IP-Good, wak ing rains came lo northwest Mis souri's drought belt yesterday but farmers said it wasn't enough and Page 4 Section 2 Mayor Raymond K. Wheeler of Bethany said "it didn't do a thing for us here in town." Bethany has been pinched for water for months. Yesterday's rain almost two inches h?re by some measure ments but only 1.09 on the Weath er Bureau gauge didn't lift the level of the town's reservoir ap preciably. Mayor Wheeler said it held no more than enough for three days. The town's 3,000 residents pinned their hopes on East Big Creek after hearing three inches of rain had fallen 12 miles up tlream at Hidgeway. But hours later, the creek still was only a trickle. Most of the rain had soaked into the ground. Pools and the dry sand bottom had absorbed the scant runoff. Wheeler said Bethany probably would recover enougli from East Big and West Big Creeks to get along another 10 days. Bethany has had only six inches of rain in eight months, and has been under severe water restric tions. When Mrs. W. P. Young and children came to town to visit her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Crouch her father bought 1.000 gallons of water and had it delivered to the reservoir to compensate for the extra consumption. Crouch is edi tor of the Republican Ifl Clipper, Bethany's weekly newspaper. Mayor Wheeler said the town couldn't afford the expense of hauling water. He said emergen cy plans were being drawn up if the supply fails completely. He still had hopes the Army or some ; other government agency will step in and build an emergency pipeline to Grand River. Farmers said the rain was won derful for current crops. As the rains came yesterday, Robert Hall, from the Department of Agriculture in ' Washington, wound up a survey of the 11 coun ties to determine if they should be declared a drought disaster area. The department recently reject ed a plea by Missouri's governor for such a designation but now is having another look. It would make farmers eligible for emerg ency feed and easier credit. And It probably would bring the Army in to set up an emergency water upply. The forecast for today: Chance of widely scattered thundcrshow-ers.
