A lightning arrestor failed at the transformer station late in the afternoon, around 3.4S p.m. Saturday. B, J. Pierce of Ontario Hydro, Walkerton said the problem ] was 'internal and work crews did not detect the fault until early evening. ] Equipment , problems occurred simultaneously at the -Lucknow substation and in an electronic recloser at Holyrood. The combination problems at both locations were com- pounded by severe snow conditions. A snowblower was required to remove the snow at the Kinloss station to allow work Brews to reach the equipment. Specialists with test equipment had to be called in to find the internal problem as damage was not visible said Pierce. Hydro moved a complete mobile substation to Lucknow, but power was restored before it was hooked into the system. Hydro managed to pickup about 2/3 of the village before the problems were cleared at the substation and also managed to restore power tomany of the rural customers in Ashfield, Kinloss and West Wawanosh from substations at Holyrood; Wingham and Reid's Corners. Part of the village had power restored around 9 p.m. and the Lucknow substation went back into service at 12.40 a.m. Pierce said that it may seem strange for a lightning arrestor to cause problems in the winter, but they sometimes deteriorate when they get a shot of lightning instead of blowing apart and then fail later. He said that the arrestors have been removed from the Lucknow substation and will be replaced with new ones.

Improper direct viewing may cause painless burns to the retina because the sun's rays can burn a blind spot in the center of the eye's retina. Damage ' may not show for several hours. The Ontario Association of Optometrists says it is safest to avoid any devices for direct viewing. Watch the eclipse indirectly on television, for example. Although certain devices have been safely used for direct viewing, the risks involved with improper • use `.could lead to blindness. If your children are going to be outside February 26, the Ontario Association of Optometrists ask you make sure they do not look directly at ...the eclipse.. The sun's rays will become fewer, but not weaker. Keep small children indoors and suggest older 'ones watch the eclipse indirectly. Help the older children make a sunscope withinstruction available from your family optometrist,' but supervise the safe use of this indirect viewing method. Better still, suggest they watch theeclipse on television. South KinToss BY RUTH BUCHMEIER Last Saturday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

When the hydro went off on Saturday we were thank- ful that we had fire places, woodstoves,combination furnaces and generators. Sure didn't take long or a house to .get cold. Seems we take so much for granted until at a time like this when' we are without heat, water or lights.
