Authorities moved quickly and no stone was left unturned in the search for F/0 Roderick McBride, his wife and two sons, Ricky 6, and Andy, 4, when it was reported to police on Friday' night that they had gone out on the lake in a 16-foot cabin cruiser and had not returned to this port. FIG Andrew Rutherford, RCAF Station Clinton, had a standing in- vitation to visit ,the McBride's in Bayfield. ' He came over Friday night, and when they weren't at home, their%oat had gone and he made some inquiries. He had been out in the boat and knew that the gas tank only had fuel for a certain distance, and so he became alarmed when they had not returned that night. G/C K. C. Cameron, Commanding Officer at Station Clinton teak command of the search. Two airplanes from Centralia, two from Trenton and an RCMP boat were detailed to search this district. Two U.S. planes and a U.S, coast- guard cutter also joined in the search. Early in the morning broadcasts started over radio and TV sta- tions re:, the missing craft. Dr. C. D. McBride, Edmonton, was notified by telephone that his son and family had gone out on Lake Huron in their small boat and were missing. One local resident who had not heard the broadcast, when told about it, remarked that there had been a small boat off the harbour the _previous evening with a man standing up on it. And that where- as she had thought it someone, doing a foolish stunt, perhaps it was someone trying to attract at- tention: Via the grapevine, or otherwise, it didn't take long to reach the ears of a member of the OPP, Goderich Detachment. He contacted the person to corrobor- ate the statement, then organized a search of the beaches from Goderich to Grand Beiid. At 11.50 Saturday morning, the McBride family stepped off their boat at the pier in. Sallee. They were greeted by members of the ROMP, who said, "We've been looking for you." It was a bit of a shock, as the Mci3rides immed- iately thought some relative of theirs must have died, but when told that' they had been the object Of a widespread search they were flabbergasted, In fact, they could hardly believe it, The first thing Roderick Mc- Bride did was telephone his father to relieve his anxiety, F/0 McBride has been posted from Clinton to PenholcV Alberta, the middle of July. His wife and two sons leave for the West the middle of June. They had Want- ed to see something of St, Clair River and Lake St, Clair, and since thd weather was perfect for boating on Priday night, they de- cided to seize the opportunity for this trip, They had an engage- ment for Sunday evening arid notified those friends of their de- cision to make the trip.

Their first stop was at Grand Bend where they went up the river and re- fuelled. They went on to Port .Franks but were unable to get up the Auxable so they moored at the landing, and slept on the boat. Next day they proceeded to Sar- nia. But when they realized all that had transpired since they left B'ayfield, it took the heart out of them, and they went no farth- er. The Sarnia yacht Club offered them hospitality. The McBrides decided to return to Bayfield, but when Mr. Mc- Bride checked with weather re- ports, they found warnings' out for small craft on the lake. So he hitch-hiked to Bayfield, and drove back with his boat trailer. A very hospitable member of the Sarnia Yacht Club had taken Mrs. Mc- Bride and the two boys home and insisted on them staying all night. Asked if they had seen anything of the searching aircraft, Mrs. Mc- Bride replied, "Yes, south of Bright's Grove one few overhead'; but it was looking for a wreck, not a boat in operation." She ex- pressed thanks and said they were most grateful to all for the con- cern and trouble taken over them. At the same time she wished to correct an impression that they had gone off without telling any- one. ,Her husband has been •boat- ing since a boy. They have had a boat for the six years since they came east, and have traversed many miles round Georgian Bay, on Lake Huron and inland lakes. Their present craft is fully equip- ped with all safety devices and life saving equipment. They had it checked at Sarnia, and were told they had more than •required in this line. Also, they do not take risks, nor do foolish stunts, as some amateurs are, apt to do'. F/O McBride has always been most careful to check weather re- ports and so they felt perfectly safe in making the trip. PORTER'S HILL Correspendetit MRS.

The barn will house about 3,200 laying hens, and they'll . live on a ,deep straw litter on about three inches of gravel.
