Destructive Sleet Storm Paralyzes Goderich
Astrologer's Predictions Fulfilled
S The Signal goes to press Western Ontario is emerging'from the grip of'one of the worst sleet storms
in the history of the country.- Industry -:has been -paralyzffd--b � the failure of hydro
• :'— t Y y power, many of the
important transmisstoon lines in Western Ontario being out of commission, while enormous damage has been --
- done to the telegraph and telephone systems by the . heavy ice coating which formed on the wires
as the rain fell.
The storm commenced on Tuesday night and continued almost incessantly for twenty-four hours. On
Wednesday morning-Goderich citizens learned of \the serious nature of the storm by the failure of hydro
power and by the severance of both telephone and telegraphic means of communication. y
Like all other ,industries which are users of hydro the Goderich newspapers suffered no -small in-
convenience, for dependinga s tiey are on electricity -cooperate their typesetting machines they -had -,to -face
the awkward situation of setting a large portion of the type for this week's issue by the old-fashioned method of hand co osition. The
Signal was particularly unfortunate --in _that its type -setting -machine required the services of a `doctor from Toronto on Mo ay and thus
the machine was available for less than twelve hours' work this week.
Both newspapers are jointly indebted to Mr. Robert Wilson, the local Massey -Harris agent, for the loan of a gasoline engine tc

BEAUTIFY EAST STREET FIRST
To the Editor of The signal
Dear Sir, — I awl with leen iutelest

the joint meeting of the Ilortt,eultural
Society and parks committee of

Goderich is unusually furtunate in
and situation and the citizens should
fainly use every opportunity to flirt
impmile its appearance.
The suggestion to change a etnt4 block
by block so as not to incur tea' tench ex-
pense is good, but why shitil,l that street
be Elgin avenue" To my mind there are
aereral strestetn town that nn! more sit/t-
able in every wnv for this enterprioe. Per.
haps one of the most important of thew'
is East street.
There ere several reasons for this argu-
ment. The traveller, morning filen the
Grant Trunk station, necessarily pasties
down East stilet first. It is there that he sr• UC

learn that you are willing to co-op-
erate with us and to endeavor to se -I
cure also the sympathy and active
