'Wonago Water Level at Midpoint MUKWONAGO For now, the village will try to keep the water level at the dam where it is midway between Department of Natural Resources (DNR) suggestions for high and low water level. But still, Village Pres. Richard Hill wants to find out how the dam is sup posed to work whether advisable to have water as much as a foot below the gates of the dam. The question of the level was broached by Harold Warshauer, S107 W30511 Sandy Beach Road, Muk wonago Town Warshauer lives on Upper Phantom Lake, which he said used to flow down through the inlet into Lower Phantom Lake Thus, being a spring-fed lake, Warshauer said, it had none of the river or stream pollution common to many lakes.

That changed in 1972 when the village dam went up just east of the ES bridge, Warshauer told the board. He said water now gets backed up at the dam and carried up into Upper Phantom. had raw sewage floating in there last Warshauer said. The inlet between the two lakes used to be about Storm Storm Compared to April's from page Around the state, the winter storm, complete with blizzard winds and thunderstorms, left resi dents of the southeastern half of Wisconsin digging out from under more than half a foot of wet, sticky snow today The heavy snow, com bined with winds gusting to more than 40 miles per hour, downed power lines in much of south eastern half, cutting elec trie supplies for about 50,000 customers in the Mil waukee area alone Racine was perhaps the hardest hit. as about half the city was without power early today The storm caused closings of numerous schools and businesses, and public transportation was also disrupted Charles Zeigler, a spokesman for the Wiscon sin Electric said, really have no idea when power will be He said the heavy snow had caused power lines to snap, while tree branches had fallen on other lines and also had a little trouble with Snowmobile clubs were aiding in carrying re pairmen to the trouble spots, he said A Wisconsin Power and Light Co spokesman said numerous power lines had fallen across roadways and were unreachable until the roads were cleared Hans Rosenthal, a meteo rologist with the National Weather Service at Mil waukee, said the southeast half of the state could receive a total of 8-12 inches of snow before the storm diminished this afternoon, although he said he ex pected the total to be closer to eight than 12.

He also said strong northerly winds aiid resultant blizzard conditions would continue though the day The storm resulted from a low pressure system which moved northeas tward through the Midwest and was centered over northern Indiana this morning.

Continued from page 1 Last August, Turkish police, acting on an anonymous tip, seized a truckload of over two tons of raw opium, the biggest narcotics haul of all time, hidden under fruit. Refined, this would have produced about 474 pounds of heroin worth about $113 million on the streets of New York, Boston or Chicago. Turkish police said the opium had been buried underground for at least five years near Gaziantep, a smuggling center near the Turkish-Syrian border. Turkey helped to write and then signed the United ations single convention on narcotic drugs in 1966. This authorized Turkey and six other countries to grow the opium poppy legally for export intended for medical derivatives like morphine.

A U.N. narcotics board each year sets the worldwide quotas for the legal trade. Between 1959 and 1972, when the ban took effect, Turkey reduced from 21 to 9 the provinces where the opium poppy may be grown. If ban is lifted, Turkish farmers will, as before, sell their legal quotas to the government. Despite the government stand on the opium issue, Turkish courts have shown great severity in sentencing American and other foreign drug offenders caught smuggling or drugs from the outside world inside Turkey.

Last Dec. 28, for example, a criminal court in Antakya commuted to life imprisonment capital sentences it passed on three Americans: Joanne Marie McDaniel of Coos Bay, Catherine Zenz of Lancaster, Wis. and Robert Hubbard of Washington. Consular authorities and attorneys for these and about 50 other foreign drug offenders imprisoned in Turkey are hopeful that a national amnesty for this 50th anniversary of the Turkish Republic will reduce sentences and release many prisoners. Under terms of the prospective amnesty reported in Ankara, those serving life sentences would have their time cut to 24 years.
