They were headed for Grand Bend. The dead men were Ray J. Sparks, 38, a Chatham contrac- tor and pilot of the plane, and three brothers, nephews of the pilot, 24-year-old Gerry, 21- year-old Dennis, and 19-year-old Robert Sparks, all of Chatham, The -pilot of the plane set the craft down on the field and asked 18-year-old Roy Crich, who lives across the road from the Tyndall farm, where they were and explained they were heading for Grand. Bend. The pilot added that the compass was a bit out and is reported to have said the engine was heating up badly. One of the men said they would need about 250 yards to take off, according to the youth, and another thanked him and said, "You can watch our take- off." Crich said the plane took off to the east, banked to the west, and then appeared not to gain altitude. It hit a hydro pole and fell to the ground in a ball of flame. The plane crashed near the edge of the Base Line Road, between Clinton and Auburn. The youth's mother, Mrs. Wil- bert Crich, called the Clinton fire department and the On- tario Provincial P olice in Wingham. Rural hydro crews had to cut the live wires from two poles — the one clipped off by the plane and another which was burned. The ground he green the broken pole and the plane was baked by the heat, witnesses said. The pilot rented the plane, a Piper Tri-Pacer, Sunday morn- ing from Seneca Air Service, Wallaceburg, and had planned to fly to Sarnia. According to Sgt. H. Barker, Goderich. OPP, an acetylene torch was required to free the bodies from the wreckage. all of which Nere badly burned. The torch was obtained from a Gar Myers, sup't of the Fin- ery park, announced this week that one of his "biggest head- aches" would be banished for next year with the calling of tenders for the paving of sev- eral main roads in the camp- ing spot.

The final section to be paved would be a stretch of over two miles from the administration office to pic- nic area number nine. The park sup't stated he did not know exact13 when tenders would close, but it is expected to be very shortly as the work. is to lie started early in Sep- tember and a completion dead- line has been set for the end of that month, Myers reported that the roads would be paved in a new meth- od known a s soil cement, He explained that large ma• chines resembling rota-tillers would chop up the existing san- dy roads to a depth of close to nine inches and then dry ce- ment would be worked in with the loose soil Water would then be added and after another working over, the roads would be roiled. After they had dried ton neat' solid. condition a permanent coating of tar would be put on. "This.s will he a great boon to us," Myers stated, reporting that the roads were a content headache to tile park staff. lie pointed out .they had not been "designed for the heavy traffic they have had to carry and it is necessary to have them graded every week as the heavy traffic plays extreme hav- oeTlivieth Albert Fahner area farmer Albert P.
