However, ex- perience indicates that most of these customers place their calls to a preferred group of numbers called on a repeat basis and will find recording them in the "Blue Book" a more convenient refer•, ence; these books are available free of charge at any business office of the Bell Telephone Com- pany. If, however, some custo- mers feel they have need for a .London directory, one can be obtained for a nominal charge.

"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.

"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 of publicity.
