The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1953-06-04, Page 12Page 12 THE TIMES-ADVOCATE, EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1953 Juniors Win —-Continued from Page 1 Walter Jarrot, Hensall banker, and Dick Etherington, secretary of the fair, looked after the re­ cords. Gerry Montgomery, agriculture representative, was master of ceremonies for the staging of the show and sale. The club was a 100 percent success. All 76 calves which were distributed, last fall were on show Friday. Two girls helped main­ tain the perfect record. Ann Bregman, of R.R. 1, Hensall, sub­ stituted for her brother, Hank, who couldn't show because he was ill. Marion Lamport, R.R. 1, Hensall, showed for her brother, Glen, who had to be away. She won one of the showmanship prizes, too. While the feeder calf club was the feature of Hensall spring show, there were other top at­ tractions. The Thursday night horse show attracted around 700 people. W. P. Watson, livestock commissioner for the province, said it was the best horse show he had ever seen. Attractions on Friday included the popular baby show (results on page 8), a school children’s parade led by Centralia RCAF band, and a good showing of purebred cattle. Disappointment to the children was the absence of a midway. Al­ though the rides were present, the owners failed to erect or operate them. There was a good display of farm machinery.

Every Sat. Night at the beautiful may 500 Stratford CasinoThe average speed of a tornado is 25 m.p.h., but they have been known to travel as slow as five miles and as fast as 130 m.p.h. Mr. Hunt cited some oddities about tornadoes. People in the area never hear the crashing of trees or buildings during the swirl because the screeching noise of the tornado drowns it out. People have .been known to be within 150 feet of a swirl and they didn’t notice any particular change. Mr. Hunt has some recom­ mendations about what to do if you see a tornado. He suggests that you lie flat in the deepest ditch or gutter you can find. If you’re in a house, go into the basement. If you see a tornado in the distance but it doesn’t appear to be moving although it’s getting larger, the tornado is coming directly towards you. If you see it moving, it will probably miss you. If you have time to get out of the path of a tornado, run north­ west, Mr. Hunt advises. The tor­ nado, because of the peculiar weather system in this area, will almost posite About Mr. information on tidal waves. He says they occur frequently on the Great Lakes but, because Huron is one of the higher bodies, they are generally too small to detect. The waters of the lakes are never still, always restlessly mov­ ing. When thunderstorms (caused by the meeting of cold and warm air masses) occur over the lake, they build up extreme pheric pressure changes waters which result in a wave or seiche. Strong winds sometimes seiches, when they pile the on the east side of the lake. These explanations, Mr. Hunt stressed, are common reasons for some of the weather we’ve getting. But, he reminds us, thing can happen with the ther. instruments break. They whirl at a speed as high as m.p.h. but this has never been definitely established because no instrument has been able to re­ cord them. The third destructive factor is the terrific lifting force, A tor­ nado is often compared to a giant vacuum cleaner. The length of the path of a tornado averages 25 miles, al­ though some have been recorded as high as 300 miles. whether a tornado will develop or not. He said the United States has set up a tornado warning system but has not found a successful method of predicting when or where a tornado will form. Ex­ periments are being made with radio to see if these storms can be detected. The Centralia weatherman notes that many people do not understand the difference be­ tween a cyclone and a tornado. A cyclone is any area where air is moving In a circle in a counter-clockwise direction. Some are 100 miles in diameter. A tornado is seldom more than 100 feet wide. Tornadoes, he said, rarely form singly and usually occur in the late afternoon. Usually they travel roughly from west to east. They live from one to four hours and have three destructive forces. One is the very low pres­ sure in the centre of the swirl­ ing. This is the force which causes buildings to burst out­ wards. The second force is the violent i winds. They have been measured up to 24'0 'in.p.h. before the wind Weather, the weatherman agrees, is an unpredictable ani­ mal. Wondering what in the world was going on to give us torna­ does, tidal waves, electrical storms and all the other para- phenalia that’s attacked this dis­ trict from the skies lately. The Times-Advocate contacted C. F. Hunt, who is in charge of the meteorological section at RCAF Station Centralia. Unfortunately, Mr. Hunt hasn't any super explanation to give for these phenomena. We thought maybe there might have been a hydrogen bomb blast in the Arctic, or a Russian propoganda wave, or an intense movement of ants in Siberia that caused all this crazy weather. But there’s no such reason, according to Mr. Hunt. Weather is just an un­ predictable animal. However, the did furnish some i formation. The fly in the causes much of exravaganza is the cold front of air front. Like Wrestlers When these two they clash like a couple of pro­ fessional wrestlers—and, just as in a headline bout betweeu two torso artists, almost any­ thing and sometimes everything ’happens. These masses are sometimes 1,000 miles wide. The cold ones usually come from the Arctic and the warm ones from the Gulf of Mexico. When masses meeting dary. It's along the boundary that tornadoes occur. The warm air along the ground rises violently to the cold air. and this usually ■causes thunderstorms — and in some cases, tornadoes.

In the tall timber country 170 miles iiorth of Victoria, the backwoods dwellers live in constant fear of fire. For that reason Great Cen­ tral's housewives formed Canada’s only women’s volunteer fire brigade, Known as “a day­ time home guard”, the group has the Job of protecting the village while their lumberjack husbands arc out on woods operations—-too far off to hear the siren’s wail when tragedy strikes.
