Lucran the Greek, 2nd century, A. D. Established March 1, 1882 Our 81st Year "Excepr the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." Psalm 127: J. Flood Plain Zoning The Clinton County Planning Commission devoted some time this week to a subject which has been opened up several times in the recent past, by spokesmen for the U.S. Army Engineer Corps and others interested in the economics of flood protection.

That subject is the identification of all land which will be too low for full protection from future floods, even after all feasible protection has been given. The prevention of major future construction in this "flood plain," is part of the problem. Unless this type of zoning is adopted and enforced, the task of permanent flood protection could become impossible. Tf people keep on building valuable structures in areas too low to be protected by the dams and supplementary flood control structures which are economically justified by the present property investment, the inevitable result: will be a future demand for more flood protection. Flood plain zoning is the logical and necessary next step after construction of the basic protection in the form of retention dams.

Two of the major dams on the West Branch are now in existence, on the First Fork of the Sinnemahoning Creek, and on Kettle Creek, as well as a smaller dam on Little Pine Creek. Relocation of railroad tracks and highways in the site of the Curwensville Darn is now going on, and test borings have been made at the proposed location of the Blanchard dam. Taken all together these dams will be able to reduce the level of a future flood by four or five feet, depending on where the rain- lall is heaviest. This is not complete protection, but it is much better than anything in the past, and adequate to the present needs of the valley. It will not remain adequate, however, if there is continued investment in buildings in areas which will still suffer from flood water.

In the West Branch Valley, for Instance, the proposed series of flood control dams, with some supplementary dikes, levees, dredging, and small dams, to deal with local situations here and there, has been designed to take care of the flood protection problem an it now exists. These structures will not provide protection for new buildings that may be erected on very lowest- lying land, now unoccupied because of past flood dangers. If the owners of such land now suddenly decide that they can take a chance on buildings on these sites, they can throw the whole flood control plan out nf kilter. Enough hardship and difficulty has been suffered by those whose property had to be taken for the basic dams and reservoirs; there should be no trend toward pushing the need for flood protection beyond what it is now. There are plenty of sites within the area of adequate flood protection to take care of our future needs and opportunities for expansion and development.

We should utilize those sites for the future and take steps to prevent construction in the "flood plain" which might result in damage from future floods and future demands for more dams. The three most tsuentia! to the human body seem to the wishbone, backbone and Sharing in a Windfall A number of and former residents of this community have a right to share in a windfall of a million and a half dollars, money on deposit with banks, insurance companies, and other corporations, whose owners either have forgotten about it or never realized they had it. An advertisement in this newspaper recently listed the names of score or more individuals who are on the verge of losing their claim to various sums, ranging from a few dollars to a couple of thousand. A similar list appears today. Some of these accounts, it is obvious from reading the list, belong to defunct organizations whose treasurers are credited with deposits winch were left on hand when the organization quit its activi- ties.

Others may be the result of bequests or other gifts which were handled in such a way that the recipients did not fully realize that they possessed new assets. In any case, what happens when such funds lie around unused and unclaimed for a certain length of time is that the state steps in, ready to pour the forgotten money into the public pock'et. Before taking possession, however, the law requires the commonwealth to advertise the accounts, so that the proper owner can get busy and col- Ifct what belongs to him. always pays to read the c'assificcl ads, but in this case, those whose names are given in the escheats list published today can really benefit in immediate tangible profits.

Kansas City Doctors On line same day the Sena'e turned down the Medicare hill, the Federal Trade filed a aga.in.vt a group of doctors and hospital-: in Kansas City, which, if brought earlie-, inighi have changed the Sena'e vote.

This is exactly what the AMA charged the medicare bill would do. In case after case in Kansas City, patients would order blood from the Midwest or World Blood banks and the blood would be delivered to the hospital. only have it rejected by the doctors in favor of their own blood bank. In some cases the of blood was almost twice as high when supplied by the doctors.

It seems that one fellow claims you don't have to cut your weeds if you're a politician, and the other fellow says there are plenty of people besides politicians who don't cut their weeds. Well, it seems to me that if a citizen is supposed to cut his weeds, we should all do not because we're in politics or out of politics, but because it makes a better community, with less mosquitoes and nicer scenery.

I'm not in politics, but I've just spent a fistfuli of five dollar bills getting the weeds cut on land I own, just because I don't want my name connected with a weed patch. I'm not going around looking to see who else isn't cutting weeds, or asking if they are politicians, preachers or petiifoggers. So far as can see. there is no credit in proving you are the big exception and don't have to cut your weeds. I'd rather prove I'm the big exception the other way, and show that I cut my weeds before the cops send me a notice.

And if I'm so important that they don't send me a notire. I'm still in pretty sad company if all those other people can get by with their weed patches. Why doesn't the city go out with its grass cutter and clean up the weed patches and send the bill to all those people who like their weeds?
