Resident Engineer Glen Davis says progress is satisfactory but freezing weather may halt dirt movement and require dam settling periods. Portable floodlights illuminate areas around the clock during favorable weather. In Newton, Judith Hill and Ray Miller wed at United Presbyterian Church with a 250-guest ceremony and reception.
