He warned of added artificial flavoring substances with potential carcinogenic risks and pressed for additive disclosure and clearer labeling on packaging.

Low water blocks traffic on Mississippi

Ice jams slow barges on Illinois River near Peoria
The Illinois River carries hundreds of barges and tugboats stuck in a long icebound tie up near Peoria. Lockmaster Les Rhodes warns colder weather will worsen the ice while traffic on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers pushes vessels onto the Illinois River, delaying passage to three days at the locks.

1980 Driest Year Since 1977 Across Nation Waters Run Low
The U S Geological Survey reports 1980 was the driest year in three years with major rivers averaging 3 percent below normal. Chesapeake Bay inflow fell about 17 percent, December flows were 60 percent below normal, and many East Coast stations showed below normal river flows. The Delaware River Basin faced large deficits, prompting the Delaware River Basin Commission to restrict flows. Ice on the Illinois River hindered canal traffic, costing Canal Barge Co. about $15,000 daily in lost revenue as crews cut barge loads to eight due to ice.
