TRUCK ROLLS TO DOCS
EDGE; ROAD dAVES IN
Lloyd Hodges, of Dungan-
non, will be wary of driving at
the dock at Goderich harbor
in the future.
Last Friday he had a close
call there when his truck load-_ i
ed with grain suddenly went
into a hole, tipped and the
grain spilled over the dock.
As the vehicle rolled toward
the edge, Mr. Hodges jumped
clear, fearing • it might topple
into the harbor. As workers
rushed to give 'assistance, the
truck stopped a few feet from
the water.
When workers investigated,
they found that the truck had
driven onto a section of the
road that had been built over
. an old salt well. The timbers
of the well gave way under the
strain.
