on the newly installed creek guage. Engineer McNamara esti- mated that another half-foot of rise would have meant trouble.
 Several slides off the mountains brought mud and boulders into the stream but did not impede the rush of water to great extent, and caused no reported damage. High tide backed up the creek waters slightly at the mouth of the stream, but the creek flow dropped eff before serious consequences could result.
 The City had a power shovel standing by at the rock dump in case fill material was needed and shifts of men were out patrolling both banks of the creek throughout the night. Only slight sluffing was reported.

 Recognition was mutual, Huds- peth said, and the men offered no resistance. Hudspeth drove them back to Lansing and had them confined to maximum security cells last night.

But for the house of representa-

sounding one. A senate committee
wanted to call him Ellis Excel

Mussel Boat Equipped
With Underwater Sails

Along the Ohio and Kentucky
rivers are boats that have no
masts, but they are equipped with
underwater sails. They're called
unused diggers" and are used to
dig mussels from the mud at the
bottom of the river. Mussels come
from a species of fish whose shells
are used to make shirt buttons
and cheap jewelry.
A long rod having two dozen or
more hooks, hangs from the bot
tom of the boat. In order to coun-
teract the drag of the rod. a sheet
of muslin or canvas is dropped
window-shade fashion over the
bow of the boat. It sinks, fills with
water, and the river current
"sails" the boat downstream at
the required speed for digging
musselS.

Holiday Airs

1t won't be Christmas unless
you give more than a passing
thought to decorating your home
in the best holiday tradition.
With all sorts Of. ornaments now
available, you have but to touch
them with imagination to bring
forth decorations that will de-
light the. youngsters and imbue
the oldsters with holiday spirit.
First of all. what to do with
the Christmas cards? There are
two nice ways I can think of
using them. One has to do with
tying them with red and green
ribbon and hanging on the tree.
Or, you can make,a pretty bulle-
tin board or picture window out
Of them for all to see and read.
Do decorate your table for the
big feast. Get large white can
dies, the kind that look as though
they had dripped. tie them with
festive bows of red or green
ribbon. Also try to tie on some
blue and white tree ornaments.
Two of these set several inches
apart on the table are very eff
fective.
You can hang Christmas
presents on your door if they are
wrapped in some old, odd bits
Of red and green or blue oil
cloth. Use huge red bow.
