Small Twistet
Does Damage
At Huron Farm
BY AB WILDS.
a small tornado like twister about
one block west of the fifteenth on
the fourth coneession.
Here; at the • farm of Mr. and
Mrs. Gerry, Meurs and family, 'a
grain box was slammed „into the
side of the. truck. The top was
,'taken off the silo and it lifted the
roof of the barn, cracking the'
timbers of the frame before letting
the roof drop back on the barn. It
took about one minute to destroy
about a 25 acre path through the,
corn field. While it lasted only a
brief period, it peppered the area
with large hailstones, threatening
the windows in the 'house.
Neighbours in the area, suffered
no serious damage as apparently
the twister lifted back into the sky.
The Meurs, who came here about
seven years ago,' live on the former
Walmsley homestead, just west of
the former Stinson farm,, or now
Dort and Barbara Paquette's place. I
It is thought that perhaps a work
bee will be organized in the near
future, as,several neighbours have
offered. At the time of Writing the
barn roof is in an unsafe condition. •
