Flood currents broke the dam north of 1 6th Street Jan. 27, lowering the water level upstream by 8 feet. The deep channel north of the dam long had been a favorite stretch for boaters. BUT THE DAM, before it broke, was blamed for flooding golf courses upstream. Coffin Golf Course was closed for about two months in 1957 and 1958 as a result of spring floods, and Riverside was closed for a while.

Mayor Charles H. Boswell said the flooding cost the Board of Park Commissioners several thousand dollars in lost green fees. Boswell has asked the Board of Flood Control Com financed by an increase of 40 missioners and park hoard to survey the situation. The park board then can make a decision that probably will please golfers or boaters, but not both. ITS DECISION may be influenced by the fact boating fees do not even pay the salary of an attendant at the boat landing near 30th Street, Boswell said.

An accurate estimate of the cost of repairing the dam is almost impossible, said Thomas C. Conlcy, park department engineer, hut it would almost surely be at least $25,000, he added. BUT THE city has a tight lid on unhudgctcd expenses and no one knows where the money would rome from.

ALTHOUGH THE township advisory board has approved an increase in the cumulative school building fund raie from K5 cents to $1 25 per $100 of assessed valuation, the new rate faces possible remonstrance at a taxpayer hearing and must be approved by the State Board of Tax Commissioners.

Then Michelangelo let the cat out of the bag, and revealed the hoax. The art critics were so far out on a limb, they couldn't back up, so they had to concede that Michelangelo rated on a par with the great artists of antiquity. THE BEST TEACHER of art is available to everybody, namely. Nature. Yet many art museums hang monstrosities in their galleries that violate laws of Nature and the established psychological rules of art.

In psychology, for example, we have proved that an animate creature has more interest value than an inanimate. A dog or cow or child thus octweighs a much larger area of canvas devoted to a rock or house or even a vase or urn. HENCE, Edgar Guest starts out a jump ahead of all poetf, who gush with any "Ode to a Grecian Urn." For Edgar Guest writes poetry about love and sacrifice and death of loved ones. Because Edgar Guest is a contemporary, though he has the same knack of Shakespeare and Dickens in selecting human interest material and writing voluminously, a lot of snooty critics have left him out of the "anthologies." lSl i struction Center.

DEAD ARTISTS usually are rated far above those who are living, and the same is true of musicians and poets. Why? Because snooty critics say so! Michelangelo confronted this same dilemma in his day.
