WHIRLWIND TORNADO BRINGS HEAVY DAMAGE TO BARRIE AREA — Scores of
buildings were levelled, telephone and hydro lines torn down, when a freak tornado hit the
forestry and farming area near Barrie, Ont. The whirlwind twister, which lasted only a
few seconds, left a path of destruction and damage, estimated at $200,000. Frantic resi
dents sought refuge from the wind in cellars and cars, as trees, three and four feet in
diameter crashed into houses on all sides. Picture shows one of the many barns that was
flattened by the tornado. ' —Central Press CanadianSunday Afternoon
VALIANT SOUL
I have just been reading about
a man whose life inspires me
and I am sure it will do you
all good. His name was Howard
Vincent O’Brien and for many
years he wrote a daily column
in the Chicago Daily News, en
titled: “All Things Considered.”
He was an unusual little man
in that he seemed interested in
everything and his interest was
always human and kindly. Noth
ing seemed too trivial for him
to notice and he had a wonder
ful knack of seeing the comic
side of things. He had a great
following. After his death in
IS47 the editors collected many
of his essays together and they
were published (by Bobbs-Merrill
Co.) with the title: “All Things
Considered.”
The thing which interests me
chiefly about O’Brien is that, al
though he had a slow develop
ing cancer for eight years—and
knew it—there was never in
any of his daily articles, even a
mention of it.
Most of the time he was buck
ing people up, giving them hope
and encouragement. Nearly every
Slay there was something funny
in his column and those who
read it could almost hear his1
good-natured chuckle. Then there
would be a flash of spiritual in
sight which showed how ' far-
seeing and deep-seeing this man
was.
Some of the things he wrote
about seemed very small in
themselves.He would tell about
trying to fix something around
the house, or how he put on the
screen doors, or tinkered with a
clock that wouldn’t work, or
tried to mend a leaky faucet.
Then he and his family took a
trip down into Southern Califor
nia and he gave a detailed ac
count of everything that happen-,
ed; what the men said at the
gas station and his impressions
of all the people he met on the
journey. His experiences were
not so different from those of
other people but he had, as I
said, a keen sense of humour
and he saw something to laugh
about everywhere.
His son went to the World War
in January 1942. Here in his
own words is the story of his
thoughts after the boy had gone:
“I sat down and thought how
time had flown. Why, it was
only yesterday when I had held
him in my arms! That, somehow,
made me remember all the scold
ings I had given him, the
preachments, the exhortation to
a virtue and wisdom I did not
myself possess ...
“I thought, too of that last in
articulate “good luck,” that last
perfunctory handclasp; and I
wished that I had somehow been
able to tell him how much I
really loved him. Had he per
haps penetrated my brusque re
serve? Had he perhaps guessed
what was in my heart?
“And then I thought, what
fools we are with our children
—always plotting what we shall
make of them, always planning
for a future that never comes,
always intent on what they may
be, never accepting what they
are!
“Well, curlyhead, you’re a
man now, bearing your bright
shield and spear. I hated to see
you go out of my house and
close the door behind you, ‘but
I think I would not have halted
you if I could. I salute you, Sir.
I cannot pretend that I am not
sad; but, I am proud, too. So
long.”
His son was killed overseas
and that was a sorrow' which,
likemany others, he did not dis
cuss.
Failing eyesight cast its sha
dow over him. He was fighting
a hopeless battle against cancer,
and he knew it.
The last lines he wrote be
fore his death were full of hope
and gratitude. He thought of his
happy boyhood, so free from ail
ment and so filled with fun. He
was grateful for that. Then
while he had notwealthy, he had
never gone hungry or cold; that
was somthing else to be grate
ful for. Then he remembered the
devotion of his mother, and
wife; his son and daughter and
how they had made him happy.
When the curtain fell on Sept
ember 30th, 19 47, it found him
undismayed. Almost the last
lines he wrote were these: “As
I look at the red ink with which
the pages of the last few years
are literally adorned, I have a ten
dency to dissolve in tears of self-
pity. Then I look at the many
black pages which went before,
and I feel I should rise and say:
"‘Lord, I am still deeply in Thy
debt.”
Our quotation to-day is by
George H. Morrison: “Courage
not th^ absence of fear but the
conqust of it.”

