" In " or “ O u t". “ U p" or “ Down" There just is no in between Most o f the time, though, things ’’soft" or "h ard “ . ” fat" or "th in " .

Yes. folks, it is true The water hchind die W illow Creek Dam is dissovF ing the concrete in the dam But wait a minute All water dissolves con crete It also dissolves iron and lead and even gold And it does it very. very slowly W hat's more important is that the Corps of Army Engineers has built and does operate more dams around the world than anybody And they have never had one collapse Col Cowen does not strike us as the kind of fellow that would let that 200 year record break at Hcppner, Oregon We asked him straight out. “ What arc the chances of someone being hurt, or someone's property being damaged by a collapse of die Willow Creek Dam'v ' His answer was just as straight out. "Not one in a billion " As I see it. we're more likely to get hit on the head by a falling com munication satellite The Willow Creek Dam is safer than watching TV.
