cannister in the woodlot
awakened farmers in the area,
including Mr. anct Mrs. Melvin
Traquair, who live on the oppo-
site side of the road. "it was
enough to scare you," said Mr.
Traquair. "It sounded like a hur-
ricane starting up -- like tree
limbs • cracking or, fireworks,"
Sight of the giant balloon flop-
ping over the edge of the tall
bushlot presented an eerie scene
in the early -morning to Mr. and
Mrs. Gerrit Branderhorst, who
rent the farm from Mr. Tuckey.
They notified Ontario, Provin-
cial Police who in turn contacted
Clinton and Centralia RCAF of-
ficials.
The cannister wedged itself
in a fork near the top of a large
elm, one of the biggest and tal-
lest trees in the forest. Farmers
helped airmen and OPP. con-
stables collapse the balloon and
parachute and bring them down
from the trees. The cannister,
whose weight was not realized at
that time, shifted its position
at least once in the tree but be-
came securely wedged.
Tags on`the equipment gave
instructions to call Minneapolis
and officials there asked that
it be left in -the tree until they
arrived. Three men drove from.
Minneapolis in a truck and two
flew to Detroit from where they
drove to the site.

opening of the doors of the Le-
gion Hall at 9:30 Saturday morn-

Selling was brisk and when an-
other truck arrived with more
merchandise the workers scarce
had a chance to unload the ar-
ticles before buyers were reach-
ing for them.
"Children's and ladies' clothing
were the best sellers although a,
table of: kitchen utensils and ac-
cessories was the first to be sol6i'
out" said the president of the
W.A. Mrs. J. E. Walker.
Mrs. E. C. Likeness and Mrs.
E. K. Falls convened the sale
%which netted the Auxiliary $210.
Mfrs. D. Harvey was in charge