Hensall Council
Refuses Requests
Two requests, one for a re
freshment stand and another for
parking space on Wellington
Street, were refused by Hensall
council at their meeting Tuesday
night.
Mrs. 'McReary asked permis
sion to sell hot dogs and refresh
ments from a trailer and stated
she wished to operate on Well
ington 'Street.
R. Cook wished to place gravel
on the street in front of his
garage to park cars on.
Council, after considerable dis
cussion, refused the request be
cause the streets were public’
■property.
C. W. Leonhardt, constable
and general handyman, asked
about taking his holidays and
was instructed to take them
when it would cause the least
inconvenience to the public.
Clerk James A. Paterson re
ported on the Ausable River
Conservation Authority meeting,
stating there would be another
meeting in September and asked
for a full attendance of council.
Mr. Paterson also presented

Holstein Club Warned
Against Beef Selling
Holstein breeders in Huron
county were told to hang onto
their cows because beef prices
have probably reached their
peak.
Douglas H. Hart, director of
the Oxford Holstein Club, told
members of the Huron County
Club, that “It would be unsound
to go from milk into beef.”
“Beef is at its peak now, or at
least we think it is at its peak
and in all probability prices will
drop,” he said.
Dairy prices are not in
flated and chances are prices
will be maintained if not im
proved,” he continued.
The twilight meeting was held
on the Braejarr Farms, owned by
Mrs. James T. and Gilbert Jar-
rott. One of the highlights of
the evening was the inspection
of a' 1 y2 year-old bull, Glenafton
Excelsior, which was bought for
$5,000 when 12 hours old by the
Jarrott brothers.
One Killed
—Continued from Page 1
landing after most of its control
surfaces had been torn away. Its
rudder and elevator were ripped
into wreckage by another planes
propeller. A member of the RAF
during World War II, Price now
lives in Exeter. »
“I felt my wing-tip” touched
and I lost control for a' minute,”
said F/O Rivoire. “When I re
gained control, I left the forma
tion and hurried back to the sta
tion airfield where I landed saf
ely.”
Donaldson related ' a simliar
story. “1 was flying along when
I felt a bump,” he said. “I peel-
el out of position and returned
to the station.” He could not ex
plain the accident.
A post-mortem on the body of
Pollin is being conducted today
at Victoria hospital, London, to
obtain information for the RCAF
Institute of Aviation Medicine.
Pollin was a war veteran -who
returned to the air force in Feb
ruary. He graduated from the in
structors’ school at Trenton and
came here, in May.
Plunged Into Ground
Seconds after the crash, said
Ken Kroft, “one of them plung
ed almost straight into the
ground. I was plowing when my
attention was turned to the
flight of planes travelling back
and forth overhead at about 1,-
500 feet.”
The planes, he said, had been
practising formation flying with
in sight, for about 10 minutes
and had just pulled out of a
turn to the south when the acci
dent happened.
“The planes seemed to be only
a few feet apart,” he said, “Sud
denly the wings of two of them
touched. Then a wingtip of one
touched the tail of the other
planes seemed to go in all dir
ections after that.I “It gave me a sick feeling to
i see them go down. The one tol- llow didn't have a chance."
i Rollin’s plane scattered into
hundreds? of pieces 100 rods
from Mrs. filer’s farmhouse. Her json, Tom was at the scene with-
I in three minutes. He found Po’l-
j Jin’s body beside the wreckage.
i The fatality was the second at
| this station in the past year.
ftil yesterday the accident rate
|per 1,000' flying hours was the
lowest of any period this year.

I. K. Weber of the R.C.A.F.
had crossed Canada several times
by train and while training
spent some time in England,
Scotland, France, Holland, Bel
gium and at the close of World
War II was within a few miles
of Berlin, Germany. He with his
wife and her uncle finished an
extended trip by auto to Man-
toba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and
British Columbia and
states of the U.S.
He saw the beautiful
and mountains as well
barren lands of the West, the
naturally productive and fertile
soils which yield three crops a
year by the addition of the ne
cessary water. One 40 acres pro
duces enough pasture and silage
to feed 40 big Holstein cows the
year round.
