The new date for the annual childrens snow vehicle party is Saturday, February 5 starting at 1:00 p.m. One of the main reasons for this change was the extreme cold and the operators of the machines were busy doing ,rerra nclspf, mercy.

In Ailsa Craig something unexpected! Battling the stormy weather on their way home from Sarnia to Kitchener last Friday during the storm,Don, Glen, and Joe Gully stopped in at ,McNair's Restaurant in Ailsa Craig for a bite to eat. Weather conditions worsened and made their im- mediate departure impossible as a result their visit gave rise to an impromptu "Ailsa Craig happening". Employed in construction work, all three were talented musicans. To fill in the long hours away from home while on the job, the three carry their instruments with them wherever they go. When this was realized by Doug and Eileen McNair, who were offering the Gully's along with other stranded motorists hospitality, phones immediately Constable G. J. Barker of the Lucan OPP detachment said most of the 46 accidents occurred Friday. He said the first was reported at 11 a.m. and by 7.32 p,m. the total had risen to 24. Four Friday accidents were reported Saturday and three more came to light Sunday. Constable Barker said a total of 68 cars were towed out of snowbanks along area highways. He added, "If your car is still missing take a look at Van Bommell's in Ilderton, Clan- deboye Auto Wreckers or Don Smith's or Tom England's in Lucan," started ringing! The town hall was rented and the stormed in village and its guests were invited to come out and here the Gully Brothers in an impromptu musical evening. About forty quickly accepted the invitation and the evening proved not only successful, but a village highlight. A collection was taken to help defray expenses and net profit of $25 has been turned over to the community centre finance committee, • The three brothers, who by the way, come from a family of thirteen, followed a snow plow out Saturday morning. For two of them it was their first time ever to visit Ailsa Craig, but many new friendships were made at this point. The McNairs also hosted a salesman from Woodstock who has stopped in town, and other families had called to offer hospitality to anyothers known to be stranded.
