Wells have gone Anxious Over Floods By JOHN MILLS AJAX (Staff) -- The weather of the next 24 hours will determine what sort of a spring the people in the Duffin's Creek area will experience, Old-timers in the re- gion are not too happy about the prospects. They recall, with tre- pidation, the spring of 1955, and former years. The effects of con- servation measures carried out in the past two or three years will not be felt yet. Heavy snowfalls in the high land around Uxbridge and Glen Major combined with sub-zero temperatures and the absence of the usual January thaw have created conditions that could re- sult in bad flooding this year. Duffin's Creek drains a huge area. The east branch extends with its smaller tributaries far north of Glen Major. The. west branch extends up through White- vale and northward into Uxbridge township. Both these areas have had neavy snow falls. Paradoxi- dry or almost dry since the fall. One farmer north of Picker- ing Village who depends on Duf- fin's Creek for a water supply for his cattle, cuts a channel every few days out through the is frozen solid to the bottom. The flow is at a very low level. Mild weather, combined with a heavy rainfall could start bad floods. It must be noted that the fall of the creek, from its north- ern limits to the lake is over 1200 feet. In the Pickering area, north of No. 2 Highway, the fall is 75 feet in less than a mile. This rapid drop causes the flood waters to rise at an alarming rate. Residents of Riverside drive, north of Pickering Village have Dynamite was used in the Rlv- erside area four years ago to break 'up bad ice jams. Since then, some bad bends in the creek have been eliminated, and in the past two years the ice and floods have got away without any serious difficulty, Two danger points still exist that can cause much inconven- ience to the public. The first is on No. 2 Highway, west of Pickering Village. At this point in previous years flood water has covered the highway to a depth of four feet and large chunks of ice have already expressed their alarm to the township council. One spokes- man suggested that dynamite be| used to break up the ice before] the floods start. | David Crichton, a Riverside ratepayer, told council Monday evening that the floods in his area would be bad. He stated| that already arrangements had been made to evacuate several families to the village and He/ use of the village hall had been arranged. | Jack Hambleton, another resi- dent of the Riverside area for Little flood danger is anticipat- many years sald "there is nojed south of the village and in doubt that there will be floods,|Ajax.

Ice jams here have caused flooding that have blocked this road. Westbound motorists have had to return to the Ajax clover- leaf in order to continue their journey.
