Charles 4. Lindbergh, Who for
several year's was,, without doubt,
the most . • famous roan in the
world, died .on Monday at his
secluded vacation home , in the'

Charles Lindbergh caught the
romantic imagination of young
and old when he cothpleted the
first solo flight from west to east
across the Atlantie Ocean in 1927
-- a feat which may not seem

THE PRICE RIGHT --
It . would m that at least
three servic station owners in
town are in competitive mood.
At our last look the price of regu-
lar gas at any of the three sta-
tions on Josephine St. and Vic-
toria was .64.9 cents a gallon.
We're not sure how it all got
started but business at that end of
town certainly seems brisk this
week.

The son of a widowed Min-
nesota school teacher,' Lind-
bergh's epoch-making flight was
made possible only by his own
determination and persistence in
his quest for backers for the
venture. Since the numerous
unsuccessful attempts at the
trans -ocean flight had dampened
enthusi3isrn for financial support
the 'young flier spent months
arranging for the money to build
and fuel the Spirit of St. Louis. By
today's standards it was a tiny
craft and powered by a Single
engine. Overloaded by 1;000
pounds of extra `fuel, his plane
labored off a mist -shrouded field
on the morning of May 20, 1927.
Thirty-three and a half hours
later it touched , down at Le
Bourget near Paris. To read his ,
Own mildly -phrased account of
the battle against rain, sleet, fog
and the need for sleep is a
revelation of his unique
character.
The world went mad for a few
months after the flight. On his
return to New York Lindbergh
was accorded the biggest victory
parade in that city's history as
his car was showered with ticker -
tape from the Wall Street stock
market offices and hundreds of
thousands turned out to cheer
their instant hero. His shy, boyish
manner further endeared him to
the public everywhere he went.
Later life brought him not only
acclaim, but deep tragedy.

In the years prior , to the
American entry into the Second
World War the. Lindbergh name
began to stir less friendly
responses. ' The aviator' visited
Germany and accepted a high
honor from the Third. Reich.
Returning home he stumped the
country protesting the United
States entering the conflict on the
side of the Allies: He was con-
vinced that Great Britain was
doomed and that America would
only be dragged under' in the final
holocaust.
Nevertheless, when his country
did enter the war, Lindbergh
Served with �diisUnetinn as a
civilian training officer and on
active flying missions in the
Pacific theatre. His war -time
service was never widely
publicized and little was written
about- him in the public press.
Since the war years Charles
Lindbergh had served the cause
of humanity in many ways -- as a
conservationist, naturalist and
air flight consultant.
His death was attributed to
cancer of the lymphatic system
and at his own request he was
buried the same day in Hawaii.

kint power fay
A violent thunderstorm which
dumped heavy rains on the
Wingham area on Monday was
blamed for power blackouts at
two' of the town's major in-
dustries as well as triggering the
fire alert siren at the Wingham
fire hall.
PUC workmen labored through
Tuesday morning's rain and cold
"to restore power to the Western
Foundry and the Electrohome
plant on Victoria St. At press
time the foundry's power had
been restored but Electrohome
was still without electricity.
Carson Snowdon, a PUC employ-
ee, said that power at Electro -
home might be off most of
Tuesday because the transform-
er which feeds power to the plant

exploded: • during the ' Monday
night storm. He added that in the
past year or so transformers
have become a , rare commodity
on the retail market, even for
public utilities. The PUC has
been looking for some time now
for used or new transformers that
could be used as backup units.
Mr. Snowdon said PUC workmen
were trying to re-route power
from a transformer station at
Lloyd Door plant to the Electro -
home building until a new
transformer can be installed.
Residents of the town were
awakened from their sleep early
Tuesday morning when
lightening struck telephone lines
outside the fire hall and set off the
fire .siren. Fire Chief Dave

Crothers' said that no damage
was done to the 'telephone circuit
and there was no intetrruption in'
telephone service to the fire hall.
The fire siren is connected to the
telephone line and goes . off as -
soon as the emergency number is
dialed. However, the siren's wail
was quickly silenced and all the
telephone lines and circuits were
checked.
The disturbance is also blamed
for a number of short power
interruptions to residential and
rural areas in the district.
Broadcasting CKNX ` radio was
delayed about an hour on
Tuesday morning while workers
repaired minor damage their
equipment suffered during the
night. Isolated reports of crop
damage and hail have also been
attributed to the overnight storm.
However, by Tuesday morning
most areas had normal service
while residents faced the job of
cleaning up any damage the
storm had wreaked on their
property•
