height on Wednesday and teased away
on Thursday. .
As a result no buses arrived at or
left Goderlch"' on either Wednesday or
Thursday. Trains into Goderich ran
from half an hour to an hour late on
Wedmesday and Thursday.
Thursday, morning saw worried -look-
ing groups: of travellers sitting around
local hotels looking at road maps and
trying to figure out ways of continu-
ing on their way. Some were held up
here from'Tuesday and were unable
to get away ,this morning. A couple of
travellers left their cars here and took
the early train this morning to Toronto,
intending to return for their cars later.
A few left by car• this afternoon in the
hope of getting by. A number of care
.came through today from Kitchener
and London.
Practically all rural roads were im-
passable on Wednesday. The rural
mail carriers set out on. their routes
and got varying distances, but all had
to return. unable to complete their
routes. The sehuol bus service also
was disorganized.
