The devastating tornado struck suddenly, causing millions of dollars' damage in minutes — a fearful example of the power of nature. Most fire insurance policies provide protection 'against windstorm damage for a nominal additional premium. Wind damage in Canada is not uncommon and Fire and Casualty insurance companies pay many windstorm claims each year. Tornadoes such as. at Sarnia are fortunately rare. Claims paid resulting front the Sarnia tornado totalled approximately $3,000,000 ---- an example of how the small contribution by the many who want protection provides full indemnity and compensation for those who do suffer foss.

Is It Worth the Itiehr It has been said many, many times that farming is A dangerous busineee And that more farmers meet an un- timely end Ulan any Other Prefession. Hut, there is another risk to farming that a lot of People fail to compre- hend, That is the risk of injury to others, to the general public, when Yea ean be held liable for damages sustained. There are eo many ways that you Can be held responsible for damages. Let me name a few, if X May, In the first place, you pallid be in- volved in an accident with your trac- tor or farm wagon, while travelling from one farm to another, You might have been very careful, and though you were in the right, still you may have been negligent in some Way, causing bodily injury or property damage. It's easy to be found respon- sible, but not so easy to pay the costs. Perhaps you or your neighbor have already found out that it doegret pay to allow cattle or horses On the road, Maybe you have already been Palled upon to dispose of one of your best cows and at the same time be held responsible for damage to a ear or truck. In some eases, severe injur- ies have been the result of such acci- dents. Similar accidents can also be caused by pigs and sheep and even by the farm dog, which might have decided to take a moonlight stroll across the highway, Have you one of those "good watch- dogs" that never let strangers on the place unless you or your wife are around to. call him off? If you have, then you are in the front seat, the first man in the queue for trouble. If Rattler suddenly takes a taste of someone's heels, brother, you are in for a .peck of trouble. If your dog chases bicycles and some child is thrown from his cycle as a result of such play, again, you can be held re- sonsible, Your chicken could fly up in the windshield of a passing car and cause a serious accident, Recently three Perth County men were seriously in- jured when a horse crashed into their cat, pinning them in the vehicle.

Marlene McQtlarrie o-,o-o 4-WOUND SCHOOL If any proprietors of local enter- tainments are Wondering what has gone wrong with their business we'll shed a little light. For the pant few weeks the little angele of Wingitarn District High School have been study- ing and writing exame. Long faces, dark Mice around eyes, and general blue moods are all attributed to the Christmas .exams. Of course, it's all over now, and all the tortures and tribulations are fading memories, Now the students are catching up on their lost sleep and wishing they had lost a little more (by the look of some of those marks.) However, it won't hap- pen again, at least not until Easter, and in the meantime there are eo many other things to do. In the first place there is the big annual Commencement this 'Friday night followed by a free dance in the Armouries, Then, before long there is the Christmas formal dance on the night MISSING IRfaTElf, Police had a mystery of the missing motorist on their hands last week- end. The mystery started at 2 o'clock last Saturday morning, when a local garage Operator was called to the south pier where a car was "lettering" on the edge of the dock, The driver had gone over the rail- way crossing and failed to turn either left or right on the dock. As a result the front end of the car rested only inches from .the water. But when police reached the scene the driver was not around. So, when the tow truck had hauled the car to safety, Constables Arnold Summers and James Moore drove it uptown to the police office an East street. It wasnt Until 8.43 o'clock that morning that the owner, Newton Black, of Sarnia, showed up to claim his vehicle, His absence remained un- explained.--Goderich Signal-Star, litr.,,,,,Ve0WMOVOL that ,school closes for the year. .Tbliff • year that date falls on the 'twenty, second of P0P940P1'.
