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. He veered
to the left to avoid striking the
men and went onto the soft shoul
der of the road.
