Long-awaited showers and some heavy rains during the past week splashed Newton along with the rest of the South east, raising the level of creeks, rivers and lakes, and relieved the threat of crop disaster, but were insufficient to relieve the acute power shortage. While the recent rains have been general all over the State they were not sufficient to allev iate the power shortage and the cotton mills and other large in dustrial forced , . to con users were tinue on a week-end working schedule, while the City remained under a partial blackout to con serve current At the same time. George W Mindling. United States meteor ologist, revealed that rainfall for June has been far above normal, yet a deficiency exists for the period from January 1 to the present, Forecasting partly cloudy we ather with temperature ex tremes of 68 and 88 degrees, Mindling said total rainfall for June was 6.36. The June normal rainfall totals 3.74, he added. “But despite the excess in June,’’ said Mindlmg, “from Jan uary 1 to now there has been a rainfall of 16.50 inches, leaving a deficiency of 8.50 inches, at the normal for the period is 25 inches Power company officials dis closed that the rains have been too scattered to do "much good.’’ Two inches of rain fell Sunday at Lake Burton, a half inch fell on Monday, and, due to closing of the lake Burton plant to keep wa ter in the reservoir, the power gained 400,000 kilowatt # company hours.
