HURON RIVER HAS A HOLIDAY: Water two feet deep in some spots on the Island, municipal golf course and at other points along the Huron, was a common sight after the river's overflow caused by the week-end heavy rain. The inch and a half rain, the second heavy downfall in a week, converted the wooded areas along the river into river forests. The top picture shows the park building on the Island isolated by the flood, and below is a view from the Island across to the municipal golf course. A minute ridge of ground and the trees indicate where the shoreline of the golf course is located ordinarily. On the Island side, as the picture shows, the water came up to the supports of the Island shelter.
