"We should be able to get out I the stranded boats within 301 days," Mr. Forehand staled yes-1 terday. "but It will be probably 00 i to 90 days before repairs to the I spillway are completed." A pant; of laborers was at work ' yosterday. digging assiduously] about the foot of the spillway pre liminary to installing sheet piling! to prevent a recurrence of last . week's mishap. Machinery was j on the way to the spot, to bo used 1 in repairing the damage. Mr.! Forehand offered assurance that every effort would be made to ' complete the work as quickly as was practicable. Besides the spillway, the con-] structlon forces at work nt the j point where the break occurred j must patch a 60-foot pap cut by . the roarlnp torrent throupli th" canal bank Itfelf just beyond the damaped structure. At this point, a doubln row of piling will be' driven and tied together, and the | space between will be filled with ? earth, making the bank there J stronger than It ever was before, : and materially lessening the likeli hood of another similar accident. Curious ones have been paying visit to South Mills all week to view the scene of the mishap, the unusual nature of it adding to Its impular interest.

He cau- j tloned the children against some | of the causes or this appalltBg toll of human life. The speaker declared that j "hitching on" automobiles, children who are on skates, skoot ers, coasters, bicycles and Ihe like, causes a largo per cent of the In- j Juries and deaths. He also called attention to the necessity of walk- 1 ing on the left side of streets I where no sidewalks arc provided, and on the rural highways. In i doing this the traffic is facing the j pedestrian, and he may better pro tect himself from accident. "Cross at crossings and not In j the middle of the block; walk ! across the street alertly but do not j run; never play in the street or j pull raincoat or umbrella over your face while walking In" the I street/' he advised?
