Sailboats Safe In Bayfield Harbour (Bayfield Correspondent) For the owners of two sail- ing sloops from the Sarnia Yacht Club, Bayfield is just more .than a mark on the map. The "Typhoon" with a crew of four ('two young women) and the "All Jo" skippered by Ti Corey and two friends, set out Saturday morning for sail up to the Owen Sound area over the weekend. They were caught in the heavy squall about 1.30 pan. and received considerable bat- tering from the fierce winds and waves. The boats were both 25 feet long, and built in Denmark. The wind ripped the sail of the "All Jo" so that it just hung by the rope. The "Typhoon" went as far Meth as Black's Point and then turned back to keep the crip- pled "All Jo" company. They felt that the seas were too heavy to go out far enough to make Goderich. They were keeping out from the harbour, as they'd been told riot to put into Bayfield as there was only a foot of water. But they saw the fishing tugs and were re- connoitering to find the chan- nel, not certain of the port, Don and Glen Coutts of Sea - forth, sensed that they were in trouble. They borrowed Jim McLeod's sailboat and went out to guide them itt and they tied up at the Boat Club dock at 8.30 p.m. While getting refreshments at Casnie Drive -ht, the wonnen were so visibly shaken by the long Strain that Mrs. Scotch - bier invited them to rest at her home. But they all slept aboard their boats. Before they could leave, '1'1 Corey had to have . ,his sail sewed up slid this fell to the lot of Mrs. Grant turner. They were entertained tamed with other young folk at the cot- tage of Mr. end Mrs, Thomas W. Orr, Stratford, sough of the village on ,Sutday evening, And to they set sail' for Sere ria on Monday morning feeling that although their trip could have :elided in tragedy So ease they had gained »any warns frith& in this haven, sheltered beta the buffeting. winds. 14th cmcers bourse Graduates Set New Record For High Standing Clear sktes with a cooling breeze smiled upon the gradu- ation ceremonies carried out on the parade square at RCAF Sta--. tion Clinton, when 22 telecom- munications officers were grad- uated.

A steady alarm means there is a fire at the county home, and the fire brigade wast- ed no time getting out Highway 4 to the scene. However, there was no fire at the county home and the fire engine and "fire fans" re- turned to their homes and to Clinton. The alarm was still ringing 20 minutes later, and main street was jammed with traffic and people. The alarm continued until wires were disconnected at the town hall. Fire Chief Grant Rath reports that the difficulty was in .the direct line from the county home to the alarm. When the wires were disconnected it cut off only that line from the fire alarm system, It did not affect the protection given the town throughout the night. Jabez Rands, superintendent of the Clinton Public Utilities Commission investigated the problem yesterday morning and found the signal wire from the Home was touching another 110 volt wire.
