In issuing its warning, the weather service said nearly an inch of rain had fallen in the Bountiful area, which threatened to trigger more flash flooding in creeks running though the town 10 miles north of Salt Lake City. County Sheriffs Deputy Marsha Padilla said Bountiful officials ended an evacuation notice for 1,000 residents at 1 p.m. She said officials had called for volunteers to help shore up creeks in town with sandbags just before the flood warning was issued. The rain shower lasted about an hour, and work crews and residents returned to flood control efforts when the warning expired. City Councilman Bob Linnell said there had been no serious problems, but some water had entered a department store. County officials also said water topped sandbag levees in some spots, but no additional damage was reported. Authorities shut down two northbound lanes of Interstate 15 between Farmington and Centerville for about 200 yards after water from a lake formed by runoff spilled onto the highway. One northbound lane remained open. Creek levels had been dropping slightly in some areas because of less snowmelt in the Wasatch Mountains. But officials stressed the danger from slides off the snow- - and hills was far from over. rain-saturat- 8:45 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. DYROM CANNON M-- F S113 en This course provides a survey of the basic social and cultural institutions Arabian and Middle of Islamic Civilization, beginning with Eastern traditions generally, and terminating at the height of Islamic Civilization around 100 A.D.
