Ludlngton Dally News, Monday, January 25, 1965. Will Ask For Hearing In West State On G.L. WASHINGTON Public hearings on the Great Lakes water levels will be held sometime in May, Congressman Robert P. Griffin learned today. "I have been informed by the International Joint Commission that there will be three such meetings in both the United States and Canada," the Congressman said "There will be at least two months' notice as to time and location.

I will ask that one of them be held in. Western Michigan." At those meetings, the Congressman said, members of the public will have an opportunity to present their views on the disastrous water levels. Those who are planning to attend, he noted, would facilitate the procedure If they would put their statements in written form and, wherever possible, select spokesmen for groups that have common interests. The public hearings will follow by three months a meeting planned for next month between the International Joint Commission, representatives of each of the Great Lakes states and the Great Lakes Commission. No time or place has yet been announced for this meeting, designed as an informal exchange of information preliminary to more detailed study.

A similar meeting with Canadian officials was held Jan. 19 and 20 in Toronto Meeting with IJC officials were officials of the Ontario Province and observers from the Province of Quebec. Ontario Premier John P. Robarts offered the assistance of his government in the study, to be conducted by the IJC. "The water levels of Lakes Michigan, Huron and Erie are near disaster proportions," Congressman Griffin said, "Millions of dollars have been lost by shipping companies and a multitude of small businessmen along the shores Ugly shorelines have appeared in many places, lakeside businesses and cottages have been left high and dry and both sport fishing and hunting have been curtailed." The TJf was asked by the governments of Canada and the United States to conduct a study EVENINGS 7:00 AND 9:06 OPEN 6:41 NOW PLAYING LYRIC PHONE ADDED SPORTS TRAVEL CARTOON SHojVfVgjft 1 A of Great Lakes water levels last fall.

The study, Congressman Griffin was informed, is expected to last about five years. Both high and low water levels will be studied. 'Any regulatory works along the Lakes that may be proposed by this study must take both high and low water into account," the Congressman explained. "If a deeper channel is proposed to carry off high water, then regulatory works may be necessary to counteract this in times of low water. "The cost of such projects might turn out to be prohibitive.

"However, the extent of damage along the Lakes is so enormous, we must undertake this study." The IJC was organized In 1911 to settle differences along the border between Canada and the United States. It is made up of three members appointed by the President and three appointed by the Government of Canada. To implement the water levels study, the IJC announced in December it had appointed an International Great Lakes Levels Board f.o "act as principal adviser to the Commission and to organize, through the appropriate agencies in the United States and Canada, the detailed technical investigations and studies required."

Wednesday from the Stephens Chapel. Use Daily News Want Ads. Okay, so you hate Mondays Well really, who could blame you? It's the beginning of another week of those daily chores it takes to be a good wife and mother. Mondays are also blue washdays. And what's fun about that? Toting a heavy load of wash out to the clothesline is enough to discourage a weight lifter.

Then, too, the weather controls your washday schedule. Why let it? Look at the brighter side. With a new automatic Gaa dryer you just set the dial and forget it. AND, a Gas dryer will dry five loads of wash for the cost it takes to dry just one load with the other kind of dryer. So, forget about the weather.

Find out for yourself how quickly you'll begin looking forward to Mondays. Go on get happy. See the latest Gas dryers now on display at dealer or Gas Company showrooms. You'll be glad you did. In fact, you'll wish you had yesterday.
