It's Model Of Dam. Scott Vollberg, right, points out Lake Mead in the model of the Hoover Dam he and Mike Wiedenbeck, left, built. The lake serves as the holding area for the dam which has a fully-circulating water system. It produces no electricity but its electrical power is supplied by a transformer. The dam was constructed by the two Forsythe Junior High School eighth graders for a social studies project.

Mike Condon and Craig Evans, employees of the Number 1 Restorations Co., fill the holes and cracks in the surface of the Barton Dam hydroelectric power station Wednesday. The power station is in need of some major repair work on the outer surface due to years of wind and water damage. Concrete in the 77-year-old structure has flaked away in spots, exposing iron reinforcement rods in the walls.

Sitting in the sun along the edge of the Huron River at the Argo dam is Mrs. Henry Lou Owens of 1253 N. Main St., who is cleaning "a mess of greens," she has just gathered nearby. The greens are not, in this case, dandelions, but a variety of watercress which make fine eating, according to Mrs. Owens. She advises boiling them with a dab of salt pork or bacon.

TEN BELOW IN HELL: Whirling like trapped dervishes, three perfect three-foot circles of ice spin eternally at the base of the frozen dam in Hell. The saucers were formed and are held by turbulence from waters of Hi-Land Lake that spill past the ice-crusted-dam. Temperatures reached 10 degrees below zero yesterday in this tiny community six miles southwest of Pinckney.
