District in Darkness When Truck Hits Pole Exeter had a black-out Friday evening of last week when the hyd­ ro went off shortly before ten o’clock and there was a great scramble for candles, oil lamps, etc., as >the homes were plungeci into darkness, A hydro .pole was broken off north of Elginfield and not only was Exeter in darkness, but Lucan, Centralia, Crediton, Grand Bend, Dashwood, Hen&all and Zurich and the farms in the area were without light op power until midnight. A dance was being held in the Exeter Arena and a gas lamp pro­ vided the illumination for the or­ chestra and sent its glimmer over the spacious hall. At the R.C.A.F, station at Centralia ,a play was being put an by Goderich players. A con­ cert was also in progress in Hen- sall. The local theatre had to close down after completing one showing of the evening’s performance. The accident happened when an R.C.A.F. truck from Centralia went of.f the road, grazed a tree and broke off a hydro pole. The truck was driven by /Flight-Sergeant Jas. ,P, Niven who was accompanied by Cpl. Stanley Clay. Niven is reported to have been blinded by the bright lights of an approaching car during a flurry of snow. When the car passed he was almost upon a truck being pushed by two men.
