"Hid the reservoir release been cut off completely, "(.'«I. Burns stated, ' ‘the |M.il would have risen higher and water would have gone over the spillway This condition win avoided by releasing a normal discharge which, as far as in known, was within banks and non- damaging along the Row river be low Ixircna Dam." During the major flood season, which lasts from the middle of No- wmber to the end of January, Ixith Cottage Grove and .Dorena reservoirs arc maintained at mini mum | mx >| except when they are being regulated for flood control. Of the total storage of 33,000 acrc-f<«t at Cottage Grove reser-! Voir, 3,(XX) acre-feet is considered । minimum pool, leaving 30,(XX) feet In which to store flood waters. At Dorena reservoir the capacity lx1 77,5(X) acre-feet, with 7,(XX) ax | minimum poo). Thus there re- I mains 70,500 acre-feet for flood . waters. "Following a flood," Col. Bums continued "the stored fkxxlwatcrs are evacuated as rapidly ax down stream conditions permit consis tent with the basic requirement that flows lx* maintained within । banks. Purpose of this evacuation is to prepare the reservoir for pos sible additional fhxxls because as is well known a series of storms <M-casionally passes over the Wil lamette Valley at relatively close intervals.” Both historical and recent fkxxls have been studied to develop the most effei-tive regulation procedur es. Col. Burns' letter said Studies arc lx*ing continued, and modifi cations may be made from time to time in the existing .schedules to refine reservoir regulation tech- niques.

Nordstrom al- i vised Cottage Grove motorists ! yesterday. Every body is busier just before I Christmas, and as a rule, the roads are more dangerous. Chief 1. Nordstrom pointed out. "Sleet, ice, snow, rain, all pre sent extra hazards when driving, and we should take extra precau tions to avoid costly accidents and injuries,” he said. i Two out of three winter acci dents occur on snow or ice, ac cording to studies in typical snow belt states, the National Safety , Council has discovered. The win ter accident death rate is 24 to 53 ! per cent above the summer figure ' in snowbelt states. What to do about it? ''Drive according to conditions and have winter safety equipment ready,” Chief Nordstrom said. ! "Tire chains are needed at times 1 to counteract severe snow and ice 1 conditions. your anti-skid chains when needed, and avoid an ■ accidental missing link in your ' family circle at Christmas. "And to insure good visibility, ¡be sure your windshield wiper : blades, defroster, and headlights ' arc in good condition." Careless or negligent driving is j not only hazardous. Chief Nord- ’ strom observed. It’s also against i the law. He said that every acci dent will be thoroughly investi- . gated to determine the cause, and ! that drivers guilty of law viola tions will be prosecuted.
