The Ausable River in the Creek Floods Highway 2 PICKERING--Residents of the Duffin's Creek area are keeping an alert eye for flood conditions, but so far there is no need for them. The only inconvenience caused has been the flooding of High- way No. 2 at Pickering where two feet of water covers the roadway and traffic is being re- routed. Residents of Riverside Drive, recalling floods of other years when they were forced to evacu- ate, maintained an around-the- clock watch, but so far the wa- ter has been contained within the creek. Youngster Drowned In Humber TORONTO (CP) -- A 12-year- old boy from Guelph was drowned in the flood - swollen Humber River where it crosses tke grounds of the Thistletown hospital for emotionally disturbed children on the northwestern edge of Metropolitan Toronto, Police and firemen were draggig the water today for the body of John Hill, son of N. Hill of Guelph. Dr. J. D. Atcheson, acting hos- pital superintendent, said the boy tumbled into the river late Wed- nesday when he strayed from a group of young hospital patients he identified as "the improved children who had ground priv. ileges." He said a counsellor attempted to round up the youngers but "unfortunately the children went in' the wrong direction," John Hill ran along the top of the flood- swollen river bank and "slipped and tumbled in." Dr. Atcheson said the counsel- lor and youngsters stood by help- could do," he said.

The real interest centres on the final portions of his address when he forecasts 1960-61 revenues and the tax rates through which he will achieve a surplus, deficit or balanced budget.

The tax rates for raising the money and the anticipated yield from them are closely guarded secrets, known fully only to Mr. Fleming, Prime Minister Diefen- baker and a few senior civil serv- ants until today. On budget day the finance minister usually gives the cabinet a briefing on them, The guessing has been that Mr. Fleming will aim at a balanced budget without major tax relief. Some of this is based on the minister's recent public speeches emphasizing the need for ending deficit spending and also on ex- pert estimates such as those of the Canadian Tax Foundation which figures present tax rates will produce a balanced budget or small surplus, assuming the gross national product repeats its six-per-cent rise of last year. | JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- The government of South Africa has taken a fateful step. To maintain its policy of strict racial segregation and white su- premacy it has declared a state of emergency, has called its citi- zen defence force for mobiliza- tion and made widespread ar- rests It thus has decided to ignore all offers or demands for contacts between the government and leaders of organized native Af- ricans. It literally has cut itself off completely from more than 2,000,000 urban Negroes, Until Wednesday there had been some slight hope that ex- ploratory steps might be taken to bring together leaders of the opposed camps. Some white liberals and Negro S. Africa Totters On Disaster Brink heads the African National Con- gress, The Liberals contended that Luthuli's views were moder- ate and that some path out of the increasingly tense racial situation could be explored with him, SAY LUTHULI SUBVERSIVE But government leaders re- acted coldly. They termed Lu- thuli subversive and accused him of seeking to set up a non-white government in South Africa. Luthuli was among those ar- rested Wednesday in a series of pre-dawn raids that brought the seizure of more than 200 Negroes, white liberals, Indians and per- sons of mixed blood known as g s. Luthuli said he had "been slapped by a prison official shortly after his arrest. The arrests were made under rants and for holding persons for 30 days. Among those who escaped ar- rest in the sweeping raids was Alan Paton, interna t ionally known white author, national president of the Liberal party and perhaps the most widely ac- claimed friend of the Negroes of South frica. Paton, 57, said not being arrested left him feeling "slightly disreputable." "All my friends have been arrested and here I am."
