GORRIE
Gorrie and Fordwich Bridges Down
The first spring rain storm on Fri-
,day last brought About a break up of
the ice on the Maitland rlyer with dis-
astrous results in the Township of
Howick, Towards evening on Friday,,
the darn and bridge in Fordwich were
swept away. The river which had been
considerably over its banks in Gorrie,
rose rapidly until about 3 a.m. Satur-
day, the bridge was carried almost a
block .down stream the frame work of
the darn having previously gone. Many
residents spent the night and early
hours of the morning watching the
wild torrent of water and huge blocks

of ice in the worst flood of the Mait-
land in years. Mrs. Willmot Charles
was taken from a second story window
of her home near the river when it was
feared to be in danger.
The water had fallen somewhat on
Saturday morning but -huge cakes of
ice are strewn along the banks of the
river and in fields. The Hydro power
is off on the streets and some homes,
Monday and many telephone lines are
out. Mail was brought in Saturday by
way of the Zimmerman bridge and side
road to the 6th con. then into town,
The sideroad is now said to be im-
passable. The river which cuts through
the centre of both towns with no
means of crossing, makes conditions
for residents very inconvenient to say
the least. Another bridge near the
home of Mr. Robert Sanderr4ron also
went out taking part of the river bank.
Other bridges are considered unsafe,
The Gorrie bridge was built in 1900.
Records tell that in 1893 also the
bridge over the river in Gorrie was
swept away by spring floods.
Miss Erland Gregg was in Clinton
on Monday and Tuesday of last week
attending the Training School for
Leaders of Junior Homemaking Clubs
for the project "Summer Clothes for

garage Hugh Switzer was removing a
gaS tank from a ear when a flash fire
filled the pit whir flames. The Wing-
ham Fire Department was called but
the call was cancelled on after as the
fire was quenched with fire-bomb ex-
tinguishers before any serious dmnag
occurred,
Appeal for Children
More than 230,000,000 children in
Europe and the Far East arc close to
the starvation level, Canada is seek-
ing to raise a nation-wide total of110,-
000,000 with which to help the child-
ren of the world's war ravaged coun-
tries, Each family is asked to don-
ate a day's wage, A house-to-house
canvass of the village is being made.
Mr. Knowlson Hueston spent sev-
eral days of last week in Toronto.
N.F.B. Pictures Shown
The hall was well filled on Tuesday
evening when the National Film Board
pictures were shown by Mr, Roy of
Clinton. Mr. Zurbrigg, President of
the Howick Federation of Agriculture
was chairman, Mrs,- Alex. Taylor,
President of the local Red Cross, very
ably introduced the Red Cross film,
"Great in tle,Peace". After the show-
ing Mr. Hartwell Strong also spoke
on the work of the Red Cross, Assist.
Agric. Rep., Mr. Jerry Nelson of Clin-
ton told of the work of the Junior Far-
mers of Huron County and expressed
the hope that a Junior Farmer's Short
Course would be held in Howick next
year. He congratulated Howick on
having formed a Calf Club. At the
close, the Women's Institute was in
charge of a social time when refresh-
ments were served and old time danc-
ing enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs, P. Ashton
supplied music with David Neilson,
calling off.
Printer's- errors will occur. In our
column the figure five appearing twice
instead of once, certainly changed
things. The fifty-ninth wedding anni-
versary of Mr. and Mrs. John Hynd-
man, in, last week's issue, was made to
read five hundred and fifty-ninth,
which of course is ridiculous and
everyone must know it was an error
A few weeks ago a hockey score also
had an extra five and read fifty-five
instead of five.
Mr. Knowlson Hueston, spent sev-
eral days of last week in Toronto.
United Church W. A.
'The W. A. held their March meet-
ing in the basement of the church,
with the president, Mrs. H. Sperling,
in the chair. The meeting opened
with singing, "Alas, and did My Sav-
iour Bleed;" followed by repeating the
Lord's Prayer. Mrs. H. Ashton read
the Scripture, reading a theme for
Easter, from Matt, chapter 27, Mrs.
Kaine gave a reading. "A symbol of
the Cross." A motion was made by
Mrs, E. Whitfield and seconded by
Mrs. F. Hyndman that the W. A. be
divided into groups to find ways to
raise money to help the church fin-
ances, Mrs. E. Wellington, Mrs. E.
Whitfield and Mrs, F. Hyndman to
head the groups. A quilt was quilted
during the afternoon and Mrs. E.
Whitfield started on the first few
chapters of the new book, "Zonya." It
was gratifying to have such a good
attendance, 24 members present and
new members joining. Mrs. H. Ham-
ilton Mrs. P. Harding, Mrs, J. Gamble
The minutes were read and adopted,
The meeting closed with the Mizpah
Benediction. Lunch was served by
