Clinton Farm Supply • (By our Hayfield. correspondent) •The worst thunderstorm in years, accompanied by Wm , haul and 'rain, hit Hayfield suddenly on Friday afternoon about two o'clock, The hail pelted down so hard that it is described as bounc- ing off the ground. No windows were broken by the hail but many householders stiffered from burned, out fuses and telephones out of order. At the local switch -board, Mrs. E. Heard, part-time operator, thought that the telephone office had been. struck. The air seemed thick with gas from the blown out fuses, and it was the Albion Hotel across the street which was struck once, if not twice. Mrs. A. M. Bassett and Mrs. H. H. Ormond were in the dining room at the time. Speechless, theY watched a ball of fire roll along the floor from the service room, back to the bar room (where the electric fuse box is located), come into the centre of the dining room, where, fortunately for them, it turned and went into the kit- chen. Evidently the water attract- ed it for the collar of the sink in the kitchen was blown off. . Hugh R. MacKay, proprietor, and Frank Corrie were in the bar room, and they thought that it PHONE 127 CLINTON into had followed the hydro wi' the house as the lights all went out and the telephone was out of edrumission, They describe the air "throughout the building as being filled with a sulpur-like dust. But what makes Mr. MacKay and his daughters wonder if the place were struck twice is the fact that the shingles were ripped off the roof over the bathroom, a chunk of plaster fell from the ceiling of the south-east bedroom, and they've found little chips off here and there throughout the building. E. A. Westlake, next door, said that he heard the crash before he saw the flash of lightning which hit The Albion. (About 30 years ago this hotel was struck during a bad electrical storm in the night. On that oc- casion one member of the family opened her eyes to see a huge ball of fire sailing through the upstairs corridor—needless to say, she dos- ed her eyes quickly. At that time Edwards store and residence was also struck.) On Friday the master switch at the Cities Service Station was blown out and sparks , flew throughout the building. At Alf, Scotchmer's on the north bank of the river, the switch was blown out, also the radio and telephone. The local electricians have been called to a number of homes to repair minor damages. It is difficult to say whether J H. Parker or his team of gen- eral purpose horses were the more upset when they took fright at a loud crack of thunder and ran away. Jack was closing the gate at F. McAllister's property at the northern limits of The Highlands. When they started, he called "Whoa! Whoa!" and the mare which he has had for several years was inclined to obey his command, but her mate, which he acquired this spring, dragged her on. He watched team and wagon careen- ing from one side of the highway to the other in their mad dash towards the village. Fortunately, there wasn't much traffic and driv- ers of vehicles who saw them com- ing gave them the whole road. Leslie Elliott, at the Bayfield Garage, saw them approaching and went out to try and turn them off the highway, but this time the mare had her way and she took her mate with her to the barn. Les tied the quivering team up while Jack Sturgeon, Jr., jumped into his car and went after their owner, following on foot. And after the storm had passed, Jack Parker drove the team back to pick up the wagon box. Its many.a year since a run -a -way team of horses has been seen in Bayfield! :40:40:40:MONONA04440:4 • AUBURN •••••••-•-•••••••••-•-••••••-• Mrs. Wes Bradnock, president of the Womens' Institute, attend- ed the officers' convention held at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, last Thursday and Friday.

Mrs. Catherine Dobie who has been visiting her son Eugene and Mrs. Dobie, Toronto, has returned home. Mr. and Mrs. Beverly French and family, Detroit, visited Mr. and Mrs. George Beadle, Saturday. Postmaster Honoured Postmaster Alfred Rollinson was highly honoured last week when he was made the recipient of a Coronation Medal. This gift given to commemorate the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is in recognition of Mr.' Rol- linson's long and faithful service to her as a civil servant and to this. community as a local post- master. Mr. Rollinson has been postmaster since April 1928. He is also a veteran of World War I. House Is Struck During the severe electrical storm Friday. ,the home of Mr. and Mrs, Lewis Ruddy was struck. A shade on a floor lamp caught fire. Had no one been home the house would have been burned. A num- ber of telephones were put out of order also. Trinity Guild The regular monthly meeting of the Guild of Trinity Church was held at the home of Mrs. George Adams on Tuesday evening. The president, Mrs. Lloyd Scotehmer, opened the meeting and the Lord's Prayer and The Creed were re- peated in unison. Mrs. William E. Parker gave the secretary's report and Mrs. N. W. Woods the financ- ial statement. There was a good attendance and the ladies spent the evening cutting and sewing pieces for a quilt. Following the Benediction, pro- nounced by the president, the host- ess served dainty refreshments. The Late Mrs. Rhynas From a report in the Globe and Mail of the Advisory Conference of the Women's Hospital Auxiliar- ies, held recently at the Royal York, Toronto, we quote: "In memory of the late Mrs. Oliver Rhynas, for many years Ontario President and founder and first president of the National Council of Auxiliaries, a room is being furnished in Brantford Gen- eral Hospital, it was announced by President Mrs, H. G. Horning of Woodstock. It was in Brantford that Mrs. Rhynas began her hos- pital work," A daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Ferguson, the late Mrs. Rhynas was born in Hayfield and loved her native village. We feel that her great work for hospitals could be recognized inno more fitting manner by the Hospital Auxiliaries. United Church WMS The Women's Missionary So- ciety of the United Church met last Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. Fred Watson with a good attendance. Mrs' , H. Helmer, sec- ond vice-president, conducted the devotional part of the meeting and Mrs. Westlake the business part. The chapter from the study book was taken by Mrs, C. Campbell, assisted by Mrs. Hohner, 1VIrs. Sparks, Mrs. Westlake and Mrs. C. H. Scotchmer. This was in the form of an imaginary journey through Europe viewing conditions there, as they are today. Even after some nine years of peace the most outstanding word in all these reports was "refugees"; thousands of these unfortunate people are still displaced and on relief in al- most every country in Europe, especially in Germany, These create a most staggering problem for both church and state and the study book told of different ways the churches are seeking to meet the problem. The delegates to the Presbyter- ial meeting held on April 14 in Seaforth, Mrs. P. Renner, Mrs. Hohner and Mrs, Westlake, each gave a brief report of that meet- ing.
